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 Governed 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 Code version or via an +Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable Code +version available; and if made available via an 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 Governed Code to which +you contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create +that Governed 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 RSV and including the name of RSV in (a) the Source +Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable Code version or related +documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Governed +Code. + + +3.4. Intellectual Property Matters. + +3.4.1. Third Party Claims. If You have knowledge that a party claims an +intellectual property right in particular functionality or code (or its +utilization under this License), you 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 you obtain such knowledge after You make Your Modification +available as described in Section 3.2, You shall promptly modify the LEGAL file +in all copies You make available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as +notifying RSV and appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably +calculated to inform those who received the Governed Code that new knowledge +has been obtained. In the event that You are a Contributor, You represent that, +except as disclosed in the LEGAL file, your Modifications are your original +creations and, to the best of your knowledge, no third party has any claim +(including but not limited to intellectual property claims) relating to your +Modifications. You represent that the LEGAL file includes complete details of +any license or other restriction associated with any part of your +Modifications. + +3.4.2. Contributor APIs. If Your Modification is an application programming +interface and You own or control patents which are reasonably necessary to +implement that API, you must also include this information in the LEGAL file. + + +3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file +of the Source Code, and this License in any documentation for the Source Code, +where You describe recipients' rights relating to Governed Code. If You created +one or more Modification(s), You may add your name as a Contributor to the +notice described in Exhibit A. 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 file) where a user would be +likely to look for such a notice. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee +for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more +recipients of Governed Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, +and not on behalf of RSV 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 RSV and every Contributor for +any liability incurred by RSV or such Contributor as a result of warranty, +support, indemnity or liability terms You offer. + + +3.6. Distribution of Executable Code Versions. You may distribute Governed Code +in Executable Code form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been +met for that Governed Code, and if You include a prominent notice stating that +the Source Code version of the Governed 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 Code version, related documentation or collateral in +which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Governed Code. You may +distribute the Executable Code version of Governed Code 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 Code 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 Code 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 RSV or any Contributor. You hereby agree to +indemnify RSV and every Contributor for any liability incurred by RSV or such +Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer. + + +3.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Governed 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 Governed Code. + + +4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation. + +If it is impossible for You to comply with any of theterms of this License with +respect to some or all of the Governed Code due to statute 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. Trademark Usage. + + + +5.1. Advertising Materials. All advertising materials mentioning features or +use of the Governed Code must display the following acknowledgement: "This +product includes software developed by Ricoh Silicon Valley, Inc." + + +5.2. Endorsements. The names "Ricoh," "Ricoh Silicon +Valley," and "RSV" must not be used to endorse or promote +Contributor Versions or Larger Works without the prior written permission of +RSV. + + +5.3. Product Names. Contributor Versions and Larger Works may not be called +"Ricoh" nor may the word "Ricoh" appear in their names +without the prior written permission of RSV. + + +6. Versions of the License. + + + +6.1. New Versions. RSV 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 Governed 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 Governed Code under the +terms of any subsequent version of the License published by RSV. No one other +than RSV has the right to modify the terms applicable to Governed Code created +under this License. + + +7. Disclaimer of Warranty. + +GOVERNED 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 GOVERNED 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 GOVERNED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY GOVERNED +CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT RSV 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 GOVERNED 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 Governed 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 patent infringement litigation against RSV or a +Contributor (RSV or the Contributor against whom You file such action is +referred to as "Participant") alleging that: + + +(a) such Participant's Original Code or 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 the +Original Code or the Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw +Your litigation claim with respect to the Original Code or 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 provided to You by the Participant, other +than such Participant's Original Code or 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, Original Code or the +Modifications made by that Participant. + + + +8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging +that such Participant's Original Code or 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 RSV, ANY CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY +DISTRIBUTOR OF GOVERNED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE +TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR ANY DIRECT, 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 THAT EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. +TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES ABOVE IS NOT VALID, YOU AGREE THAT +IN NO EVENT WILL RSVS LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED FIVE +THOUSAND DOLLARS ($5,000). THE GOVERNED CODE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN +CONNECTION WITH ANY NUCLER, AVIATION, MASS TRANSIT OR MEDICAL APPLICATION OR +ANY OTHER INHERENTLY DANGEROUS APPLICATION THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH, PERSONAL +INJURY, CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE OR MASS DESTRUCTION, AND YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER RSV +NOR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE AS A RESULT OF ANY +SUCH USE OF THE GOVERNED CODE. + + +10.

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 Governed Code with only those rights set forth +herein. + + +11.

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.
