DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
3.1. Application of License.
The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of
this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered
Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this
License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every
copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source
Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients’
rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering the additional
rights described in Section 3.5.
3.2. Availability of Source Code.
Any Modification created by You will be provided to the Initial Developer in Source Code
form and are subject to the terms of the License.
3.3. Description of Modifications.
You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the
changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a
prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a)
the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or related documentation in
which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
3.4. Intellectual Property Matters.
(a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party’s
intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor
under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
distribution titled “LEGAL” which describes the claim and the party making the claim in
sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such
knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes
available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists
or news groups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code
that new knowledge has been obtained.
(b) Contributor APIs. If Contributor’s Modifications include an application programming
interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably
necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this information in the
LEGAL file.
(c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section
3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor’s Modifications are Contributor’s
original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
this License.
