| Server Side Public License |
| |
| VERSION 1, OCTOBER 16, 2018 |
| |
| Copyright © 2018 MongoDB, Inc. |
| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
| document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| 0. Definitions. |
| |
| “This License” refers to Server Side Public License. |
| |
| “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, |
| such as semiconductor masks. |
| |
| “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each |
| licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals |
| or organizations. |
| |
| To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a |
| fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. |
| The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work |
| “based on” the earlier work. |
| |
| A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the |
| Program. |
| |
| To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, |
| would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable |
| copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. |
| Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), |
| making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
| |
| To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to |
| make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, |
| with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
| |
| An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent |
| that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays |
| an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no |
| warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that |
| licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this |
| License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
| menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
| |
| 1. Source Code. |
| |
| The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
| modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work. |
| |
| A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard |
| defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified |
| for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers |
| working in that language. |
| |
| The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the |
| work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major |
| Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to |
| enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard |
| Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code |
| form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component |
| (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on |
| which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an |
| object code interpreter used to run it. |
| |
| The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source |
| code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object |
| code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. |
| However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose |
| tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in |
| performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, |
| Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source |
| files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
| linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by |
| intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other |
| parts of the work. |
| |
| The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate |
| automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. |
| |
| The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. |
| |
| 2. Basic Permissions. |
| |
| All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on |
| the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This |
| License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified |
| Program, subject to section 13. The output from running a covered work is |
| covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a |
| covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other |
| equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
| |
| Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate covered works that you do |
| not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in |
| force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having |
| them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for |
| running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in |
| conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making |
| or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, |
| under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any |
| copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
| |
| Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions |
| stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. |
| |
| 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
| |
| No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under |
| any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright |
| treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting |
| circumvention of such measures. |
| |
| When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
| circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is |
| effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered |
| work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the |
| work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' |
| legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures. |
| |
| 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
| |
| You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, |
| in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each |
| copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this |
| License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the |
| code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
| recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
| |
| You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may |
| offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
| |
| 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
| |
| You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it |
| from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, |
| provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| |
| a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and |
| giving a relevant date. |
| b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under |
| this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement |
| modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”. |
| c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to |
| anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore |
| apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of |
| the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This |
| License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it |
| does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
| d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
| Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
| interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not |
| make them do so. |
| |
| A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which |
| are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not |
| combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a |
| storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and |
| its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the |
| compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a |
| covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
| parts of the aggregate. |
| |
| 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
| |
| You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 |
| and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source |
| under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: |
| |
| a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including |
| a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source |
| fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software |
| interchange. |
| b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including |
| a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for |
| at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or |
| customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the |
| object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the |
| software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable |
| physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
| more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of |
| source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server |
| at no charge. |
| c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written |
| offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only |
| occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code |
| with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. |
| d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis |
| or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in |
| the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not |
| require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object |
| code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the |
| Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a |
| third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you |
| maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
| Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding |
| Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as |
| needed to satisfy these requirements. |
| e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you |
| inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the |
| work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection |
| 6d. |
| |
| A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the |
| Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the |
| object code work. |
| |
| A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible |
| personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household |
| purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. |
| In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be |
| resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular |
| user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of |
| product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which |
| the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the |
| product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has |
| substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses |
| represent the only significant mode of use of the product. |
| |
| “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, |
| authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute |
| modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version |
| of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the |
| continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or |
| interfered with solely because modification has been made. |
| |
| If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
| specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a |
| transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is |
| transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of |
| how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under |
| this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this |
| requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the |
| ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the |
| work has been installed in ROM). |
| |
| The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
| requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a |
| work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User |
| Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be |
| denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the |
| operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication |
| across the network. |
| |
| Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord |
| with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an |
| implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no |
| special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. |
| 7. Additional Terms. |
| |
| Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a |
| covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) |
| supplement the terms of this License with terms: |
| |
| a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of |
| sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
| b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author |
| attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed |
| by works containing it; or |
| c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
| requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable |
| ways as different from the original version; or |
| d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors |
| of the material; or |
| e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade |
| names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
| f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by |
| anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with |
| contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability |
| that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and |
| authors. |
| |
| All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further restrictions” |
| within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part |
| of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with |
| a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license |
| document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying |
| under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms |
| of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive |
| such relicensing or conveying. |
| |
| If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, |
| in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to |
| those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. |
| |
| Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a |
| separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements |
| apply either way. |
| |
| 8. Termination. |
| |
| You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided |
| under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and |
| will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any |
| patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11). |
| |
| However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a |
| particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until |
| the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) |
| permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by |
| some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
| |
| Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated |
| permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some |
| reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation |
| of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the |
| violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. |
| |
| Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of |
| parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your |
| rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify |
| to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10. |
| |
| 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
| |
| You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of |
| the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a |
| consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does |
| not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you |
| permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe |
| copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or |
| propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do |
| so. |
| |
| 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
| |
| Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a |
| license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, |
| subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by |
| third parties with this License. |
| |
| An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an |
| organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
| organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results |
| from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy |
| of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor |
| in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to |
| possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in |
| interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
| |
| You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights |
| granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a |
| license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this |
| License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or |
| counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by |
| making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any |
| portion of it. |
| |
| 11. Patents. |
| |
| A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of |
| the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is |
| called the contributor's “contributor version”. |
| |
| A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or |
| controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, |
| that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, |
| using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would |
| be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor |
| version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant |
| patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License. |
| |
| Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent |
| license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, |
| offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of |
| its contributor version. |
| |
| In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement |
| or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express |
| permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). |
| To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or |
| commitment not to enforce a patent against the party. |
| |
| If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the |
| Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of |
| charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network |
| server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the |
| Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of |
| the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a |
| manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
| license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual |
| knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a |
| country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would |
| infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason |
| to believe are valid. |
| |
| If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you |
| convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a |
| patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing |
| them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, |
| then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of |
| the covered work and works based on it. |
| |
| A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of |
| its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise |
| of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. |
| You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a |
| third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you |
| make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of |
| conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
| parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent |
| license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or |
| copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with |
| specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you |
| entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 |
| March 2007. |
| |
| Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied |
| license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you |
| under applicable patent law. |
| |
| 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
| |
| If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse |
| you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use, propagate or convey |
| a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not |
| use, propagate or convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that |
| obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you |
| convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
| License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
| |
| 13. Offering the Program as a Service. |
| |
| If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version available to |
| third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source Code available via |
| network download to everyone at no charge, under the terms of this License. |
| Making the functionality of the Program or modified version available to third |
| parties as a service includes, without limitation, enabling third parties to |
| interact with the functionality of the Program or modified version remotely |
| through a computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or |
| primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or offering |
| a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Program or |
| modified version. |
| |
| “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the |
| modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to |
| make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without |
| limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program |
| interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage |
| software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the |
| service using the Service Source Code you make available. |
| |
| 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
| |
| MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server Side Public |
| License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the |
| present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies |
| that a certain numbered version of the Server Side Public License “or any later |
| version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and |
| conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by |
| MongoDB, Inc. If the Program does not specify a version number of the Server |
| Side Public License, you may choose any version ever published by MongoDB, Inc. |
| |
| If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the |
| Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of |
| acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for |
| the Program. |
| |
| Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. |
| However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder |
| as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. |
| |
| 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
| |
| THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. |
| EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER |
| PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER |
| EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
| MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE |
| QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE |
| DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 16. Limitation of Liability. |
| |
| IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY |
| COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS |
| PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, |
| INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE |
| THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED |
| INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE |
| PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY |
| HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| |
| 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. |
| |
| If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot |
| be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall |
| apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil |
| liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of |
| liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
