Seems like another MPL-based license. Any volunteers for reviewing it?

claims:
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
trademark) Licensable by Initial Developer to use, reproduce, modify,
display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Original Code (or
portions thereof) with or without Modifications, and/or as part of a

Original Code with other software or devices.
2.2 Contributor Grant.
Subject to third party intellectual property claims, each Contributor
hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
trademark) Licensable by Contributor, to use, reproduce, modify,
display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications created
by such Contributor (or portions thereof) either on an unmodified
basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Code and/or as part of a
Larger Work; and
(b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or selling of
Modifications made by that Contributor either alone and/or in
combination with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or
otherwise dispose of: 1) Modifications made by that Contributor (or
portions thereof); and 2) the combination of Modifications made by
that Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
combination).
(c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are effective
on the date Contributor first makes Commercial Use of the Covered
Code.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
granted: 1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the
Contributor Version; 2) separate from the Contributor Version; 3) for
infringements caused by: i) third party modifications of Contributor
Version or ii) the combination of Modifications made by that
Contributor with other software (except as part of the Contributor
Version) or other devices; or 4) under Patent Claims infringed by
Covered Code in the absence of Modifications made by that Contributor.
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.
3.5 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.
3.6 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, Original Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to
indemnify the Initial Developer, Original Developer and every
Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer,
Original Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms
You offer.
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.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If 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.
5. Application of this License.
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
6. Versions of the License.
6.1 New Versions.
Socialtext, Inc. ("Socialtext") may publish revised and/or new
versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given
a distinguishing version number.
6.2 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 Socialtext. No
one other than Socialtext has the right to modify the terms applicable
to Covered Code created under this License.
6.3 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 "Socialtext", "CPAL" 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 CPAL. (Filling in
the name of the Initial Developer, Original Developer, Original Code
or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of
themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ORIGINAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART
OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
8. TERMINATION.
8.1 This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
shall survive.
8.2 If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial
Developer, Original Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer,
Original Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is
referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
(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.
(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.
8.3 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.
8.4 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.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
DEVELOPER, ORIGINAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY
DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES,
BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR
MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN
IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR
DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE
EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software"
and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are
used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R.
12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights
set forth herein.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of,
or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United
States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including
without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
License.
12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer, Original Developer and the Contributors,
each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and
You agree to work with Initial Developer, Original Developer and
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis.
Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any
admission of liability.
13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
Multiple-Licensed. Multiple-Licensed means that the Initial Developer
permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice
of the CPAL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the
Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
14. ADDITIONAL TERM: ATTRIBUTION
(a) As a modest attribution to the organizer of the development of the
Original Code ("Original Developer"), in the hope that its promotional
value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing
the Original Code, the Original Developer may include in Exhibit B
("Attribution Information") a requirement that each time an Executable
and Source Code or a Larger Work is launched or initially run (which
includes initiating a session), a prominent display of the Original
Developer's Attribution Information (as defined below) must occur on
the graphic user interface employed by the end user to access such
Covered Code (which may include display on a splash screen), if any.
The size of the graphic image should be consistent with the size of
the other elements of the Attribution Information. If the access by
the end user to the Executable and Source Code does not create a
graphic user interface for access to the Covered Code, this obligation
shall not apply. If the Original Code displays such Attribution
Information in a particular form (such as in the form of a splash
screen, notice at login, an "about" display, or dedicated attribution
area on user interface screens), continued use of such form for that
Attribution Information is one way of meeting this requirement for
notice.
(b) Attribution information may only include a copyright notice, a
brief phrase, graphic image and a URL ("Attribution Information") and
is subject to the Attribution Limits as defined below. For these
purposes, prominent shall mean display for sufficient duration to give
reasonable notice to the user of the identity of the Original
Developer and that if You include Attribution Information or similar
information for other parties, You must ensure that the Attribution
Information for the Original Developer shall be no less prominent than
such Attribution Information or similar information for the other
party. For greater certainty, the Original Developer may choose to
specify in Exhibit B below that the above attribution requirement only
applies to an Executable and Source Code resulting from the Original
Code or any Modification, but not a Larger Work. The intent is to
provide for reasonably modest attribution, therefore the Original
Developer cannot require that You display, at any time, more than the
following information as Attribution Information: (a) a copyright
notice including the name of the Original Developer; (b) a word or one
phrase (not exceeding 10 words); (c) one graphic image provided by the
Original Developer; and (d) a URL (collectively, the "Attribution
Limits").
(c) If Exhibit B does not include any Attribution Information, then
there are no requirements for You to display any Attribution
Information of the Original Developer.
(d) You acknowledge that all trademarks, service marks and/or trade
names contained within the Attribution Information distributed with
the Covered Code are the exclusive property of their owners and may
only be used with the permission of their owners, or under
circumstances otherwise permitted by law or as expressly set out in
this License.
15. ADDITIONAL TERM: NETWORK USE.
The term "External Deployment" means the use, distribution, or
communication of the Original Code or Modifications in any way such
that the Original Code or Modifications may be used by anyone other
than You, whether those works are distributed or communicated to those
persons or made available as an application intended for use over a
network. As an express condition for the grants of license hereunder,
You must treat any External Deployment by You of the Original Code or
Modifications as a distribution under section 3.1 and make Source Code
available under Section 3.2.

The term Original Developer is added here, but isn't in the Definitions.
Who is the Original Developer if not the Initial Developer?  (see also
under clause 14 below.)

I don't think this is a problem in this case, but it seems worth noting
the confusion and possible non-copyright-holder enforcement capability.

The undefined term Original Developer is added again in these. OK.

CPAL replaces NPL here - NPL isn't MPL, so is this an editing error?

Now to the additional terms:

Is this a requirement to display a splash screen?

Here the term Original Developer is specified as "the organizer of the
development of the Original Code" which sounds to me like it could be
the sponsor or project host, rather than the Initial Developer.  Does
anyone know whether "organizer" has a non-obvious legal meaning?

Despite the naming, I think this is a forced advert.

I think this is essentially an Affero-like clause, but I don't think it
actually succeeds in requiring Source Code is made available to all 
over-the-network users, as one can just put it on the 'same media' even
if that isn't entirely network-accessible.  So, maybe not a problem.

> EXHIBIT A. Common Public Attribution License Version 1.0. [...]

Seems similar to the MPL one, but my wdiff is a bit poor by this point
because of the amount of extra text in the ADDITIONAL CLAUSES.

So, in conclusion, I think this is unacceptable if the EXHIBIT B
ad-ware clause is used in bad ways and I'm worried by the new Original
Developer term.

Hope that helps,

Debian, as well as the FSF, has rejected many OSI-approved licenses before.

(Being OSI-approved does of course mean you've come most of the way to
being DFSG-free, but a lot of OSI approved licenses have provisions
such as code submission that we consider non-free.)

That's informative, but not sufficient to show that *software* under that
licence follows the DFSG.  (OSI has lawyers advocating licences, while
debian looks at software for users.)

Would you explain:-
 - can section 14 be a requirement to display an advert and must the
 openproj software display such an advert? (possible DFSG 3 problem)
 - why is NPL replaced with CPAL in section 13? (merely strange)
 - why is Original Developer added? (less worrying)

No advertising is required simply the OpenProj logo as noted in the 
Exhibit (see below).

In MPL 1.1, section 13:
"...the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered 
Code under Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses..."
It's MPL and not NPL. This error is on the plain text version of the 
license (http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.1.txt). Also most of the linux 
packages that use the MPL have this error on their license.
The good version is http://www.mozilla.org/MPL/MPL-1.1.html (or 
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/mozilla1.1.php).

MPL is replaced by CPAL in CPAL 1.0:
"...the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered 
Code under Your choice of the CPAL or the alternative licenses..."

>  - why is Original Developer added? (less worrying)
>   
In the standard text from the CPAL license, they define two terms 
"initial developer" and "original developer". These are the same in this 
instance so it is not relevant.


OpenProj CPAL license:

Common Public Attribution License Version 1.0 (CPAL)

1. "Definitions"
1.0.1 "Commercial Use" means distribution or otherwise making the 
Covered Code available to a third party.
1.1 "Contributor" means each entity that creates or contributes to the 
creation of Modifications.
1.2 "Contributor Version" means the combination of the Original Code, 
prior Modifications used by a Contributor, and the Modifications made by 
that particular Contributor.
1.3 "Covered Code" means the Original Code or Modifications or the 
combination of the Original Code and Modifications, in each case 
including portions thereof.
1.4 "Electronic Distribution Mechanism" means a mechanism generally 
accepted in the software development community for the electronic 
transfer of data.
1.5 "Executable" means Covered Code in any form other than Source Code.
1.6 "Initial Developer" means the individual or entity identified as the 
Initial Developer in the Source Code notice required by Exhibit A.
1.7 "Larger Work" means a work which combines Covered Code or portions 
thereof with code not governed by the terms of this License.
1.8 "License" means this document.
1.8.1 "Licensable" means having the right to grant, to the maximum 
extent possible, whether at the time of the initial grant or 
subsequently acquired, any and all of the rights conveyed herein.
1.9 "Modifications" means any addition to or deletion from the substance 
or structure of either the Original Code or any previous Modifications. 
When Covered Code is released as a series of files, a Modification is:
A. Any addition to or deletion from the contents of a file containing 
Original Code or previous Modifications.
B. Any new file that contains any part of the Original Code or previous 
Modifications.
1.10 "Original Code" means Source Code of computer software code which 
is described in the Source Code notice required by Exhibit A as Original 
Code, and which, at the time of its release under this License is not 
already Covered Code governed by this License.
1.10.1 "Patent Claims" means any patent claim(s), now owned or hereafter 
acquired, including without limitation, method, process, and apparatus 
claims, in any patent Licensable by grantor.
1.11 "Source Code" means the preferred form of the Covered Code for 
making modifications to it, including all modules it contains, plus any 
associated interface definition files, scripts used to control 
compilation and installation of an Executable, or source code 
differential comparisons against either the Original Code or another 
well known, available Covered Code of the Contributor’s choice. The 
Source Code can be in a compressed or archival form, provided the 
appropriate decompression or de-archiving software is widely available 
for no charge.
1.12 "You" (or "Your") means an individual or a legal entity exercising 
rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this License or a 
future version of this License issued under Section 6.1. For legal 
entities, "You" includes any entity which controls, is controlled by, or 
is under common control with You. For purposes of this definition, 
"control" means (a) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the 
direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or 
otherwise, or (b) ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the 
outstanding shares or beneficial ownership of such entity.
2. Source Code License.
2.1 The Initial Developer Grant.
The Initial Developer hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, 
non-exclusive license, subject to third party intellectual property claims:
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) 
Licensable by Initial Developer to use, reproduce, modify, display, 
perform, sublicense and distribute the Original Code (or portions 
thereof) with or without Modifications, and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
(b) under Patents Claims infringed by the making, using or selling of 
Original Code, to make, have made, use, practice, sell, and offer for 
sale, and/or otherwise dispose of the Original Code (or portions thereof).
(c) the licenses granted in this Section 2.1(a) and (b) are effective on 
the date Initial Developer first distributes Original Code under the 
terms of this License.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted: 
1) for code that You delete from the Original Code; 2) separate from the 
Original Code; or 3) for infringements caused by: i) the modification of 
the Original Code or ii) the combination of the Original Code with other 
software or devices.
2.2 Contributor Grant.
Subject to third party intellectual property claims, each Contributor 
hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) 
Licensable by Contributor, to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, 
sublicense and distribute the Modifications created by such Contributor 
(or portions thereof) either on an unmodified basis, with other 
Modifications, as Covered Code and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
(b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or selling of 
Modifications made by that Contributor either alone and/or in 
combination with its Contributor Version (or portions of such 
combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or 
otherwise dispose of: 1) Modifications made by that Contributor (or 
portions thereof); and 2) the combination of Modifications made by that 
Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such combination).
(c) the licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are effective on 
the date Contributor first makes Commercial Use of the Covered Code.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is granted: 
1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the Contributor 
Version; 2) separate from the Contributor Version; 3) for infringements 
caused by: i) third party modifications of Contributor Version or ii) 
the combination of Modifications made by that Contributor with other 
software (except as part of the Contributor Version) or other devices; 
or 4) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Code in the absence of 
Modifications made by that Contributor.
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.
3.5 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.
3.6 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, Original Developer or any Contributor. You 
hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer, Original Developer and 
every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer, 
Original Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You 
offer.
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.
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If 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.
5. Application of this License.
This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached 
the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
6. Versions of the License.
6.1 New Versions.
Projity, Inc. ("Projity") may publish revised and/or new versions of the 
License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing 
version number.
6.2 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 Projity. No one other 
than Projity has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered 
Code created under this License.
6.3 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 "Projity", "CPAL" 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 CPAL. (Filling in the name 
of the Initial Developer, Original Developer, Original Code or 
Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves 
be deemed to be modifications of this License.)
7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT 
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT 
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, 
MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE 
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. 
SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE 
INITIAL DEVELOPER, ORIGINAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME 
THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS 
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO 
USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS 
DISCLAIMER.
8. TERMINATION.
8.1 This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate 
automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure 
such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All 
sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive 
any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must 
remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.
8.2 If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim 
(excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer, 
Original Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer, Original 
Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred 
to as "Participant") alleging that:
(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.
(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.
8.3 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.
8.4 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.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT 
(INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL 
DEVELOPER, ORIGINAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR 
OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO 
ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL 
DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS 
OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND 
ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE 
BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF 
LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY 
RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY’S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW 
PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION 
OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION 
AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 
C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" 
and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used 
in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 
48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government 
End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.
11. MISCELLANEOUS.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter 
hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, 
such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it 
enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions 
(except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), 
excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in 
which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or 
registered to do business in the United States of America, any 
litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction 
of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue 
lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party 
responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and 
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. The application of the United 
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is 
expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the 
language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not 
apply to this License.
12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
As between Initial Developer, Original Developer and the Contributors, 
each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or 
indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You 
agree to work with Initial Developer, Original Developer and 
Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. 
Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any 
admission of liability.
13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as 
Multiple-Licensed. Multiple-Licensed means that the Initial Developer 
permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of 
the CPAL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial 
Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.
14. ADDITIONAL TERM: ATTRIBUTION
(a) As a modest attribution to the organizer of the development of the 
Original Code ("Original Developer"), in the hope that its promotional 
value may help justify the time, money and effort invested in writing 
the Original Code, the Original Developer may include in Exhibit B 
("Attribution Information") a requirement that each time an Executable 
and Source Code or a Larger Work is launched or initially run (which 
includes initiating a session), a prominent display of the Original 
Developer’s Attribution Information (as defined below) must occur on the 
graphic user interface employed by the end user to access such Covered 
Code (which may include display on a splash screen), if any. The size of 
the graphic image should be consistent with the size of the other 
elements of the Attribution Information. If the access by the end user 
to the Executable and Source Code does not create a graphic user 
interface for access to the Covered Code, this obligation shall not 
apply. If the Original Code displays such Attribution Information in a 
particular form (such as in the form of a splash screen, notice at 
login, an "about" display, or dedicated attribution area on user 
interface screens), continued use of such form for that Attribution 
Information is one way of meeting this requirement for notice.
(b) Attribution information may only include a copyright notice, a brief 
phrase, graphic image and a URL ("Attribution Information") and is 
subject to the Attribution Limits as defined below. For these purposes, 
prominent shall mean display for sufficient duration to give reasonable 
notice to the user of the identity of the Original Developer and that if 
You include Attribution Information or similar information for other 
parties, You must ensure that the Attribution Information for the 
Original Developer shall be no less prominent than such Attribution 
Information or similar information for the other party. For greater 
certainty, the Original Developer may choose to specify in Exhibit B 
below that the above attribution requirement only applies to an 
Executable and Source Code resulting from the Original Code or any 
Modification, but not a Larger Work. The intent is to provide for 
reasonably modest attribution, therefore the Original Developer cannot 
require that You display, at any time, more than the following 
information as Attribution Information: (a) a copyright notice including 
the name of the Original Developer; (b) a word or one phrase (not 
exceeding 10 words); (c) one graphic image provided by the Original 
Developer; and (d) a URL (collectively, the "Attribution Limits").
(c) If Exhibit B does not include any Attribution Information, then 
there are no requirements for You to display any Attribution Information 
of the Original Developer.
(d) You acknowledge that all trademarks, service marks and/or trade 
names contained within the Attribution Information distributed with the 
Covered Code are the exclusive property of their owners and may only be 
used with the permission of their owners, or under circumstances 
otherwise permitted by law or as expressly set out in this License.
15. ADDITIONAL TERM: NETWORK USE.
The term "External Deployment" means the use, distribution, or 
communication of the Original Code or Modifications in any way such that 
the Original Code or Modifications may be used by anyone other than You, 
whether those works are distributed or communicated to those persons or 
made available as an application intended for use over a network. As an 
express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You must treat 
any External Deployment by You of the Original Code or Modifications as 
a distribution under section 3.1 and make Source Code available under 
Section 3.2.

Hi,

        The comments below might not apply to the current package, but
 are addressed to some of the troubling aspects of the license.

|  The  term  "External  Deployment"   means  the  use,  distribution,  or

|  that the  Original Code  or Modifications may  be used by  anyone other

        This means, if I even use one single function of the original
 work, in an a GUI environment, which creates, say, a button to use in
 the task bar (small button, think of the wm* packages -- wmweather et
 al), I either make the button hugish, or I have to code in a splash
 screen -- for every single button that uses any of the original
 source. So, if a user has a dozen or so of these buttons in their
 toolbar, they are faced with a dozen splash screens when they start
 their session.

        This sounds like a significant reduction in freedom.

This does not seem relevant to OpenProj. There is no splash screen 
required only a small attribution as noted in Exhibit B of the OpenProj 
license.

Subject: WNPP bug closing

Date: Wed, 01 Oct 2008 11:59:32 -0600

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the ITP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your ITP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the ITP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

 reopen 442032
 stop

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
442032@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
