</UL>
</UL>
<B>3. Distribution Obligations.</B>
<UL>
<B>3.1. Application of License.</B>
<BR>The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
Section <B>2.2</B>. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of
this License released under Section <B>6.1</B>, and You must include a
copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License
or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an
additional document offering the additional rights described in Section
<B>3.5</B>.
<P><B>3.2. Availability of Source Code.</B>
<BR>Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either
on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic
Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism,
must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date it
initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent
version of that particular Modification has been made available to such
recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version
remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
maintained by a third party.
<P><B>3.3. Description of Modifications.</B>
<BR>You must cause all Covered Code to which you contribute to contain a
file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the
date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the
Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code
provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable
version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or
ownership of the Covered Code.
<P><B>3.4. Intellectual Property Matters</B>
<UL>
<P><B>(a) Third Party Claims</B>.
<BR>If You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual
property right in particular functionality or code (or its
utilization under this License), you must include a text file with
the source code distribution titled ``LEGAL'' which describes the
claim and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a
recipient will know whom to contact. If you obtain such knowledge
after You make Your Modification available as described in Section
<B>3.2</B>, You shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
You make available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as
notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably
calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new
knowledge has been obtained.
<P><B>(b) Contributor APIs</B>.
<BR>If Your Modification is an application programming interface and
You own or control patents which are reasonably necessary to
implement that API, you must also include this information in the
LEGAL file.
</UL>
<P><B>3.5. Required Notices.</B>
<BR>You must duplicate the notice in <B>Exhibit A</B> in each file of the
Source Code, and this License in any documentation for the Source Code,
where You describe recipients' rights relating to Covered Code. If You
created one or more Modification(s), You may add your name as a
Contributor to the notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B>. If it is not
possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its
structure, then you must include such notice in a location (such as a
relevant directory file) where a user would be likely to look for such a
notice. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty,
support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
Covered Code. 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 than 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.
<P><B>3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.</B>
<BR>You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
requirements of Section <B>3.1-3.5</B> have been met for that Covered
Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including
a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of
Section <B>3.2</B>. The notice must be conspicuously included in any
notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in
which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You
may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code under 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 version does not attempt to limit or
alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights
set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version 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 any 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.
<P><B>3.7. Larger Works.</B>
<BR>You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code 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 Code.
</UL>
<B>4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.</B>
<UL>
<P>If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute or
regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to
the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the
code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file
described in Section <B>3.4</B> and must be included with all
distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by
statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for
a recipient of ordinary skill
to be able to understand it.
</UL>
<B>5. Application of this License.</B>
<UL>
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached
the notice in <B>Exhibit A</B>, and to related Covered Code.
</UL>
<B>6. Versions of the License.</B>
<UL>
<B>6.1. New Versions</B>.
<BR>Netscape Communications Corporation (``Netscape'') may publish
revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number.
<P><B>6.2. Effect of New Versions</B>.
<BR>Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of
the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of
any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other
than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered
Code created under this License.
<P><B>6.3. Derivative Works</B>.
<BR>If you create or use a modified version of this License (which you
may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered
Code governed by this License), you must (a) rename Your license so that
the phrases ``Mozilla'', ``MOZILLAPL'', ``MOZPL'', ``Netscape'', ``NPL''
or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear anywhere in your license
and (b) otherwise make it clear that your version of the license contains
terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public
License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or
Contributor in the notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B> shall not of
themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
</UL>
<B>7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.</B>
<UL>
COVERED CODE 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 CODE 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 CODE IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE 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 CODE
IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
</UL>
<B>8. TERMINATION.</B>
<UL>
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. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive
any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must
remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
</UL>
<B>9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.</B>
<UL>
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING
NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY
OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF
ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR 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
PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THAT EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION
MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
</UL>
<B>10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.</B>
<UL>
The Covered Code is a ``commercial item,'' as that term is defined in 48
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of ``commercial computer software''
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 Code with only those rights set
forth herein.
</UL>
<B>11. MISCELLANEOUS.</B>
<UL>
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 California law provisions
(except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise),
excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in
which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or
registered to do business in, the United States of America: (a) unless
otherwise agreed in writing, all disputes relating to this License
(excepting any dispute relating to intellectual property rights) shall be
subject to final and binding arbitration, with the losing party paying
all costs of arbitration; (b) any arbitration relating to this Agreement
shall be held in Santa Clara County, California, under the auspices of
JAMS/EndDispute; and (c) any litigation relating to this Agreement shall
be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
California, 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.
</UL>
<B>12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.</B>
<UL>
Except in cases where another Contributor has failed to comply with
Section <B>3.4</B>, You are responsible for damages arising, directly or
indirectly, out of Your utilization of rights under this License, based
on the number of copies of Covered Code you made available, the revenues
you received from utilizing such rights, and other relevant factors. You
agree to work with affected parties to distribute responsibility on an
equitable basis.
