The words are different, but the goal is the -same - to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change -software. If anyone wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should -interpret it as consistent with GPL 2.0. +#### 1. Definitions +“License” shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction, and +distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document. -## Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0 +“Licensor” shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by the copyright +owner that is granting the License. -The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes -with any rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to -the SimPL by copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the -software. +“Legal Entity” shall mean the union of the acting entity and all other entities +that control, are controlled by, or are under common control with that entity. +For the purposes of this definition, “control” means **(i)** the power, direct or +indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by +contract or otherwise, or **(ii)** ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the +outstanding shares, or **(iii)** beneficial ownership of such entity. - You get the royalty free right to: +“You” (or “Your”) shall mean an individual or Legal Entity exercising +permissions granted by this License. -- Use the software for any purpose; -- Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work"); -- Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work. +“Source” form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications, including +but not limited to software source code, documentation source, and configuration +files. -If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to -the community by: +“Object” form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical transformation or +translation of a Source form, including but not limited to compiled object code, +generated documentation, and conversions to other media types. -- Prominently noting the date of any changes you make; -- Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and - license terms in place; -- Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and - interface definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to - modify; -- Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms - (such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights - provided; -- Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license. +“Work” shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or Object form, made +available under the License, as indicated by a copyright notice that is included +in or attached to the work (an example is provided in the Appendix below). -There are some things that you must shoulder: +“Derivative Works” shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object form, that +is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the editorial revisions, +annotations, elaborations, or other modifications represent, as a whole, an +original work of authorship. For the purposes of this License, Derivative Works +shall not include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by +name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof. -- You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind; -- If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct - damages up to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did - not pay anything). You may not recover any other damages, including - those called "consequential damages." (The state or country where - you live may not allow you to limit your liability in this way, so - this may not apply to you); +“Contribution” shall mean any work of authorship, including the original version +of the Work and any modifications or additions to that Work or Derivative Works +thereof, that is intentionally submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work +by the copyright owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit +on behalf of the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, +“submitted” means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent +to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to +communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and +issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Licensor for +the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication +that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by the copyright +owner as “Not a Contribution.” -The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end -automatically if: +“Contributor” shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on behalf +of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and subsequently +incorporated within the Work. -- You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your - licensees get to keep their rights if they abide); -- Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms - of the SimPL. +#### 2. Grant of Copyright License -## License for the License +Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby +grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, +irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, +publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such +Derivative Works in Source or Object form. -You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license -form to use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion, -however, if you change the terms in any way then you may not call your -license the Simple Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to -acknowledge that your license is "based on the Simple Public License"). +#### 3. Grant of Patent License + +Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby +grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, +irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have +made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where +such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor +that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination +of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was +submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a +cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a +Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory +patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License +for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. + +#### 4. Redistribution + +You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof +in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object form, +provided that You meet the following conditions: + +* **(a)** You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy of +this License; and +* **(b)** You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You +changed the files; and +* **(c)** You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, +all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the Source form +of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the +Derivative Works; and +* **(d)** If the Work includes a “NOTICE” text file as part of its distribution, then any +Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of the +attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices +that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one of the +following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as part of the +Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if provided along +with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by the Derivative +Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents of +the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the +License. You may add Your own attribution notices within Derivative Works that +You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, +provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as +modifying the License. + +You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide +additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or +distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, +provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies +with the conditions stated in this License. + +#### 5. Submission of Contributions + +Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted +for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and +conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions. +Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of +any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding +such Contributions. + +#### 6.

Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability + +While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to +offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or +other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. However, +in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and on Your +sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and only if You +agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability +incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason of your +accepting any such warranty or additional liability. + +_END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS_ + +### APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work + +To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following boilerplate +notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets `[]` replaced with your own +identifying information.
