3. Distribution Obligations.
3.1. Application of License. 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.
3.2. 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.
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 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.
(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.
(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.
