make available. You must inform recipients of any such Covered
Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain such Covered
Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or through a

sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.

You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that identifies
You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may not remove or alter
any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained within the
Covered Software, or any notices of licensing or any descriptive text
giving attribution to any Contributor or the Initial Developer.
3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
License or the recipients’ rights hereunder. You may choose to offer,
and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software. 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 that 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

You offer.

You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under
the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of Your choice,
which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You

rights in the Source Code form from the rights set forth in this License. If
You distribute the Covered Software in Executable form 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
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.

Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may publish

version will be given a distinguishing version number. Except as
provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license steward has the
right to modify this License.
4.2. Effect of New Versions.
You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
License under which You originally received the Covered Software. If the
Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it
from being distributed or otherwise made available under any
subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and make the

License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or otherwise make
the Covered Software available under the terms of any subsequent
version of the License published by the license steward.

When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new license
for Your Original Software, You may create and use a modified version

to the name of the license steward (except to note that the license
differs from this License); and (b) otherwise make it clear that the license
contains terms which differ from this License.
