Novell Cooperative License version 1.0

[Bruce Perens]

Here's the draft Novell license. Please note the arbitration and attorney's
cost issue. I'd like to hear arguments about its fairness or lack therof.

After we're finished with the public review and possible editing cycles
with Novell, I will submit this to the OSI board for certification. Note
that _I_am_not_ the person who determines OSI certification. I make
recommendations which they are free to ignore.

	Thanks

Novell Cooperative License 1.0 (NCL)

1. A Contributor is an individual or organization that makes code available 
under the NCL by placing a Notice in computer programming code or
documentation (Contributions). A Notice states that the Contributions are
being made available under the NCL, and follows the format provided in
Exhibit A hereto.

2. Subject to the terms and conditions of this NCL, each Contributor to the 
software grants you a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license under 
its applicable intellectual property rights to use, reproduce, modify, 
display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Contributions and
derivative works thereof, in source and binary code form.

3. In consideration of, and as a condition to, the licenses granted to you
under this license, you agree to comply with the each of the following
requirements with respect to any distribution by You of the Contributions
and/or derivative works thereof, in source code or binary code form
(Distributions):
   1. If you distribute the Distributions in binary code form, then you must 
   make the Distributions available in source code form to all binary code
   licensees via a generally accessible distribution mechanism, such as 
   installation media or a well-known, publicly accessible web site;
   2. You may distribute the Distributions in source code form only under the 
   NCL, and you may distribute the Distributions in binary code form only under
   the NCL or a license agreement containing a prominent notice informing 
   recipients how to obtain the Distributions in source code form under the NCL;
   3. If the Distributions contain derivative works created by you, you 
   must place a Notice in the source code of the derivative works stating that 
   your derivative works are being made available under the NCL;
   4. You shall not remove notices from the Distributions;
   5. Neither Novell's trademarks or trade names, nor the trademarks or
   trade names of any Contributors, may be used to endorse or promote products 
   derived from this software  without specific prior written permission;
   and,
   6. Your distribution of Distributions must be in compliance with 
   relevant law and government regulations.

4. Novell may publish revised versions of the NCL from time to time; you may 
license Contributions under this version or any subsequent versions. If You 
modify the NCL, you must remove all references to Novell other than a prominent 
notice that your version contains different terms than the NCL.

5. If you fail to cure a material breach of this Agreement within sixty
(60) days of receipt of written notice from a Contributor, you and the
Contributor shall immediately submit to binding arbitration to be completed 
within six (6) months in compliance with the rules of the American Arbitration 
Association before an arbitrator competent in the field of computer law.
Any determination by the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all parties 
and may be entered as a final judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. 
If the Contributor prevails, You shall pay the Contributors costs and attorneys 
fees, and the licenses granted to you by the Contributor shall be revoked unless
you cure the breach within a reasonable time specified by the arbitrator. If you
prevail and the Contributors allegation of breach was brought in bad faith, the 
Contributor shall pay your costs and attorneys fees.

6. THE LICENSES GRANTED HEREUNDER ARE GRANTED ON AN "AS IS'' BASIS, WITHOUT 
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION 
WARRANTIES THAT THE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each
Contributor represents that to the best of its knowledge the Contributor has 
sufficient rights to grant licenses to its contributions as conveyed by the NCL.

7. IN NO EVENT SHALL NOVELL, YOU OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR BE LIABLE FOR
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES 
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR
SERVICES; LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER 
CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT
LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE).  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO 
NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, 
SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
