|
2 is below. |

|
4 Note on GPL Compatibility |
|
5 ------------------------- |
|
6 |
|
7 The MPL 2, section 3.3, permits you to combine NSS with code under the GNU |
|
8 General Public License (GPL) version 2, or any later version of that |
|
9 license, to make a Larger Work, and distribute the result under the GPL. |
|
10 The only condition is that you must also make NSS, and any changes you |
|
11 have made to it, available to recipients under the terms of the MPL 2 also. |
|
12 |
|
13 Anyone who receives the combined code from you does not have to continue |
|
14 to dual licence in this way, and may, if they wish, distribute under the |
|
15 terms of either of the two licences - either the MPL alone or the GPL |
|
16 alone. However, we discourage people from distributing copies of NSS under |
|
17 the GPL alone, because it means that any improvements they make cannot be |
|
18 reincorporated into the main version of NSS. There is never a need to do |
|
19 this for license compatibility reasons. |
|
20 |
|
21 Note on LGPL Compatibility |
|
22 -------------------------- |
|
23 |
|
24 The above also applies to combining MPLed code in a single library with |
|
25 code under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1, or |
|
26 any later version of that license. If the LGPLed code and the MPLed code |
|
27 are not in the same library, then the copyleft coverage of the two |
|
28 licences does not overlap, so no issues arise. |

|
134 2.2. Effective Date |
|
135 |
|
136 The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution |

|
139 |
|
140 2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope |
|
141 |
|
142 The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under |
|
143 this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the |
|
144 distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License. |
|
145 Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a |
|
146 Contributor: |
|
147 |
|
148 (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; |

|
162 |
|
163 2.4. Subsequent Licenses |
|
164 |
|
165 No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to |
|
166 distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this |
|
167 License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if |
|
168 permitted under the terms of Section 3.3). |
|
169 |
|
170 2.5. Representation |
|
171 |
|
172 Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its |
|
173 Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights |
|
174 to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License. |
|
175 |
|
176 2.6. Fair Use |
|
177 |
|

|
181 |
|
182 2.7. Conditions |
|
183 |
|
184 Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted |
|
185 in Section 2.1. |
|
186 |
|
187 3. Responsibilities |
|
188 ------------------- |
|
189 |
|
190 3.1. Distribution of Source Form |
|
191 |
|
192 All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any |
|
193 Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under |
|
194 the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source |
|
195 Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this |
|
196 License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not |
|
197 attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code |
|
198 Form. |
|
199 |
|
200 3.2. Distribution of Executable Form |
|
201 |
|
202 If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then: |
|
203 |
|
204 (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code |
|
205 Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of |
|
206 the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code |
|
207 Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more |
|
208 than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and |
|
209 |
|
210 (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this |
|
211 License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the |
|
212 license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter |
|
213 the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License. |
|
214 |
|
215 3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work |
|
216 |
|
217 You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, |
|
218 provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for |
|
219 the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered |
|
220 Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the |
|
221 Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this |
|
222 License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software |
|
223 under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of |
|
224 the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered |
|
225 Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary |
|
226 License(s). |
|
227 |
|
228 3.4. Notices |
|
229 |
|
230 You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices |
|
231 (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, |
|
232 or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of |
|
233 the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to |
|
234 the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies. |
|
235 |
|
236 3.5. Application of Additional Terms |
|
237 |
|
238 You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, |
|
239 indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered |
|
240 Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on |
|
241 behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any |
|
242 such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by |
|
243 You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any |
|
244 liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, |
|
245 indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional |
|
246 disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any |
|
247 jurisdiction. |
|
248 |
|
249 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation |
|
250 --------------------------------------------------- |
|
251 |
|
252 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 Software due to |
|
254 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with |
|
255 the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) |
|
256 describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must |
|
257 be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered |
|
258 Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute |
|
259 or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a |
|
260 recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it. |
|
261 |
|
262 5. Termination |
|
263 -------------- |
|
264 |
|
265 5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically |
|
266 if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become |
|
267 compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular |
|
268 Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such |
|
269 Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an |
|
270 ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the |
|
271 non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have |
|
272 come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular |
|
273 Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor |
|
274 notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the |
|
275 first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License |
|
276 from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after |
|
277 Your receipt of the notice. |
|
278 |
|
279 5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent |
|
280 infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions, |
|
281 counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version |
|
282 directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to |
|
283 You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section |
|
284 2.1 of this License shall terminate. |
|
285 |
|
286 5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all |
|
287 end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which |
|
288 have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License |
|
289 prior to termination shall survive termination. |

296 * Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" * |

315 * Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort * |

333 8. Litigation |
|
334 ------------- |
|
335 |
|
336 Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the |
|
337 courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal |
|
338 place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that |
|
339 jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. |
|
340 Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring |
|
341 cross-claims or counter-claims. |
|
342 |
|
343 9. Miscellaneous |
|
344 ---------------- |
|
345 |
|
346 This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject |
|
347 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be |
|
348 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent |
|
349 necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides |
|
350 that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter |
|
351 shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor. |
|
352 |
|
353 10. Versions of the License |
|
354 --------------------------- |
|
355 |
|
356 10.1. New Versions |
|
357 |
|
358 Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section |
|
359 10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or |
|
360 publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a |
|
361 distinguishing version number. |
|
362 |
|
363 10.2. Effect of New Versions |
|
364 |
|
365 You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version |
|
366 of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software, |
|
367 or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license |
|
368 steward. |
|
369 |
|
370 10.3. Modified Versions |
|
371 |
|
372 If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to |
|
373 create a new license for such software, you may create and use a |
|
374 modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove |
|
375 any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that |
|
376 such modified license differs from this License). |
|
377 |
|
378 10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary |
|
379 Licenses |
|
380 |
|
381 If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With |
|
382 Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the |
|
383 notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached. |

392 If it is not possible or desirable to put the notice in a particular |
|
393 file, then You may include the notice in a location (such as a LICENSE |
|
394 file in a relevant directory) where a recipient would be likely to look |
