The Academic Free License
|
|
v. 2.1
|
|
|
|
This Academic Free License (the "License") applies to any original
|
|
work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the
|
|
"Licensor") has placed the following notice immediately following the
|
|
copyright notice for the Original Work:
|
|
|
|
Licensed under the Academic Free License version 2.1
|
|
|
|
1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
|
|
royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license to do the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
|
|
|
|
b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the
|
|
Original Work;
|
|
|
|
c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to the
|
|
public;
|
|
|
|
d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
|
|
|
|
e) to display the Original Work publicly.
|
|
|
|
2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-
|
|
free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license, under patent claims
|
|
owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as
|
|
furnished by the Licensor, to make, use, sell and offer for sale 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
|
|
hereby 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, and by publishing
|
|
the address of that information repository in a notice immediately following
|
|
the copyright notice that applies to 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 written permission of the Licensor. Nothing
|
|
in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights,
|
|
patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as
|
|
expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to make, use, sell or
|
|
offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims
|
|
defined in Section 2. No right 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 different terms from this
|
|
License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to
|
|
license.
|
|
|
|
5) This section intentionally omitted.
|
|
|
|
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 proceeding
|
|
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 Original Work is granted hereunder 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 any person for any direct, 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 liability for death or personal injury resulting from Licensor's
|
|
negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some
|
|
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
|
|
consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to You.
|
|
|
|
9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute 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. Nothing
|
|
else but this License (or another written agreement between Licensor and You)
|
|
grants You permission to create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work
|
|
or to exercise any of the rights granted in Section 1 herein, and any attempt
|
|
to do so except under the terms of this License (or another written agreement
|
|
between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the
|
|
equivalent laws of other countries, and by international treaty. Therefore, by
|
|
exercising any of the rights granted to You in Section 1 herein, You indicate
|
|
Your acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions.
|
|
|
|
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 the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq.,
|
|
the equivalent laws of other countries, and international treaty. 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. This License represents the complete agreement concerning
|
|
the subject matter hereof. 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.
