- DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
- 3.1
- Application of License
The Modifications which You create or to which
You contribute are governed by the terms of this
License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The
Source Code version of Covered Software may be
distributed only under the terms of this License or a
future version of this License released under Section
6.1, 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.
- 3.2
- Availability of Source Code
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.
- 3.3
- Description of Modifications
You must cause all Covered Software to which You
contribute to contain a file documenting the changes
You made to create that Covered Software and the
date of any change. You must include a prominent
statement that the Modification is derived, directly or
indirectly, from Original Software provided by the
Australian National University and including the name
of the Australian National University 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 Software.
- 3.4
- Intellectual Property Matters
a) Third Party Claims
If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a
third party's intellectual property rights is required to
exercise the rights granted by such Contributor
under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor 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 Contributor obtains such knowledge
after the Modification is made available as
described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly
modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor
makes available thereafter and shall take other steps (such
as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
reasonably calculated to inform those who received the
Covered Software that new knowledge has been
obtained.
b) Contributor APIs
If Contributor's Modifications include an
application programming interface (API) and
Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which
are reasonably necessary to implement that API,
Contributor must also include this information in
the LEGAL file.
c) Representations
Contributor represents that, except as disclosed
pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor
believes that Contributor's Modifications are
Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the
rights conveyed by this License.
- 3.5
- Required Notices
You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file
of the Source Code. 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) where a user would be
likely to look for such a notice. If You created one or
more Modification(s) You may add your name as a
Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit
A. You must also duplicate this License in any
documentation for the Source Code where You
describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to
Covered Software. 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 Australian National
University 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 Australian
National University and every Contributor for any
liability incurred by the Australian National
University or such Contributor as a result of
warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
- 3.6
- Distribution of Executable Versions
You may distribute Covered Software in
Executable form only if the requirements of Sections
3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Software, and if
You include a notice stating that the Source
Code version of the Covered Software is available
under the terms of this License, including a
description of how and where You have fulfilled the
obligations of Section 3.2. 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
Software. You may distribute the Executable
version of Covered Software or ownership rights 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
Australian National University or any
Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
Australian National University and every
Contributor for any liability incurred by the
Australian National University or such
Contributor as a result of any such terms You
offer.
- 3.7
- Larger Works
You may create a Larger Work by combining
Covered Software with other software 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.
- INABILITY TO COMPLY DUE TO STATUTE OR REGULATION
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 Software due to statute, judicial order, 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 3.4 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.

This License applies to code to which the
Australian National University has attached the notice in
Exhibit A and to related Covered Software.
- VERSIONS OF THE LICENSE
- 6.1
- New Versions
The Australian National University may publish revised
and/or new versions of the License from time to time.
Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
- 6.2
- Effect of New Versions
Once Covered Software 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 Software
under the terms of any subsequent version of the
License published by the Australian National
University. No one other than the Australian National
University has the right to modify the terms applicable to
Covered Software created under this License.
- 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 AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, ITS LICENSORS OR
AFFILIATES 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.
- TERMINATION
- 8.1
- 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. All sublicenses to the
Covered Software 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.
- 8.2
- If You initiate litigation by asserting a
patent infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment
actions) against the Australian National University or
a Contributor (the Australian National
University or Contributor against whom You file such
action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights
granted by such Participant to You under
Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon
60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You
either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually
agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and
future use of Modifications made by such
Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim
with respect to the Contributor Version against such
Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable
royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed
upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is
not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to
You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically
terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period
specified above.
b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such
Participant's Contributor Version, directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to
You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and
2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You
first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made,
Modifications made by that Participant.
- 8.3
- If You assert a patent infringement claim
against Participant alleging that such Participant's
Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes
any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or
settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement
litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted
by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
into account in determining the amount or value of any payment
or license.
- 8.4
- In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2
above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors
and resellers) which have been validly granted by You
or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall
survive termination.
- LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, 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 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, BUT MAY ALLOW LIABILITY TO BE LIMITED; IN SUCH CASES, A
PARTY'S, ITS EMPLOYEES', LICENSORS' OR AFFILIATES' LIABILITY
SHALL BE LIMITED TO AUD $100. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS LICENSE
SHALL PREJUDICE THE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF ANY PARTY DEALING AS A
CONSUMER.
- MISCELLANEOUS. This License represents the complete
agreement concerning subject matter hereof. All rights in the
Covered Software not expressly granted under this
License are reserved. Nothing in this License
shall grant You any rights to use any of the trademarks
of the Australian National University or any of its
Affiliates, even if any of such trademarks are included in any
part of Covered Software and/or documentation to it.
This License is governed by the laws of the Australian
Capital Territory excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. All
disputes or litigation arising from or relating to this
Agreement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court of the Australian Capital Territory. If any part of this
Agreement is found void and unenforceable, it will not affect
the validity of the balance of the Agreement, which shall remain
valid and enforceable according to its terms.
- RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS
As between the Australian National University and the
Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and
damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilisation
of rights under this License and You agree to work
with the Australian National University and
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an
equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed
to constitute any admission of liability.
