| 2 | Release date: 2013-05-16 |
| 3 | |
| 4 | 1. 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 | |
| 19 | 2. 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 | |
| 29 | 3. 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 | |
| 39 | 4. 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 | |
| 53 | 5. 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 | |
| 72 | 6. 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 | |
| 80 | 7. 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 | |
| 88 | 8. 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 | |
| 94 | 9. 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 | |
| 99 | 10. 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 | |
| 119 | 11. 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 | |
| 144 | 14. 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. |
