14 Third-party licenses

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 mak-
ing the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contrib-
utor 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 Contribu-
tor 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 program-

ming 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.

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 Exe-

cutable form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Cov-
ered 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
or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
