3. OBLIGATIONS OF RECIPIENT
|
|
|
|
A. Distribution or Redistribution of the Subject Software must be made
|
|
under this Agreement except for additions covered under paragraph 3H.
|
|
|
|
1. Whenever a Recipient distributes or redistributes the Subject
|
|
Software, a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy
|
|
of the Subject Software; and
|
|
2. If Recipient distributes or redistributes the Subject Software in
|
|
any form other than source code, Recipient must also make the
|
|
source code freely available, and must provide with each copy of
|
|
the Subject Software information on how to obtain the source code
|
|
in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
|
|
software exchange.
|
|
|
|
B. Each Recipient must ensure that the following copyright notice
|
|
appears prominently in the Subject Software:
|
|
|
|
Copyright ã 2004 United States Government as represented by the
|
|
Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
|
|
All Rights Reserved.
|
|
|
|
C. Each Contributor must characterize its alteration of the Subject
|
|
Software as a Modification and must identify itself as the originator
|
|
of its Modification in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
|
|
Recipients to identify the originator of the Modification. In
|
|
fulfillment of these requirements, Contributor must include a file
|
|
(e.g., a change log file) that describes the alterations made and the
|
|
date of the alterations, identifies Contributor as originator of the
|
|
alterations, and consents to characterization of the alterations as a
|
|
Modification, for example, by including a statement that the
|
|
Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
|
|
Software provided by Government Agency. Once consent is granted, it
|
|
may not thereafter be revoked.
|
|
|
|
D. A Contributor may add its own copyright notice to the Subject
|
|
Software. Once a copyright notice has been added to the Subject
|
|
Software, a Recipient may not remove it without the express permission
|
|
of the Contributor who added the notice.
|
|
|
|
E. A Recipient may not make any representation in the Subject Software
|
|
or in any promotional, advertising or other material that may be
|
|
construed as an endorsement by Government Agency or by any prior
|
|
Recipient of any product or service provided by Recipient, or that may
|
|
seek to obtain commercial advantage by the fact of Government Agency's
|
|
or a prior Recipient's participation in this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
F. In an effort to track usage and maintain accurate records of the
|
|
Subject Software, each Recipient, upon receipt of the Subject
|
|
Software, is requested to register with Government Agency by visiting
|
|
the following website: http://opensource.arc.nasa.gov. Recipient's
|
|
name and personal information shall be used for statistical purposes
|
|
only. Once a Recipient makes a Modification available, it is requested
|
|
that the Recipient inform Government Agency at the web site provided
|
|
above how to access the Modification.
|
|
|
|
G. Each Contributor represents that that its Modification is believed
|
|
to be Contributor's original creation and does not violate any
|
|
existing agreements, regulations, statutes or rules, and further that
|
|
Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
|
|
Agreement.
|
|
|
|
H. A Recipient may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty,
|
|
support, indemnity and/or liability obligations to one or more other
|
|
Recipients of the Subject Software. A Recipient may do so, however,
|
|
only on its own behalf and not on behalf of Government Agency or any
|
|
other Recipient. Such a Recipient must make it absolutely clear that
|
|
any such warranty, support, indemnity and/or liability obligation is
|
|
offered by that Recipient alone. Further, such Recipient agrees to
|
|
indemnify Government Agency and every other Recipient for any
|
|
liability incurred by them as a result of warranty, support, indemnity
|
|
and/or liability offered by such Recipient.
|
|
|
|
I. A Recipient may create a Larger Work by combining Subject Software
|
|
with separate software not governed by the terms of this agreement and
|
|
distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such case, the
|
|
Recipient must make sure Subject Software, or portions thereof,
|
|
included in the Larger Work is subject to this Agreement.
|
|
|
|
J. Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein, Recipient is
|
|
hereby put on notice that export of any goods or technical data from
|
|
the United States may require some form of export license from the
|
|
U.S. Government. Failure to obtain necessary export licenses may
|
|
result in criminal liability under U.S. laws. Government Agency
|
|
neither represents that a license shall not be required nor that, if
|
|
required, it shall be issued. Nothing granted herein provides any
|
|
such export license.
|
|
|
