 112          and/or otherwise dispose of the Original Code (or
 113          portions thereof). 
 114          
 115          (c) the licenses granted in this Section 2.1(a)
 116          and (b) are effective on the date Initial
 117          Developer first distributes Original Code under
 118          the terms of this License.
 119          
 120          (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no

 125          Code or ii) the combination of the Original Code
 126          with other software or devices. 
 127   
 128      2.2. Contributor Grant. 
 129      Subject to third party intellectual property claims,
 130      each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide,
 131      royalty-free, non-exclusive license 
 132    
 133          (a)  under intellectual property rights (other

 137          Modifications created by such Contributor (or
 138          portions thereof) either on an unmodified basis,
 139          with other Modifications, as Covered Code and/or
 140          as part of a Larger Work;
 141          and
 142          
 143          (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making,
 144          using, or selling of  Modifications made by that
 145          Contributor either alone and/or in combination
 146          with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
 147          combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale,
 148          have made, and/or otherwise dispose of: 1)
 149          Modifications made by that Contributor (or

 151          Modifications made by that Contributor with its
 152          Contributor Version (or portions of such
 153          combination). 
 154          
 155          (c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and
 156          2.2(b) are effective on the date Contributor
 157          first makes Commercial Use of the Covered Code. 
 158          
 159          (d)    Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no
 160          patent license is granted: 1) for any code that
 161          Contributor has deleted from the Contributor
 162          Version; 2)  separate from the Contributor
 163          Version;  3)  for infringements caused by: i)
 164          third party modifications of Contributor Version
 165          or ii)  the combination of Modifications made by
 166          that Contributor with other software  (except as
 167          part of the Contributor Version) or other
 168          devices; or 4) under Patent Claims infringed by
 169          Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made
 170          by that Contributor.
 171  
 172  
 173  3. Distribution Obligations. 
 174  
 175      3.1. Application of License. 
 176      The Modifications which You create or to which You
 177      contribute are governed by the terms of this License,
 178      including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source
 179      Code version of Covered Code may be distributed only
 180      under the terms of this License or a future version of
 181      this License released under Section 6.1, and You must
 182      include a copy of this License with every copy of the
 183      Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or
 184      impose any terms on any Source Code version that
 185      alters or restricts the applicable version of this
 186      License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However,
 187      You may include an additional document offering the
 188      additional rights described in Section 3.5.
 189      
 190      3.2. Availability of Source Code. 
 191      Any Modification which You create or to which You
 192      contribute must be made available in Source Code form
 193      under the terms of this License either on the same
 194      media as an Executable version or via an accepted
 195      Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom
 196      you made an Executable version available; and if made
 197      available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must
 198      remain available for at least twelve (12) months after
 199      the date it initially became available, or at least
 200      six (6) months after a subsequent version of that
 201      particular Modification has been made available to
 202      such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that
 203      the Source Code version remains available even if the
 204      Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a
 205      third party. 
 206  
 207      3.3. Description of Modifications. 
 208      You must cause all Covered Code to which You
 209      contribute to contain a file documenting the changes
 210      You made to create that Covered Code and the date of
 211      any change. You must include a prominent statement
 212      that the Modification is derived, directly or
 213      indirectly, from Original Code provided by the Initial
 214      Developer and including the name of the Initial
 215      Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any
 216      notice in an Executable version or related
 217      documentation in which You describe the origin or
 218      ownership of the Covered Code. 
 219  
 220      3.4. Intellectual Property Matters 
 221          (a) Third Party Claims. 
 222          If Contributor has knowledge that a license under
 223          a third party's intellectual property rights is
 224          required to exercise the rights granted by such
 225          Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
 226          Contributor must include a text file with the
 227          Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL'' which
 228          describes the claim and the party making the
 229          claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will
 230          know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such
 231          knowledge after the Modification is made
 232          available as described in Section 3.2,
 233          Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file
 234          in all copies Contributor makes available
 235          thereafter and shall take other steps (such as
 236          notifying appropriate mailing lists or
 237          newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those
 238          who received the Covered Code that new knowledge
 239          has been obtained.
 240          
 241          (b) Contributor APIs. 
 242          If Contributor's Modifications include an
 243          application programming interface and Contributor
 244          has knowledge of patent licenses which are
 245          reasonably necessary to implement that API,
 246          Contributor must also include this information in
 247          the LEGAL file. 
 248          
 249          (c) Representations. 
 250          Contributor represents that, except as disclosed
 251          pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor
 252          believes that Contributor's Modifications are
 253          Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
 254          Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the
 255          rights conveyed by this License.
 256  
 257      3.5. Required Notices. 
 258      You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each
 259      file of the Source Code.  If it is not possible to put
 260      such notice in a particular Source Code file due to
 261      its structure, then You must include such notice in a
 262      location (such as a relevant directory) where a user
 263      would be likely to look for such a notice.  If You
 264      created one or more Modification(s) You may add your
 265      name as a Contributor to the notice described in
 266      Exhibit A.  You must also duplicate this License in
 267      any documentation for the Source Code where You
 268      describe recipients' rights or ownership rights
 269      relating to Covered Code.  You may choose to offer,
 270      and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity
 271      or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
 272      Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own
 273      behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or
 274      any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear
 275      than any such warranty, support, indemnity or
 276      liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
 277      hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and
 278      every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
 279      Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of
 280      warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You
 281      offer. 
 282  
 283      3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. 
 284      You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form
 285      only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been
 286      met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice
 287      stating that the Source Code version of the Covered
 288      Code is available under the terms of this License,
 289      including a description of how and where You have
 290      fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice
 291      must be conspicuously included in any notice in an
 292      Executable version, related documentation or
 293      collateral in which You describe recipients' rights
 294      relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the
 295      Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights
 296      under a license of Your choice, which may contain
 297      terms different from this License, provided that You
 298      are in compliance with the terms of this License and
 299      that the license for the Executable version does not
 300      attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in
 301      the Source Code version from the rights set forth in
 302      this License. If You distribute the Executable version
 303      under a different license You must make it absolutely
 304      clear that any terms which differ from this License
 305      are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer
 306      or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
 307      Initial Developer and every Contributor for any
 308      liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such
 309      Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer. 
 310  
 311      3.7. Larger Works. 
 312      You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code
 313      with other code not governed by the terms of this
 314      License and distribute the Larger Work as a single
 315      product. In such a case, You must make sure the
 316      requirements of this License are fulfilled for the
 317      Covered Code.
 318  
 319  
 320  4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
 321  
 322      If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the
 323      terms of this License with respect to some or all of
 324      the Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or
 325      regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of
 326      this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
 327      describe the limitations and the code they affect.
 328      Such description must be included in the LEGAL file
 329      described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all
 330      distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent
 331      prohibited by statute or regulation, such description
 332      must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of
 333      ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
 334  
 335  
 336  5. Application of this License. 
 337  
 338      This License applies to code to which the Initial
 339      Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to
 340      related Covered Code.
 341  
 342  
 343  6. Versions of the License. 
 344  
 345      6.1. New Versions. 
 346      Netscape Communications Corporation (''Netscape'') may
 347      publish revised and/or new versions of the License
 348      from time to time. Each version will be given a
 349      distinguishing version number. 
 350  
 351      6.2. Effect of New Versions. 
 352      Once Covered Code has been published under a
 353      particular version of the License, You may always
 354      continue to use it under the terms of that version.
 355      You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the
 356      terms of any subsequent version of the License
 357      published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has
 358      the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered
 359      Code created under this License. 
 360  
 361      6.3. Derivative Works. 
 362      If You create or use a modified version of this
 363      License (which you may only do in order to apply it to
 364      code which is not already Covered Code governed by
 365      this License), You must (a) rename Your license so
 366      that the phrases ''Mozilla'', ''MOZILLAPL'',
 367      ''MOZPL'', ''Netscape'', "MPL", ''NPL'' or any
 368      confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your
 369      license (except to note that your license differs from
 370      this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that
 371      Your version of the license contains terms which
 372      differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape
 373      Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
 374      Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice
 375      described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be
 376      deemed to be modifications of this License.)
 377  
 378  
 379  7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. 
 380  
 381      COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS
 382      IS'' BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
 383      EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
 384      WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS,
 385      MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-
 386      INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
 387      PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
 388      ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU
 389      (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR)
 390      ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
 391      CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
 392      ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED
 393      CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
 394      DISCLAIMER.
 395  
 396  
 397  8. TERMINATION. 
 398  
 399      8.1.  This License and the rights granted hereunder
 400      will terminate automatically if You fail to comply
 401      with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within
 402      30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
 403      sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly
 404      granted shall survive any termination of this License.
 405      Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in
 406      effect beyond the termination of this License shall
 407      survive.
 408      
 409      8.2.  If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent
 410      infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment
 411      actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor
 412      (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
 413      file such action is referred to as "Participant")
 414      alleging that: 
 415  
 416      (a)  such Participant's Contributor Version directly
 417      or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all
 418      rights granted by such Participant to You under
 419      Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60
 420      days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
 421      unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You
 422      either: (i)  agree in writing to pay Participant a
 423      mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past
 424      and future use of Modifications made by such
 425      Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim
 426      with respect to the Contributor Version against such
 427      Participant.  If within 60 days of notice, a
 428      reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
 429      mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the
 430      litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted
 431      by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2
 432      automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60
 433      day notice period specified above. 
 434      
 435      (b)  any software, hardware, or device, other than
 436      such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or
 437      indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights
 438      granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1
 439      (b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date
 440      You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made,
 441      Modifications made by that Participant. 
 442  
 443      8.3.  If You assert a patent infringement claim
 444      against Participant alleging that such Participant's
 445      Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes
 446      any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
 447      license or settlement) prior to the initiation of
 448      patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable
 449      value of the licenses granted by such Participant
 450      under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account
 451      in determining the amount or value of any payment or
 452      license. 
 453  
 454      8.4.  In the event of termination under Sections 8.1
 455      or 8.2 above,  all end user license agreements
 456      (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been
 457      validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
 458      prior to termination shall survive termination.
 459  
 460  
 461  9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. 
 462  
 463      UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY,
 464      WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR
 465      OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER
 466      CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR
 467      ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY
 468      PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
 469      CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING,
 470      WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
 471      STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND
 472      ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH
 473      PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
 474      SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT
 475      APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
 476      RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
 477      APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME
 478      JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
 479      OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS
 480      EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
 481  
 482  
 483  10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. 
 484  
 485      The Covered Code is a ''commercial item,'' as that
 486      term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995),
 487      consisting of ''commercial computer software'' and
 488      ''commercial computer software documentation,'' as
 489      such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995).
 490      Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R.
 491      227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S.
 492      Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only
 493      those rights set forth herein.
 494  
 495  
 496  11. MISCELLANEOUS. 
 497  
 498      This License represents the complete agreement
 499      concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of
 500      this License is held to be unenforceable, such
 501      provision shall be reformed only to the extent
 502      necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall
 503      be governed by California law provisions (except to
 504      the extent applicable law, if any, provides
 505      otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
 506      With respect to disputes in which at least one party
 507      is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered
 508      to do business in the United States of America, any
 509      litigation relating to this License shall be subject
 510      to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the
 511      Northern District of California, with venue lying in
 512      Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party
 513      responsible for costs, including without limitation,
 514      court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
 515      expenses. The application of the United Nations
 516      Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of
 517      Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation
 518      which provides that the language of a contract shall
 519      be construed against the drafter shall not apply to
 520      this License.
 521  
 522  
 523  12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS. 
 524  
 525      As between Initial Developer and the Contributors,
 526      each party is responsible for claims and damages
 527      arising, directly or indirectly, out of its
 528      utilization of rights under this License and You agree
 529      to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to
 530      distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis.
 531      Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to
 532      constitute any admission of liability.
 533  
 534  
 535  13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE. 
 536  
 537      Initial Developer may designate portions of the
 538      Covered Code as Multiple-Licensed.  Multiple-Licensed
 539      means that the Initial Developer permits you to
 540      utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice
 541      of the NPL or the alternative licenses, if any,
 542      specified by the Initial Developer in the file
 543      described in Exhibit A.
