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 Covered 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.\n\n3.2. 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 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.\n\n3.3. 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.\n\n3.4.\ \ Intellectual Property Matters (a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has knowledge that\ \ a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to exercise the\ \ rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor 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 Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described\ \ in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor\ \ makes 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.\n\n(b) Contributor APIs. If Contributor's Modifications\ \ include an application programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses\ \ which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this\ \ information in the LEGAL file.\n\n(c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except\ \ as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's Modifications\ \ are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant\ \ the rights conveyed by this License.\n\n3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice\ \ in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. 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) where a user would be likely to look for such\ \ a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor\ \ to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation\ \ for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to\ \ Covered Code. 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.\n\n3.6. 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 or ownership rights 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.\n\n\ 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.\n\n4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.\n\nIf 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, judicial order, 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.\n\n5. Application of this\ \ License.\n\nThis License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the\ \ notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.\n\n6. Versions of the License.\n\n6.1.\ \ New Versions. Vtiger may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to\ \ time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.\n\n6.2. Effect of New\ \ Versions. Once Covered 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 Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published\ \ by Vtiger. No one other than Vtiger has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered\ \ Code created under this License.\n\n6.3. Derivative Works. If You create or use a modified\ \ version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is not\ \ already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that\ \ the phrases ''Vtiger'or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except\ \ to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that\ \ Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Vtiger Public License.\ \ (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice\ \ described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)\n\ \n7.

Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect\ \ beyond the termination of this License shall survive.\n\n8.2. If You initiate litigation\ \ by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against\ \ Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You\ \ file such action is referred to as \"Participant\") alleging that:\n\n(a) such Participant's\ \ 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 Modifications made by such Participant,\ \ or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to 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.\n\n(b) any software, hardware,\ \ or device, other than such Participant's 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, Modifications made by that Participant.\n\n8.3. If You assert a patent infringement\ \ claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's 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.\n\n8.4. 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.\n\n9.
