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 <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.
