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 © 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 " 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.
