ADAPTIVE PUBLIC LICENSE Version 1.0 
 

	
 
THE LICENSED WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ADAPTIVE PUBLIC
 
LICENSE ("LICENSE"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE
 
LICENSED WORK CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE AND
 
ITS TERMS, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH RECIPIENT READS THE TERMS OF THIS
 
LICENSE. "LICENSED WORK" AND "RECIPIENT" ARE DEFINED BELOW.
 

	
 
IMPORTANT NOTE: This License is "adaptive", and the generic version or
 
another version of an Adaptive Public License should not be relied upon
 
to determine your rights and obligations under this License. You must
 
read the specific Adaptive Public License that you receive with the
 
Licensed Work, as certain terms are defined at the outset by the
 
Initial Contributor.
 

	
 
See Section 2.2 below, Exhibit A attached, and any Suppfile.txt
 
accompanying this License to determine the specific adaptive features
 
applicable to this License. For example, without limiting the
 
foregoing, (a) for selected choice of law and jurisdiction see Part 3
 
of Exhibit A; (b) for the selected definition of Third Party see Part 4
 
of Exhibit A; and (c) for selected patent licensing terms (if any) see
 
Section 2.2 below and Part 6 of Exhibit A.

        Work originating from and distributed by such Subsequent
 
        Contributor.

    and/or data that is not a derivative work of or copied from the
 
    Licensed Work or any portion thereof. In addition, a module does
 
    not qualify as an Independent Module but instead forms part of the
 
    Licensed Work if the module: (a) is embedded in the Licensed Work;
 
    (b) is included by reference in the Licensed Work other than by a
 
    function call or a class reference; or (c) must be included or
 
    contained, in whole or in part, within a file directory or

    from changes to and/or additions to:
 

	
 
        (a) the Initial Work;
 

	
 
        (b) any other Subsequent Work; or
 

	
 
        (c) to any combination of the Initial Work and any such other
 
        Subsequent Work;
 

	
 
        where such changes and/or additions originate from a Subsequent
 
        Contributor. A Subsequent Work will "originate" from a
 
        Subsequent Contributor if the Subsequent Work was a result of
 
        efforts by such Subsequent Contributor (or anyone acting on
 
        such Subsequent Contributor's behalf, such as, a contractor or
 
        other entity that is engaged by or under the direction of the
 
        Subsequent Contributor). For greater certainty, a Subsequent
 
        Work expressly excludes and shall not capture within its
 
        meaning any Independent Module.
 

	
 
    1.19. "SUPPLEMENT FILE" means a file distributed with the Licensed
 
    Work having a file name "suppfile.txt".

2. LICENSE.
 

	
 
    2.1. COPYRIGHT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
 

	
 
        (a) Subject to the terms of this License, the Initial
 
        Contributor hereby grants each Recipient a world-wide,
 
        royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
 

	
 
            (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
 
            display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the
 
            Initial Work; and
 

	
 
            (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform,
 
            distribute, and sublicense any derivative works (if any)
 
            prepared by Recipient;
 

	
 
        in Source Code and Executable form, either with other
 
        Modifications, on an unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger
 
        Work.
 

	
 
        (b) Subject to the terms of this License, each Subsequent
 
        Contributor hereby grants each Recipient a world-wide,
 
        royalty-free, non-exclusive copyright license to:
 

	
 
            (i) reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
 
            display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the
 
            Subsequent Work of such Subsequent Contributor; and
 

	
 
            (ii) reproduce, publicly display, publicly perform,
 
            distribute, and sublicense any derivative works (if any)
 
            prepared by Recipient;
 

	
 
        in Source Code and Executable form, either with other
 
        Modifications, on an unmodified basis, or as part of a Larger
 
        Work.
 

	
 
    2.2. PATENT LICENSE FROM INITIAL AND SUBSEQUENT CONTRIBUTORS.
 

	
 
        (a) This License does not include or grant any patent license
 
        whatsoever from the Initial Contributor, Subsequent
 
        Contributor, or any Distributor unless, at the time the Initial
 
        Work is first distributed or made available under this License
 
        (as the case may be), the Initial Contributor has selected
 
        pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs
 
        A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A. If this is not done
 
        then the Initial Work and any other Subsequent Work is made
 
        available under the License without any patent license (the
 
        "PATENTS-EXCLUDED LICENSE").
 

	
 
        (b) However, the Initial Contributor may subsequently
 
        distribute or make available (as the case may be) future copies
 
        of: (1) the Initial Work; or (2) any Licensed Work distributed
 
        by the Initial Contributor which includes the Initial Work (or
 
        any portion thereof) and/or any Modification made by the
 
        Initial Contributor; available under a License which includes a
 
        patent license (the "PATENTS-INCLUDED LICENSE") by selecting
 
        pursuant to Part 6 of Exhibit A the patent terms in paragraphs
 
        A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A, when the Initial
 
        Contributor distributes or makes available (as the case may be)
 
        such future copies under this License.
 

	
 
        (c) If any Recipient receives or obtains one or more copies of
 
        the Initial Work or any other portion of the Licensed Work
 
        under the Patents-Included License, then all licensing of such
 
        copies under this License shall include the terms in paragraphs
 
        A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of Exhibit A and that Recipient
 
        shall not be able to rely upon the Patents-Excluded License for
 
        any such copies. However, all Recipients that receive one or
 
        more copies of the Initial Work or any other portion of the
 
        Licensed Work under a copy of the License which includes the
 
        Patents-Excluded License shall have no patent license with
 
        respect to such copies received under the Patents-Excluded
 
        License and availability and distribution of such copies,
 
        including Modifications made by such Recipient to such copies,
 
        shall be under a copy of the License without any patent
 
        license.
 

	
 
        (d) Where a Recipient uses in combination or combines any copy
 
        of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy
 
        of the License having a Patents-Excluded License with any copy
 
        of the Licensed Work (or portion thereof) licensed under a copy
 
        of the License having a Patents-Included License, the
 
        combination (and any portion thereof) shall, from the first
 
        time such Recipient uses, makes available or distributes the
 
        combination (as the case may be), be subject to only the terms
 
        of the License having the Patents-Included License which shall
 
        include the terms in paragraphs A, B, C, D and E from Part 6 of
 
        Exhibit A.
 

	
 
    2.3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DISCLAIMER.
 

	
 
    Recipient understands and agrees that although Initial Contributor
 
    and each Subsequent Contributor grants the licenses to its
 
    Contributions set forth herein, no representation, warranty,
 
    guarantee or assurance is provided by any Initial Contributor,
 
    Subsequent Contributor, or Distributor that the Licensed Work does
 
    not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of
 
    any other entity. Initial Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, and
 
    each Distributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
 
    brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
 
    property rights or otherwise, in relation to the Licensed Works. As
 
    a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted
 
    hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to
 
    secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
 
    example, without limiting the foregoing disclaimers, if a third
 
    party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute
 
    the Licensed Work, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that
 
    license before distributing the Licensed Work.
 

	
 
    2.4. RESERVATION.
 

	
 
    Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to
 
    trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other
 
    intellectual property of Initial Contributor, Subsequent
 
    Contributor, or Distributor except as expressly stated herein.
 

	
 
3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS.
 

	
 
    3.1. DISTRIBUTION GENERALLY.
 

	
 
        (a) A Subsequent Contributor shall make that Subsequent
 
        Contributor's Subsequent Work(s) available to the public via an
 
        Electronic Distribution Mechanism for a period of at least
 
        twelve (12) months. The aforesaid twelve (12) month period
 
        shall begin within a reasonable time after the creation of the
 
        Subsequent Work and no later than sixty (60) days after first
 
        distribution of that Subsequent Contributor's Subsequent Work.
 

	
 
        (b) All Distributors must distribute the Licensed Work in
 
        accordance with the terms of the License, and must include a
 
        copy of this License (including without limitation Exhibit A
 
        and the accompanying Supplement File) with each copy of the
 
        Licensed Work distributed. In particular, this License must be
 
        prominently distributed with the Licensed Work in a file called
 
        "license.txt." In addition, the License Notice in Part 5 of
 
        Exhibit A must be included at the beginning of all Source Code
 
        files, and viewable to a user in any executable such that the
 
        License Notice is reasonably brought to the attention of any
 
        party using the Licensed Work.
 

	
 
    3.2. EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTIONS OF THE LICENSED WORK.
 

	
 
    A Distributor may choose to distribute the Licensed Work, or any
 
    portion thereof, in Executable form (an "EXECUTABLE DISTRIBUTION")
 
    to any third party, under the terms of Section 2 of this License,
 
    provided the Executable Distribution is made available under and
 
    accompanied by a copy of this License, AND provided at least ONE of
 
    the following conditions is fulfilled:
 

	
 
        (a) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied by the
 
        Source Code for the Licensed Work making up the Executable
 
        Distribution, and the Source Code must be distributed on the
 
        same media as the Executable Distribution or using an
 
        Electronic Distribution Mechanism; or
 

	
 
        (b) The Executable Distribution must be accompanied with a
 
        written offer, valid for at least thirty six (36) months, to
 
        give any third party under the terms of this License, for a
 
        charge no more than the cost of physically performing source
 
        distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the Source
 
        Code for the Licensed Work making up the Executable
 
        Distribution, to be available and distributed using an
 
        Electronic Distribution Mechanism, and such Executable
 
        Distribution must remain available in Source Code form to any
 
        third party via the Electronic Distribution Mechanism (or any
 
        replacement Electronic Distribution Mechanism the particular
 
        Distributor may reasonably need to turn to as a substitute) for
 
        said at least thirty six (36) months.
 

	
 
    For greater certainty, the above-noted requirements apply to any
 
    Licensed Work or portion thereof distributed to any third party in
 
    Executable form, whether such distribution is made alone, in
 
    combination with a Larger Work or Independent Modules, or in some
 
    other combination.
 

	
 
    3.3. SOURCE CODE DISTRIBUTIONS.
 

	
 
    When a Distributor makes the Licensed Work, or any portion thereof,
 
    available to any Person in Source Code form, it must be made
 
    available under this License and a copy of this License must be
 
    included with each copy of the Source Code, situated so that the
 
    copy of the License is conspicuously brought to the attention of
 
    that Person. For greater clarification, this Section 3.3 applies to
 
    all distribution of the Licensed Work in any Source Code form. A
 
    Distributor may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
 
    copy, which charge shall be no more than the cost of physically
 
    performing source distribution.
 

	
 
    3.4. REQUIRED NOTICES IN SOURCE CODE.
 

	
 
    Each Subsequent Contributor must ensure that the notice set out in
 
    Part 5 of Exhibit A is included in each file of the Source Code for
 
    each Subsequent Work originating from that particular Subsequent
 
    Contributor, if such notice is not already included in each such
 
    file. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular
 
    Source Code file due to its structure, then the Subsequent
 
    Contributor must include such notice in a location (such as a
 
    relevant directory in which the file is stored) where a user would
 
    be likely to look for such a notice.
 

	
 
    3.5. NO DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNALLY USED
 
    MODIFICATIONS.
 

	
 
    Notwithstanding Sections 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, Recipient may,
 
    internally within its own corporation or organization use the
 
    Licensed Work, including the Initial Work and Subsequent Works, and
 
    make Modifications for internal use within Recipient's own
 
    corporation or organization (collectively, "INTERNAL USE
 
    MODIFICATIONS"). The Recipient shall have no obligation to
 
    distribute, in either Source Code or Executable form, any such
 
    Internal Use Modifications made by Recipient in the course of such
 
    internal use, except where required below in this Section 3.5. All
 
    Internal Use Modifications distributed to any Person, whether or
 
    not a Third Party, shall be distributed pursuant to and be
 
    accompanied by the terms of this License. If the Recipient chooses
 
    to distribute any such Internal Use Modifications to any Third
 
    Party, then the Recipient shall be deemed a Subsequent Contributor,
 
    and any such Internal Use Modifications distributed to any Third
 
    Party shall be deemed a Subsequent Work originating from that
 
    Subsequent Contributor, and shall from the first such instance
 
    become part of the Licensed Work that must thereafter be
 
    distributed and made available to third parties in accordance with
 
    the terms of Sections 3.1 to 3.4 inclusive.
 

	
 
    3.6. INDEPENDENT MODULES.
 

	
 
    This License shall not apply to Independent Modules of any Initial
 
    Contributor, Subsequent Contributor, Distributor or any Recipient,
 
    and such Independent Modules may be licensed or made available
 
    under one or more separate license agreements.
 

	
 
    3.7. LARGER WORKS.
 

	
 
    Any Distributor or Recipient may create or contribute to a Larger
 
    Work by combining any of the Licensed Work with other code not
 
    governed by the terms of this License, and may distribute the
 
    Larger Work as one or more products. However, in any such case,
 
    Distributor or Recipient (as the case may be) must make sure that
 
    the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Licensed
 
    Work portion of the Larger Work.
 

	
 
    3.8. DESCRIPTION OF DISTRIBUTED MODIFICATIONS.
 

	
 
        (a) Each Subsequent Contributor (including the Initial
 
        Contributor where the Initial Contributor also qualifies as a
 
        Subsequent Contributor) must cause each Subsequent Work created
 
        or contributed to by that Subsequent Contributor to contain a
 
        file documenting the changes, in accordance with the
 
        requirements of Part 1 of the Supplement File, that such
 
        Subsequent Contributor made in the creation or contribution to
 
        that Subsequent Work. If no Supplement File exists or no
 
        requirements are set out in Part 1 of the Supplement File, then
 
        there are no requirements for Subsequent Contributors to
 
        document changes that they make resulting in Subsequent Works.
 

	
 
        (b) The Initial Contributor may at any time introduce
 
        requirements or add to or change earlier requirements (in each
 
        case, the "EARLIER DESCRIPTION REQUIREMENTS") for documenting
 
        changes resulting in Subsequent Works by revising Part 1 of
 
        each copy of the Supplement File distributed by the Initial
 
        Contributor with future copies of the Licensed Work so that
 
        Part 1 then contains new requirements (the "NEW DESCRIPTION
 
        REQUIREMENTS") for documenting such changes.
 

	
 
        (c) Any Recipient receiving at any time any copy of an Initial
 
        Work or any Subsequent Work under a copy of this License (in
 
        each case, an "Earlier LICENSED COPY") having the Earlier
 
        Description Requirements may choose, with respect to each such
 
        Earlier Licensed Copy, to comply with the Earlier Description
 
        Requirements or the New Description Requirements. Where a
 
        Recipient chooses to comply with the New Description
 
        Requirements, that Recipient will, when thereafter distributing
 
        any copies of any such Earlier Licensed Copy, include a
 
        Supplement File having a section entitled Part 1 that contains
 
        a copy of the New Description Requirements.
 

	
 
        (d) For greater certainty, the intent of Part 1 of the
 
        Supplement File is to provide a mechanism (if any) by which
 
        Subsequent Contributors must document changes that they make to
 
        the Licensed Work resulting in Subsequent Works. Part 1 of any
 
        Supplement File shall not be used to increase or reduce the
 
        scope of the license granted in Article 2 of this License or in
 
        any other way increase or decrease the rights and obligations
 
        of any Recipient, and shall at no time serve as the basis for
 
        terminating the License. Further, a Recipient can be required
 
        to correct and change its documentation procedures to comply
 
        with Part 1 of the Supplement File, but cannot be penalised
 
        with damages. Part 1 of any Supplement File is only binding on
 
        each Recipient of any Licensed Work to the extent Part 1 sets
 
        out the requirements for documenting changes to the Initial
 
        Work or any Subsequent Work.
 

	
 
        (e) An example of a set of requirements for documenting changes
 
        and contributions made by Subsequent Contributor is set out in
 
        Part 7 of Exhibit A of this License. Part 7 is a sample only
 
        and is not binding on Recipients, unless (subject to the
 
        earlier paragraphs of this Section 3.8) those are the
 
        requirements that the Initial Contributor includes in Part 1 of
 
        the Supplement File with the copies of the Initial Work
 
        distributed under this License.
 

	
 
    3.9. USE OF DISTRIBUTOR NAME.
 

	
 
    The name of a Distributor may not be used by any other Distributor
 
    to endorse or promote the Licensed Work or products derived from
 
    the Licensed Work, without prior written permission.
 

	
 
    3.10. LIMITED RECOGNITION OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR.
 

	
 
        (a) As a modest attribution to the Initial Contributor, in the
 
        hope that its promotional value may help justify the time,
 
        money and effort invested in writing the Initial Work, the
 
        Initial Contributor may include in Part 2 of the Supplement
 
        File a requirement that each time an executable program
 
        resulting from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, or a
 
        program dependent thereon, is launched or run, a prominent
 
        display of the Initial Contributor's attribution information
 
        must occur (the "ATTRIBUTION INFORMATION"). The Attribution
 
        Information must be included at the beginning of each Source
 
        Code file. For greater certainty, the Initial Contributor may
 
        specify in the Supplement File that the above attribution
 
        requirement only applies to an executable program resulting
 
        from the Initial Work or any Subsequent Work, but not a program
 
        dependent thereon. The intent is to provide for reasonably
 
        modest attribution, therefore the Initial Contributor may not
 
        require Recipients to display, at any time, more than the
 
        following Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice
 
        including the name of the Initial Contributor; (b) a word or
 
        one phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one digital image or

        (collectively, the "ATTRIBUTION LIMITS").
 

	
 
        (b) If no Supplement File exists, or no Attribution Information
 
        is set out in Part 2 of the Supplement File, then there are no
 
        requirements for Recipients to display any Attribution
 
        Information of the Initial Contributor.
 

	
 
        (c) Each Recipient acknowledges that all trademarks, service
 
        marks and/or trade names contained within Part 2 of the
 
        Supplement File distributed with the Licensed Work are the
 
        exclusive property of the Initial Contributor and may only be
 
        used with the permission of the Initial Contributor, or under
 
        circumstances otherwise permitted by law, or as expressly set
 
        out in this License.
 

	
 
    3.11. For greater certainty, any description or attribution
 
    provisions contained within a Supplement File may only be used to
 
    specify the nature of the description or attribution requirements,
 
    as the case may be. Any provision in a Supplement File that
 
    otherwise purports to modify, vary, nullify or amend any right,
 
    obligation or representation contained herein shall be deemed void
 
    to that extent, and shall be of no force or effect.
 

	
 
4. COMMERCIAL USE AND INDEMNITY.
 

	
 
    4.1. COMMERCIAL SERVICES.
 

	
 
    A Recipient ("COMMERCIAL RECIPIENT") may choose to offer, and to
 
    charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
 
    obligations (collectively, "SERVICES") to one or more other
 
    Recipients or Distributors. However, such Commercial Recipient may
 
    do so only on that Commercial Recipient's own behalf, and not on
 
    behalf of any other Distributor or Recipient, and Commercial
 
    Recipient must make it clear than any such warranty, support,
 
    indemnity or liability obligation(s) is/are offered by Commercial
 
    Recipient alone. At no time may Commercial Recipient use any
 
    Services to deny any party the Licensed Work in Source Code or
 
    Executable form when so required under any of the other terms of
 
    this License. For greater certainty, this Section 4.1 does not
 
    diminish any of the other terms of this License, including without
 
    limitation the obligation of the Commercial Recipient as a
 
    Distributor, when distributing any of the Licensed Work in Source
 
    Code or Executable form, to make such distribution royalty-free
 
    (subject to the right to charge a fee of no more than the cost of
 
    physically performing Source Code or Executable distribution (as
 
    the case may be)).
 

	
 
    4.2. INDEMNITY.
 

	
 
    Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
 
    responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and
 
    the like. While this License is intended to facilitate the
 
    commercial use of the Licensed Work, the Distributor who includes
 
    any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering should do
 
    so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other
 
    Distributors. Therefore, if a Distributor includes the Licensed
 
    Work in a commercial product offering or offers any Services, such
 
    Distributor ("COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTOR") hereby agrees to defend and
 
    indemnify every other Distributor or Subsequent Contributor (in
 
    each case an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") against any losses, damages and
 
    costs (collectively "LOSSES") arising from claims, lawsuits and
 
    other legal actions brought by a third party against the
 
    Indemnified Party to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of
 
    such Commercial Distributor in connection with its distribution of
 
    any of the Licensed Work in a commercial product offering or in
 
    connection with any Services. The obligations in this section do
 
    not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged
 
    intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an
 
    Indemnified Party must: (a) promptly notify the Commercial
 
    Distributor in writing of such claim; and (b) allow the Commercial
 
    Distributor to control, and co-operate with the Commercial
 
    Distributor in, the defense and any related settlement
 
    negotiations. The Indemnified Party may participate in any such
 
    claim at its own expense.
 

	
 
5. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE.
 

	
 
    5.1. NEW VERSIONS.
 

	
 
    The Initial Contributor may publish revised and/or new versions of
 
    the License from time to time. Each version will be given a
 
    distinguishing version number.
 

	
 
    5.2. EFFECT OF NEW VERSIONS.
 

	
 
    Once the Licensed Work or any portion thereof has been published by
 
    Initial Contributor under a particular version of the License,
 
    Recipient may choose to continue to use it under the terms of that
 
    version. However, if a Recipient chooses to use the Licensed Work
 
    under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published
 
    by the Initial Contributor, then from the date of making this
 
    choice, the Recipient must comply with the terms of that subsequent
 
    version with respect to all further reproduction, preparation of
 
    derivative works, public display of, public performance of,
 
    distribution and sublicensing by the Recipient in connection with
 
    the Licensed Work. No one other than the Initial Contributor has
 
    the right to modify the terms applicable to the Licensed Work
 

	
 
6. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
 

	
 
    6.1. GENERAL DISCLAIMER.
 

	
 
    EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS LICENSE, THE LICENSED WORK IS

    KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
 
    WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
 
    MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
 
    RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED WORK IS WITH
 
    RECIPIENT. SHOULD ANY LICENSED WORK PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
 
    RECIPIENT (NOT THE INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR OR ANY SUBSEQUENT
 
    CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUMES THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
 
    CORRECTION. THIS CLAUSE CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS
 
    LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY LICENSED WORK IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT
 
    UNDER THIS LICENSE INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THIS DISCLAIMER.
 

	
 
    6.2. RESPONSIBILITY OF RECIPIENTS.
 

	
 
    Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the
 
    appropriateness of using and distributing the Licensed Work and
 
    assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this
 
    License, including but not limited to the risks and costs of
 
    program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss
 
    of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption

    7.3. This License, including without limitation the rights granted
 
    hereunder to a particular Recipient, will terminate automatically
 
    if such Recipient is in material breach of any of the terms of this
 
    License and fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days of
 
    becoming aware of the breach. Without limiting the foregoing, any
 
    material breach by such Recipient of any term of any other License
 
    under which such Recipient is granted any rights to the Licensed
 
    Work shall constitute a material breach of this License.
 

	
 
    7.4. Upon termination of this License by or with respect to a
 
    particular Recipient for any reason, all rights granted hereunder
 
    and under any other License to that Recipient shall terminate.
 
    However, all sublicenses to the Licensed Work which were previously
 
    properly granted by such Recipient under a copy of this License (in
 
    each case, an "Other License" and in plural, "Other Licenses")
 
    shall survive any such termination of this License, including
 
    without limitation the rights and obligations under such Other
 
    Licenses as set out in their respective Sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
 
    and 8, mutatis mutandis, for so long as the respective sublicensees
 
    (i.e. other Recipients) remain in compliance with the terms of the
 
    copy of this License under which such sublicensees received rights
 
    to the Licensed Work. Any termination of such Other Licenses shall
 
    be pursuant to their respective Section 7, mutatis mutandis.
 
    Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
 
    termination of this License shall survive.
 

	
 
    7.5. Upon any termination of this License by or with respect to a
 
    particular Recipient, Sections 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2, 7.4, 7.5, 8.1,
 
    and 8.2, together with all provisions of this License necessary for
 
    the interpretation and enforcement of same, shall expressly survive
 
    such termination.
 

	
 
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
 

	
 
    8.1. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY OF INITIAL CONTRIBUTOR, ITS
 
    SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES, OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE
 
    OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND/OR AGENTS (AS THE CASE MAY BE),
 
    HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT DAMAGES, INDIRECT DAMAGES,

    OTHER LOSS ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THE USE,
 
    INABILITY TO USE, UNAUTHORIZED USE, PERFORMANCE, OR NON-PERFORMANCE
 
    OF THE LICENSED WORK OR ANY PART THEREOF OR THE PROVISION OF OR

    ANY WAY OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE
 
    LICENSED WORK OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN
 
    IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
 
    LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY

    THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 8.1.

    9.1. This License shall be governed by and construed in accordance
 
    with the laws of the Governing Jurisdiction assigned in Part 3 of
 
    Exhibit A, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. No
 
    party may bring a legal action under this License more than one
 
    year after the cause of the action arose. Each party waives its
 
    rights (if any) to a jury trial in any litigation arising under
 
    this License. Note that if the Governing Jurisdiction is not
 
    assigned in Part 3 of Exhibit A, then the Governing Jurisdiction
 
    shall be the State of New York.
 

	
 
    9.2. The courts of the Governing Jurisdiction shall have
 
    jurisdiction, but not exclusive jurisdiction, to entertain and
 
    determine all disputes and claims, whether for specific
 
    performance, injunction, damages or otherwise, both at law and in
 
    equity, arising out of or in any way relating to this License,
 
    including without limitation, the legality, validity, existence and
 
    enforceability of this License. Each party to this License hereby
 
    irrevocably attorns to and accepts the jurisdiction of the courts
 
    of the Governing Jurisdiction for such purposes.
 

	
 
    9.3. Except as expressly set forth elsewhere herein, in the event
 
    of any action or proceeding brought by any party against another
 
    under this License the prevailing party shall be entitled to

    in such action or proceeding in such amount as the court may
 
    adjudge reasonable.
 

	
 
10. MISCELLANEOUS.
 

	
 
    10.1. The obligations imposed by this License are for the benefit
 
    of the Initial Contributor and any Recipient, and each Recipient

    other Recipient may enforce the terms and conditions of this
 
    License against any Recipient.
 

	
 
    10.2. This License represents the complete agreement concerning
 
    subject matter hereof, and supersedes and cancels all previous oral
 
    and written communications, representations, agreements and
 
    understandings between the parties with respect to the subject
 
    matter hereof.
 

	
 
    10.3. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
 
    for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
 

	
 
    10.4. The language in all parts of this License shall be in all
 
    cases construed simply according to its fair meaning, and not
 
    strictly for or against any of the parties hereto. Any law or
 
    regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
 
    construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
 

	
 
    10.5. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
 
    under the laws of the Governing Jurisdiction, it shall not affect
 
    the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of
 
    this License, and without further action by the parties hereto,
 
    such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to
 
    make such provision valid and enforceable.
 

	
 
    10.6. The paragraph headings of this License are for reference and
 
    convenience only and are not a part of this License, and they shall
 
    have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of any part
 
    hereof.
 

	
 
    10.7. Each of the terms "including", "include" and "includes", when
 
    used in this License, is not limiting whether or not non-limiting
 
    language (such as "without limitation" or "but not limited to" or
 
    words of similar import) is used with reference thereto.
 

	
 
    10.8. The parties hereto acknowledge they have expressly required
 
    that this License and notices relating thereto be drafted in the
 
    English language.

        patent license is granted under this Paragraph D by such
 
        Distributor: (1) for any code that such Distributor deletes
 
        from the Distributor Version (or any portion thereof)
 
        distributed by the Distributor prior to such distribution; (2)
 
        for any Modifications made to the Distributor Version (or any

        E. If Recipient institutes patent litigation against another
 
        Recipient (a "USER") with respect to a patent applicable to a
 
        computer program or software (including a cross-claim or
 
        counterclaim in a lawsuit, and whether or not any of the patent
 
        claims are directed to a system, method, process, apparatus,
 
        device, product, article of manufacture or any other form of
 
        patent claim), then any patent or copyright license granted by
 
        that User to such Recipient under this License or any other
 
        copy of this License shall terminate. The termination shall be
 
        effective ninety (90) days after notice of termination from
 
        User to Recipient, unless the Recipient withdraws the patent
 
        litigation claim before the end of the ninety (90) day period.
 
        To be effective, any such notice of license termination must
 
        include a specific list of applicable patents and/or a copy of
 
        the copyrighted work of User that User alleges will be
 
        infringed by Recipient upon License termination. License
 
        termination is only effective with respect to patents and/or
 
        copyrights for which proper notice has been given.
