2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
-a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
-
-b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
-
-c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
-
-d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
+ a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
+ grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright

+ if any, in Source Code or other form. This patent license shall
+ apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at
+ the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition
+ of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the
+ Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
+ combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
+ licensed hereunder.
+
+ c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
+ licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
+ provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
+ patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.

+ brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
+ property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
+ rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
+ assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual
+ property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party
+ patent license is required to allow Recipient to Distribute the
+ Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
+ before distributing the Program.
+
+ d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
+ sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant
+ the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
+
+ e) Notwithstanding the terms of any Secondary License, no
+ Contributor makes additional grants to any Recipient (other than
+ those set forth in this Agreement) as a result of such Recipient's

3. REQUIREMENTS
-A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
-
-a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
-
-b) its license agreement:
+3.1 If a Contributor Distributes the Program in any form, then:
-i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
+ a) the Program must also be made available as Source Code, in
+ accordance with section 3.2, and the Contributor must accompany
+ the Program with a statement that the Source Code for the Program
+ is available under this Agreement, and informs Recipients how to
+ obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
+ used for software exchange; and
-ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+ b) the Contributor may Distribute the Program under a license
+ different than this Agreement, provided that such license:
+ i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all other Contributors all
+ warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
+ warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
+ implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
+ for a particular purpose;
-iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
+ ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all other Contributors all
+ liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
+ incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
-iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+ iii) does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights
+ in the Source Code under section 3.2; and
-When the Program is made available in source code form:
+ iv) requires any subsequent distribution of the Program by any
+ party to be under a license that satisfies the requirements
+ of this section 3.
-a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
+3.2 When the Program is Distributed as Source Code:
-b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
+ a) it must be made available under this Agreement, or if the
+ Program (i) is combined with other material in a separate file or
+ files made available under a Secondary License, and (ii) the initial
+ Contributor attached to the Source Code the notice described in
+ Exhibit A of this Agreement, then the Program may be made available
+ under the terms of such Secondary Licenses, and
-Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
+ b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of
+ the Program.
-Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
+3.3 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright, patent,
+trademark, attribution notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations
+of liability ("notices") contained within the Program from any copy of
+the Program which they Distribute, provided that Contributors may add
+their own appropriate notices.
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
-Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
-
-For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
