The purpose of this License is for the Licensor named above to permit +the Licensee (as defined below) broad permission, if consistent with Human +Rights Laws and Human Rights Principles (as each is defined below), to use +and work with the Software (as defined below) within the full scope of Licensor's +copyright and patent rights, if any, in the Software, while ensuring attribution +and protecting the Licensor from liability. + +Permission and Conditions. The Licensor grants permission by this license +("License"), free of charge, to the extent of Licensor's rights under applicable +copyright and patent law, to any person or entity (the "Licensee") obtaining +a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), +to do everything with the Software that would otherwise infringe (i) the Licensor's +copyright in the Software or (ii) any patent claims to the Software that the +Licensor can license or becomes able to license, subject to all of the following +terms and conditions: + +* Acceptance. This License is automatically offered to every person and entity +subject to its terms and conditions. Licensee accepts this License and agrees +to its terms and conditions by taking any action with the Software that, absent +this License, would infringe any intellectual property right held by Licensor. + +* Notice. Licensee must ensure that everyone who gets a copy of any part of +this Software from Licensee, with or without changes, also receives the License +and the above copyright notice (and if included by the Licensor, patent, trademark +and attribution notice). Licensee must cause any modified versions of the +Software to carry prominent notices stating that Licensee changed the Software. +For clarity, although Licensee is free to create modifications of the Software +and distribute only the modified portion created by Licensee with additional +or different terms, the portion of the Software not modified must be distributed +pursuant to this License. If anyone notifies Licensee in writing that Licensee +has not complied with this Notice section, Licensee can keep this License +by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the notice. If +Licensee does not do so, Licensee's License (and all rights licensed hereunder) +shall end immediately. + + * Compliance with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws. + + 1. Human Rights Principles. + +(a) Licensee is advised to consult the articles of the United Nations Universal +Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact that define +recognized principles of international human rights (the "Human Rights Principles"). +Licensee shall use the Software in a manner consistent with Human Rights Principles. + +(b) Unless the Licensor and Licensee agree otherwise, any dispute, controversy, +or claim arising out of or relating to (i) Section 1(a) regarding Human Rights +Principles, including the breach of Section 1(a), termination of this License +for breach of the Human Rights Principles, or invalidity of Section 1(a) or +(ii) a determination of whether any Law is consistent or in conflict with +Human Rights Principles pursuant to Section 2, below, shall be settled by +arbitration in accordance with the Hague Rules on Business and Human Rights +Arbitration (the "Rules"); provided, however, that Licensee may elect not +to participate in such arbitration, in which event this License (and all rights +licensed hereunder) shall end immediately. The number of arbitrators shall +be one unless the Rules require otherwise. + +Unless both the Licensor and Licensee agree to the contrary: (1) All documents +and information concerning the arbitration shall be public and may be disclosed +by any party; (2) The repository referred to under Article 43 of the Rules +shall make available to the public in a timely manner all documents concerning +the arbitration which are communicated to it, including all submissions of +the parties, all evidence admitted into the record of the proceedings, all +transcripts or other recordings of hearings and all orders, decisions and +awards of the arbitral tribunal, subject only to the arbitral tribunal's powers +to take such measures as may be necessary to safeguard the integrity of the +arbitral process pursuant to Articles 18, 33, 41 and 42 of the Rules; and +(3) Article 26(6) of the Rules shall not apply. + +2. Human Rights Laws. The Software shall not be used by any person or entity +for any systems, activities, or other uses that violate any Human Rights Laws. +"Human Rights Laws" means any applicable laws, regulations, or rules (collectively, +"Laws") that protect human, civil, labor, privacy, political, environmental, +security, economic, due process, or similar rights; provided, however, that +such Laws are consistent and not in conflict with Human Rights Principles +(a dispute over the consistency or a conflict between Laws and Human Rights +Principles shall be determined by arbitration as stated above). Where the +Human Rights Laws of more than one jurisdiction are applicable or in conflict +with respect to the use of the Software, the Human Rights Laws that are most +protective of the individuals or groups harmed shall apply. + +3. Indemnity. Licensee shall hold harmless and indemnify Licensor (and any +other contributor) against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, +claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines, +costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including Licensor's reasonable attorneys' +fees, arising out of or relating to Licensee's use of the Software in violation +of Human Rights Laws or Human Rights Principles. + +* Failure to Comply. Any failure of Licensee to act according to the terms +and conditions of this License is both a breach of the License and an infringement +of the intellectual property rights of the Licensor (subject to exceptions +under Laws, e.g., fair use). In the event of a breach or infringement, the +terms and conditions of this License may be enforced by Licensor under the +Laws of any jurisdiction to which Licensee is subject. Licensee also agrees +that the Licensor may enforce the terms and conditions of this License against +Licensee through specific performance (or similar remedy under Laws) to the +extent permitted by Laws. For clarity, except in the event of a breach of +this License, infringement, or as otherwise stated in this License, Licensor +may not terminate this License with Licensee. + +* Enforceability and Interpretation. If any term or provision of this License +is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent +jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall +not affect any other term or provision of this License or invalidate or render +unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction; provided, +however, subject to a court modification pursuant to the immediately following +sentence, if any term or provision of this License pertaining to Human Rights +Laws or Human Rights Principles is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable +against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction, all rights in the Software +granted to Licensee shall be deemed null and void as between Licensor and +Licensee. Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid, illegal, +or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by Laws, the court may modify this +License to affect the original purpose that the Software be used in compliance +with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws as closely as possible. +The language in this License shall be interpreted as to its fair meaning and +not strictly for or against any party. + +* Disclaimer.
