| MOTOSOTO OPEN SOURCE LICENSE - Version 0.9.1 |
| This Motosoto Open Source License (the "License") applies to "Community |
| Portal Server" and related software products as well as any updatesor |
| maintenance releases of that software ("Motosoto Products") that are |
| distributed by Motosoto.Com B.V. ("Licensor"). Any Motosoto |
| Product licensed pursuant to this License is a "Licensed Product." Licensed |
| Product, in its entirety, is protected by Dutch copyright law. |
| This |
| License identifies the terms under which you may use, copy, distribute or modify |
| Licensed Product and has been submitted to the Open Software Initiative (OSI) |
| for approval. |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| This Preamble is intended to describe, in plain English, the nature and scope of |
| this License. However, this Preamble is not a part of this license. The legal |
| effect of this License is dependent only upon the terms of the License and not |
| this Preamble. |
| This License complies with the Open Source Definition and has been approved by |
| Open Source Initiative. Software distributed under this License may be marked |
| as "OSI Certified Open Source Software." |
| |
| This License provides that: |
| |
| 1. You may use, sell or give away the Licensed Product, alone or as a |
| component of an aggregate software distribution containing |
| programs from several different sources. No royalty or other fee is |
| required. |
| |
| 2. Both Source Code and executable versions of the Licensed Product, |
| including Modifications made by previous Contributors, are |
| available for your use. (The terms "Licensed Product," "Modifications," |
| "Contributors" and "Source Code" are defined in the License.) |
| |
| 3. You are allowed to make Modifications to the Licensed Product, and you |
| can create Derivative Works from it. (The term "Derivative |
| Works" is defined in the License.) |
| |
| 4. By accepting the Licensed Product under the provisions of this License, |
| you agree that any Modifications you make to the Licensed |
| Product and then distribute are governed by the provisions of this |
| License. In particular, you must make the Source Code of your |
| Modifications available to others. |
| |
| 5. You may use the Licensed Product for any purpose, but the Licensor is |
| not providing you any warranty whatsoever, nor is the Licensor |
| accepting any liability in the event that the Licensed Product doesn`t |
| work properly or causes you any injury or damages. |
| |
| 6. If you sublicense the Licensed Product or Derivative Works, you may |
| charge fees for warranty or support, or for accepting indemnity |
| or liability obligations to your customers. You cannot charge for the |
| Source Code. |
| |
| 7. If you assert any patent claims against the Licensor relating to the |
| Licensed Product, or if you breach any terms of the License, your |
| rights to the Licensed Product under this License automatically |
| terminate. |
| |
| You may use this License to distribute your own Derivative Works, in which |
| case the provisions of this License will apply to your Derivative |
| Works just as they do to the original Licensed Product. |
| |
| Alternatively, you may distribute your Derivative Works under any other |
| OSI-approved Open Source license, or under a proprietary license of |
| your choice. If you use any license other than this License, however, you must |
| continue to fulfill the requirements of this License (including the |
| provisions relating to publishing the Source Code) for those portions of your |
| Derivative Works that consist of the Licensed Product, including |
| the files containing Modifications. |
| |
| New versions of this License may be published from time to time. You may |
| choose to continue to use the license terms in this version of the |
| License or those from the new version. However, only the Licensor has the right |
| to change the License terms as they apply to the Licensed |
| Product. |
| This License relies on precise definitions for certain terms. Those terms are |
| defined when they are first used, and the definitions are repeated for |
| your convenience in a Glossary at the end of the License. |
| |
| License Terms |
| |
| 1. Grant of License From Licensor. |
| |
| Licensor |
| hereby grants you a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to |
| third |
| party intellectual property claims, to do the following: |
| |
| a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and |
| distribute Licensed Product or portions thereof (including |
| Modifications as hereinafter defined), in both Source Code or as |
| an executable program. "Source Code" means the preferred |
| form for making modifications to the Licensed Product, including |
| all modules contained therein, plus any associated |
| interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation |
| and installation of an executable program, or a list of |
| differential comparisons against the Source Code of the Licensed |
| Product. |
| |
| b. Create Derivative Works (as that term is defined under Dutch |
| copyright law) of Licensed Product by adding to or deleting |
| from the substance or structure of said Licensed Product. |
| |
| c. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled |
| by Licensor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, |
| and/or otherwise dispose of Licensed Product or portions thereof, |
| but solely to the extent that any such claim is necessary to |
| enable you to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or |
| otherwise dispose of Licensed Product or portions thereof or |
| Derivative Works thereof. |
| |
| 2. Grant of License to Modifications From |
| Contributor. |
| |
| "Modifications" means any additions to or |
| deletions from the substance or |
| structure of (i) a file containing Licensed Product, or (ii) any new file |
| that contains any part of Licensed Product. Hereinafter in this |
| License, the term "Licensed Product" shall include all previous |
| Modifications that you receive from any Contributor. By |
| application of the provisions in Section 4(a) below, each person or |
| entity who created or contributed to the creation of, and distributed, |
| a Modification (a "Contributor") hereby grants you a world-wide, |
| royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third party |
| intellectual property claims, to do the following: |
| |
| a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and |
| distribute any Modifications created by such Contributor or |
| portions thereof, in both Source Code or as an executable program, |
| either on an unmodified basis or as part of Derivative |
| Works. |
| |
| b. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by |
| Contributor, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, |
| and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof, but |
| solely to the extent that any such claim is necessary to |
| enable you to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or |
| otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof or |
| Derivative Works thereof. |
| |
| 3. Exclusions From License Grant. |
| |
| Nothing in |
| this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, |
| patents, |
| trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor or any |
| Contributor except as expressly stated herein. No patent license is |
| granted separate from the Licensed Product, for code that you delete from |
| the Licensed Product, or for combinations of the Licensed |
| Product with other software or hardware. No right is granted to the |
| trademarks of Licensor or any Contributor even if such marks are |
| included in the Licensed Product. Nothing in this License shall be |
| interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under different |
| terms from this License any code that Licensor otherwise would have a |
| right to license. |
| |
| 4. Your Obligations Regarding Distribution. |
| |
| a. Application of This License to Your |
| Modifications. As an express condition for your use of the Licensed |
| Product, you |
| hereby agree that any Modifications that you create or to which |
| you contribute, and which you distribute, are governed by the |
| terms of this License including, without limitation, Section 2. |
| Any Modifications that you create or to which you contribute |
| may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a |
| future version of this License released under Section 7. You must |
| include a copy of this License with every copy of the |
| Modifications you distribute. You agree not to offer or impose any |
| terms on any Source Code or executable version of the Licensed |
| Product or Modifications that alter or restrict 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 4(e). |
| |
| b. Availability of Source Code. You must make |
| available, under the terms of this License, the Source Code of the Licensed |
| Product and any Modifications that you distribute, either on the |
| same media as you distribute any executable or other form |
| of the Licensed Product, or via a mechanism generally accepted in |
| the software development community for the electronic |
| transfer of data (an "Electronic Distribution Mechanism"). The |
| Source Code for any version of Licensed Product or |
| Modifications that you distribute 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 said Licensed Product or Modifications has been made |
| available. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code |
| version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution |
| Mechanism is maintained by a third party. |
| |
| c. Description of Modifications. You must cause any |
| Modifications that you create or to which you contribute, and which |
| you distribute, to contain a file documenting the additions, |
| changes or deletions you made to create or contribute to those |
| Modifications, and the dates of any such additions, changes or |
| deletions. You must include a prominent statement that the |
| Modifications are derived, directly or indirectly, from the |
| Licensed Product and include the names of the Licensor and any |
| Contributor to the Licensed Product in (i) the Source Code and |
| (ii) in any notice displayed by a version of the Licensed |
| Product you distribute or in related documentation in which you |
| describe the origin or ownership of the Licensed Product. |
| You may not modify or delete any preexisting copyright notices in |
| the Licensed Product. |
| |
| d. Intellectual Property Matters. |
| |
| i. Third Party Claims. If you have |
| knowledge that a license to a third party`s intellectual property right is |
| required |
| to exercise the rights granted by this License, you must |
| include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled |
| "LEGAL" that describes the claim and the party making the |
| claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know |
| whom to contact. If you obtain such knowledge after you make |
| any Modifications available as described in Section |
| 4(b), you shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies |
| you make available thereafter and shall take other |
| steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or |
| newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who |
| received the Licensed Product from you that new knowledge |
| has been obtained. |
| |
| ii. Contributor APIs. If your |
| Modifications include an application programming interface ("API") and you have |
| knowledge of patent licenses that are reasonably necessary |
| to implement that API, you must also include this |
| information in the LEGAL file. |
| |
| iii. Representations. You represent that, |
| except as disclosed pursuant to 4(d)(i) above, you believe that any |
| Modifications you distribute are your original creations and |
| that you have sufficient rights to grant the rights |
| conveyed by this License. |
| |
| e. Required Notices. You must duplicate this |
| License in any documentation you provide along with the Source Code of any |
| Modifications you create or to which you contribute, and which you |
| distribute, wherever you describe recipients` rights |
| relating to Licensed Product. You must duplicate the notice |
| contained in Exhibit A (the "Notice") in each file of the Source |
| Code of any copy you distribute of the Licensed Product. If you |
| created a Modification, you may add your name as a |
| Contributor to the Notice. If it is not possible to put the 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 file) where a user would be likely to look for such a |
| notice. You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, warranty, |
| support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more |
| recipients of Licensed Product. However, you may do so only on |
| your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Licensor or any |
| Contributor. You must make it clear that any such warranty, |
| support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by you |
| alone, and you hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every |
| Contributor for any liability incurred by the Licensor or such |
| Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or |
| liability terms you offer. |
| |
| f. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may |
| distribute Licensed Product as an executable program under a license of |
| your choice that may contain terms different from this License |
| provided (i) you have satisfied the requirements of Sections |
| 4(a) through 4(e) for that distribution, (ii) you include a |
| conspicuous notice in the executable version, related documentation |
| and collateral materials stating that the Source Code version of |
| the Licensed Product is available under the terms of this |
| License, including a description of how and where you have |
| fulfilled the obligations of Section 4(b), (iii) you retain all |
| existing copyright notices in the Licensed Product, and (iv) you |
| make it clear that any terms that differ from this License are |
| offered by you alone, not by Licensor or any Contributor. You |
| hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every Contributor |
| for any liability incurred by Licensor or such Contributor as a |
| result of any terms you offer. |
| |
| g. Distribution of Derivative Works. You may |
| create Derivative Works (e.g., combinations of some or all of the Licensed |
| Product with other code) and distribute the Derivative Works as |
| products under any other license you select, with the |
| proviso that the requirements of this License are fulfilled for |
| those portions of the Derivative Works that consist of the |
| Licensed Product or any Modifications thereto. |
| |
| 5. 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 Licensed Product due to statute, judicial |
| order, or regulation, then you must (i) comply with the terms of |
| this License to the maximum extent possible, (ii) cite the statute or |
| regulation that prohibits you from adhering to the License, and |
| (iii) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description |
| must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 4(d), |
| 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 at computer programming to be able to understand it. |
| |
| 6. Application of This License. |
| |
| This License |
| applies to code to which Licensor or Contributor has attached the Notice in |
| Exhibit A, |
| which is incorporated herein by this reference. |
| |
| 7. Versions of This License. |
| |
| a. Version. The Motosoto Open Source License is |
| derived from the Jabber Open Source License. All changes are related to |
| applicable law and the location of court. |
| |
| b. New Versions. Licensor may publish from time to |
| time revised and/or new versions of the License. |
| |
| c. Effect of New Versions. Once Licensed Product |
| 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 Licensed Product under the terms of any |
| subsequent version of the License published by Licensor. No one |
| other than Lic ensor has the right to modify the terms |
| applicable to Licensed Product created under this License. |
| |
| d. Derivative Works of this License. If you |
| create or use a modified version of this License, which you may do only in |
| order to |
| apply it to software that is not already a Licensed Product under |
| this License, you must rename your license so that it is not |
| confusingly similar to this License, and must make it clear that |
| your license contains terms that differ from this License. In |
| so naming your license, you may not use any trademark of Licensor |
| or any Contributor. |
| |
| 8. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
| |
| LICENSED PRODUCT IS |
| PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT |
| WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT |
| LIMITATION, WARRANTIES |
| THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A |
| PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR |
| NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
| LICENSED PRODUCT IS |
| WITH YOU. SHOULD LICENSED PRODUCT PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU |
| (AND NOT THE LICENSOR 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 LICENSED |
| PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER. |
| |
| 9. Termination. |
| |
| a. Automatic Termination Upon Breach. This |
| license and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if you |
| fail to comply with the terms herein and fail to cure such breach |
| within thirty (30) days of becoming aware of the breach. |
| All sublicenses to the Licensed Product that are properly granted |
| shall survive any termination of this license. Provisions |
| that, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the |
| termination of this License, shall survive. |
| |
| b. Termination Upon Assertion of Patent |
| Infringement. If you initiate litigation by asserting a patent |
| infringement claim |
| (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Licensor or a |
| Contributor (Licensor or Contributor against whom you file |
| such an action is referred to herein as "Respondent") alleging |
| that Licensed Product directly or indirectly infringes any |
| patent, then any and all rights granted by such Respondent to you |
| under Sections 1 or 2 of this License shall terminate |
| prospectively upon sixty (60) days notice from Respondent (the |
| "Notice Period") unless within that Notice Period you |
| either agree in writing (i) to pay Respondent a mutually agreeable |
| reasonably royalty for your past or future use of Licensed |
| Product made by such Respondent, or (ii) withdraw your litigation |
| claim with respect to Licensed Product against such |
| Respondent. If within said Notice Period 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 Licensor to you under Sections 1 and 2 |
| automatically terminate at the expiration of said Notice |
| Period. |
| |
| c. Reasonable Value of This License. If you assert a |
| patent infringement claim against Respondent alleging that Licensed |
| Product 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 said Respondent under |
| Sections 1 and 2 shall be taken into account in determining the |
| amount or value of any payment or license. |
| |
| d. No Retroactive Effect of Termination. In the |
| event of termination under Sections 9(a) or 9(b) above, all end user license |
| agreements (excluding licenses to distributors and reselle rs) |
| that have been validly granted by you or any distributor |
| hereunder prior to termination shall survive |
| termination. |
| |
| 10. Limitation of Liability. |
| |
| UNDER NO |
| CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT |
| (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE LICENSOR, ANY |
| CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY |
| DISTRIBUTOR OF LICENSED PRODUCT, 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 |
| |
