Apache Whisker is based around meta-data describing the licensing qualities of documents included within complex software distributions. Whisker just helps to maintain information more efficiently, and is no substitute for solid legal work. Learn about copyright and software licensing here.
This example has been carefully chosen to illuminate the tricky topic of copyright notices. Whisker means by this the copyright claims included at the start of some licenses (for example, the MIT Licence), corresponding to copyright-notice meta data. Copyright claims which are included in NOTICEs should be included within the notice meta data, and not added as copyright-notice elements. If the copyright claim belongs in the LICENSE document then use a copyright-notice. If the copyright claim belongs in the NOTICE document then include it within a notice.
If this isn't quite what you're looking for, take a look at:
or dive into sample meta-data:
If you're using an IDE then see the meta data reference for a DTD.
If you have any questions, please try the FAQ before asking on the mail lists.
A copyright notice is a simple claim of ownership, typically by an author of the work. For example
Copyright (c) YEAR A.N.AUTHOR
Do not confuse a copyright notice with the NOTICE that some licenses require to be distributed. A typical NOTICE contains attribution information (for example This products contains software developed by the Apache Software Foundation) as well as a copyright notice.
Many license definitions (for example, The MIT License) conventionally include a copyright notice. The contents of these copyright notices vary widely.
Whisker separates copyright-notice from license to reduce duplication. (Optionally) a copyright-notice begins a with-license block, before resource grouped by-organisation sharing this copyright-notice and license.
Only a few licenses use copyright-notice elements to contain claims. When a copyright-notice is used, the claim will be printed immediately before the associated license in the LICENSE document. This will only be correct if the original license includes this copyright at this location.
When copyright claims are included in NOTICE documents, then include these claims instead in appropriate notice meta-data.
When copyright claims are included within the body of a license text, then create a template and pass the claim as a parameter.
When the primary license uses copyright notices, you should add a primary copyright notice. For an example, see Whisker In 5 Minutes.
To illustrate how and when to use copyright notices, we'll create meta data for a project that uses a license (CDDL 1.0) which requires neither notice nor copyright-notice. We'll create meta-data for a project which distributes a release containing one work which requires a copyright-notice (MIT License) and another one which requires a notice (Apache License, Version 2), as well as works under the primary (CDDL1.0) license.
Begin by adding definitions for the licenses for the works contained in the distribution:

3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Availability of Source Code.
Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available
in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form
and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms
of this License. You must include a copy of this License with every
copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute
or otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such
Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain such
Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
3.2. Modifications.
The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of this License. You represent that You believe
Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or You have
sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.3. Required Notices.
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may not
remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained
within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing or any
descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or the
Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software
in Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version
of this License or the recipients rights hereunder. You may choose
to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity
or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. 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.
3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
under the terms of this License or under the terms of 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 form does not attempt to
limit or alter the recipients rights in the Source Code form from
the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered
Software in Executable form 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 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.
3.6. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software
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 Software.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. New Versions.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may publish
revised and/or new versions of this License from time to time.
Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license
steward has the right to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered
Software available under the terms of the version of the License under
which You originally received the Covered Software. If the
Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software
prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made available
under any subsequent version of the License, You must distribute
and make the Covered Software available under the terms of the
version of the License under which You originally received the
Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use,
distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
published by the license steward.
4.3. Modified Versions.
When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license
for Your Original Software, You may create and use a modified version
of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove any
references to the name of the license steward (except to note that the
license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise make it
clear that the license contains terms which differ from this License.
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED SOFTWARE 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 SOFTWARE 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
SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE 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 OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED
HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION.
6.1. 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. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect
beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
You assert such claim is referred to as Participant) alleging
that the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version
where the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software
where the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
granted directly or indirectly to You by such Participant,
the Initial Developer (if the Initial Developer is not the
Participant) and all Contributors under Sections 2.1 and/or
2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant
terminate prospectively and automatically at the expiration
of such 60 day notice period, unless if within such 60 day
period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the Participant
Software against such Participant either unilaterally or
pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or
any distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding
licenses granted to You by any distributor) shall survive
termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
COVERED SOFTWARE, 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 LOST PROFITS, 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 PARTYS NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Software is a commercial item, as that term is defined
in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of commercial computer
software (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1))
and commercial computer software documentation as such terms are
used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R.
12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only
those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause
is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause
or provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
matter hereof. 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. This License shall be
governed by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice
contained within the Original Software (except to the extent
applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such
jurisdictions conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation relating
to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts located in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a
notice contained within the Original Software, with the losing
party responsible for costs, including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law
or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License. You agree that You alone are responsible for compliance
with the United States export administration regulations (and the
export control laws and regulation of any other countries) when
You use, distribute or otherwise make available any Covered
Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended
or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
as of the date such litigation is filed.

of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
as modifying the License.
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
the conditions stated in this License.
5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

</licenses>
...For clarity, let's assume (for clarity) that The Example Project has licensed each of the works distributed. So, define only one organisation:
...
</licenses>
<organisations>
<organisation
id='example.org'
name='The Example Project'
url='http://example.org/'
/>
</organisations>
...Add references to the main license (CDDL 1.0) and organisation (The Example Project).
The CDDL 1.0 has no retention clause (and so no primary-notice needs to be added), and includes no copyright claim (and so no <copyright-notice is needed either).
...
</organisations>
<primary-license id='osi:CDDL-1.0'/>
<primary-notice/>
<primary-organisation id='example.org'/>
...Let's assume (for clarity) that the distribution contains only three works:
all in the root directory and all licensed from The Example Org with the licenses that their names suggest.
As noted above, the primary license (CDDL 1.0) needs neither notice nor copyright-notice.
...
<within dir='.'>
<with-license id='osi:CDDL-1.0'>
<by-organisation id='example.org'>
<resource name='cddl.txt'/>
</by-organisation>
</with-license>
...The MIT License usually requires a copyright-notice. Consulting the license text, we find the copyright claim is Copyright (c) 2525 The Example Project. This should be entered as a copyright-notice child of the with-license, so that this appears before the plain MIT text in the generated LICENSE.
...
<with-license id='osi:mit'>
<copyright-notice>Copyright (c) 2525 The Example Project</copyright-notice>
<by-organisation id='example.org'>
<resource name='mit.txt'/>
</by-organisation>
</with-license>
...In contrast, the Apache License, Version 2 has a retention clause and typically has a NOTICE which must be redistributed. Consulting the release containing apache.txt, we find that the appropriate NOTICE is as follows:
Copyright (c) 2525 The Example Project http://example.org
So, within notices we add a notice then reference the notice by id in the resource.
<notices>
<notice id='example.org'>
Copyright (c) 2525 The Example Project http://example.org
</notice>
</notices>
...
<within dir='.'>
...
<with-license id='osi:AL2'>
<by-organisation id='example.org'>
<resource name='apache.txt' notice='example.org'/>

</with-license>
...Now all the contents have been described, the meta-data is complete.

3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Availability of Source Code.
Any
Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available
in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code
form
and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the
terms
of this License. You must include a copy of this License
with every
copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software
You distribute
or otherwise make available. You must inform
recipients of any such
Covered Software in Executable form as to
how they can obtain such
Covered Software in Source Code form in
a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for
software exchange.
3.2. Modifications.
The Modifications that You
create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of
this License. You represent that You believe
Your Modifications
are Your original creation(s) and/or You have
sufficient rights
to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.3. Required
Notices.
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications
that
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You
may not
remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark
notices contained
within the Covered Software, or any notices of
licensing or any
descriptive text giving attribution to any
Contributor or the
Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of
Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any
Covered Software
in Source Code form that alters or restricts the
applicable version
of this License or the recipients rights
hereunder. You may choose
to offer, and to charge a fee for,
warranty, support, indemnity
or liability obligations to one or
more recipients of Covered
Software. 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.
3.5. Distribution
of Executable Versions.
You may distribute the Executable form of
the Covered Software
under the terms of this License or under the
terms of 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 form does not attempt to
limit or alter the recipients
rights in the Source Code form from
the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Covered
Software in Executable
form 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 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.
3.6. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work
by combining Covered Software
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 Software.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. New Versions.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is
the initial license steward and may publish
revised and/or new
versions of this License from time to time.
Each version will be
given a distinguishing version number.
Except as provided in
Section 4.3, no one other than the license
steward has the right
to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may
always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered
Software available under the terms of the version of the License
under
which You originally received the Covered Software. If the
Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software
prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
available
under any subsequent version of the License, You must
distribute
and make the Covered Software available under the
terms of the
version of the License under which You originally
received the
Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to
use,
distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
published by the license steward.
4.3. Modified Versions.
When You
are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license
for Your Original Software, You may create and use a modified
version
of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove
any
references to the name of the license steward (except to note
that the
license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise
make it
clear that the license contains terms which differ from
this License.
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED SOFTWARE 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 SOFTWARE 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
SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE 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 OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED
HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION.
6.1. 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. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect
beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2. If You assert a
patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment
actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial
Developer or Contributor against whom
You assert such claim is
referred to as Participant) alleging
that the Participant
Software (meaning the Contributor Version
where the Participant
is a Contributor or the Original Software
where the Participant
is the Initial Developer) directly or
indirectly infringes any
patent, then any and all rights
granted directly or indirectly to
You by such Participant,
the Initial Developer (if the Initial
Developer is not the
Participant) and all Contributors under
Sections 2.1 and/or
2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant
terminate prospectively and automatically
at the expiration
of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
such 60 day
period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
Participant
Software against such Participant either unilaterally
or
pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3. In the
event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end
user licenses that have been validly granted by You or
any
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding
licenses
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive
termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
COVERED SOFTWARE, 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 LOST PROFITS, 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 PARTYS NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Software is a commercial item, as that term is defined
in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of commercial computer
software (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R.
252.227-7014(a)(1))
and commercial computer software documentation as such terms are
used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R.
12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only
those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause
is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause
or provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
matter hereof. 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. This License shall be
governed by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice
contained within the Original Software (except to the extent
applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such
jurisdictions conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation
relating
to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts located in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a
notice contained within the Original Software, with the losing
party responsible for costs, including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law
or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License. You agree that You alone are responsible for compliance
with the United States export administration regulations (and the
export control laws and regulation of any other countries) when
You use, distribute or otherwise make available any Covered
Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
indirectly,
out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended
or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
granted: (1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from
the Contributor Version; (2) for infringements caused by: (i)
third party modifications of Contributor Version, or (ii) the
combination of Modifications made by that Contributor with
other software (except as part of the Contributor Version)
or other devices; or (3) under Patent Claims infringed by
Covered Software in the absence of Modifications made by that
Contributor.
3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Availability of Source Code.
Any
Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available
in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code
form
and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the
terms
of this License. You must include a copy of this License
with every
copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software
You distribute
or otherwise make available. You must inform
recipients of any such
Covered Software in Executable form as to
how they can obtain such
Covered Software in Source Code form in
a reasonable manner on or
through a medium customarily used for
software exchange.
3.2. Modifications.
The Modifications that You
create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of
this License. You represent that You believe
Your Modifications
are Your original creation(s) and/or You have
sufficient rights
to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
3.3. Required
Notices.
You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications
that
identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You
may not
remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark
notices contained
within the Covered Software, or any notices of
licensing or any
descriptive text giving attribution to any
Contributor or the
Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of
Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any
Covered Software
in Source Code form that alters or restricts the
applicable version
of this License or the recipients rights
hereunder. You may choose
to offer, and to charge a fee for,
warranty, support, indemnity
or liability obligations to one or
more recipients of Covered
Software. 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.
3.5. Distribution
of Executable Versions.
You may distribute the Executable form of
the Covered Software
under the terms of this License or under the
terms of 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 form does not attempt to
limit or alter the recipients
rights in the Source Code form from
the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Covered
Software in Executable
form 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 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.
3.6. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work
by combining Covered Software
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 Software.
4. Versions of the License.
4.1. New Versions.
Sun Microsystems, Inc. is
the initial license steward and may publish
revised and/or new
versions of this License from time to time.
Each version will be
given a distinguishing version number.
Except as provided in
Section 4.3, no one other than the license
steward has the right
to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may
always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered
Software available under the terms of the version of the License
under
which You originally received the Covered Software. If the
Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software
prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
available
under any subsequent version of the License, You must
distribute
and make the Covered Software available under the
terms of the
version of the License under which You originally
received the
Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to
use,
distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available
under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
published by the license steward.
4.3. Modified Versions.
When You
are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license
for Your Original Software, You may create and use a modified
version
of this License if You: (a) rename the license and remove
any
references to the name of the license steward (except to note
that the
license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise
make it
clear that the license contains terms which differ from
this License.
5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED SOFTWARE 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 SOFTWARE 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
SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE 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 OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED
HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
6. TERMINATION.
6.1. 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. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect
beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
6.2. If You assert a
patent infringement claim (excluding
declaratory judgment
actions) against Initial Developer or a
Contributor (the Initial
Developer or Contributor against whom
You assert such claim is
referred to as Participant) alleging
that the Participant
Software (meaning the Contributor Version
where the Participant
is a Contributor or the Original Software
where the Participant
is the Initial Developer) directly or
indirectly infringes any
patent, then any and all rights
granted directly or indirectly to
You by such Participant,
the Initial Developer (if the Initial
Developer is not the
Participant) and all Contributors under
Sections 2.1 and/or
2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
notice from Participant
terminate prospectively and automatically
at the expiration
of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
such 60 day
period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
Participant
Software against such Participant either unilaterally
or
pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.
6.3. In the
event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
all end
user licenses that have been validly granted by You or
any
distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding
licenses
granted to You by any distributor) shall survive
termination.
7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
COVERED SOFTWARE, 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 LOST PROFITS, 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 PARTYS NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
APPLY TO YOU.
8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Software is a commercial item, as that term is defined
in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of commercial computer
software (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R.
252.227-7014(a)(1))
and commercial computer software documentation as such terms are
used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R.
12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only
those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights clause
is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause
or provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
under this License.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
matter hereof. 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. This License shall be
governed by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice
contained within the Original Software (except to the extent
applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding such
jurisdictions conflict-of-law provisions. Any litigation
relating
to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the
courts located in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a
notice contained within the Original Software, with the losing
party responsible for costs, including, without limitation,
court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses. The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law
or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License. You agree that You alone are responsible for compliance
with the United States export administration regulations (and the
export control laws and regulation of any other countries) when
You use, distribute or otherwise make available any Covered
Software.
10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
indirectly,
out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended
or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
