Terms
and conditions for copying, distributing, and modifying
Items other
than copying, distributing, and modifying the Content with which this
license was distributed (such as using, etc.) are outside the scope
of this license.
1. You
may copy and distribute exact replicas of the OpenContent (OC) as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer
of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of
the OC a copy of this License along with the OC. You may at your option
charge a fee for the media and/or handling involved in creating a unique
copy of the OC for use offline, you may at your option offer instructional
support for the OC in exchange for a fee, or you may at your option
offer warranty in exchange for a fee. You may not charge a fee for the
OC itself. You may not charge a fee for the sole service of providing
access to and/or use of the OC via a network (e.g. the Internet), whether
it be via the World Wide Web, FTP, or any other method.
2. You
may modify your copy or copies of the OpenContent or any portion of
it, thus forming works based on the Content, and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet
all of these conditions:
a) You
must cause the modified content to carry prominent notices stating that
you changed it, the exact nature and content of the changes, and the
date of any change.
b) You
must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
in part contains or is derived from the OC or any part thereof, to be
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms
of this License, unless otherwise permitted under applicable Fair Use
law.
These requirements
apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that
work are not derived from the OC, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
which is a work based on the OC, the distribution of the whole must
be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless
of who wrote it. Exceptions are made to this requirement to release
modified works free of charge under this license only in compliance
with Fair Use law where applicable.
3. You
are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to copy, distribute or modify
the OC. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
License. Therefore, by distributing or translating the OC, or by deriving
works herefrom, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so,
and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or translating
the OC.
NO WARRANTY
4. BECAUSE
THE OPENCONTENT (OC) IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE OC, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE
THE OC "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK
OF USE OF THE OC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE OC PROVE FAULTY, INACCURATE,
OR OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY REPAIR
OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT
UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MIRROR AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE OC
AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE OC, EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
