2.7. Conditions
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and
3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in Section 2.1.
3. Responsibilities
3.1. Distribution of Source
Form
All distribution of Covered
Software in Source Code Form, including any Modifications that You create or to
which You contribute, must be under the terms of this License. You must inform
recipients that the Source Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the
terms of this License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may
not attempt to alter or restrict the recipients’ rights in the Source Code
Form.
3.2. Distribution of
Executable Form
If You distribute Covered
Software in Executable Form then:
1. such Covered Software must also be
made available in Source Code Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You
must inform recipients of the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of
such Source Code Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no
more than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
2. You may distribute such Executable
Form under the terms of this License, or sublicense it under different terms,
provided that the license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or
alter the recipients’ rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
3.3. Distribution of a
Larger Work
You may create and
distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice, provided
that You also comply with the requirements of this License for the
Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered Software with
a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the Covered Software is
not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this License permits You to
additionally distribute such Covered Software under the terms of such Secondary
License(s), so that the recipient of the Larger Work may, at their option,
further distribute the Covered Software under the terms of either this License
or such Secondary License(s).
3.4. Notices
You may not remove or alter
the substance of any license notices (including copyright notices, patent
notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability) contained within
the Source Code Form of the Covered Software, except that You may alter any
license notices to the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
3.5. Application of
Additional Terms
You may choose to offer,
and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity
or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software.
However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and
not on behalf of 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 every
Contributor for any liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of
warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include
additional disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.
4. Inability to Comply Due
to Statute or Regulation
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 Software 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 placed in a text file included with all
distributions of the Covered Software under this License. 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.
5. Termination
5.1. The rights granted
under this License will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with any
of its terms. However, if You become compliant, then the rights granted under
this License from a particular Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally,
unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your
grants, and (b) on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of
the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from
a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first
time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License from such
Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt of
the notice.
5.2. If You initiate
litigation against any entity by asserting a patent infringement claim
(excluding declaratory judgment actions, counter-claims,
and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version directly or indirectly
infringes any patent, then the rights granted to You by any and all
Contributors for the Covered Software under Section 2.1 of this License
shall terminate.
5.3. In the event of
termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user license
agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly
granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to termination
shall survive termination.
6. Disclaimer of Warranty
Covered Software is
provided under this License on an “as is” basis, without warranty of any kind,
either expressed, implied, or statutory, including, without limitation,
warranties that the Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for
a particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the quality and
performance of the Covered Software is with You. Should any Covered Software
prove defective in any respect, You (not any
Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, repair, or correction.
This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential part of this License. No
use of any Covered Software is authorized under this License except under this
disclaimer.
7. Limitation of Liability
Under no circumstances and
under no legal theory, whether tort (including negligence), contract, or
otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as
permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages of any character including, without
limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer
failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or losses, even
if such party shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This
limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury
resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits
such limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not
apply to You.
8. Litigation
Any litigation relating to
this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction where the
defendant maintains its principal place of business and such litigation shall
be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without reference to its
conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party’s
ability to bring cross-claims or counter-claims.
9. Miscellaneous
This License represents the
complete agreement concerning the subject matter hereof. If any provision of
this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only
to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which
provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
10. Versions of the License
10.1. New Versions
Mozilla Foundation is the
license steward. Except as provided in Section 10.3, no one other than the
license steward has the right to modify or publish new versions of this
License. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
10.2. Effect of New
Versions
You may distribute the
Covered Software under the terms of the version of the License under which You
originally received the Covered Software, or under the terms of any subsequent
version published by the license steward.
10.3. Modified Versions
If you create software not
governed by this License, and you want to create a new license for such
software, you may create and use a modified version of this License if you
rename the license and remove any references to the name of the license steward
(except to note that such modified license differs from this License).
10.4. Distributing Source Code

If You choose to distribute
Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the notice described
