3Usage-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:
11    SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only OR copyleft-next 0.3.1

18                            Release date: 2016-04-29
19
201. 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
352. 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
453. 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   
554. 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
705. 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
896. 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
977. 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
1058. 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
1119. 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
11610. 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
13611. 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                                                       **

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.                                                 **

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
16114. 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.
