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 which You create or to which You contribute must be made +available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same +media as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution +Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version available; and if +made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for +at least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at +least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification +has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring +that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic +Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party. +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 newsgroups) 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. + +3.5. Required Notices. +You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If +it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to +its structure, then You must include such notice in a location (such as a +relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If +You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor +to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in +any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or +ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to +charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one +or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own +behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must +make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability +obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the +Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the +Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, +indemnity or liability terms You offer. + +3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. +You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of +Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice +stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the +terms of this License, including a description of how and where You have +fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously +included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or +collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered +Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code or ownership +rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from +this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License +and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or +alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set +forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a +different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ +from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any +Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every +Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such +Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer. + +3.7. Larger Works. +You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not +governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single +product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this License are +fulfilled for the Covered Code. + +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 Code 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 included in the LEGAL file described in Section +3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code. 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. Application of this License. +This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the +notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code. + +6. Versions of the License. + +6.1. New Versions. +On2 Technologies, The Duck Corporation ("On2") may publish revised and/or new +versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a +distinguishing version number. + +6.2. Effect of New Versions. +Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, +You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also +choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the +License published by On2. No one other than On2 has the right to modify the +terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License. + +6.3. Derivative Works. +If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do +in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code governed by this +License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "VP3.2", "On2", +or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note +that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear +that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Vp3.2 +Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or +Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be +deemed to be modifications of this License.) + +7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY. +COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT +WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT +LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE 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 CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE +PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER +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 CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER. + +8. TERMINATION. + +8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically +if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 +days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which +are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions +which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this +License shall survive. + +8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim +(excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a +Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such +action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that: + +(a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any +patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under +Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from +Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of +notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable +reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such +Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the +Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a +reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in +writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights +granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically +terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above. + +(b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's +Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any +rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are +revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had +made, Modifications made by that Participant. + +8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging +that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any +patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to +the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of +the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be +taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or license. + +8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user +license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been +validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall +survive termination. + +9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. +UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING +NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER +CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH +PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR +CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES +FOR 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. + +10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS. +The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. +2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial +computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 +(Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through +227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with +only those rights set forth herein. + +11. 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. +This License shall be governed by the law provisions of New York(except to the +extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of- +law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a +citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United +States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to +the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Southern District of New York, +with venue lying in New York County, New York, with the losing party responsible +for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' +fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts +for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
