Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in Executable form must also be made available
in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License. You must
include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute or
otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form as to how they
can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used
for software exchange.
3.2. Modifications.
The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License. You
represent that You believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or You have sufficient rights to
grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.3. Required Notices.
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification.
You may not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained within the Covered Software, or
any notices of licensing or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or the Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in Source Code form that alters or restricts the
applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. 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 the Initial Developer or 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 the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability
incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability
terms You offer.
3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under the terms of this License or under the terms
of a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance
with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to limit or alter
the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the
Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make it absolutely clear that any terms
which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or Contributor. You hereby
agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer
or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
3.6. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with other code not governed by the terms of this License
and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this
License are fulfilled for the Covered Software.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. New Versions.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may publish revised and/or new versions of this License
from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. Except as provided in Section 4.3,
no one other than the license steward has the right to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of
the version of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software. If the Initial Developer
includes a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made available under
any subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms
of the version of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also
choose to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of any subsequent version
of the License published by the license steward.
4.3. Modified Versions.
When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license for Your Original Software, You may create
and use a modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove any references to the name of
the license steward (except to note that the license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise make it clear that
the license contains terms which differ from this License.
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, 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 THE INITIAL DEVELOPER 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 ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER
THIS DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION.
6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and
fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of
the breach. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain
in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory
judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor
(the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You assert
such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that the i
Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where the
Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly
or indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer
the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60
days notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if
within such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with
respect to the Participant Software against such Participant
either unilaterally or pursuant to a written agreement with
Participant.
6.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
alleging that the Participant Software 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 such
Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account
in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.
6.4. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or
any distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
COVERED SOFTWARE, 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'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. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in
48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software"
(as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. ยง 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and
"commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in
48 C.F.R. 12.212 Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and
48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S.
Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only those rights
set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause is in lieu of,
and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or provision that
addresses Government rights in computer software under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning 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. This License shall be governed
by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained within the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating to this License shall be subject
to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained within the Original Software, with the
losing party responsible for costs, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of
the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that
the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You agree that You alone are responsible for
compliance with the United States export administration regulations (and the export control laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use,
distribute or otherwise make available any Covered Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of
its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on
an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
