1Valid-License-Identifier: copyleft-next-0.3.1 2SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/copyleft-next-0.3.1 3Usage-Guide: 4 copyleft-next-0.3.1 is explicitly compatible with GPLv2 (or later) and 5 can therefore be used for kernel code. Though the best and recommended 6 practice is to express this in the SPDX license identifier by 7 licensing the code under both licenses expressed by the OR operator. 8 To use the copyleft-next-0.3.1 license put the following SPDX tag/value 9 pair into a comment according to the placement guidelines in the 10 licensing rules documentation: 11 SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only OR copyleft-next 0.3.1 12 SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-or-later OR copyleft-next-0.3.1 13License-Text: 14 15======================================================================= 16 17 copyleft-next 0.3.1 ("this License") 18 Release date: 2016-04-29 19 201. License Grants; No Trademark License 21 22 Subject to the terms of this License, I grant You: 23 24 a) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable 25 copyright license, to reproduce, Distribute, prepare derivative works 26 of, publicly perform and publicly display My Work. 27 28 b) A non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable 29 patent license under Licensed Patents to make, have made, use, sell, 30 offer for sale, and import Covered Works. 31 32 This License does not grant any rights in My name, trademarks, service 33 marks, or logos. 34 352. Distribution: General Conditions 36 37 You may Distribute Covered Works, provided that You (i) inform 38 recipients how they can obtain a copy of this License; (ii) satisfy the 39 applicable conditions of sections 3 through 6; and (iii) preserve all 40 Legal Notices contained in My Work (to the extent they remain 41 pertinent). "Legal Notices" means copyright notices, license notices, 42 license texts, and author attributions, but does not include logos, 43 other graphical images, trademarks or trademark legends. 44 453. Conditions for Distributing Derived Works; Outbound GPL Compatibility 46 47 If You Distribute a Derived Work, You must license the entire Derived 48 Work as a whole under this License, with prominent notice of such 49 licensing. This condition may not be avoided through such means as 50 separate Distribution of portions of the Derived Work. 51 52 If the Derived Work includes material licensed under the GPL, You may 53 instead license the Derived Work under the GPL. 54 554. Condition Against Further Restrictions; Inbound License Compatibility 56 57 When Distributing a Covered Work, You may not impose further 58 restrictions on the exercise of rights in the Covered Work granted under 59 this License. This condition is not excused merely because such 60 restrictions result from Your compliance with conditions or obligations 61 extrinsic to this License (such as a court order or an agreement with a 62 third party). 63 64 However, You may Distribute a Covered Work incorporating material 65 governed by a license that is both OSI-Approved and FSF-Free as of the 66 release date of this License, provided that compliance with such 67 other license would not conflict with any conditions stated in other 68 sections of this License. 69 705. Conditions for Distributing Object Code 71 72 You may Distribute an Object Code form of a Covered Work, provided that 73 you accompany the Object Code with a URL through which the Corresponding 74 Source is made available, at no charge, by some standard or customary 75 means of providing network access to source code. 76 77 If you Distribute the Object Code in a physical product or tangible 78 storage medium ("Product"), the Corresponding Source must be available 79 through such URL for two years from the date of Your most recent 80 Distribution of the Object Code in the Product. However, if the Product 81 itself contains or is accompanied by the Corresponding Source (made 82 available in a customarily accessible manner), You need not also comply 83 with the first paragraph of this section. 84 85 Each direct and indirect recipient of the Covered Work from You is an 86 intended third-party beneficiary of this License solely as to this 87 section 5, with the right to enforce its terms. 88 896. Symmetrical Licensing Condition for Upstream Contributions 90 91 If You Distribute a work to Me specifically for inclusion in or 92 modification of a Covered Work (a "Patch"), and no explicit licensing 93 terms apply to the Patch, You license the Patch under this License, to 94 the extent of Your copyright in the Patch. This condition does not 95 negate the other conditions of this License, if applicable to the Patch. 96 977. Nullification of Copyleft/Proprietary Dual Licensing 98 99 If I offer to license, for a fee, a Covered Work under terms other than 100 a license that is OSI-Approved or FSF-Free as of the release date of this 101 License or a numbered version of copyleft-next released by the 102 Copyleft-Next Project, then the license I grant You under section 1 is no 103 longer subject to the conditions in sections 3 through 5. 104 1058. Copyleft Sunset 106 107 The conditions in sections 3 through 5 no longer apply once fifteen 108 years have elapsed from the date of My first Distribution of My Work 109 under this License. 110 1119. Pass-Through 112 113 When You Distribute a Covered Work, the recipient automatically receives 114 a license to My Work from Me, subject to the terms of this License. 115 11610. Termination 117 118 Your license grants under section 1 are automatically terminated if You 119 120 a) fail to comply with the conditions of this License, unless You cure 121 such noncompliance within thirty days after becoming aware of it, or 122 123 b) initiate a patent infringement litigation claim (excluding 124 declaratory judgment actions, counterclaims, and cross-claims) 125 alleging that any part of My Work directly or indirectly infringes 126 any patent. 127 128 Termination of Your license grants extends to all copies of Covered 129 Works You subsequently obtain. Termination does not terminate the 130 rights of those who have received copies or rights from You subject to 131 this License. 132 133 To the extent permission to make copies of a Covered Work is necessary 134 merely for running it, such permission is not terminable. 135 13611. Later License Versions 137 138 The Copyleft-Next Project may release new versions of copyleft-next, 139 designated by a distinguishing version number ("Later Versions"). 140 Unless I explicitly remove the option of Distributing Covered Works 141 under Later Versions, You may Distribute Covered Works under any Later 142 Version. 143 144** 12. No Warranty ** 145** ** 146** My Work is provided "as-is", without warranty. You bear the risk ** 147** of using it. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each ** 148** Distributor of My Work excludes the implied warranties of title, ** 149** merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and ** 150** non-infringement. ** 151 152** 13. Limitation of Liability ** 153** ** 154** To the extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will any ** 155** Distributor of My Work be liable to You for any damages ** 156** whatsoever, whether direct, indirect, special, incidental, or ** 157** consequential damages, whether arising under contract, tort ** 158** (including negligence), or otherwise, even where the Distributor ** 159** knew or should have known about the possibility of such damages. ** 160 16114. Severability 162 163 The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this License 164 does not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of 165 this License. Such provision is to be reformed to the minimum extent 166 necessary to make it valid and enforceable. 167 16815.
