|
|
|
|
Release date: 2016-04-29
|
|
|
|
1. License Grants; No Trademark License
|
|
|
|
Subject to the terms of this License, I grant You:
|
|
|
|
a) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright
|
|
license, to reproduce, Distribute, prepare derivative works of, publicly perform
|
|
and publicly display My Work.
|
|
|
|
b) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable patent
|
|
license under Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale,
|
|
and import Covered Works.
|
|
|
|
This License does not grant any rights in My name, trademarks, service marks,
|
|
or logos.
|
|
|
|
2. Distribution: General Conditions
|
|
|
|
You may Distribute Covered Works, provided that You (i) inform recipients
|
|
how they can obtain a copy of this License; (ii) satisfy the applicable conditions
|
|
of sections 3 through 6; and (iii) preserve all Legal Notices contained in
|
|
My Work (to the extent they remain pertinent). "Legal Notices" means copyright
|
|
notices, license notices, license texts, and author attributions, but does
|
|
not include logos, other graphical images, trademarks or trademark legends.
|
|
|
|
3. Conditions for Distributing Derived Works; Outbound GPL Compatibility
|
|
|
|
If You Distribute a Derived Work, You must license the entire Derived Work
|
|
as a whole under this License, with prominent notice of such licensing. This
|
|
condition may not be avoided through such means as separate Distribution of
|
|
portions of the Derived Work.
|
|
|
|
If the Derived Work includes material licensed under the GPL, You may instead
|
|
license the Derived Work under the GPL.
|
|
|
|
4. Condition Against Further Restrictions; Inbound License Compatibility
|
|
|
|
When Distributing a Covered Work, You may not impose further restrictions
|
|
on the exercise of rights in the Covered Work granted under this License.
|
|
This condition is not excused merely because such restrictions result from
|
|
Your compliance with conditions or obligations extrinsic to this License (such
|
|
as a court order or an agreement with a third party).
|
|
|
|
However, You may Distribute a Covered Work incorporating material governed
|
|
by a license that is both OSI-Approved and FSF-Free as of the release date
|
|
of this License, provided that compliance with such other license would not
|
|
conflict with any conditions stated in other sections of this License.
|
|
|
|
5. Conditions for Distributing Object Code
|
|
|
|
You may Distribute an Object Code form of a Covered Work, provided that you
|
|
accompany the Object Code with a URL through which the Corresponding Source
|
|
is made available, at no charge, by some standard or customary means of providing
|
|
network access to source code.
|
|
|
|
If you Distribute the Object Code in a physical product or tangible storage
|
|
medium ("Product"), the Corresponding Source must be available through such
|
|
URL for two years from the date of Your most recent Distribution of the Object
|
|
Code in the Product. However, if the Product itself contains or is accompanied
|
|
by the Corresponding Source (made available in a customarily accessible manner),
|
|
You need not also comply with the first paragraph of this section.
|
|
|
|
Each direct and indirect recipient of the Covered Work from You is an intended
|
|
third-party beneficiary of this License solely as to this section 5, with
|
|
the right to enforce its terms.
|
|
|
|
6. Symmetrical Licensing Condition for Upstream Contributions
|
|
|
|
If You Distribute a work to Me specifically for inclusion in or modification
|
|
of a Covered Work (a "Patch"), and no explicit licensing terms apply to the
|
|
Patch, You license the Patch under this License, to the extent of Your copyright
|
|
in the Patch. This condition does not negate the other conditions of this
|
|
License, if applicable to the Patch.
|
|
|
|
7. Nullification of Copyleft/Proprietary Dual Licensing
|
|
|
|
If I offer to license, for a fee, a Covered Work under terms other than a
|
|
license that is OSI-Approved or FSF-Free as of the release date of this License
|
|
or a numbered version of copyleft-next released by the Copyleft-Next Project,
|
|
then the license I grant You under section 1 is no longer subject to the conditions
|
|
in sections 3 through 5.
|
|
|
|
8. Copyleft Sunset
|
|
|
|
The conditions in sections 3 through 5 no longer apply once fifteen years
|
|
have elapsed from the date of My first Distribution of My Work under this
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
9. Pass-Through
|
|
|
|
When You Distribute a Covered Work, the recipient automatically receives a
|
|
license to My Work from Me, subject to the terms of this License.
|
|
|
|
10. Termination
|
|
|
|
Your license grants under section 1 are automatically terminated if You
|
|
|
|
a) fail to comply with the conditions of this License, unless You cure such
|
|
noncompliance within thirty days after becoming aware of it, or
|
|
|
|
b) initiate a patent infringement litigation claim (excluding declaratory
|
|
judgment actions, counterclaims, and cross-claims) alleging that any part
|
|
of My Work directly or indirectly infringes any patent.
|
|
|
|
Termination of Your license grants extends to all copies of Covered Works
|
|
You subsequently obtain. Termination does not terminate the rights of those
|
|
who have received copies or rights from You subject to this License.
|
|
|
|
To the extent permission to make copies of a Covered Work is necessary merely
|
|
for running it, such permission is not terminable.
|
|
|
|
11. Later License Versions
|
|
|
|
The Copyleft-Next Project may release new versions of copyleft-next, designated
|
|
by a distinguishing version number ("Later Versions"). Unless I explicitly
|
|
remove the option of Distributing Covered Works under Later Versions, You
|
|
may Distribute Covered Works under any Later Version.
|
|
|
|
12. No Warranty
|
|
|
|
My Work is provided "as-is", without warranty. You bear the risk of using
|
|
it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Distributor of My Work
|
|
excludes the implied warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular
|
|
purpose and non-infringement.
|
|
|
|
13. Limitation of Liability
|
|
|
|
To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will any Distributor
|
|
of My Work be liable to You for any damages whatsoever, whether direct, indirect,
|
|
special, incidental, or consequential damages, whether arising under contract,
|
|
tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even where the Distributor knew
|
|
or should have known about the possibility of such damages.
|
|
|
|
14. Severability
|
|
|
|
The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this License does not
|
|
affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this License. Such
|
|
provision is to be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid
|
|
and enforceable.
|
|
|
