220
2213. Distribution Obligations.
222
2233.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which
224You contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without
225limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
226distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this
227License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this
228License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer
229or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the
230applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder.
231However, You may include an additional document offering the additional rights
232described in Section 3.5.
233
2343.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to
235which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the
236terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via
237an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
238Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
239Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months
240after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after
241a subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available
242to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code
243version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
244maintained by a third party.
245
2463.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which
247You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create
248that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent
249statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from
250Original Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the
251Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
252Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin
253or ownership of the Covered Code.
254
2553.4. Intellectual Property Matters
256
257(a) Third Party Claims
258
259If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
260intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by
261such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text
262file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the
263claim and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient
264will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the
265Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall
266promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available
267thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing
268lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the
269Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
270
271(b) Contributor APIs
272
273If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming
274interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which are
275reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this
276information in the LEGAL file.
277
278(c) Representations.
279
280Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4 (a)
281above, Contributor believes that Contributor's Modifications are
282Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient
283rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
284
2853.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file
286of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular
287Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
288location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look
289for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your
290name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also
291duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You
292describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code.
293You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity
294or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However,
295You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
296Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such
297warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone,
298and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor
299for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a
300result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
301
3023.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered Code in
303Executable form only if the requirements of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and
3043.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating
305that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms
306of this License, including a description of how and where You have fulfilled
307the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in
308any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in
309which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You
310may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights
311under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this
312License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
313and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or
314alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights
315set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a
316different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which
317differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
318Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
319Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
320Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
321
3223.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with
323other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
324Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements
325of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
326
3274. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
328
329If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License
330with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial
331order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License
332to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code
333they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in
334Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code.
335Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
336must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
337understand it.
338
3395. Application of this License.
340This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the
341notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
342
3436. Versions of the License.
344
3456.1. New Versions
346
347Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or
348new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a
349distinguishing version number.
350
3516.2. Effect of New Versions
352
353Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
354License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version.
355You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent
356version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has
357the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this
358License.
359
3606.3. Derivative Works
361
362If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do
363in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code governed by
364this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "Mozilla",
365"MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar
366phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs
367from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the
368license contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
369Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer,
370Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of
371themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
372
3737. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
374COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
375WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
376LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE,
377FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
378QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED
379CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY
380OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
381CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS
382LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
383DISCLAIMER.
384
3858. Termination
386
3878.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
388automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such
389breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the
390Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this
391License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
392termination of this License shall survive.
393
3948.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim
395(excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
396Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such
397action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
398
399a. such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
400infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to
401You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice
402from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after
403receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a
404mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of
405Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim
406with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60
407days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually
408agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not
409withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or
4102.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period
411specified above.
412
413b. any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
414Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any
415rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are
416revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or
417had made, Modifications made by that Participant.
418
4198.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging
420that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
421infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or
422settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then
423the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such Participant under
424Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or
425value of any payment or license.
426
4278.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user
428license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been
429validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall
430survive termination.
431
4329. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
433UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
434NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY
435OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY
436OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
437INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
438LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
439MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH
440PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS
441LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
442INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE
443LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION
444OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND
445LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
446
44710. U.S. government end users
448The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R.
4492.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and
450"commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48
451C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
452227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users
453acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
454
45511. Miscellaneous
456This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter
457hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such
458provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
459enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions
460(except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding
461its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one
462party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in
463the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
464subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of
465California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the
466losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs
467and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the
468United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
469expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of
470a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
471License.
472
47312. Responsibility for claims
474As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible
475for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization
476of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and
477Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
478herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of
479liability.
480
48113. Multiple-licensed code
482Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-
483Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to
484utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the MPL or the
485alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file
