License Grants and Conditions
-
3.
Responsibilities
-
3.1.
Distribution of Source Form
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications
that You create or to which You contribute, must be under the terms of this
License. You must inform recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered
Software is governed by the terms of this License, and how they can obtain a copy
of this License. You may not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients'
rights in the Source Code Form.
-
3.2.
Distribution of Executable Form
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
-
(a)
such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form, as described in
Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain
a copy of such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no
more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
-
(b)
You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it
under different terms, provided that the license for the Executable Form does not
attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under
this License.
-
3.3.
Distribution of a Larger Work
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided that
You also comply with the requirements of this License for the Covered Software. If
the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with a work governed by one
or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is not Incompatible With
Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to additionally distribute such
Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the
recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary License(s).
-
3.4.
Notices
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices (including copyright
notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability)
contained within the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may
alter any license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual
inaccuracies.
-
3.5.
Application of Additional Terms
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. However, You
may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of any Contributor. You must
make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability
obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every
Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of
warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include
additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.
-
4.
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 Covered Software due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then
You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible;
and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be
placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under
this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such
description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able
to understand it.
-
5.
Termination
-
5.1.
The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with
any of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under this
License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until
such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing
basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by some reasonable
means prior to 60 days after You have come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants
from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You
have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such Contributor, and You
become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of the notice.
-
5.2.
If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim
(excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a
Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted
to You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this
License shall terminate.
-
5.3.
In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or Your
distributors under this License prior to termination shall survive termination.
-
6.
Disclaimer of Warranty
Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis, without
warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without
limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit
for a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and
performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software prove
defective in any respect, You (not any 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 any Covered Software is authorized under this License
except under this disclaimer.
-
7.
Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence),
contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered
Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without limitation,
damages for lost profits, 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's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.
-
8.
Litigation
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction
where the defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation
shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without reference to its
conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's
ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.
-
9.
Miscellaneous
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof. If any
provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation
which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
-
10.
Versions of the License
-
10.1.
New Versions
Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section 10.3, no one
other than the license steward has the right to modify or publish new versions of
this License. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
-
10.2.
Effect of New Versions
You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version of the License
under which You originally received the Covered Software, or under the terms of
any subsequent version published by the license steward.
-
10.3.
Modified Versions
If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to create a new
license for such software, you may create and use a modified version of this
License if you rename the license and remove any references to the name of the
license steward (except to note that such modified license differs from this
License).
-
