2
3This Motosoto Open Source License (the "License") applies to "Community Portal Server" and related
4software products as well as any updatesor maintenance releases of that software ("Motosoto
5Products") that are distributed by Motosoto.Com B.V. ("Licensor"). Any Motosoto Product licensed
6pursuant to this License is a "Licensed Product." Licensed Product, in its entirety, is protected
7by Dutch copyright law. This License identifies the terms under which you may use, copy, distribute
8or modify Licensed Product and has been submitted to the Open Software Initiative (OSI) for
9approval.
10
11Preamble
12
13This Preamble is intended to describe, in plain English, the nature and scope of this License.
14However, this Preamble is not a part of this license. The legal effect of this License is dependent
15only upon the terms of the License and not this Preamble. This License complies with the Open
16Source Definition and has been approved by Open Source Initiative. Software distributed under this
17License may be marked as "OSI Certified Open Source Software."
18
19This License provides that:
20
211. You may use, sell or give away the Licensed Product, alone or as a component of an aggregate
22software distribution containing programs from several different sources. No royalty or other fee
23is required.
24
252. Both Source Code and executable versions of the Licensed Product, including Modifications made
26by previous Contributors, are available for your use. (The terms "Licensed Product,"
27"Modifications," "Contributors" and "Source Code" are defined in the License.)
28
293. You are allowed to make Modifications to the Licensed Product, and you can create Derivative
30Works from it. (The term "Derivative Works" is defined in the License.)
31
324. By accepting the Licensed Product under the provisions of this License, you agree that any
33Modifications you make to the Licensed Product and then distribute are governed by the provisions
34of this License. In particular, you must make the Source Code of your Modifications available to
35others.
36
375. You may use the Licensed Product for any purpose, but the Licensor is not providing you any
38warranty whatsoever, nor is the Licensor accepting any liability in the event that the Licensed
39Product doesn't work properly or causes you any injury or damages.
40
416. If you sublicense the Licensed Product or Derivative Works, you may charge fees for warranty or
42support, or for accepting indemnity or liability obligations to your customers. You cannot charge
43for the Source Code.
44
457. If you assert any patent claims against the Licensor relating to the Licensed Product, or if you
46breach any terms of the License, your rights to the Licensed Product under this License
47automatically terminate.
48
49You may use this License to distribute your own Derivative Works, in which case the provisions of
50this License will apply to your Derivative Works just as they do to the original Licensed Product.
51
52Alternatively, you may distribute your Derivative Works under any other OSI-approved Open Source
53license, or under a proprietary license of your choice. If you use any license other than this
54License, however, you must continue to fulfill the requirements of this License (including the
55provisions relating to publishing the Source Code) for those portions of your Derivative Works that
56consist of the Licensed Product, including the files containing Modifications.
57
58New versions of this License may be published from time to time. You may choose to continue to use
59the license terms in this version of the License or those from the new version. However, only the
60Licensor has the right to change the License terms as they apply to the Licensed Product. This
61License relies on precise definitions for certain terms. Those terms are defined when they are
62first used, and the definitions are repeated for your convenience in a Glossary at the end of the
63License.
64
65License Terms
66
671. Grant of License From Licensor.
68
69Licensor hereby grants you a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third
70party intellectual property claims, to do the following:
71
72     a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute Licensed Product or
73portions thereof (including Modifications as hereinafter defined), in both Source Code or as an
74executable program. "Source Code" means the preferred form for making modifications to the Licensed
75Product, including all modules contained therein, plus any associated interface definition files,
76scripts used to control compilation and installation of an executable program, or a list of
77differential comparisons against the Source Code of the Licensed Product.
78
79     b. Create Derivative Works (as that term is defined under Dutch copyright law) of Licensed
80Product by adding to or deleting from the substance or structure of said Licensed Product.
81
82     c. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Licensor, to make, use,
83sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Licensed Product or portions thereof,
84but solely to the extent that any such claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell, offer
85for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Licensed Product or portions thereof or Derivative
86Works thereof.
87
882. Grant of License to Modifications From Contributor.
89
90"Modifications" means any additions to or deletions from the substance or structure of (i) a file
91containing Licensed Product, or (ii) any new file that contains any part of Licensed Product.
92Hereinafter in this License, the term "Licensed Product" shall include all previous Modifications
93that you receive from any Contributor. By application of the provisions in Section 4(a) below, each
94person or entity who created or contributed to the creation of, and distributed, a Modification (a
95"Contributor") hereby grants you a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to
96third party intellectual property claims, to do the following:
97
98     a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute any Modifications
99created by such Contributor or portions thereof, in both Source Code or as an executable program,
100either on an unmodified basis or as part of Derivative Works.
101
102     b. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Contributor, to make, use,
103sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof, but
104solely to the extent that any such claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell, offer for
105sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof or Derivative Works
106thereof.
107
1083. Exclusions From License Grant.
109
110Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents,
111trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor or any Contributor except as expressly
112stated herein. No patent license is granted separate from the Licensed Product, for code that you
113delete from the Licensed Product, or for combinations of the Licensed Product with other software
114or hardware. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor or any Contributor even if such
115marks are included in the Licensed Product. Nothing in this License shall be interpreted to
116prohibit Licensor from licensing under different terms from this License any code that Licensor
117otherwise would have a right to license.
118
1194. Your Obligations Regarding Distribution.
120
121     a. Application of This License to Your Modifications. As an express condition for your use of
122the Licensed Product, you hereby agree that any Modifications that you create or to which you
123contribute, and which you distribute, are governed by the terms of this License including, without
124limitation, Section 2. Any Modifications that you create or to which you contribute may be
125distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under
126Section 7. You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Modifications you
127distribute. You agree not to offer or impose any terms on any Source Code or executable version of
128the Licensed Product or Modifications that alter or restrict the applicable version of this License
129or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, you may include an additional document offering the
130additional rights described in Section 4(e).
131
132     b. Availability of Source Code. You must make available, under the terms of this License, the
133Source Code of the Licensed Product and any Modifications that you distribute, either on the same
134media as you distribute any executable or other form of the Licensed Product, or via a mechanism
135generally accepted in the software development community for the electronic transfer of data (an
136"Electronic Distribution Mechanism"). The Source Code for any version of Licensed Product or
137Modifications that you distribute must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the
138date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of said
139Licensed Product or Modifications has been made available. You are responsible for ensuring that
140the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
141maintained by a third party.
142
143     c. Description of Modifications. You must cause any Modifications that you create or to which
144you contribute, and which you distribute, to contain a file documenting the additions, changes or
145deletions you made to create or contribute to those Modifications, and the dates of any such
146additions, changes or deletions. You must include a prominent statement that the Modifications are
147derived, directly or indirectly, from the Licensed Product and include the names of the Licensor
148and any Contributor to the Licensed Product in (i) the Source Code and (ii) in any notice displayed
149by a version of the Licensed Product you distribute or in related documentation in which you
150describe the origin or ownership of the Licensed Product. You may not modify or delete any
151preexisting copyright notices in the Licensed Product.
152
153     d. Intellectual Property Matters.
154          i. Third Party Claims. If you have knowledge that a license to a third party's
155intellectual property right is required to exercise the rights granted by this License, you must
156include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" that describes the claim and
157the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If you
158obtain such knowledge after you make any Modifications available as described in Section 4(b), you
159shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies you make available thereafter and shall take
160other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to
161inform those who received the Licensed Product from you that new knowledge has been obtained.
162
163          ii. Contributor APIs. If your Modifications include an application programming interface
164("API") and you have knowledge of patent licenses that are reasonably necessary to implement that
165API, you must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
166
167          iii. Representations. You represent that, except as disclosed pursuant to 4(d)(i) above,
168you believe that any Modifications you distribute are your original creations and that you have
169sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
170
171     e. Required Notices. You must duplicate this License in any documentation you provide along
172with the Source Code of any Modifications you create or to which you contribute, and which you
173distribute, wherever you describe recipients' rights relating to Licensed Product. You must
174duplicate the notice contained in Exhibit A (the "Notice") in each file of the Source Code of any
175copy you distribute of the Licensed Product. If you created a Modification, you may add your name
176as a Contributor to the Notice. If it is not possible to put the Notice in a particular Source Code
177file due to its structure, then you must include such Notice in a location (such as a relevant
178directory file) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. You may choose to offer,
179and charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more
180recipients of Licensed Product. However, you may do so only on your own behalf, and not on behalf
181of the Licensor or any Contributor. You must make it clear that any such warranty, support,
182indemnity or liability obligation is offered by you alone, and you hereby agree to indemnify the
183Licensor and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Licensor or such Contributor as a
184result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms you offer.
185
186     f. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Licensed Product as an executable
187program under a license of your choice that may contain terms different from this License provided
188(i) you have satisfied the requirements of Sections 4(a) through 4(e) for that distribution, (ii)
189you include a conspicuous notice in the executable version, related documentation and collateral
190materials stating that the Source Code version of the Licensed Product is available under the terms
191of this License, including a description of how and where you have fulfilled the obligations of
192Section 4(b), (iii) you retain all existing copyright notices in the Licensed Product, and (iv) you
193make it clear that any terms that differ from this License are offered by you alone, not by
194Licensor or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every Contributor for
195any liability incurred by Licensor or such Contributor as a result of any terms you offer.
196
197     g. Distribution of Derivative Works. You may create Derivative Works (e.g., combinations of
198some or all of the Licensed Product with other code) and distribute the Derivative Works as
199products under any other license you select, with the proviso that the requirements of this License
200are fulfilled for those portions of the Derivative Works that consist of the Licensed Product or
201any Modifications thereto.
202
2035. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
204
205If it is impossible for you to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or
206all of the Licensed Product due to statute, judicial order, or regulation, then you must (i) comply
207with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible, (ii) cite the statute or regulation
208that prohibits you from adhering to the License, and (iii) describe the limitations and the code
209they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 4(d), and
210must be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by
211statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary
212skill at computer programming to be able to understand it.
213
2146. Application of This License.
215
216This License applies to code to which Licensor or Contributor has attached the Notice in Exhibit A,
217which is incorporated herein by this reference.
218
2197. Versions of This License.
220
221     a. Version. The Motosoto Open Source License is derived from the Jabber Open Source License.
222All changes are related to applicable law and the location of court.
223
224     b. New Versions. Licensor may publish from time to time revised and/or new versions of the
225License.
226
227     c. Effect of New Versions. Once Licensed Product has been published under a particular version
228of the License, you may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also
229choose to use such Licensed Product under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
230published by Licensor. No one other than Lic ensor has the right to modify the terms applicable to
231Licensed Product created under this License.
232
233     d. Derivative Works of this License. If you create or use a modified version of this License,
234which you may do only in order to apply it to software that is not already a Licensed Product under
235this License, you must rename your license so that it is not confusingly similar to this License,
236and must make it clear that your license contains terms that differ from this License. In so naming
237your license, you may not use any trademark of Licensor or any Contributor.
238
2398. Disclaimer of Warranty.
240
241LICENSED PRODUCT IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
242EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS
243FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
244TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD LICENSED PRODUCT PROVE
245DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (AND NOT THE LICENSOR OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF
246ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
247PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF LICENSED PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
248DISCLAIMER.
249
2509. Termination.
251
252     a. Automatic Termination Upon Breach. This license and the rights granted hereunder will
253terminate automatically if you fail to comply with the terms herein and fail to cure such breach
254within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Licensed Product
255that are properly granted shall survive any termination of this license. Provisions that, by their
256nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License, shall survive.
257
258     b. Termination Upon Assertion of Patent Infringement. If you initiate litigation by asserting
259a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Licensor or a
260Contributor (Licensor or Contributor against whom you file such an action is referred to herein as
261"Respondent") alleging that Licensed Product directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any
262and all rights granted by such Respondent to you under Sections 1 or 2 of this License shall
263terminate prospectively upon sixty (60) days notice from Respondent (the "Notice Period") unless
264within that Notice Period you either agree in writing (i) to pay Respondent a mutually agreeable
265reasonably royalty for your past or future use of Licensed Product made by such Respondent, or (ii)
266withdraw your litigation claim with respect to Licensed Product against such Respondent. If within
267said Notice Period a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in
268writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Licensor to
269you under Sections 1 and 2 automatically terminate at the expiration of said Notice Period.
270
271     c. Reasonable Value of This License. If you assert a patent infringement claim against
272Respondent alleging that Licensed Product directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such
273claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement
274litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by said Respondent under Sections 1
275and 2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.
276
277     d. No Retroactive Effect of Termination. In the event of termination under Sections 9(a) or
2789(b) above, all end user license agreements (excluding licenses to distributors and reselle rs)
279that have been validly granted by you or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall
280survive termination.
281
28210. Limitation of Liability.
283
284UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR
285OTHERWISE, SHALL THE LICENSOR, ANY CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF LICENSED PRODUCT, OR ANY
286SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
287CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
288WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES,
289EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
290LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY's
291NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE 
292EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY 
293NOT APPLY TO YOU.
294
29511. Responsibility for Claims. 
296
297As between Licensor and Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, 
298directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License. You agree to work with 
299Licensor and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is 
300intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

314provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International 
315Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You and Licensor expressly waive any rights to a jury trial 
316in any litigation concerning Licensed Product or this License. Any law or regulation that provides 
317that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
