| |
| − | | |
| − | Academic Free License ("AFL") v. 3.0
| |
| − | | |
| − | This Academic Free License (the "License") applies to any original
| |
| − | work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor")
| |
| − | has placed the following licensing notice adjacent to the copyright
| |
| − | notice for the Original Work:
| |
| − | | |
| − | Licensed under the Academic Free License version 3.0
| |
| − | | |
| − | 1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor grants You a worldwide,
| |
| − | royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration
| |
| − | of the copyright, to do the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part
| |
| − | of a collective work;
| |
| − | | |
| − | b) to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the
| |
| − | Original Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works")
| |
| − | based upon the Original Work;
| |
| − | | |
| − | c) to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and
| |
| − | Derivative Works to the public, under any license of your choice that
| |
| − | does not contradict the terms and conditions, including Licensor's
| |
| − | reserved rights and remedies, in this Academic Free License;
| |
| − | | |
| − | d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
| |
| − | | |
| − | e) to display the Original Work publicly.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide,
| |
| − | royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent
| |
| − | claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the
| |
| − | Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the
| |
| − | patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the
| |
| − | Original Work and Derivative Works.
| |
| − | | |
| − | 3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the | |
| − | preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and
| |
| − | all available documentation describing how to modify the Original
| |
| − | Work. 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 "Academic Free License" or "AFL"
| |
| − | 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.
| |
