132    <B>3.1. Application of License.</B>
133
134    <BR>The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
135    governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
136    Section <B>2.2</B>.  The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
137    distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of
138    this License released under Section <B>6.1</B>, and You must include a
139    copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
140    distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
141    version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License
142    or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an
143    additional document offering the additional rights described in Section
144    <B>3.5</B>.
145
146    <P><B>3.2. Availability of Source Code.</B>
147
148    <BR>Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
149    made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either
150    on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic
151    Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version
152    available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism,
153    must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date it
154    initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent
155    version of that particular Modification has been made available to such
156    recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version
157    remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is
158    maintained by a third party.
159
160    <P><B>3.3. Description of Modifications.</B>
161
162    <BR>You must cause all Covered Code to which you contribute to contain a
163    file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the
164    date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the
165    Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code
166    provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial
167    Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable
168    version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or
169    ownership of the Covered Code.
170
171    <P><B>3.4. Intellectual Property Matters</B>
172    <UL>
173
174        <P><B>(a) Third Party Claims</B>.
175
176        <BR>If You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual
177        property right in particular functionality or code (or its
178        utilization under this License), you must include a text file with
179        the source code distribution titled ``LEGAL'' which describes the
180        claim and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a
181        recipient will know whom to contact. If you obtain such knowledge
182        after You make Your Modification available as described in Section
183        <B>3.2</B>, You shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
184        You make available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as
185        notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably
186        calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new
187        knowledge has been obtained.
188
189        <P><B>(b) Contributor APIs</B>.
190
191        <BR>If Your Modification is an application programming interface and
192        You own or control patents which are reasonably necessary to
193        implement that API, you must also include this information in the
194        LEGAL file.
195
196    </UL>
197
198    <P><B>3.5. Required Notices.</B>
199
200    <BR>You must duplicate the notice in <B>Exhibit A</B> in each file of the
201    Source Code, and this License in any documentation for the Source Code,
202    where You describe recipients' rights relating to Covered Code. If You
203    created one or more Modification(s), You may add your name as a
204    Contributor to the notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B>. If it is not
205    possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its
206    structure, then you must include such notice in a location (such as a
207    relevant directory file) where a user would be likely to look for such a
208    notice.  You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty,
209    support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
210    Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
211    behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.  You must make it
212    absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability
213    obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the
214    Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
215    Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
216    indemnity or liability terms You offer.
217
218    <P><B>3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.</B>
219
220    <BR>You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
221    requirements of Section <B>3.1-3.5</B> have been met for that Covered
222    Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
223    the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including
224    a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of
225    Section <B>3.2</B>.  The notice must be conspicuously included in any
226    notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in
227    which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You
228    may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code under a license of
229    Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
230    provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and
231    that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or
232    alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights
233    set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under
234    a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms
235    which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the
236    Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
237    Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
238    Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You
239    offer.
240
241    <P><B>3.7. Larger Works.</B>
242
243    <BR>You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other
244    code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
245    Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
246    requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
247
248</UL>
249<B>4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.</B>
250<UL>
251
252    <P>If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
253    License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute or
254    regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to
255    the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the
256    code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file
257    described in Section <B>3.4</B> and must be included with all
258    distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by
259    statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for
260    a recipient of ordinary skill
261    to be able to understand it.

263</UL>
264<B>5. Application of this License.</B>
265<UL>
266
267    This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached

276    <BR>Netscape Communications Corporation (``Netscape'') may publish
277    revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time.  Each
278    version will be given a distinguishing version number.
279
280    <P><B>6.2. Effect of New Versions</B>.
281
282    <BR>Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of
283    the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
284    version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of
285    any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other
286    than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered
287    Code created under this License.
288
289    <P><B>6.3. Derivative Works</B>.
290
291    <BR>If you create or use a modified version of this License (which you
292    may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered
293    Code governed by this License), you must (a) rename Your license so that
294    the phrases ``Mozilla'', ``MOZILLAPL'', ``MOZPL'', ``Netscape'', ``NPL''
295    or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear anywhere in your license
296    and (b) otherwise make it clear that your version of the license contains
297    terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public
298    License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or
299    Contributor in the notice described in <B>Exhibit A</B> shall not of
300    themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
301
302</UL>

308    WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS,
309    MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE
310    RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH
311    YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE
312    INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
313    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
314    CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE
315    IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
316
317</UL>
318<B>8. TERMINATION.</B>
319<UL>
320
321    This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
322    automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
323    such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
324    sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive
325    any termination of this License.  Provisions which, by their nature, must
326    remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.

338    STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER

340    OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL
341    NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
342    PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
343    LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION

345    MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

351    The Covered Code is a ``commercial item,'' as that term is defined in 48
352    C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of ``commercial computer software''
353    and ``commercial computer software documentation,'' as such terms are
354    used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212

361<UL>
362
363    This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter
364    hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable,
365    such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
366    enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions
367    (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise),
368    excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in
369    which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or
370    registered to do business in, the United States of America: (a) unless
371    otherwise agreed in writing, all disputes relating to this License

373    subject to final and binding arbitration, with the losing party paying
374    all costs of arbitration; (b) any arbitration relating to this Agreement

393    on the number of copies of Covered Code you made available, the revenues
394    you received from utilizing such rights, and other relevant factors. You
395    agree to work with affected parties to distribute responsibility on an
