-
- The Academic Free License
- v. 2.1
-
- This Academic Free License (the "License") applies to any original
- work of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor")
- has placed the following notice immediately following the copyright
- notice for the Original Work:
-
- Licensed under the Academic Free License version 2.1
-
- 1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor hereby grants You a
- world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable
- license to do the following:
-
- a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies;
-
- b) to prepare derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the Original Work;
-
- c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to the public;
-
- d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
-
- e) to display the Original Work publicly.
-
- 2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide,
- royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license, under
- patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in
- the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, to make, use, sell and
- offer for sale the Original Work and Derivative Works.
-
- 3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the
- preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and
- all available documentation describing how to modify the Original
- Work. Licensor hereby agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the
- Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original
- Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy
- this obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code
- in an information repository reasonably calculated to permit
- inexpensive and convenient access by You for as long as Licensor
- continues to distribute the Original Work, and by publishing the
- address of that information repository in a notice immediately
- following the copyright notice that applies to the Original Work.
-
- 4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor
- the names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their
- trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote
- products derived from this Original Work without express prior written
- permission of the Licensor. Nothing in this License shall be deemed to
- grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or
- any other intellectual property of Licensor except as expressly stated
- herein. No patent license is granted to make, use, sell or offer to
- sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims
- defined in Section 2. No right is granted to the trademarks of
- Licensor even if such marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing
- in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from
- licensing under different terms from this License any Original Work
- that Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.
-
- 5) This section intentionally omitted.
-
- 6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any
- Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark
- notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any
- notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an
- "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any
- Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution
- Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have
- modified the Original Work.
-
- 7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor
- warrants that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent
- rights granted herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are
- sublicensed to You under the terms of this License with the permission
- of the contributor(s) of those copyrights and patent rights. Except as
- expressly stated in the immediately proceeding sentence, the Original
- Work is provided under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT
- WARRANTY, either express or implied, including, without limitation,
- the warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
- PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL
- WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential
- part of this License. No license to Original Work is granted hereunder
- except under this disclaimer.
-
- 8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal
- theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or
- otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to any person for any direct,
- indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any
- character arising as a result of this License or the use of the
- Original Work including, without limitation, damages for loss of
- goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and
- all other commercial damages or losses. This limitation of liability
- shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting
- from Licensor'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.
-
- 9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the
- Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort
- under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to
- the terms of this License. Nothing else but this License (or another
- written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You permission to
- create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or to exercise
- any of the rights granted in Section 1 herein, and any attempt to do
- so except under the terms of this License (or another written
- agreement between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by
- U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of other countries, and by
- international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any of the rights
- granted to You in Section 1 herein, You indicate Your acceptance of
- this License and all of its terms and conditions.
-
- 10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate
- automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted
- to You by this License as of the date You commence an action,
- including a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any
- licensee alleging that the Original Work infringes a patent. This
- termination provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent
- infringement by combinations of the Original Work with other software
- or hardware.
-
- 11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating
- to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction
- wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary
- business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its
- conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations
- Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is
- expressly excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of
- this License or after its termination shall be subject to the
- requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101
- et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international
- treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.
-
- 12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License
- or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be
- entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without
- limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in
- connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. This
- section shall survive the termination of this License.
-
- 13) 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.
-
- 14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this
- License, whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a
- legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of the
- terms of, this License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity
- that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with
- you. For purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power,
- direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such
- entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty
- percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial
- ownership of such entity.
-
- 15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not
- otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and
- Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such
- uses by You.

- This license is Copyright (C) 2003-2004 Lawrence E. Rosen. All rights
- reserved. Permission is hereby granted to copy and distribute this
- license without modification. This license may not be modified without
- the express written permission of its copyright owner.

- END OF ACADEMIC FREE LICENSE. The following is intended to describe the essential
- differences between the Academic Free License (AFL) version 1.0 and other
- open source licenses:
-
- The Academic Free License is similar to the BSD, MIT, UoI/NCSA and Apache
- licenses in many respects but it is intended to solve a few problems with
- those licenses.
-
- * The AFL is written so as to make it clear what software is being
- licensed (by the inclusion of a statement following the copyright notice
- in the software). This way, the license functions better than a template
- license. The BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses apply to unidentified software.
-
- * The AFL contains a complete copyright grant to the software. The BSD
- and Apache licenses are vague and incomplete in that respect.
-
- * The AFL contains a complete patent grant to the software. The BSD, MIT,
- UoI/NCSA and Apache licenses rely on an implied patent license and contain
- no explicit patent grant.
-
- * The AFL makes it clear that no trademark rights are granted to the
- licensor's trademarks. The Apache license contains such a provision, but the
- BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses do not.
-
- * The AFL includes the warranty by the licensor that it either owns the
- copyright or that it is distributing the software under a license. None of
- the other licenses contain that warranty. All other warranties are disclaimed,
- as is the case for the other licenses.
-
- * The AFL is itself copyrighted (with the right granted to copy and distribute
- without modification). This ensures that the owner of the copyright to the
- license will control changes. The Apache license contains a copyright notice,
- but the BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses do not.
