</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><b>3. Distribution Obligations.</b></p>
<ul>
<li>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 Code 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.
However, You may include an additional document offering the additional
rights described in Section 3.5.
</li><li>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.
</li><li>3.3 Description of Modifications. 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.
</li><li>3.4 Intellectual Property Matters.
<ul>
<li>(a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has actual 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.
</li><li>(b) Contributor API's. If Contributor's Modifications include an
application programming interface and Contributor has actual knowledge
of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API,
Contributor must also include this information in the LEGAL file.
</li><li>(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)
this License.</li>
</ul>
</li><li>3.5 Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in <b>Exhibit A</b> 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
most 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 <b>Exhibit A. </b>You must also duplicate this License in any
documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or
ownership rights relating to Covered Code. 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 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
(excluding any liability arising from intellectual property claims relating
to the Covered Code) incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor
as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
</li><li>3.6 Distribution of Executable Versions. 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
obligation 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 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 Initial
Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
Developer and every Contributor for any liability (excluding any liability
arising from intellectual property claims relating to the Covered Code)
incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
such terms You offer.
</li><li>3.7 Larger Works. 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.</li>
</ul>
<p><b>4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.</b> 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, 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.</p>
<p><b>5. Application of this License.</b> This License applies to code to which
the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related
Covered Code.</p>
<p><b>6. Versions of the License.</b></p>
<ul>
<li>6.1 New Versions. The Storage Networking Industry Association (the
from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version
number.
</li><li>6.2 Effect of New Versions. 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 the
SNIA. No one other than the SNIA has the right to modify the terms
applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
</li><li>6.3 Derivative Works. 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 "Storage Networking Industry
Association," "SNIA," or any confusingly similar phrase do
not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from
this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the
license contains terms which differ from the SNIA Public License. (Filling
in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the
notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be
modifications of this License.)</li>

automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such
breach within a reasonable time after 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.
</li><li><b>8.2</b> If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or
a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file
such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
<ul>
<li><b>(a)</b> such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
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
automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period
specified above.</li>
</ul>
</li><li><b>8.3</b> 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.
<p> </p>
</li><li><b>8.4</b> 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.</li>
