Server Side Public License
|
|
VERSION 1, OCTOBER 16, 2018
|
|
|
|
Copyright © 2018 MongoDB, Inc.
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
“This License” refers to Server Side Public License.
|
|
|
|
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
|
works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
|
License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
|
|
“recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
|
|
|
|
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
|
|
a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
|
|
exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the
|
|
earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on
|
|
the Program.
|
|
|
|
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
|
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
|
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
|
|
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
|
|
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
|
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
|
|
|
|
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
|
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a
|
|
computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
|
|
|
|
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
|
|
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
|
|
(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that
|
|
there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties
|
|
are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and
|
|
how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of
|
|
user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list
|
|
meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
1. Source Code.
|
|
|
|
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
|
|
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
|
|
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is
|
|
widely used among developers working in that language. The “System
|
|
Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as
|
|
a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
|
|
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves
|
|
only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement
|
|
a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the
|
|
public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a
|
|
major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
|
|
specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or
|
|
a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used
|
|
to run it.
|
|
|
|
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
|
|
source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run
|
|
the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control
|
|
those activities. However, it does not include the work's System
|
|
Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs
|
|
which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are
|
|
not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes
|
|
interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
|
|
the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms
|
|
that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate
|
|
data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
|
|
parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
|
|
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
|
|
|
|
2. Basic Permissions.
|
|
|
|
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
|
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
|
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
|
|
permission to run the unmodified Program, subject to section 13. The
|
|
output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the
|
|
output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
|
|
acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
|
|
copyright law. Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate
|
|
covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your
|
|
license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to
|
|
others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
|
|
for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
|
|
that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
|
|
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or
|
|
running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
|
|
behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them
|
|
from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
|
|
relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
|
|
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
|
|
unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
|
|
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
|
|
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11
|
|
of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws
|
|
prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
|
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
|
|
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the
|
|
covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
|
|
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users,
|
|
your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
|
|
technological measures.
|
|
|
|
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
|
|
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
|
|
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
|
|
intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms
|
|
added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices
|
|
of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this
|
|
License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for
|
|
each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty
|
|
protection for a fee.
|
|
|
|
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
|
|
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
|
|
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms
|
|
of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
|
|
and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
|
|
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
|
|
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
|
|
notices”.
|
|
|
|
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
|
|
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
|
|
apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the
|
|
whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
|
|
packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any
|
|
other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
|
|
separately received it.
|
|
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
|
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
|
|
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
|
|
need not make them do so.
|
|
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
|
|
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and
|
|
which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on
|
|
a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if
|
|
the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the
|
|
access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the
|
|
individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does
|
|
not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
|
|
|
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
|
|
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
|
|
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
|
|
ways:
|
|
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
|
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
|
|
used for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
|
|
offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
|
|
offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
|
|
anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
|
|
Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
|
|
covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
|
|
for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost
|
|
of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to
|
|
copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
|
|
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
|
|
allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received
|
|
the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
|
|
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
|
|
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
|
|
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
|
|
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
|
|
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on
|
|
a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
|
|
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
|
|
next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
|
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
|
|
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
|
|
satisfy these requirements.
|
|
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
|
|
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
|
|
the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
|
|
subsection 6d.
|
|
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
|
|
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included
|
|
in conveying the object code work.
|
|
|
|
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
|
|
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
|
|
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
|
|
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
|
|
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
|
|
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a
|
|
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
|
|
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
|
|
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
|
|
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
|
|
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
|
|
the only significant mode of use of the product.
|
|
|
|
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
|
|
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
|
|
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
|
|
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
|
|
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
|
|
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
|
|
modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
|
|
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part
|
|
of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User
|
|
Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
|
|
(regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
|
|
Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the
|
|
Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither
|
|
you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object
|
|
code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in
|
|
ROM).
|
|
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
|
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
|
|
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
|
|
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access
|
|
to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially
|
|
and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the
|
|
rules and protocols for communication across the network.
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
|
|
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
|
|
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form),
|
|
and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
|
|
copying.
|
|
|
|
7. Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
|
|
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
|
|
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be
|
|
treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
|
|
they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only
|
|
to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those
|
|
permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
|
|
without regard to the additional permissions. When you convey a copy of
|
|
a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions
|
|
from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be
|
|
written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the
|
|
work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to
|
|
a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
|
|
permission.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
|
|
to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
|
|
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
|
|
|
|
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
|
|
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
|
|
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
|
|
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
|
|
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
|
|
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
|
|
|
|
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
|
|
authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
|
|
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
|
|
|
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material
|
|
by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
|
|
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
|
|
liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
|
|
licensors and authors.
|
|
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
|
|
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
|
|
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
|
|
governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
|
|
you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
|
|
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
|
|
may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
|
|
document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
|
|
relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must
|
|
place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms
|
|
that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the
|
|
applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be
|
|
stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as
|
|
exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
|
|
|
|
8. Termination.
|
|
|
|
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
|
|
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify
|
|
it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
|
|
License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph
|
|
of section 11).
|
|
|
|
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
|
|
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
|
|
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates
|
|
your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to
|
|
notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days
|
|
after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
|
|
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
|
|
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of
|
|
violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and
|
|
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
|
|
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
|
|
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
|
|
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
|
|
material under section 10.
|
|
|
|
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
|
|
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
|
|
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
|
|
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a
|
|
copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
|
|
this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
|
|
work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
|
|
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
|
|
acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
|
|
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
|
|
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives
|
|
a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
|
|
work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing
|
|
compliance by third parties with this License.
|
|
|
|
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
|
|
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
|
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work
|
|
results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who
|
|
receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work
|
|
the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous
|
|
paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
|
|
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can
|
|
get it with reasonable efforts.
|
|
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
|
|
granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
|
|
license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted
|
|
under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a
|
|
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim
|
|
is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing
|
|
the Program or any portion of it.
|
|
|
|
11. Patents.
|
|
|
|
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
|
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work
|
|
thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
|
|
|
|
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
|
|
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter
|
|
acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this
|
|
License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not
|
|
include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
|
|
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition,
|
|
“control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
|
|
consistent with the requirements of this License.
|
|
|
|
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
|
|
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make,
|
|
use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate
|
|
the contents of its contributor version.
|
|
|
|
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
|
|
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
|
|
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
|
|
sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party
|
|
means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent
|
|
against the party.
|
|
|
|
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and
|
|
the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy,
|
|
free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly
|
|
available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must
|
|
either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2)
|
|
arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this
|
|
particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the
|
|
requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
|
|
recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
|
|
for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or
|
|
your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe
|
|
one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason
|
|
to believe are valid.
|
|
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
|
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
|
|
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving
|
|
the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a
|
|
specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is
|
|
automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works
|
|
based on it.
|
|
|
|
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
|
|
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
|
|
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
|
|
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are
|
|
a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of
|
|
distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party
|
|
based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under
|
|
which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the
|
|
covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
|
|
with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
|
|
those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
|
|
products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
|
|
entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior
|
|
to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any
|
|
implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
|
|
available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
|
|
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
|
|
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use,
|
|
propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
|
|
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
|
|
as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For
|
|
example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
|
|
further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way
|
|
you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain
|
|
entirely from conveying the Program.
|
|
|
|
13. Offering the Program as a Service.
|
|
|
|
If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version
|
|
available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source
|
|
Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the
|
|
terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or
|
|
modified version available to third parties as a service includes,
|
|
without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the
|
|
functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a
|
|
computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or
|
|
primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or
|
|
offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the
|
|
Program or modified version.
|
|
|
|
“Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or
|
|
the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that
|
|
you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service,
|
|
including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces,
|
|
application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software,
|
|
backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a
|
|
user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code
|
|
you make available.
|
|
|
|
14. Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
|
|
MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server Side
|
|
Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
|
|
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
|
|
problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
specifies that a certain numbered version of the Server Side Public
|
|
License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of
|
|
any later version published by MongoDB, Inc. If the Program does not
|
|
specify a version number of the Server Side Public License, you may
|
|
choose any version ever published by MongoDB, Inc.
|
|
|
|
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
|
|
the Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
|
|
of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that
|
|
version for the Program.
|
|
|
|
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
|
|
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder
|
|
as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
|
|
|
|
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
|
|
|
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
|
|
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
|
|
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
|
|
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
|
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
|
|
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
|
|
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
16. Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
|
|
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
|
|
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
|
|
THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
|
|
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
|
|
OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
|
|
|
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above
|
|
cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing
|
|
courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute
|
|
waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
|
|
warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in
|
|
return for a fee.
|
|
