Academic Free License ("AFL") v. 3.0
|
||
|
||
This Academic Free License (the "License") applies to any original work
|
||
of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has placed
|
||
the following licensing notice adjacent to the copyright notice for the
|
||
Original Work:
|
||
|
||
Licensed under the Academic Free License version 3.0
|
||
|
||
1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
|
||
non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration of the copyright, to
|
||
do the following:
|
||
|
||
a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part of a
|
||
collective work;
|
||
|
||
b) to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the Original
|
||
Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the
|
||
Original Work;
|
||
|
||
c) to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and Derivative
|
||
Works to the public, under any license of your choice that does not contradict
|
||
the terms and conditions, including Licensor's reserved rights and remedies,
|
||
in this Academic Free License;
|
||
|
||
d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
|
||
|
||
e) to display the Original Work publicly.
|
||
|
||
2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
|
||
non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims owned or controlled
|
||
by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the
|
||
Licensor, for the duration of the patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale,
|
||
have made, and import 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 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.
|
||
|
||
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 permission of the Licensor. Except as
|
||
expressly stated herein, nothing in this License grants any license to
|
||
Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other
|
||
intellectual property. No patent license is granted to make, use, sell, offer
|
||
for sale, have made, or import embodiments of any patent claims other than the
|
||
licensed claims defined in Section 2. No license 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
|
||
terms different from this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise
|
||
would have a right to license.
|
||
|
||
5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use,
|
||
distribution, or communication of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any
|
||
way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone other
|
||
than You, whether those works are distributed or communicated to those persons
|
||
or made available as an application intended for use over a network. As an
|
||
express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You must treat any
|
||
External Deployment by You of the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a
|
||
distribution under section 1(c).
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
preceding 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 the Original Work is granted by this
|
||
License 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 anyone for any 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 the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation.
|
||
|
||
9) Acceptance and Termination. If, at any time, You expressly assented to this
|
||
License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this
|
||
License and all of its terms and conditions. If You distribute or communicate
|
||
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. This License conditions your rights to undertake the
|
||
activities listed in Section 1, including your right to create Derivative Works
|
||
based upon the Original Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and
|
||
conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in
|
||
this License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and limitations
|
||
(including "fair use" or "fair dealing"). This License shall terminate
|
||
immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by
|
||
this License upon your failure to honor the conditions in Section 1(c).
|
||
|
||
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 copyright or patent law in the appropriate
|
||
jurisdiction. 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. 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.
|
||
|
||
16) Modification of This License. This License is Copyright <20> 2005 Lawrence
|
||
Rosen. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or communicate this License
|
||
without modification. Nothing in this License permits You to modify this
|
||
License as applied to the Original Work or to Derivative Works. However, You
|
||
may modify the text of this License and copy, distribute or communicate your
|
||
modified version (the "Modified License") and apply it to other original works
|
||
of authorship subject to the following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in
|
||
any way that your Modified License is the "Academic Free License" or "AFL" and
|
||
you may not use those names in the name of your Modified License; (ii) You must
|
||
replace the notice specified in the first paragraph above with the notice
|
||
"Licensed under <insert your license name here>" or with a notice of your own
|
||
that is not confusingly similar to the notice in this License; and (iii) You
|
||
may not claim that your original works are open source software unless your
|
||
Modified License has been approved by Open Source Initiative (OSI) and You
|
||
comply with its license review and certification process.
