copyleft-next 0.3.0 ("this License")
|
|
Release date: 2013-05-16
|
|
|
|
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. You may
|
|
additionally license the Derived Work under the GPL, so that the
|
|
recipient may further Distribute the Derived Work under either this
|
|
License or 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 Your Distribution complies
|
|
with such other 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 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 2 through 5.
|
|
|
|
8. Copyleft Sunset
|
|
|
|
The conditions in sections 2 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.
