3 | Usage-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: | |

17 | copyleft-next 0.3.1 ("this License") | |
18 | Release date: 2016-04-29 | |
19 | ||
20 | 1. 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 | ||
35 | 2. 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 | ||
45 | 3. 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 | ||
55 | 4. 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 | ||
70 | 5. 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 | ||
89 | 6. 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 | ||
97 | 7. 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 | ||
105 | 8. 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 | ||
111 | 9. 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 | ||
116 | 10. 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 | ||
136 | 11. 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 | ||
161 | 14. 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 | ||
