Server Side Public License | |
VERSION 1, OCTOBER 16, 2018 | |
Copyright © 2018 MongoDB, Inc. | |
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this | |
license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
0. Definitions. | |
“This License” refers to Server Side Public License. | |
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | |
works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and | |
“recipients” may be individuals or organizations. | |
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in | |
a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | |
exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the | |
earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work. | |
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on | |
the Program. | |
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a | |
computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | |
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the | |
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that | |
(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that | |
there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties | |
are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and | |
how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of | |
user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list | |
meets this criterion. | |
1. Source Code. | |
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a | |
work. | |
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official | |
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is | |
widely used among developers working in that language. The “System | |
Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as | |
a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major | |
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves | |
only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement | |
a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the | |
public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a | |
major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the | |
specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or | |
a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used | |
to run it. | |
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the | |
source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run | |
the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control | |
those activities. However, it does not include the work's System | |
Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs | |
which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are | |
not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes | |
interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and | |
the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms | |
that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate | |
data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other | |
parts of the work. | |
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | |
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | |
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. | |
2. Basic Permissions. | |
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
permission to run the unmodified Program, subject to section 13. The | |
output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the | |
output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License | |
acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by | |
copyright law. Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate | |
covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your | |
license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to | |
others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively | |
for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided | |
that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all | |
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or | |
running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your | |
behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them | |
from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their | |
relationship with you. | |
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | |
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it | |
unnecessary. | |
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 | |
of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws | |
prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures. | |
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is | |
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the | |
covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | |
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, | |
your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | |
technological measures. | |
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep | |
intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms | |
added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices | |
of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this | |
License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for | |
each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty | |
protection for a fee. | |
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms | |
of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, | |
and giving a relevant date. | |
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released | |
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This | |
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all | |
notices”. | |
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to | |
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore | |
apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the | |
whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are | |
packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any | |
other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have | |
separately received it. | |
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work | |
need not make them do so. | |
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and | |
which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on | |
a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if | |
the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the | |
access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the | |
individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does | |
not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. | |
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of | |
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable | |
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these | |
ways: | |
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily | |
used for software interchange. | |
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written | |
offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you | |
offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give | |
anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the | |
Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is | |
covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used | |
for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost | |
of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to | |
copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | |
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is | |
allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received | |
the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. | |
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place | |
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy | |
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on | |
a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports | |
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions | |
next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. | |
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain | |
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to | |
satisfy these requirements. | |
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you | |
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of | |
the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under | |
subsection 6d. | |
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included | |
in conveying the object code work. | |
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any | |
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | |
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | |
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | |
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | |
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a | |
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | |
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | |
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | |
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | |
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | |
the only significant mode of use of the product. | |
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, | |
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | |
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | |
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | |
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | |
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | |
modification has been made. | |
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part | |
of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User | |
Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term | |
(regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding | |
Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the | |
Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither | |
you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object | |
code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in | |
ROM). | |
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | |
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | |
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access | |
to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially | |
and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the | |
rules and protocols for communication across the network. | |
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in | |
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented | |
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), | |
and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or | |
copying. | |
7. Additional Terms. | |
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be | |
treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that | |
they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only | |
to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those | |
permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License | |
without regard to the additional permissions. When you convey a copy of | |
a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions | |
from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be | |
written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the | |
work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to | |
a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright | |
permission. | |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add | |
to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | |
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | |
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | |
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | |
Notices displayed by works containing it; or | |
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
authors of the material; or | |
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade | |
names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material | |
by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with | |
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any | |
liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those | |
licensors and authors. | |
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further | |
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, | |
you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further | |
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you | |
may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license | |
document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such | |
relicensing or conveying. | |
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must | |
place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms | |
that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the | |
applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be | |
stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as | |
exceptions; the above requirements apply either way. | |
8. Termination. | |
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify | |
it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this | |
License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph | |
of section 11). | |
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | |
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | |
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates | |
your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to | |
notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days | |
after the cessation. | |
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated | |
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some | |
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of | |
violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and | |
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. | |
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
material under section 10. | |
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a | |
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring | |
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a | |
copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than | |
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered | |
work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. | |
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your | |
acceptance of this License to do so. | |
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives | |
a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that | |
work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing | |
compliance by third parties with this License. | |
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an | |
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work | |
results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who | |
receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work | |
the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous | |
paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the | |
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can | |
get it with reasonable efforts. | |
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights | |
granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a | |
license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted | |
under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a | |
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim | |
is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing | |
the Program or any portion of it. | |
11. Patents. | |
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work | |
thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”. | |
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or | |
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter | |
acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this | |
License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not | |
include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further | |
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, | |
“control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner | |
consistent with the requirements of this License. | |
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, | |
use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate | |
the contents of its contributor version. | |
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express | |
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party | |
means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent | |
against the party. | |
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and | |
the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, | |
free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly | |
available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must | |
either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) | |
arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this | |
particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the | |
requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream | |
recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but | |
for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or | |
your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe | |
one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason | |
to believe are valid. | |
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving | |
the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a | |
specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is | |
automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works | |
based on it. | |
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the | |
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on | |
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically | |
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are | |
a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of | |
distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party | |
based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under | |
which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the | |
covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection | |
with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from | |
those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific | |
products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you | |
entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior | |
to 28 March 2007. | |
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any | |
implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be | |
available to you under applicable patent law. | |
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use, | |
propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your | |
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then | |
as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For | |
example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for | |
further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way | |
you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain | |
entirely from conveying the Program. | |
13. Offering the Program as a Service. | |
If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version | |
available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source | |
Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the | |
terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or | |
modified version available to third parties as a service includes, | |
without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the | |
functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a | |
computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or | |
primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or | |
offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the | |
Program or modified version. | |
“Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or | |
the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that | |
you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, | |
including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, | |
application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, | |
backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a | |
user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code | |
you make available. | |
14. Revised Versions of this License. | |
MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server Side | |
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in | |
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new | |
problems or concerns. | |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
specifies that a certain numbered version of the Server Side Public | |
License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of | |
following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of | |
any later version published by MongoDB, Inc. If the Program does not | |
specify a version number of the Server Side Public License, you may | |
choose any version ever published by MongoDB, Inc. | |
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of | |
the Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement | |
of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that | |
version for the Program. | |
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. | |
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder | |
as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. | |
15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS | |
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY | |
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | |
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | |
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
16. Limitation of Liability. | |
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | |
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING | |
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF | |
THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO | |
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU | |
OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | |
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | |
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above | |
cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing | |
courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute | |
waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a | |
warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in | |
return for a fee. | |
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
