Distribution Obligations. + + 3.1. Application of License. + + The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are + governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation + Section 2.2. + + The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed only under + the terms of this License or a future version of this License released + under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with + every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or + impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts + the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights + hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering + the additional rights described in Section 3.5. + + 3.2. Availability of Source Code. + + Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be + made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License + either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted + Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an + Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic + Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) + months after the date it initially became available, or at least six + (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification + has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for + ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the + Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party. + + 3.3. Description of Modifications. + + You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a + file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and + the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that + the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original + Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the + Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an + Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the + origin or ownership of the Covered Code. + + 3.4.

Required Notices. + + You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source + Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source + Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in + a location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely + to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) + You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in + Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation + for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership + rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to + charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability + obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You + may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial + Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than + any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is + offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial + Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the + Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, + support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. + + 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. + + You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the + requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, + and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of + the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, + including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the + obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included + in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or + collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the + Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered + Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may + contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in + compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the + Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's + rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this + License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different + license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ + from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial + Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the + Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by + the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such + terms You offer. + + 3.7. Larger Works. + + You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code + not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger + Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the + requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code. + +4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation. + + If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License + with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial + order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this + License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and + the code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file + described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the + Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such + description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill + to be able to understand it. + +5. Application of this License. + + 5.1. Attached license. + + This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has + attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code. + + 5.2. Detached license. + + This License applies to code which is part of a Source Tree + containing this license in a file named LICENSE or license.html + at the top of its hierarchy and which is not explicitly covered by a + different license. + +6. Versions of the License. + + 6.1. New Versions. + + The AROS development team may publish revised and/or new versions of + the License from time to time. Each version will be given a + distinguishing version number. + + 6.2. Effect of New Versions. + + Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of + the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that + version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms + of any subsequent version of the License. No one other than the AROS + development team has the right to modify the terms applicable to + Covered Code created under this License. + +7.

THE ENTIRE + RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. + SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE + INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY + NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY + CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE + IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER. + +8. TERMINATION. + + 8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate + automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure + such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All + sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall + survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their + nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License + shall survive. + + 8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim + (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a + Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You + file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that: + + (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly + infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such + Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License + shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate + prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice + You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually + agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of + Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your + litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against + such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable + royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in + writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, + the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or + 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice + period specified above. + + (b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's + Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, + then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections + 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first + made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by + that Participant. + + 8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging + that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly + infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license + or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement + litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such + Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in + determining the amount or value of any payment or license. + + 8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end + user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which + have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to + termination shall survive termination. + +9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. + + UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING + NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY + OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF + ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, + INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT + LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE + OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF + SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR + PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT + APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW + THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS + EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. + +10.

MISCELLANEOUS. + + This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter + hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such + provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it + enforceable. + +12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS. + + As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is + responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of + its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with + Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an + equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to + constitute any admission of liability. + +13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE. + + Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as + "Multiple-Licensed".
