  • 3. Distribution Obligations.

    • 3.1. Availability of Source Code.

      Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise

      make available in Executable form must also be made

      available in Source Code form and that Source Code form

      must be distributed only under the terms of this License.

      You must include a copy of this License with every copy of

      the Source Code form of the Covered Software You

      distribute or otherwise make available. You must inform

      recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form

      as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source

      Code form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium

      customarily used for software exchange.

    • 3.2. Modifications.

      The Modifications that You create or to which You

      contribute are governed by the terms of this License. You

      represent that You believe Your Modifications are Your

      original creation(s) and/or You have sufficient rights to

      grant the rights conveyed by this License.

    • 3.3. Required Notices.

      You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications

      that identifies You as the Contributor of the

      Modification. You may not remove or alter any copyright,

      patent or trademark notices contained within the Covered

      Software, or any notices of licensing or any descriptive

      text giving attribution to any Contributor or the Initial

      Developer.

    • 3.4. Application of Additional Terms.

      You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered

      Software in Source Code form that alters or restricts the

      applicable version of this License or the

      recipients rights hereunder. You may choose to

      offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,

      indemnity or liability obligations to one or more

      recipients of Covered Software. 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 that 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.

    • 3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.

      You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered

      Software under the terms of this License or under the

      terms of 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 form does not attempt to limit

      or alter the recipients rights in the Source Code

      form from the rights set forth in this License. If You

      distribute the Covered Software in Executable form 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 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.

    • 3.6. Larger Works.

      You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered

      Software 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

      Software.

  • 4. Versions of the License.

    • 4.1. New Versions.

      Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward

      and may publish revised and/or new versions of this

      License from time to time. Each version will be given a

      distinguishing version number. Except as provided in

      Section 4.3, no one other than the license steward has the

      right to modify this License.

    • 4.2. Effect of New Versions.

      You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise

      make the Covered Software available under the terms of the

      version of the License under which You originally received

      the Covered Software. If the Initial Developer includes a

      notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being

      distributed or otherwise made available under any

      subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and

      make the Covered Software available under the terms of the

      version of the License under which You originally received

      the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to

      use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software

      available under the terms of any subsequent version of the

      License published by the license steward.

    • 4.3. Modified Versions.

      When You are an Initial Developer and You want to

      create a new license for Your Original Software, You may

      create and use a modified version of this License if You:

      (a) rename the license and remove any references to

      the name of the license steward (except to note that the

      license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise

      make it clear that the license contains terms which differ

      from this License.

  • 5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.

    COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN

    AS IS BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,

    EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,

    WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS,

    MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.

    THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE

    COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE

    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 SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS

    DISCLAIMER.

  • 6. TERMINATION.

    • 6.1. 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. Provisions which, by

      their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination

      of this License shall survive.

    • 6.2.

      If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory

      judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the

      Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You assert such claim is

      referred to as Participant) alleging that the Participant Software

      (meaning the Contributor Version where the Participant is a Contributor

      or the Original Software where the Participant is the Initial

      Developer) directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and

      all rights granted directly or indirectly to You by such Participant,

      the Initial Developer (if the Initial Developer is not the Participant)

      and all Contributors under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License

      shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively and

      automatically at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if

      within such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the

      Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally or

      pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.

    • 6.3. In the event of termination under

      Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, all end user licenses

      that have been

      validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to

      termination (excluding licenses granted to You by any

      distributor) shall survive termination.

  • 7. 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 SOFTWARE, 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 LOST PROFITS, 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 PARTYS

    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.

  • 8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.

    The Covered Software is a commercial item, as

    that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),

    consisting of commercial computer software (as

    that term is defined at 48

    C.F.R.  252.227-7014(a)(1)) and commercial

    computer software documentation as such terms are used

    in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with

    48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4

    (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered

    Software with only those rights set forth herein. This

    U.S. Government Rights clause is in lieu of, and supersedes,

    any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or provision that

    addresses Government rights in computer software under this

    License.

  • 9. 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. This

    License shall be governed by the law of the jurisdiction

    specified in a notice contained within the Original Software

    (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides

    otherwise), excluding such jurisdictions

    conflict-of-law provisions. Any

    litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the

    jurisdiction of the courts located in the

    jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained within

    the Original Software, with the losing party responsible for

    costs, including, without limitation, court costs and

    reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The

    application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for

    the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any

    law or regulation which provides that the language of a

    contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not

    apply to this License. You agree that You alone are

    responsible for compliance with the United States export

    administration regulations (and the export control laws and

    regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute or

    otherwise make available any Covered Software.

  • 10. 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.
