2 Release date: 2013-05-16
3
41. License Grants; No Trademark License
5
6 Subject to the terms of this License, I grant You:
7
8 a) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable
9 copyright license, to reproduce, Distribute, prepare derivative works
10 of, publicly perform and publicly display My Work.
11
12 b) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable
13 patent license under Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell,
14 offer for sale, and import Covered Works.
15
16 This License does not grant any rights in My name, trademarks, service
17 marks, or logos.
18
192. Distribution: General Conditions
20
21 You may Distribute Covered Works, provided that You (i) inform
22 recipients how they can obtain a copy of this License; (ii) satisfy the
23 applicable conditions of sections 3 through 6; and (iii) preserve all
24 Legal Notices contained in My Work (to the extent they remain
25 pertinent). "Legal Notices" means copyright notices, license notices,
26 license texts, and author attributions, but does not include logos,
27 other graphical images, trademarks or trademark legends.
28
293. Conditions for Distributing Derived Works; Outbound GPL Compatibility
30
31 If You Distribute a Derived Work, You must license the entire Derived
32 Work as a whole under this License, with prominent notice of such
33 licensing. This condition may not be avoided through such means as
34 separate Distribution of portions of the Derived Work. You may
35 additionally license the Derived Work under the GPL, so that the
36 recipient may further Distribute the Derived Work under either this
37 License or the GPL.
38
394. Condition Against Further Restrictions; Inbound License Compatibility
40
41 When Distributing a Covered Work, You may not impose further
42 restrictions on the exercise of rights in the Covered Work granted under
43 this License. This condition is not excused merely because such
44 restrictions result from Your compliance with conditions or obligations
45 extrinsic to this License (such as a court order or an agreement with a
46 third party).
47
48 However, You may Distribute a Covered Work incorporating material
49 governed by a license that is both OSI-Approved and FSF-Free as of the
50 release date of this License, provided that Your Distribution complies
51 with such other license.
52
535. Conditions for Distributing Object Code
54
55 You may Distribute an Object Code form of a Covered Work, provided that
56 you accompany the Object Code with a URL through which the Corresponding
57 Source is made available, at no charge, by some standard or customary
58 means of providing network access to source code.
59
60 If you Distribute the Object Code in a physical product or tangible
61 storage medium ("Product"), the Corresponding Source must be available
62 through such URL for two years from the date of Your most recent
63 Distribution of the Object Code in the Product. However, if the Product
64 itself contains or is accompanied by the Corresponding Source (made
65 available in a customarily accessible manner), You need not also comply
66 with the first paragraph of this section.
67
68 Each recipient of the Covered Work from You is an intended third-party
69 beneficiary of this License solely as to this section 5, with the right
70 to enforce its terms.
71
726. Symmetrical Licensing Condition for Upstream Contributions
73
74 If You Distribute a work to Me specifically for inclusion in or
75 modification of a Covered Work (a "Patch"), and no explicit licensing
76 terms apply to the Patch, You license the Patch under this License, to
77 the extent of Your copyright in the Patch. This condition does not
78 negate the other conditions of this License, if applicable to the Patch.
79
807. Nullification of Copyleft/Proprietary Dual Licensing
81
82 If I offer to license, for a fee, a Covered Work under terms other than
83 a license that is OSI-Approved or FSF-Free as of the release date of this
84 License or a numbered version of copyleft-next released by the
85 Copyleft-Next Project, then the license I grant You under section 1 is no
86 longer subject to the conditions in sections 2 through 5.
87
888. Copyleft Sunset
89
90 The conditions in sections 2 through 5 no longer apply once fifteen
91 years have elapsed from the date of My first Distribution of My Work
92 under this License.
93
949. Pass-Through
95
96 When You Distribute a Covered Work, the recipient automatically receives
97 a license to My Work from Me, subject to the terms of this License.
98
9910. Termination
100
101 Your license grants under section 1 are automatically terminated if You
102
103 a) fail to comply with the conditions of this License, unless You cure
104 such noncompliance within thirty days after becoming aware of it, or
105
106 b) initiate a patent infringement litigation claim (excluding
107 declaratory judgment actions, counterclaims, and cross-claims)
108 alleging that any part of My Work directly or indirectly infringes
109 any patent.
110
111 Termination of Your license grants extends to all copies of Covered
112 Works You subsequently obtain. Termination does not terminate the
113 rights of those who have received copies or rights from You subject to
114 this License.
115
116 To the extent permission to make copies of a Covered Work is necessary
117 merely for running it, such permission is not terminable.
118
11911. Later License Versions
120
121 The Copyleft-Next Project may release new versions of copyleft-next,
122 designated by a distinguishing version number ("Later Versions").
123 Unless I explicitly remove the option of Distributing Covered Works
124 under Later Versions, You may Distribute Covered Works under any Later
125 Version.
126
127** 12. No Warranty **
128** **
129** My Work is provided "as-is", without warranty. You bear the risk **
130** of using it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each **
131** Distributor of My Work excludes the implied warranties of title, **
132** merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and **
133** non-infringement. **
134
135** 13. Limitation of Liability **
136** **
137** To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will any **
138** Distributor of My Work be liable to You for any damages **
139** whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or **
140** consequential damages, whether arising under contract, tort **
141** (including negligence), or otherwise, even where the Distributor **
142** knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages. **
143
14414. Severability
145
146 The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this License
147 does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of
148 this License. Such provision is to be reformed to the minimum extent
149 necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
