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.

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

prior to termination (excluding licenses granted to You by any distributor)
shall survive termination.

POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO
LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTYS NEGLIGENCE TO

provision that addresses Government rights in computer software under this
License.

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

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

deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
