152+
153+
3. Distribution Obligations.
154+
155+
3.1. Availability of Source Code.
156+
157+
Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make
158+
available in Executable form must also be made available in Source
159+
Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under
160+
the terms of this License. You must include a copy of this
161+
License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered
162+
Software You distribute or otherwise make available. You must
163+
inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form
164+
as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code
165+
form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
166+
used for software exchange.
167+
168+
3.2. Modifications.
169+
170+
The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
171+
governed by the terms of this License. You represent that You
172+
believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or
173+
You have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
174+
License.
175+
176+
3.3. Required Notices.
177+
178+
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
179+
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may
180+
not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices
181+
contained within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing
182+
or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or
183+
the Initial Developer.
184+
185+
3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
186+
187+
You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
188+
Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version
189+
of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. You may
190+
choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
191+
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
192+
Covered Software. However, you may do so only on Your own behalf,
193+
and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
194+
You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
195+
indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
196+
hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
197+
Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
198+
such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
199+
liability terms You offer.
200+
201+
3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
202+
203+
You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
204+
under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of
205+
Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
206+
provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
207+
and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to
208+
limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from
209+
the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the
210+
Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You
211+
must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from
212+
this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
213+
Developer or Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
214+
Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
215+
by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
216+
such terms You offer.
217+
218+
3.6. Larger Works.
219+
220+
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
221+
other code not governed by the terms of this License and
222+
distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case,
223+
You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled
224+
for the Covered Software.
225+
226+
4. Versions of the License.
227+
228+
4.1. New Versions.
229+
230+
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may
231+
publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to
232+
time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
233+
Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license
234+
steward has the right to modify this License.
235+
236+
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
237+
238+
You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
239+
Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
240+
License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
241+
If the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original
242+
Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
243+
available under any subsequent version of the License, You must
244+
distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms
245+
of the version of the License under which You originally received
246+
the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use,
247+
distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under
248+
the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by
249+
the license steward.
250+
251+
4.3. Modified Versions.
252+
253+
When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
254+
license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a
255+
modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license
256+
and remove any references to the name of the license steward
257+
(except to note that the license differs from this License); and
258+
(b) otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which
259+
differ from this License.
260+
261+
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
262+
263+
COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS"
264+
BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
265+
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED
266+
SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
267+
PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
268+
PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY
269+
COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE
270+
INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
271+
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF
272+
WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
273+
ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
274+
DISCLAIMER.
275+
276+
6. TERMINATION.
277+
278+
6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
279+
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
280+
cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
281+
Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond
282+
the termination of this License shall survive.
283+
284+
6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
285+
declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
286+
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
287+
assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that
288+
the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
289+
the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
290+
the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
291+
infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
292+
indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if
293+
the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
294+
under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
295+
notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
296+
at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
297+
such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
298+
Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally
299+
or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
300+
301+
6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
302+
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
303+
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
304+
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.
305+
306+
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
307+
308+
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
309+
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
310+
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
311+
COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE
312+
LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
313+
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
314+
LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
315+
STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
316+
COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
317+
INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
318+
LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
319+
INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
320+
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
321+
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
322+
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
323+
APPLY TO YOU.
324+
325+
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
326+
327+
The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is
328+
defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial
329+
computer software" (as that term is defined at 48
330+
C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software
331+
documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
332+
(Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
333+
C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
334+
U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only those
335+
rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in
336+
lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or
337+
provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
338+
under this License.
339+
340+
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
341+
342+
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
343+
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
344+
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
345+
necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed
346+
by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained
347+
within the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law,
348+
if any, provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's
349+
conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this
350+
License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located
351+
in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained
352+
within the Original Software, with the losing party responsible
353+
for costs, including, without limitation, court costs and
354+
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the
355+
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
356+
of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which
357+
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
358+
against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You agree
359+
that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
360+
States export administration regulations (and the export control
361+
laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use,
362+
distribute or otherwise make available any Covered Software.
363+
364+
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
365+
366+
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
367+
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
368+
indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License
369+
and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to
370+
distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing
371+
herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission
372+
of liability.
373+
