69 Transitive Grace Period Public Licence ("TGPPL") v. 1.0
71 This Transitive Grace Period Public Licence (the "License") applies to any
72 original work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the
73 "Licensor") has placed the following licensing notice adjacent to the
74 copyright notice for the Original Work:
76 Licensed under the Transitive Grace Period Public Licence version 1.0
78 1. Grant of Copyright License. Licensor grants You a worldwide,
79 royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration
80 of the copyright, to do the following:
81 a. to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part
83 b. to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the
84 Original Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative
85 Works") based upon the Original Work;
86 c. to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and
87 Derivative Works to the public, with the proviso that copies of
88 Original Work or Derivative Works that You distribute or
89 communicate shall be licensed under this Transitive Grace Period
90 Public Licence no later than 12 months after You distributed or
91 communicated said copies;
92 d. to perform the Original Work publicly; and
93 e. to display the Original Work publicly.
94 2. Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide,
95 royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent
96 claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the
97 Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the
98 patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the
99 Original Work and Derivative Works.
100 3. Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the
101 preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and
102 all available documentation describing how to modify the Original
103 Work. Licensor agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source
104 Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original Work
105 that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this
106 obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an
107 information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and
108 convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to
109 distribute the Original Work.
110 4. Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the
111 names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their
112 trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote
113 products derived from this Original Work without express prior
114 permission of the Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing
115 in this License grants any license to Licensor's trademarks,
116 copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property.
117 No patent license is granted to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have
118 made, or import embodiments of any patent claims other than the
119 licensed claims defined in Section 2. No license is granted to the
120 trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are included in the Original
121 Work. Nothing in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit
122 Licensor from licensing under terms different from this License any
123 Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.
124 5. External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use,
125 distribution, or communication of the Original Work or Derivative
126 Works in any way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may
127 be used by anyone other than You, whether those works are distributed
128 or communicated to those persons or made available as an application
129 intended for use over a network. As an express condition for the
130 grants of license hereunder, You must treat any External Deployment by
131 You of the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a distribution under
133 6. Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any
134 Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent, or trademark
135 notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any
136 notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an
137 "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any
138 Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution
139 Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have
140 modified the Original Work.
141 7. Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants
142 that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights
143 granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are
144 sublicensed to You under the terms of this License with the permission
145 of the contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as
146 expressly stated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Original
147 Work is provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT
148 WARRANTY, either express or implied, including, without limitation,
149 the warranties of non-infringement, merchantability or fitness for a
150 particular purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL
151 WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential
152 part of this License. No license to the Original Work is granted by
153 this License except under this disclaimer.
154 8. Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal
155 theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or
156 otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to anyone for any indirect,
157 special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising
158 as a result of this License or the use of the Original Work including,
159 without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage,
160 computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial
161 damages or losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to the
162 extent applicable law prohibits such limitation.
163 9. Acceptance and Termination. If, at any time, You expressly assented to
164 this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable
165 acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You
166 distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work or a Derivative
167 Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to
168 obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License.
169 This License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed
170 in Section 1, including your right to create Derivative Works based
171 upon the Original Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and
172 conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty.
173 Nothing in this License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and
174 limitations (including 'fair use' or 'fair dealing'). This License
175 shall terminate immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the
176 rights granted to You by this License upon your failure to honor the
177 conditions in Section 1(c).
178 10. Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
179 automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted
180 to You by this License as of the date You commence an action,
181 including a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any
182 licensee alleging that the Original Work infringes a patent. This
183 termination provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent
184 infringement by combinations of the Original Work with other software
186 11. Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to
187 this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction
188 wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary
189 business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its
190 conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations
191 Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
192 expressly excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of
193 this License or after its termination shall be subject to the
194 requirements and penalties of copyright or patent law in the
195 appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive the termination
197 12. Attorneys' Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or
198 seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
199 entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
200 limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
201 connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. This
202 section shall survive the termination of this License.
203 13. Miscellaneous. If any provision of this License is held to be
204 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
205 necessary to make it enforceable.
206 14. Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License,
207 whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity
208 exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this
209 License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls,
210 is controlled by, or is under common control with you. For purposes of
211 this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to
212 cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract
213 or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
214 outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
215 15. Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise
216 restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and Licensor
217 promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by You.
218 16. Modification of This License. This License is Copyright (c) 2007 Zooko
219 Wilcox-O'Hearn. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or
220 communicate this License without modification. Nothing in this License
221 permits You to modify this License as applied to the Original Work or
222 to Derivative Works. However, You may modify the text of this License
223 and copy, distribute or communicate your modified version (the
224 "Modified License") and apply it to other original works of authorship
225 subject to the following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in any
226 way that your Modified License is the "Transitive Grace Period Public
227 Licence" or "TGPPL" and you may not use those names in the name of
228 your Modified License; and (ii) You must replace the notice specified
229 in the first paragraph above with the notice "Licensed under " or with
230 a notice of your own that is not confusingly similar to the notice in
234 Regarding the text "License: BSD3" which appears in
235 haskell/Codec/FEC.hs:

238 rights to use your patches however I like? If you do so, I will

241 more probably to delegate that right to allmydata.com."
243 Adam Langley replied: "Certainly. I would generally say that GPL is a
244 little strict for this sort of thing (LGPL would be better), but I put
245 zfec on Hackage (the Haskell CPAN) with a GPL tag. You may do with the
246 Haskell code as you wish, including relicensing etc."
