- work containing the Codec or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
- modifications and/or translated into another language. A "Larger Work"
- shall mean any work including or integrating the Codec as an object
- file or linked library. "Encoded Content" shall mean any multimedia

-
- Permission is granted to you to use the Codec for any purpose,
- and to copy it, alter it and redistribute it, subject to the
- following:
-
- 1. You may modify your copy or copies of the Codec or any portion
- of it, provided that you cause the modified files to carry
- prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the
- date of any such change.
-
- 2. You may copy, distribute, display and transmit the Codec's
- source code, in any medium, subject to the following:
-
- a. You must conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy

- intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence
- of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Codec a copy of
- this License along with the Codec.
-
- b. You must cause any Codec that you distribute or publish to be licensed
- as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
- License. However, you may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring
- a copy of the Codec, and you may at your option offer warranty protection
- in exchange for a fee.
-
- c. In each instance in which you attribute ownership or authorship of
- the Codec you will include an acknowledgement in a location viewable
- to users of the Codec as follows: "This product includes software

- Codec subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
- further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute the Codec in object code or executable
- form under the terms of Section 2, provided that you also accompany
- it with the complete machine-readable source code, or make such
- source-code freely and publicly available.
-
- 4. You may incorporate the Codec into a Larger Work and distribute
- that Larger Work under terms of your choice, provided that:

-
- 5. Any Codec or Larger Works created by you must conform to the
- MPEG-4 Video Standard, however modules of the Codec that do not
- derive from MoMuSys can be used and incorporated into a non-MPEG-4
- conforming work that otherwise complies with this license.
-
- 6. Except as provided in section 7 below, you must receive prior
- express written permission from Project Mayo before you use the names
- "DivX;-)" or "DivX" (or any names incorporating those names) or the
- file extensions ".divx" or ".div" to promote or endorse any products
- derived from the Codec, including, but not limited to Larger Works.
-
- 7. You must use the ".divx" file extension in any Encoded Content,
- when tools for this purpose are readily available. For Encoded Content
- used for a commercial purpose, you must prominently display the
- "Encoded in DivX" logo on the package of any Encoded Content in a
- manner immediately visible to viewers and you must include the
- "Encoded in DivX" video logo at the beginning of any Encoded Content
- when the means for such display are reasonably available.
-
- 8. The Codec contains copyrighted materials that are proprietary to
- Project Mayo, and no rights are granted to you except as expressly provided
- herein. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, display, distribute or
- transmit the Codec except as expressly provided under this License. Any
- act or attempt to copy, modify, sublicense, display, distribute or transmit
- the Codec other than as permitted herein will automatically terminate your
- rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies
- from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
