  95. 3.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which
  96. You contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without
  97. limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed
  98. only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released
  99. under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every
  100. copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms
  101. on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version
  102. of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include
  103. an additional document offering the additional rights described in Section
  104. 3.5.
  105. 3.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to
  106. which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the
  107. terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or
  108. via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made
  109. an Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution
  110. Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the
  111. date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent
  112. version of that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients.
  113. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available
  114. even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
  115. 3.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which
  116. You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create
  117. that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent
  118. statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
  119. Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
  120. Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version
  121. or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of
  122. the Covered Code.
  123. 3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
  124. (a) Third Party Claims.
  125. If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual
  126. property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor
  127. under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text file with the Source
  128. Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making
  129. the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact.
  130. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made available
  131. as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file
  132. in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other
  133. steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably
  134. calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge
  135. has been obtained.
  136. (b) Contributor APIs.
  137. If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface
  138. and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary
  139. to implement that API, Contributor must also include this information in the
  140. LEGAL file.
  141. (c) Representations.
  142. Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4(a)
  143. above, Contributor believes that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's
  144. original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the
  145. rights conveyed by this License.
  146. 3.5. Required Notices.
  147. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code.
  148. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file
  149. due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a location (such
  150. as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice.
  151. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor
  152. to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License
  153. in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights
  154. or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and
  155. to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations
  156. to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on
  157. Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
  158. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity
  159. or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify
  160. the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
  161. the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
  162. indemnity or liability terms You offer.
  163. 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
  164. You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements
  165. of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include
  166. a notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available
  167. under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where
  168. You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously
  169. included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
  170. collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered
  171. Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code or ownership
  172. rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from
  173. this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
  174. and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit
  175. or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights
  176. set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under
  177. a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which
  178. differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer
  179. or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and
  180. every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such
  181. Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
  182. 3.7. Larger Works.
  183. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not
  184. governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a
  185. single LEDs product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of
  186. this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
  187. 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
  188. If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License
  189. with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial order,
  190. or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to
  191. the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code
  192. they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described
  193. in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code.
  194. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
  195. must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able
  196. to understand it.
  197. 5. Application of this License.
  198. This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the
  199. notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
  200. 6. Versions of the License.
  201. 6.1. New Versions.
  202. Netizen Pty Ltd ("Netizen ") may publish revised and/or new versions of the
  203. License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version
  204. number.
  205. 6.2. Effect of New Versions.
  206. Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License,
  207. You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may
  208. also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version
  209. of the License published by Netizen. No one other than Netizen has the right
  210. to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
  211. 6.3. Derivative Works.
  212. If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only
  213. do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code governed
  214. by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "Netizen",
  215. "NOSL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except
  216. to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make
  217. it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from
  218. the Netizen Open Source License and Xen Open Source License. (Filling in the
  219. name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice
  220. described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications
  221. of this License.)
  222. 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
  223. COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY
  224. OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES
  225. THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
  226. PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
  227. OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN
  228. ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME
  229. THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
  230. OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED
  231. CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
  232. 7.1 To the extent permitted by law and except as expressly provided to the
  233. contrary in this Agreement, all warranties whether express, implied, statutory
  234. or otherwise, relating in any way to the subject matter of this Agreement
  235. or to this Agreement generally, are excluded. Where legislation implies in
  236. this Agreement any condition or warranty and that legislation avoids or prohibits
  237. provisions in a contract excluding or modifying the application of or the
  238. exercise of or liability under such term, such term shall be deemed to be
  239. included in this Agreement. However, the liability of Supplier for any breach
  240. of such term shall be limited, at the option of Supplier, to any one or more
  241. of the following: if the breach related to goods: the replacement of the goods
  242. or the supply of equivalent goods; the repair of such goods; the payment of
  243. the cost of replacing the goods or of acquiring equivalent goods; or the payment
  244. of the cost of having the goods repaired; and if the breach relates to services
  245. the supplying of the services again; or the payment of the cost of having
  246. the services supplied again.
  247. 8. TERMINATION.
  248. 8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
  249. if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within
  250. 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code
  251. which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License.
  252. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination
  253. of this License shall survive.
  254. 8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding
  255. declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the
  256. Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred
  257. to as "Participant") alleging that:
  258. (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes
  259. any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under
  260. Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant
  261. terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice
  262. You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
  263. royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such Participant,
  264. or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version
  265. against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty
  266. and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties
  267. or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant
  268. to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration
  269. of the 60 day notice period specified above.
  270. (b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor
  271. Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted
  272. to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective
  273. as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications
  274. made by that Participant.
  275. 8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging
  276. that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes
  277. any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement)
  278. prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
  279. value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2
  280. shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment
  281. or license.
  282. 8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end
  283. user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have
  284. been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination
  285. shall survive termination.
  286. 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
  287. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
  288. NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY
  289. OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF
  290. ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
  291. OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES
  292. FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY
  293. AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE
  294. BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
  295. SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
  296. PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.
  297. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL
  298. OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO
  299. YOU.
  300. 10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
  301. The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R.
  302. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial
  303. computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
  304. (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through
  305. 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code
  306. with only those rights set forth herein.
  307. 11. MISCELLANEOUS.
  308. This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof.
  309. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision
  310. shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  311. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the law of
  312. the State of Victoria. The parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction
  313. of the Courts of Victoria and Australia and any Courts hearing appeals from
  314. such Courts. This Agreement is deemed to have been made in Victoria.
  315. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
  316. Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides
  317. that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall
