LINDS GENERAL PUBLIC AGREEMENT

Version 1.2, 24 July 2020

Copyright © 2020 Linds, Corp. https://www.lindsinnersole.org/ Based on the GNU General Public License version 3, which is Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. https://fsf.org/ 

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this agreement document, but changing it is not allowed except if indicated otherwise.

       TERMS AND CONDITIONS

        0. Definitions.

“this Agreement” refers to this version 1 of the LINDS General Public Agreement.

“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works of original authorship, such as semiconductor masks, graphic elements, designs, text documents or computer programs.

“Trademarks” also means trademark-like laws that apply to any kind of either registered or unregistered designations of origin including service marks, collective trademarks and certification trademarks.

A ” Valid Trademark” refers any trademark registered with a competent trademark authority, such as the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

A “Work” refers to any items, whether tangible (such as a physical object that may include or not a Product) or intangible (such as computerized files and/ or designs), whose use is governed by this Agreement, whether or not they are covered by a copyright, patent or trademark right granted by law. The term ”protected” is often used in the legal jargon to describe works such that copyright, patent or trademark rights were granted, however a copyright, patent or trademark protects one person its harm another person as well by limiting her/ his capability of accessing works or creating new ones. In contrast this agreement seeks to use copyrights, patents and trademarks to empower people. The ‘Work’ includes the collective work that bundles the discrete items governed by this Agreement together into a compilation.

Each licensee and recipient of this Agreement is addressed as “you”. “licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.

The “Marks” include the [TRADEMARKS] trademark(s) with serial number(s) [SERIAL NUMBERS] registered  under the laws of [JURISDICTION OF REGISTRATION] which are in full control and ownership of [YOUR NAME] whose principal address or place of residence is [YOUR ADDRESS] and are included as part of the User Marks of the Works starting from [EFFECTIVE DATE].

If you are the copyright holder of the work and have full control and ownership over certain Valid Trademarks, you are entitled to replace at section 0 the TRADEMARKS field by the Valid Trademarks, the SERIAL NUMBERS field by their serial numbers, the JURISDICTION OF REGISTRATION field by the territories in which each of the Valid Trademarks are registered, the YOUR NAME field by your name, the YOUR ADDRESS field by your address and the EFFECTIVE DATE field by the effective date of your interest. Fields are expressly delimited by brackets and you must remove the brackets in order to be authorized to do these replacements. Unauthorized changes to this document agreement will invalidate your rights as licensor and/ or licensee of any trademark or Work under this Agreement. If you are not the copyright holder of the Work or there are no fields delimited by brackets in section 0 you are not allowed to perform any change to this agreement document. If section 0 has fields delimited by brackets this Agreement is not valid.

Under the terms of this Agreement if there is any copyright holder of the Work other than you, you are not entitled to preform changes at the above fields and use a Valid Trademark as a Mark. However you may consider to modify the Work adding a functionality and to add “User Marks” as defined in section 8 below.

The “Owner” is individually or collectively any person and/ or entity having full control and ownership of the Marks or the “User Marks” as defined in section 8 below.

The Works also include some non copyrightable parts, yet the license granted to you under this Agreement to use any copyrightable Works  is conditioned on your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement for the non-copyrightable Works as well. For example after following a copyrightable compilation of graphical and/ or textual documentation that includes how to build a physical object you can produce a physical object that is not copyrightable. However in order to have copyright permission to the compilation of graphical and/ or textual documentation the physical object is considered part of the Work and you must to comply with  the terms and condition for the physical object as well. The Marks are considered a Work, but special provisions governing them apply under this Agreement.

To “modify” a Work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the Work other than the creating  an exact copy or Making an exact physical replica. The resulting Work is called a “modified version” of the earlier Work or a work “based on” the earlier Work.

A “Computerized Covered Work” means the computerized representation of any unmodified Work, a modified Work, another work otherwise based on a Work such as by adapting or transforming it, except for a Product.

“Functionality” of a product or service is any feature essential to the use or purpose of the product or service or if it affects the cost or quality of the product or service. This definition is article based on the United States Patents and Trademarks Office (USPTO) Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP), §1202.02(a)(iii)(A). Any modification, amendment or replacement of this definition in the TMEP  will be deemed adopted into this term as defined in this Agreement.

To “propagate” a Computerized Covered Work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make the person directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright or trademark laws, except executing any part of the Computerized Covered Work on a computer, Making any part if it for private testing or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.

To “convey” means any kind of propagation of a Computerized Covered Work, or any kind of delivery of the possession, custody or title of a Product, that enables other parties to make or receive copies of a Work or a Product. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

A human readable document or, in case of Computerized Covered Works, an interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays the appropriate copyright and trademark notices, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this Agreement, and how to view a copy of this Agreement. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

A ”Program” means any software or set of instructions executable by a machine.

        1. Sources and Other Forms of the Works.

The “sources” for a Work means the preferred form of a Work for making modifications to it. The sources may include Notices. “Object Work” means any non-source form of a Work. The Object Work of a Program is commonly referred as object code. In this agreement this definition is expanded to include works that are not necessarily programs.

For Works involving programs a “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

“Make” means to create something, whether a physical object or an intangible output, by using or processing one or more Works.

”Product” means any physical object, whether in finished or intermediate form, Made  from or with one or more Works.

The “Additional Components” of a Work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that falls in one of the following

(a) is (i) included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (ii) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in sources form.
(b) a material needed to build or Make a Major Component that (i) its composition and formulation are available in the public domain or (ii) is equivalent to a material whose composition and formulation are available in the public domain. By equivalent is understood that by replacing the material of the first option by the second one will not significantly affect the using or making of the Work, Object Work or Product however changes in performance or durability of the resulting Works, Object Work or Product made can be expected. For example, if a Product includes a foam that is commercialized under a trade or industrial secret, but can be replaced by a generic material as ethylene-vinyl acetate is OK to have this material as an Additional Component to Make a Product as far you notify the name of the material, how to find it and that can be replaced by ethylene-vinyl acetate.
(c) any part or sub-assembly which is not a Major Component and is available to You and any other prospective licensees (i) as a physical part with sufficient rights and available information in the public domain (including any configuration and programming files and information about its characteristics and interfaces) to enable it either to be Made itself, or to be sourced and used to Make the Work, Object Work or Product; or (ii) as part of the normal distribution of a tool used to design or Make the Work, Object Work or Product and the tool’s design and specifications are available in the public domain or the tool can be replaced to Make the Work, Object Work or Product by a tool whose design and specifications are available in the public domain.   

A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (a mechanical or functional part that without it the Works cannot accomplish their intended function, kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or any physical part necessary for the work to accomplish its intended function, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an Object Work interpreter used to perform or run it. The “Additional Components” of a Computerized Covered Work or program are often called System Libraries.

The “Corresponding Source” for a Work means all the sources needed to make, generate, reproduce, install, use, (for an executable work or program) run, and otherwise perform the Object Work, to modify the work and, if the Work involves a Product, to Make a Product, including any set of human readable instructions or scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's Additional Components, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the Work. For example, Corresponding Source includes any design parameter as dimensions and shapes, or a list of materials needed for Making as well as to feed an external machine or device for performing measurements or making parts of the Works, interface definition, files associated with source files needed for the Works, and the sources for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the Work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that you can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source form is that same work.

The “Mark Code” is the object code and Corresponding Source that in themselves may not contain the Marks, but are needed to produce the Marks as they appear in any part of the Work. If the Marks, for example, are a logotype or name, and these appear impressed or displayed in any part of the Works, then the Mark Code is  all the instructions, commands and parameters needed to make possible this displaying or impression.

        2. Basic Permissions.

This Agreement grants rights to all the copyrightable parts of the Works, which rights and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This Agreement explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to internally use run or Make the unmodified Works. This Agreement acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright and trademark law.

You may run and propagate Works or Computerized Covered Works that you do not convey, and may Make Products that you do not convey, without conditions so long as this Agreement otherwise remains in force. You may convey Works to others for the sole purpose of having them perform  modifications of those Works exclusively for you, or providing you with facilities for assembling, Making Products, using, running or otherwise performing those Works, provided that you comply with the terms of this Agreement in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright or trademarks. Those thus running the Works or Making Products for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from Making Product or creating any copies of Works outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 12 makes it unnecessary.

        3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

No Work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

When you convey a Work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this Agreement with respect to the Work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

        4. Conveying Verbatim Copies of Products and the sources.

You may convey verbatim copies of Product and the Works's sources, as you receive them, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publishes on each such copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this Agreement, accompanied at the same medium (1) a written copy of the Products’ Corresponding Sources or (2) access to a copy of the Products’ Corresponding Sources that is covered by this Agreement (including that which was used to Make the Product) from a network server at no charge and including an human readable link to that Products’ Corresponding Source, and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 9 that apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this Agreement along with the Product or the Works’ sources.

You may charge any price or no price for each such copy that you conveys, and you  may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

        5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a modified version of the Works (except for the Marks and User Marks, which may not be modified), or the modifications to produce it from the Works, in the form of sources under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meets all of these conditions:

  * a) The modified version of the Works must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
  * b) The modified version of the Works must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this Agreement and any conditions added under section 9. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
  * c) You must license the entire modified version of the Works, as a whole, under this Agreement to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This Agreement will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 9 additional terms, to the whole of the modified version of the Works, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This Agreement gives no permission to license the modified version of the Works in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
  * d) If the modified version of the Works has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Works  do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, the modified version of Works need not make them do so.
  * e) The Marks of the Works must be preserved and not removed in the modified version of the Works under the terms of section 7. Furthermore for any part of the Works, the Mark Code must be either preserved or replaced by a Mark Code that generates a similar output at any part of the works the Marks in order to preserve the visibility of the Marks.

        6. Non-Source Forms of Works or of Products.

You may convey a Work in Object Work form (including the Product), under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also conveys the machine or human readable Corresponding Sources including which was used to Make the Product, under the terms of this Agreement, in one of these ways:

  * a) Convey the Object Work or Product accompanied by the Corresponding Source, including that which was used to Make the Product, fixed on a durable physical readable medium or customarily used for software interchange.
  * b) Convey the Object Work or Product , accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts, warranty or customer support for that Product model, to give anyone who possesses the Object Work either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all Object Work that is covered by this Agreement including that which was used to Make any Product, on a durable physical readable medium or customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Sources, including that which was used to Make the Product, that is covered by this Agreement  from a network server at no charge and including an human readable link to that Corresponding Source in the Object Work, through a visual interface or in some visible way in or with the Products.
  * c) Convey individual copies of the Object Work or the Product with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source including that which was used to Make the Product. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the Object Work with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
  * d) Convey the Object Work or the Product by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer access from a designated place to the Corresponding Source including that which was used to Make the Product in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy that Corresponding Source along with the Object Work. The place can be a physical address, point of distribution or sell or other options depending on the case. If the place to copy the Object Work is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the Object Work saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remains obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
* e) Convey the Object Work using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the Object Work and Corresponding Source including that which was used to Make the Product and all Computerized Covered Code that is covered by this Agreement are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

A separable portion of the Object Work of any Program, whose sources is excluded from the Corresponding Source as an Additional Component, need not be included in conveying the Object Work. However if the Additional Component is a material, a part or sub-assembly you have to include in source if its composition, formulation and any other information relative to its configuration and programming files and information about its characteristics and interfaces are in the public domain, with explicit indication how to find this information, or in the case it is not in the public domain, providing explicit alternatives which are in the public domain.  

“Assembling Information” for a Product means any documented or not methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to Make, assemble, install, use, execute in case of programs or otherwise to perform modified versions of a Work for that Product from a modified version of the Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified Object Work is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been performed.

If you convey an Object Work the User conveys an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use within, a Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Assembling Information.

The requirement to provide Assembling Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Assembling Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in sources form), and must require no special password or key for unlocking, unpacking, reading or copying.

        7. Using The Marks.

The Marks and User Marks are intended to identify the origin of the Works (including the Product) as well as the licensing model defined by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
You shall, and are granted a license subject to the conditions and instructions of this Agreement to, retain, use and display the Marks and User Marks only in association with the manufacturing, making, distribution, propagating, conveying and sale of the Works.  The Marks, User Marks and the Marks Code cannot be removed from the Works or their modified versions.

Modification of the Marks and User Marks is not authorized by this agreement, and you are not authorized to use the Marks or User Marks in a context different from that intended by the Works or a context not listed in this Section.

A” false advertisement claim” is the use of false, misleading or unproven information or claim to distribute, convey, label or otherwise advertise any form of the Works including products to users, no matter if the advertising discloses its source or not. Forms of false advertisement claiming are for example to promote or say that a product has a health benefit or contains components that it in fact does not or was not proven to have. Many governments use regulations to control false advertisements and these will infringe local laws. A false advertisement claim can further be classified as deceptive if the advertiser deliberately misleads the user, as opposed to making an honest mistake. False advertisement claims are missuses of the Marks and User Marks that can hurt Users in many ways by associating by associating false advertisement claims with Users that did not authored them including Contributors. Products that are intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease must undergo regulatory testing and approval, which is usually very expensive and false advertisement claims about these issues can affect the health of people. 

Any other action on the Marks and User Marks will be considered trademark infringement, unless otherwise permissible under law. Non authorized actions include for example to directly or indirectly register or use any other trade name, trademark, or service mark incorporating or based in whole or in part on any of the Marks or use any of them as part of any corporate or trade name, as part of prominent signage displaying its business name, or in connection with any other unauthorized  goods or services, use the Marks or User Marks in combination with false advertise claims, any other trademarks, debrand, rebrand, or private label, hold your out as having any ownership interest in the Marks or User Marks, engage in any conduct that would constitute Infringement of or otherwise affect either the Owner's interest in the Marks, dispute the validity, ownership, or enforceability of any of the Marks or User Marks, invalidate, dilute, or otherwise adversely affect the value of the goodwill associated with the Marks or User Marks as defined by this Agreement, or engage in any conduct that would constitute infringement of, or otherwise harm, the trademark rights of any third parties.

The use of either the Marks or User Marks in association of false advertise claims will revoke this Agreement from you under the terms of section 10.

Continuity and maintenance of trademark enforcement. The use of this agreement enforces the obligation of keeping the Marks and User Marks in the Works and distributing, propagating or conveying them under the terms of this Agreement. The free-of-charge license to distribute the Mark and User Marks is to be understood as an enforcement of the Mark and User Marks as a way to designate and promote the empowerment and freedoms granted by the Agreement and never as an abandoning of the Marks and User Marks. The Owner is entitled to regularly verify the way of the Works and the Marks and User Marks are distributed, propagated or conveyed, including in connection with Products. In addition you have the obligation to make public the usage of the Marks and User Marks as required by this Agreement or alternatively, to send samples pursuant to the Owner’s  reasonable request.

        8. Addition of other trademarks

You may add a Valid Trademark other than the Mark to a modified version of the Work that you convey, and which was not included in the version of the Work that you received), This Valid Trademark, is considered an “User Mark” for any downstream recipient of the Works if you meet all of the following conditions: (1) your modified version of the Work  includes changes or improvements that involve at least one Functionality that does not exist in the Works as conveyed to you, (2) all the newly added Functionalities of the modified Work are explicitly included and described in the Corresponding sources of the modified Work, (3) the trademark was registered by a competent trademark authority, such as the USPTO  and (4) you are the exclusive owner of the all title to the New Mark or are lawfully licensed to use it and grant onward licenses to it.

To add a New Mark to the Work, you must
 1.) include an appendix to this agreement containing the following text

The [TRADEMARKS] trademark(s) with serial number(s) [SERIAL NUMBERS] registered under the laws of [JURISDICTION OF REGISTRATION] which are in full control and ownership of the [LICENSOR ADDRESS] whose principal address or place of residence is [LICENSOR ADDRESS] and are included as part of the User Marks of the Works starting from [EFFECTIVE DATE]

replacing the TRADEMARKS field by the New Mark, the SERIAL NUMBER field by the SERIAL numbers, the JURISDICTION OF REGISTRATION by the territories in which the New Mark is registered, the LICENSOR NAME field by the person having title to the New Mark in control and/ or ownership, the LICENSOR ADDRESS field by address of the person or entity having title and the EFFECTIVE DATE field by the effective date of the appendix. Fields are expressly delimited by brackets.

2.) include a description of the added trademarks

3.) add a copy of the appendix to every copy of the Agreement as requested by sections 4, 5 and 6 and as part as the Appropriate Legal Notices.

By adding New Marks as indicated above, you are granting all downstream recipients of your modified Work a licensed to the New Mark as per Section 7 above.

Under this agreement the Owners whose Marks or User Marks are implicated by the licensing of a give version of the Works have the right to jointly with the written explicit consent of all the Owners offer alternative licensing for that version of the Works or part of them (but may not do so separately or without the explicit consent for including all the Marks and User Marks that are implicated in the terms of the alternative licensing). This alternative license can be done for example by imposing a fee for rebranding outside the terms of this Agreement and these hypothetical rebranding terms will be valid for that version of the Work wherein all the Owners whose Marks or User Marks are implicated agree, but not, for example, to modified versions of the Works having new Marks or new User Marks not present in the original Work. If you add a New Mark in accordance with the terms above, you also benefit from this right, but  only in the case you add  to a modified version of the Works Functionality that does not exist in the Works as conveyed to you. You  may be interested as well to restrict others from using your new Functionalities through the use of patent rights, but all such restrictions are limited to the term of section 13 on patent claims and thus  the freedom of downstream recipients are  guaranteed. In case of a combination of trademarks and patent claims will restrict/ menace the ability of downstream recipients  to use, convey, modify, propagate and/ or study the Work, these restrictions will be eliminated and or avoided by modifying the terms of future versions of the Agreement.

        9. Additional Terms.

“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this Agreement by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Works shall be treated as though they were included in this Agreement, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Works, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Works remains governed by this Agreement without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.(Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you haves or can give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, for material you adds to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this Agreement with terms:

  * a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 16 and 17 of this agreement; or
  * b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
  * c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
  * d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or
  * e) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
  * f)  You have permission to link or combine any Work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License and to convey the resulting combined work. The terms of this Agreement will continue to apply to the part which is the Work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such. Other terms of the GNU Affero General Public License will not apply for the Work unless expressly agree with the terms of this Agreement. For any dispute the terms of this Agreement will prevalence over those of the GNU Affero General Public License.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
restrictions” within the meaning of section 12. If the Works as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this Agreement along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this Agreement, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you adds terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.

        10. Termination.

You may not propagate or modify a Work except as expressly
provided under this Agreement. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this Agreement (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 12).

However, if you cease all violation of this Agreement, then your license from a particular copyright and/or trademark holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright and/or trademark holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright and/or trademark holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright and/or trademark holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright and/or trademark holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this Agreement (for any Work) from that copyright and/or trademark holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of  your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this Agreement. If your  rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you does not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 12.

        11. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this Agreement in order to Make Products or receive, build, assemble, otherwise use or run a copy of the Works. Ancillary propagation of a Work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this Agreement grants you permission to propagate or modify any Work. These actions infringe copyright and trademark rights if you do not accept this Agreement. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a Work, you indicate your acceptance of this Agreement to do so.

        12. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you conveys a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this Agreement. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this Agreement.

An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who   receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this Agreement. For example, he may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this Agreement, and he may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Works or any portion of it.

        13. Patents.

A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this Agreement of the Works or a work on which the Works are based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.

A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this Agreement, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version in the terms of this Agreement. This licensing does not applies for forks different from the contributor version and its modified versions i.e. if the contributor version is a modified work derived from an original work then there is not licensing of patent claims of modified works of this original work that are not modified versions of the contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

If you conveys a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this Agreement, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this Agreement, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you haves reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you conveys, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grants is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this Agreement. You may not convey a covered work if he is a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you makes payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with
specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 November 2019.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

        14. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this Agreement, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this Agreement. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this Agreement and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agrees to terms that obligate he to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom he conveys the Works, the only way you could satisfy both those
terms and this Agreement would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Works.

        15. Revised Versions of this Agreement.

The Linds Corp may publish revised and/or new versions of the LINDS General Public Agreement from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Works specifies that a certain numbered version of the LINDS General Public Agreement “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Linds Corp. If the Works does not specify a version number of the LINDS General Public Agreement, you may choose any version ever published by Linds Corp.

If the Works specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the LINDS General Public Agreement can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Works.

Later Agreement versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

        16. Disclaimer of Warranty.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE WORKS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT AND/ OR TRADEMARKS HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE WORKS “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE WORKS IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE WORKS PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

        17. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT AND/ OR TRADEMARKS HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE Works AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE WORKS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR PHYSICAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE WORKS TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER WORK), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

        18. Interpretation of Sections 16 and 17.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Works, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Works in return for a fee.

      How to Apply These Terms to Your New Works

If you develops a new work, and he wants it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free access technology which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, must attach the following notices to the work. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    <one line to give the work's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
    <Mark and User Marks if apply> are trademark(s) owned by <name of the Owners>

    This work is free access technology: you can redistribute it and/or modify it, but not remove the trademark(s) <Mark and User Marks if apply> under the terms of the LINDS General Public Agreement as published by Linds Corp, either version 1 of the Agreement, or (at your option) any later version.

    This work is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
    LINDS General Public Agreement for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the LINDS General Public Agreement
    along with this work.  If not, see <https://www.lindsinnersole.org/licenses/>.

Also must add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the work includes a program with terminal interaction, must make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>. 
    <Mark and User Marks if apply> are trademark(s) owned by <name of the Owners>
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free access technology, and the user is welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
appropriate parts of the General Public Agreement. Of course, your
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”, and for a physical work a visible and human legible label.

you should also get his employer (if you work as a designer, programmer or engineer) or school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the LINDS General Public Agreement , see <https://www.lindsinnersole.org/licenses/>.

The LINDS General Public Agreement does not permit incorporating your work into proprietary works. If the Work is a subroutine library, a part or piece of a bigger work your may consider it more useful to offer it as a separate work or product.
