Licensor agrees to provide a machine-readable copy +of the Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original +Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this +obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an +information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and +convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the +Original Work. + + +******************************** +4) Exclusions From License Grant +******************************** + +Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names of any contributors to the +Original Work, nor any of their trademarks or service marks, may be used to +endorse or promote products derived from this Original Work without express +prior permission of the Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing +in this License grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, +patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property. No patent license +is granted to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, or import +embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in +Section 2) No license is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such +marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be +interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under terms different from +this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to +license. + + +********************** +5) External Deployment +********************** + +The term "External Deployment" means the use, distribution, or communication +of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way such that the Original +Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone other than You, whether those +works are distributed or communicated to those persons or made available as an +application intended for use over a network. As an express condition for the +grants of license hereunder, You must treat any External Deployment by You of +the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a distribution under section 1(c). + + +********************* +6) Attribution Rights +********************* + +You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative Works that You create, +all copyright, patent, or trademark notices from the Source Code of the +Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and any descriptive text +identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code +for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution +Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the +Original Work. + + +**************************************************** +7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty +**************************************************** + +Licensor warrants that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the +patent rights granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are +sublicensed to You under the terms of this License with the permission of the +contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as expressly +stated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Original Work is provided +under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or +implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of non-infringement, +merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE +QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY +constitutes an essential part of this License. No license to the Original Work +is granted by this License except under this disclaimer. + + +************************** +8) Limitation of Liability +************************** + +Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including +negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to anyone +for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any +character arising as a result of this License or the use of the Original Work +including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, +computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or +losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent applicable +law prohibits such limitation. + + +***************************** +9) Acceptance and Termination +***************************** + +If, at any time, You expressly assented to this License, that assent indicates +your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this License and all of its terms and +conditions. If You distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work or a +Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to +obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License. This +License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed in Section +1, including your right to create Derivative Works based upon the Original +Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and conditions is prohibited +by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in this License is intended +to affect copyright exceptions and limitations (including "fair use" or "fair +dealing"). This License shall terminate immediately and You may no longer +exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License upon your failure to +honor the conditions in Section 1(c). + + +********************************* +10) Termination for Patent Action +********************************* + +This License shall terminate automatically and You may no longer exercise any +of the rights granted to You by this License as of the date You commence an +action, including a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any +licensee alleging that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination +provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by +combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware. + + +***************************************** +11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law +***************************************** + +Any action or suit relating to this License may be brought only in the courts +of a jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts +its primary business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its +conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention +on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any +use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its +termination shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of copyright or +patent law in the appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive the +termination of this License. + + +******************* +12) Attorneys' Fees +******************* + +In any action to enforce the terms of this License or seeking damages relating +thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and +expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs +incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. +This section shall survive the termination of this License. + + +***************** +13) Miscellaneous +***************** + +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. + + +*************************************** +14) Definition of "You" in This License +*************************************** + +"You" throughout this License, whether in upper or lower case, means an +individual or a legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all +of the terms of, this License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity +that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with you. For +purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or +indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by +contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the +outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity. + + +**************** +15) Right to Use +**************** + +You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise restricted or +conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor promises not to interfere +with or be responsible for such uses by You. + + +******************************** +16) Modification of This License +******************************** + +This License is Copyright © 2005 Lawrence Rosen. Permission is granted to +copy, distribute, or communicate this License without modification. Nothing in +this License permits You to modify this License as applied to the Original +Work or to Derivative Works. However, You may modify the text of this License +and copy, distribute or communicate your modified version (the "Modified +License") and apply it to other original works of authorship subject to the +following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in any way that your Modified +License is the "Open Software License" or "OSL" and you may not use those +names in the name of your Modified License; (ii) You must replace the notice +specified in the first paragraph above with the notice "Licensed under <insert +your license name here>" or with a notice of your own that is not confusingly +similar to the notice in this License; and (iii) You may not claim that your +original works are open source software unless your Modified License has been +approved by Open Source Initiative (OSI) and You comply with its license +review and certification process.
