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.
5. 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.
