- MOTOSOTO OPEN SOURCE LICENSE - Version 0.9.1
-
- This Motosoto Open Source License (the "License") applies to "Community Portal
- Server" and related software products as well as any updatesor maintenance
- releases of that software ("Motosoto Products") that are distributed by Motosoto.Com
- B.V. ("Licensor"). Any Motosoto Product licensed pursuant to this License
- is a "Licensed Product." Licensed Product, in its entirety, is protected by
- Dutch copyright law. This License identifies the terms under which you may
- use, copy, distribute or modify Licensed Product and has been submitted to
- the Open Software Initiative (OSI) for approval. Preamble
-
- This Preamble is intended to describe, in plain English, the nature and scope
- of this License. However, this Preamble is not a part of this license. The
- legal effect of this License is dependent only upon the terms of the License
- and not this Preamble. This License complies with the Open Source Definition
- and has been approved by Open Source Initiative. Software distributed under
- this License may be marked as "OSI Certified Open Source Software."
-
- This License provides that:
-
- 1. You may use, sell or give away the Licensed Product, alone or as a component
- of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different
- sources. No royalty or other fee is required.
-
- 2. Both Source Code and executable versions of the Licensed Product, including
- Modifications made by previous Contributors, are available for your use. (The
- terms "Licensed Product," "Modifications," "Contributors" and "Source Code"
- are defined in the License.)
-
- 3. You are allowed to make Modifications to the Licensed Product, and you
- can create Derivative Works from it. (The term "Derivative Works" is defined
- in the License.)
-
- 4. By accepting the Licensed Product under the provisions of this License,
- you agree that any Modifications you make to the Licensed Product and then
- distribute are governed by the provisions of this License. In particular,
- you must make the Source Code of your Modifications available to others.
-
- 5. You may use the Licensed Product for any purpose, but the Licensor is not
- providing you any warranty whatsoever, nor is the Licensor accepting any liability
- in the event that the Licensed Product doesn't work properly or causes you
- any injury or damages.
-
- 6. If you sublicense the Licensed Product or Derivative Works, you may charge
- fees for warranty or support, or for accepting indemnity or liability obligations
- to your customers. You cannot charge for the Source Code.
-
- 7. If you assert any patent claims against the Licensor relating to the Licensed
- Product, or if you breach any terms of the License, your rights to the Licensed
- Product under this License automatically terminate.
-
- You may use this License to distribute your own Derivative Works, in which
- case the provisions of this License will apply to your Derivative Works just
- as they do to the original Licensed Product.
-
- Alternatively, you may distribute your Derivative Works under any other OSI-approved
- Open Source license, or under a proprietary license of your choice. If you
- use any license other than this License, however, you must continue to fulfill
- the requirements of this License (including the provisions relating to publishing
- the Source Code) for those portions of your Derivative Works that consist
- of the Licensed Product, including the files containing Modifications.
-
- New versions of this License may be published from time to time. You may choose
- to continue to use the license terms in this version of the License or those
- from the new version. However, only the Licensor has the right to change the
- License terms as they apply to the Licensed Product. This License relies on
- precise definitions for certain terms. Those terms are defined when they are
- first used, and the definitions are repeated for your convenience in a Glossary
- at the end of the License.
-
- License Terms
-
- 1. Grant of License From Licensor.
-
- Licensor hereby grants you a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license,
- subject to third party intellectual property claims, to do the following:
-
- a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute Licensed
- Product or portions thereof (including Modifications as hereinafter defined),
- in both Source Code or as an executable program. "Source Code" means the preferred
- form for making modifications to the Licensed Product, including all modules
- contained therein, plus any associated interface definition files, scripts
- used to control compilation and installation of an executable program, or
- a list of differential comparisons against the Source Code of the Licensed
- Product.
-
- b. Create Derivative Works (as that term is defined under Dutch copyright
- law) of Licensed Product by adding to or deleting from the substance or structure
- of said Licensed Product.
-
- c. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Licensor,
- to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of
- Licensed Product or portions thereof, but solely to the extent that any such
- claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
- made, and/or otherwise dispose of Licensed Product or portions thereof or
- Derivative Works thereof.
-
- 2. Grant of License to Modifications From Contributor.
-
- "Modifications" means any additions to or deletions from the substance or
- structure of (i) a file containing Licensed Product, or (ii) any new file
- that contains any part of Licensed Product. Hereinafter in this License, the
- term "Licensed Product" shall include all previous Modifications that you
- receive from any Contributor. By application of the provisions in Section
- 4(a) below, each person or entity who created or contributed to the creation
- of, and distributed, a Modification (a "Contributor") hereby grants you a
- world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual
- property claims, to do the following:
-
- a. Use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute any
- Modifications created by such Contributor or portions thereof, in both Source
- Code or as an executable program, either on an unmodified basis or as part
- of Derivative Works.
-
- b. Under claims of patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Contributor,
- to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or otherwise dispose of
- Modifications or portions thereof, but solely to the extent that any such
- claim is necessary to enable you to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
- made, and/or otherwise dispose of Modifications or portions thereof or Derivative
- Works thereof.
-
- 3. Exclusions From License Grant.
-
- Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks,
- copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor
- or any Contributor except as expressly stated herein. No patent license is
- granted separate from the Licensed Product, for code that you delete from
- the Licensed Product, or for combinations of the Licensed Product with other
- software or hardware. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor or
- any Contributor even if such marks are included in the Licensed Product. Nothing
- in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under
- different terms from this License any code that Licensor otherwise would have
- a right to license.
-
- 4. Your Obligations Regarding Distribution.
-
- a. Application of This License to Your Modifications. As an express condition
- for your use of the Licensed Product, you hereby agree that any Modifications
- that you create or to which you contribute, and which you distribute, are
- governed by the terms of this License including, without limitation, Section
- 2. Any Modifications that you create or to which you contribute may be distributed
- only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released
- under Section 7. You must include a copy of this License with every copy of
- the Modifications you distribute. You agree not to offer or impose any terms
- on any Source Code or executable version of the Licensed Product or Modifications
- that alter or restrict the applicable version of this License or the recipients'
- rights hereunder. However, you may include an additional document offering
- the additional rights described in Section 4(e).
-
- b. Availability of Source Code. You must make available, under the terms of
- this License, the Source Code of the Licensed Product and any Modifications
- that you distribute, either on the same media as you distribute any executable
- or other form of the Licensed Product, or via a mechanism generally accepted
- in the software development community for the electronic transfer of data
- (an "Electronic Distribution Mechanism"). The Source Code for any version
- of Licensed Product or Modifications that you distribute must remain available
- for at least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available,
- or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of said Licensed Product
- or Modifications has been made available. You are responsible for ensuring
- that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution
- Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
-
- c. Description of Modifications. You must cause any Modifications that you
- create or to which you contribute, and which you distribute, to contain a
- file documenting the additions, changes or deletions you made to create or
- contribute to those Modifications, and the dates of any such additions, changes
- or deletions. You must include a prominent statement that the Modifications
- are derived, directly or indirectly, from the Licensed Product and include
- the names of the Licensor and any Contributor to the Licensed Product in (i)
- the Source Code and (ii) in any notice displayed by a version of the Licensed
- Product you distribute or in related documentation in which you describe the
- origin or ownership of the Licensed Product. You may not modify or delete
- any preexisting copyright notices in the Licensed Product.
-
- d. Intellectual Property Matters.
-
- i. Third Party Claims. If you have knowledge that a license to a third party's
- intellectual property right is required to exercise the rights granted by
- this License, you must include a text file with the Source Code distribution
- titled "LEGAL" that describes the claim and the party making the claim in
- sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If you obtain
- such knowledge after you make any Modifications available as described in
- Section 4(b), you shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies you make
- available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate
- mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received
- the Licensed Product from you that new knowledge has been obtained.
-
- ii. Contributor APIs. If your Modifications include an application programming
- interface ("API") and you have knowledge of patent licenses that are reasonably
- necessary to implement that API, you must also include this information in
- the LEGAL file.
-
- iii. Representations. You represent that, except as disclosed pursuant to
- 4(d)(i) above, you believe that any Modifications you distribute are your
- original creations and that you have sufficient rights to grant the rights
- conveyed by this License.
-
- e. Required Notices. You must duplicate this License in any documentation
- you provide along with the Source Code of any Modifications you create or
- to which you contribute, and which you distribute, wherever you describe recipients'
- rights relating to Licensed Product. You must duplicate the notice contained
- in Exhibit A (the "Notice") in each file of the Source Code of any copy you
- distribute of the Licensed Product. If you created a Modification, you may
- add your name as a Contributor to the Notice. If it is not possible to put
- the Notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then you
- must include such Notice in a location (such as a relevant directory file)
- where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. You may choose to
- offer, and charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations
- to one or more recipients of Licensed Product. However, you may do so only
- on your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Licensor or any Contributor.
- You must make it clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
- obligation is offered by you alone, and you hereby agree to indemnify the
- Licensor and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Licensor
- or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability
- terms you offer.
-
- f. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Licensed Product
- as an executable program under a license of your choice that may contain terms
- different from this License provided (i) you have satisfied the requirements
- of Sections 4(a) through 4(e) for that distribution, (ii) you include a conspicuous
- notice in the executable version, related documentation and collateral materials
- stating that the Source Code version of the Licensed Product is available
- under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where
- you have fulfilled the obligations of Section 4(b), (iii) you retain all existing
- copyright notices in the Licensed Product, and (iv) you make it clear that
- any terms that differ from this License are offered by you alone, not by Licensor
- or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Licensor and every Contributor
- for any liability incurred by Licensor or such Contributor as a result of
- any terms you offer.
-
- g. Distribution of Derivative Works. You may create Derivative Works (e.g.,
- combinations of some or all of the Licensed Product with other code) and distribute
- the Derivative Works as products under any other license you select, with
- the proviso that the requirements of this License are fulfilled for those
- portions of the Derivative Works that consist of the Licensed Product or any
- Modifications thereto.
-
- 5. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
-
- If it is impossible for you to comply with any of the terms of this License
- with respect to some or all of the Licensed Product due to statute, judicial
- order, or regulation, then you must (i) comply with the terms of this License
- to the maximum extent possible, (ii) cite the statute or regulation that prohibits
- you from adhering to the License, and (iii) describe the limitations and the
- code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described
- in Section 4(d), and must be included with all distributions of the Source
- Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
- must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill at computer
- programming to be able to understand it.
-
- 6. Application of This License.
-
- This License applies to code to which Licensor or Contributor has attached
- the Notice in Exhibit A, which is incorporated herein by this reference.
-
- 7. Versions of This License.
-
- a. Version. The Motosoto Open Source License is derived from the Jabber Open
- Source License. All changes are related to applicable law and the location
- of court.
-
- b. New Versions. Licensor may publish from time to time revised and/or new
- versions of the License.
-
- c. Effect of New Versions. Once Licensed Product has been published under
- a particular version of the License, you may always continue to use it under
- the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Licensed Product
- under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Licensor.
- No one other than Lic ensor has the right to modify the terms applicable to
- Licensed Product created under this License.
-
- d. Derivative Works of this License. If you create or use a modified version
- of this License, which you may do only in order to apply it to software that
- is not already a Licensed Product under this License, you must rename your
- license so that it is not confusingly similar to this License, and must make
- it clear that your license contains terms that differ from this License. In
- so naming your license, you may not use any trademark of Licensor or any Contributor.
-
- 8. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
- LICENSED PRODUCT IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
- WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
- WARRANTIES THAT THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT
- FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
- AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT IS WITH YOU. SHOULD LICENSED PRODUCT
- PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (AND NOT THE LICENSOR OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR)
- ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
- OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF LICENSED
- PRODUCT IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
- 9. Termination.
-
- a. Automatic Termination Upon Breach. This license and the rights granted
- hereunder will terminate automatically if you fail to comply with the terms
- herein and fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of becoming aware
- of the breach. All sublicenses to the Licensed Product that are properly granted
- shall survive any termination of this license. Provisions that, by their nature,
- must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License, shall survive.
-
- b. Termination Upon Assertion of Patent Infringement. If you initiate litigation
- by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions)
- against Licensor or a Contributor (Licensor or Contributor against whom you
- file such an action is referred to herein as "Respondent") alleging that Licensed
- Product directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
- granted by such Respondent to you under Sections 1 or 2 of this License shall
- terminate prospectively upon sixty (60) days notice from Respondent (the "Notice
- Period") unless within that Notice Period you either agree in writing (i)
- to pay Respondent a mutually agreeable reasonably royalty for your past or
- future use of Licensed Product made by such Respondent, or (ii) withdraw your
- litigation claim with respect to Licensed Product against such Respondent.
- If within said Notice Period a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement
- are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
- is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Licensor to you under Sections 1 and
- 2 automatically terminate at the expiration of said Notice Period.
-
- c. Reasonable Value of This License. If you assert a patent infringement claim
- against Respondent alleging that Licensed Product directly or indirectly infringes
- any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement)
- prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
- value of the licenses granted by said Respondent under Sections 1 and 2 shall
- be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
- license.
-
- d. No Retroactive Effect of Termination. In the event of termination under
- Sections 9(a) or 9(b) above, all end user license agreements (excluding licenses
- to distributors and reselle rs) that have been validly granted by you or any
- distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.
-
- 10. Limitation of Liability.
-
- UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
- NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE LICENSOR, ANY CONTRIBUTOR,
- OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF LICENSED PRODUCT, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES,
- BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
- DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF
- GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
- COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED
- OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT
- APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY
