-
- 3. DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
-
- 3.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which
- You contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without
- limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed
- only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released
- under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every
- copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms
- on any Source Code version that alters or restricts 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
- 3.5.
-
- 3.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to
- which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the
- terms of this License via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to
- anyone to whom you made an Executable version available and to the Initial
- Developer; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, 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
- that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You
- are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available
- even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
- You are responsible for notifying the Initial Developer of the Modification
- and the location of the Source if a contact means is provided. Red Hat will
- be acting as maintainer of the Source and may provide an Electronic Distribution
- mechanism for the Modification to be made available. You can contact Red Hat
- to make the Modification available and to notify the Initial Developer. (http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ecos/)
-
- 3.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which
- you contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create
- that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent
- statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
- Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
- Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version
- or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of
- the Covered Code.
-
- 3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
-
- (a) Third Party Claims. If You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual
- property right in particular functionality or code (or its utilization under
- this License), you must include a text file with the source code distribution
- titled "LEGAL" which 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 Your Modification available as described in
- Section 3.2, 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 Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
-
- (b) Contributor APIs. If Your Modification is an application programming interface
- and You own or control patents which are reasonably necessary to implement
- that API, you must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
-
- 3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each
- file of the Source Code, and this License in any documentation for the Source
- Code, where You describe recipients' rights relating to Covered Code. If You
- created one or more Modification(s), You may add your name as a Contributor
- to the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such 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 to charge a fee for,
- warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients
- of Covered Code.
-
- However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
- Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any such
- warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone,
- and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor
- for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as
- a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
-
- 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered Code
- in Executable form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met
- for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source
- Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
- including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations
- of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in
- an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You describe
- recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable
- version of Covered Code under a license of Your choice, which may contain
- terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with
- the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version
- does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code
- version from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable
- version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any
- terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the
- Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
- Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
- Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
-
- If you distribute executable versions containing Covered Code, you must reproduce
- the notice in Exhibit B in the documentation and/or other materials provided
- with the product.
-
- 3.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code
- with other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
- Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements
- of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
-
- 4. 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 Covered Code due to statute or regulation
- then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent
- possible; (b) cite the statute or regulation that prohibits you from adhering
- to the license; and (c) describe the limitations and the code they affect.
- Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4
- 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 to be able to understand it. You
- must submit this LEGAL file to Red Hat for review, and You will not be able
- use the covered code in any means until permission is granted from Red Hat
- to allow for the inability to comply due to statute or regulation.
-
- 5. APPLICATION OF THIS LICENSE
-
- This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the
- notice in Exhibit A, and to related Covered Code.
-
- Red Hat may include Covered Code in products without such additional products
- becoming subject to the terms of this License, and may license such additional
- products on different terms from those contained in this License.
-
- Red Hat may license the Source Code of Red Hat Branded Code without Red Hat
- Branded Code becoming subject to the terms of this License, and may license
- Red Hat Branded Code on different terms from those contained in this License.
- Contact Red Hat for details of alternate licensing terms available.
-
- 6. VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE
-
- 6.1. New Versions. Red Hat may publish revised and/or new versions of the
- License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version
- number.
-
- 6.2. Effect of New Versions. Once Covered Code 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 Covered Code under
- the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Red Hat. No
- one other than Red Hat has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered
- Code beyond what is granted under this and subsequent Licenses.
-
- 6.3. Derivative Works. If you create or use a modified version of this License
- (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered
- Code governed by this License), you must (a) rename Your license so that the
- phrases "ECOS", "eCos", "Red Hat", "RHEPL" or any confusingly similar phrase
- do not appear anywhere in your license and (b) otherwise make it clear that
- your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Red Hat eCos
- Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code
- or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves
- be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
-
- 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
-
- COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY
- OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES
- THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
- PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
- OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN
- ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME
- THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER

-
- This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically
- if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within
- 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code
- which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License.
- Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination
- of this License shall survive.
-
- 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
-
- UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
- NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
- CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF
- SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER 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'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.

-
- The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R.
- 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial

- provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen
- of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in, the United States
