The Academic Free License
|
|
|
|
v. 2.0
|
|
|
|
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 2.0
|
|
|
|
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, for patent infringement (i) against Licensor with respect to a
|
|
patent applicable to software or (ii) against any entity with respect to a
|
|
patent applicable to the Original Work (but excluding 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.
