    100           effective on the date Initial Developer first distributes
    101           Original Code under the terms of this License.
    102 
    103           (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is

    116           created by such Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an
    117           unmodified basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Code
    118           and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
    119 
    120           (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or
    121           selling of  Modifications made by that Contributor either alone
    122           and/or in combination with its Contributor Version (or portions
    123           of such combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
    124           made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1) Modifications made by that
    125           Contributor (or portions thereof); and 2) the combination of
    126           Modifications made by that Contributor with its Contributor
    127           Version (or portions of such combination).
    128 
    129           (c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are
    130           effective on the date Contributor first makes Commercial Use of
    131           the Covered Code.
    132 
    133           (d)    Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
    134           granted: 1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the
    135           Contributor Version; 2)  separate from the Contributor Version;
    136           3)  for infringements caused by: i) third party modifications of
    137           Contributor Version or ii)  the combination of Modifications made
    138           by that Contributor with other software  (except as part of the
    139           Contributor Version) or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims
    140           infringed by Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by
    141           that Contributor.
    142 
    143 3. Distribution Obligations.
    144 
    145      3.1. Application of License.
    146      The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
    147      governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
    148      Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
    149      distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version
    150      of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a
    151      copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
    152      distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
    153      version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
    154      License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include
    155      an additional document offering the additional rights described in
    156      Section 3.5.
    157 
    158      3.2. Availability of Source Code.
    159      Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
    160      made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
    161      either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
    162      Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
    163      Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
    164      Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12)
    165      months after the date it initially became available, or at least six
    166      (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
    167      has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
    168      ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the
    169      Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
    170 
    171      3.3. Description of Modifications.
    172      You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
    173      file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
    174      the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that
    175      the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
    176      Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the
    177      Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
    178      Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
    179      origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
    180 
    181      3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
    182           (a) Third Party Claims.
    183           If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
    184           intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights
    185           granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
    186           Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
    187           distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the
    188           party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will
    189           know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after
    190           the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
    191           Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
    192           Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps
    193           (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
    194           reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered
    195           Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
    196 
    197           (b) Contributor APIs.
    198           If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming
    199           interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which
    200           are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
    201           also include this information in the LEGAL file.
    202 
    203                (c)    Representations.
    204           Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to
    205           Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's
    206           Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
    207           Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
    208           this License.
    209 
    210      3.5. Required Notices.
    211      You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source
    212      Code.  If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source
    213      Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
    214      location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely
    215      to look for such a notice.  If You created one or more Modification(s)
    216      You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in
    217      Exhibit A.  You must also duplicate this License in any documentation
    218      for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
    219      rights relating to Covered Code.  You may choose to offer, and to
    220      charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
    221      obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You
    222      may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
    223      Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than
    224      any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is
    225      offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
    226      Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
    227      Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty,
    228      support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
    229 
    230      3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
    231      You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
    232      requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
    233      and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
    234      the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
    235      including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the
    236      obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included
    237      in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
    238      collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the
    239      Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
    240      Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may
    241      contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in
    242      compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the
    243      Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's
    244      rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
    245      License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different
    246      license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ
    247      from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
    248      Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
    249      Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
    250      the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
    251      terms You offer.
    252 
    253      3.7. Larger Works.
    254      You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code
    255      not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
    256      Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
    257      requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
    258 
    259 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
    260 
    261      If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
    262      License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
    263      statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
    264      the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
    265      describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
    266      must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must
    267      be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
    268      extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be
    269      sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
    270      understand it.
    271 
    272 5. Application of this License.
    273 
    274      This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
    275      attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
    276 
    277 6. Versions of the License.
    278 
    279      6.1. New Versions.
    280      Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised
    281      and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version
    282      will be given a distinguishing version number.
    283 
    284      6.2. Effect of New Versions.
    285      Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
    286      License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
    287      version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms
    288      of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one
    289      other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to
    290      Covered Code created under this License.
    291 
    292      6.3. Derivative Works.
    293      If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may
    294      only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code
    295      governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that
    296      the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape",
    297      "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your
    298      license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
    299      and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license
    300      contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
    301      Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
    302      Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
    303      Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of
    304      this License.)
    305 
    306 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
    307 
    308      COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
    309      WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
    310      WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
    311      DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
    312      THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE
    313      IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
    314      YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE
    315      COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
    316      OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
    317      ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
    318 
    319 8. TERMINATION.
    320 
    321      8.1.  This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
    322      automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
    323      such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
    324      sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
    325      survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
    326      nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
    327      shall survive.
    328 
    329      8.2.  If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
    330      claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer
    331      or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
    332      You file such action is referred to as "Participant")  alleging that:
    333 
    334      (a)  such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
    335      infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
    336      Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
    337      shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
    338      unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i)
    339      agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
    340      royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
    341      Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
    342      the Contributor Version against such Participant.  If within 60 days
    343      of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
    344      mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
    345      is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
    346      Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of
    347      the 60 day notice period specified above.
    348 
    349      (b)  any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
    350      Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then
    351      any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
    352      and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used,
    353      sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
    354      Participant.
    355 
    356      8.3.  If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
    357      alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
    358      indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as
    359      by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
    360      infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
    361      granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
    362      into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
    363      license.
    364 
    365      8.4.  In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above,
    366      all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers)
    367      which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
    368      prior to termination shall survive termination.
    369 
    370 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
    371 
    372      UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
    373      (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
    374      DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,
    375      OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR
    376      ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
    377      CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
    378      WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
    379      COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
    380      INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
    381      LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
    382      RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
    383      PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
    384      EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
    385      THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
    386 
    387 10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
    388 
    389      The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in
    390      48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
    391      software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such
    392      terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
    393      C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
    394      all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those
    395      rights set forth herein.
    396 
    397 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
    398 
    399      This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
    400      matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
    401      unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
    402      necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
    403      California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
    404      any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
    405      With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of,
    406      or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United
    407      States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
    408      subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
    409      District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
    410      California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including
    411      without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
    412      expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
    413      Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
    414      Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
    415      shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
    416      License.
    417 
    418 12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
    419 
    420      As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
    421      responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
    422      out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
    423      work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
    424      responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
    425      shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
    426
