+ distribute the Original Code (or portions thereof) with or without
+ Modifications, or as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Initial
+ Developer, to make, have made, use and sell (``Utilize'') the

+ distribute the Modifications created by such Contributor (or
+ portions thereof) either on an unmodified basis, with other
+ Modifications, as Covered Code or as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under patents now or hereafter owned or controlled by Contributor,
+ to Utilize the Contributor Version (or portions thereof), but
+ solely to the extent that any such patent is reasonably necessary
+ to enable You to Utilize the Contributor Version (or portions
+ thereof), and not to any greater extent that may be necessary to
+ Utilize further Modifications or combinations.
+
+3. Distribution Obligations.
+
+3.1. Application of License.
+The Modifications which You contribute are governed by the terms of
+this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source
+Code version of Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms
+of this License, 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 contribute must be made available in Source
+Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as
+an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution
+Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version available;
+and if made available via 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 Covered Code to which you contribute to contain a
+file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered 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 the Initial Developer and including the name of the
+Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
+Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
+origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
+
+3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
+
+(a) 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
+ appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to
+ inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has
+ been obtained.
+
+(b) 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 Covered 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 Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own
+behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer 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 the Initial Developer and every
+Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
+such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
+liability terms You offer.
+
+3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
+You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
+requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
+and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
+the Covered 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 version, related documentation or
+collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the
+Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
+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 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 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 the Initial Developer or any
+Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and
+every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer
+or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
+
+3.7. Larger Works.
+You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered 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 Covered Code.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered 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. Application of this License.
+
+This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
+attached the notice in Exhibit A, and to related Covered Code.
+
+6. CONNECTION TO MOZILLA PUBLIC LICENSE
+
+This Erlang License is a derivative work of the Mozilla Public
+License, Version 1.0. It contains terms which differ from the Mozilla
+Public License, Version 1.0.
+
+7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
+
+COVERED 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 COVERED 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 COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE
+IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER 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 COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
+EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+8. TERMINATION.
+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 Covered 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.
+
+9. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+Any utilization of Covered Code shall not cause the Initial Developer
+or any Contributor to be liable for any damages (neither direct nor
+indirect).
+
+10. MISCELLANEOUS
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision is held to be unenforceable, such
+provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it
+enforceable. This License shall be construed by and in accordance with
+the substantive laws of Sweden. Any dispute, controversy or claim
+arising out of or relating to this License, or the breach, termination
+or invalidity thereof, shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
+of Swedish courts, with the Stockholm City Court as the first
+instance.
