     3  
     4                      Copyright © 2018 MongoDB, Inc.
     5  
     6    Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
     7    license document, but changing it is not allowed.
     8  
     9                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    10  
    11    0. Definitions.
    12    
    13    “This License” refers to Server Side Public License.
    14  
    15    “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
    16    works, such as semiconductor masks.
    17  
    18    “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    19    License.  Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
    20    “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
    21  
    22    To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
    23    a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
    24    exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the
    25    earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
    26  
    27    A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on
    28    the Program.
    29  
    30    To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
    31    permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    32    infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
    33    computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
    34    distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
    35    public, and in some countries other activities as well.
    36  
    37    To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    38    parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a
    39    computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
    40  
    41    An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
    42    extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
    43    (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that
    44    there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties
    45    are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and
    46    how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of
    47    user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list
    48    meets this criterion.
    49  
    50    1. Source Code.
    51  
    52    The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
    53    making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
    54    work.
    55  
    56    A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
    57    standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    58    interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is
    59    widely used among developers working in that language.  The “System
    60    Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as
    61    a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
    62    Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves
    63    only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement
    64    a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the
    65    public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a
    66    major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
    67    specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or
    68    a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used
    69    to run it.
    70  
    71    The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
    72    source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run
    73    the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control
    74    those activities. However, it does not include the work's System
    75    Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs
    76    which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are
    77    not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes
    78    interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
    79    the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms
    80    that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate
    81    data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
    82    parts of the work.
    83  
    84    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
    85    regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
    86  
    87    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
    88  
    89    2. Basic Permissions.
    90  
    91    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
    92    copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
    93    conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
    94    permission to run the unmodified Program, subject to section 13. The
    95    output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the
    96    output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
    97    acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
    98    copyright law.  Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate
    99    covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your
   100    license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to
   101    others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
   102    for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
   103    that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
   104    material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or
   105    running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
   106    behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them
   107    from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
   108    relationship with you.
   109  
   110    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
   111    conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
   112    unnecessary.
   113  
   114    3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
   115  
   116    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
   117    measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11
   118    of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws
   119    prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
   120  
   121    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
   122    circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
   123    effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the
   124    covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
   125    modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users,
   126    your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
   127    technological measures.
   128  
   129    4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
   130  
   131    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
   132    receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
   133    appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
   134    intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms
   135    added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices
   136    of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this
   137    License along with the Program.  You may charge any price or no price for
   138    each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty
   139    protection for a fee.
   140  
   141    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
   142  
   143    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
   144    produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms
   145    of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   146  
   147      a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
   148      and giving a relevant date.
   149  
   150      b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
   151      under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
   152      requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
   153      notices”.
   154  
   155      c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
   156      anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
   157      apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the
   158      whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
   159      packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any
   160      other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
   161      separately received it.
   162  
   163      d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
   164      Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
   165      interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
   166      need not make them do so.
   167  
   168    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
   169    works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and
   170    which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on
   171    a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if
   172    the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the
   173    access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the
   174    individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does
   175    not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
   176    
   177    6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
   178  
   179    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
   180    sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
   181    Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
   182    ways:
   183  
   184      a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   185      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
   186      Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
   187      used for software interchange.
   188     
   189      b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   190      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
   191      offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
   192      offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
   193      anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
   194      Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
   195      covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
   196      for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost
   197      of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to
   198      copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
   199     
   200      c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
   201      written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
   202      allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received
   203      the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
   204     
   205      d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
   206      (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
   207      Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
   208      further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
   209      Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
   210      the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on
   211      a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
   212      equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
   213      next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
   214      Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
   215      obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
   216      satisfy these requirements.
   217     
   218      e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
   219      inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
   220      the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
   221      subsection 6d.
   222  
   223    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
   224    from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included
   225    in conveying the object code work.
   226  
   227    A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
   228    tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
   229    or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
   230    into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
   231    doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
   232    product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a
   233    typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
   234    of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
   235    actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
   236    is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
   237    commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
   238    the only significant mode of use of the product.
   239  
   240    “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
   241    procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
   242    and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
   243    a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
   244    suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
   245    code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
   246    modification has been made.
   247  
   248    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
   249    specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part
   250    of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User
   251    Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
   252    (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
   253    Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the
   254    Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither
   255    you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object
   256    code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in
   257    ROM).
   258  
   259    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
   260    requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
   261    for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
   262    the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access
   263    to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially
   264    and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the
   265    rules and protocols for communication across the network.
   266  
   267    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
   268    accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
   269    (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form),
   270    and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
   271    copying.
   272  
   273    7. Additional Terms.
   274  
   275    “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
   276    License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
   277    Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be
   278    treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
   279    they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only
   280    to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those
   281    permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
   282    without regard to the additional permissions.  When you convey a copy of
   283    a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions
   284    from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be
   285    written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the
   286    work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to
   287    a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
   288    permission.
   289  
   290    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
   291    to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
   292    that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
   293  
   294      a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
   295      terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
   296  
   297      b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
   298      author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
   299      Notices displayed by works containing it; or
   300  
   301      c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
   302      requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
   303      reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
   304  
   305      d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
   306      authors of the material; or
   307  
   308      e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
   309      names, trademarks, or service marks; or
   310  
   311      f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material
   312      by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
   313      contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
   314      liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
   315      licensors and authors.
   316  
   317    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
   318    restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
   319    received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
   320    governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
   321    you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
   322    restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
   323    may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
   324    document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
   325    relicensing or conveying.
   326  
   327    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must
   328    place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms
   329    that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the
   330    applicable terms.  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be
   331    stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as
   332    exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
   333  
   334    8. Termination.
   335  
   336    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
   337    provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify
   338    it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
   339    License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph
   340    of section 11).
   341  
   342    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
   343    from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
   344    unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates
   345    your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to
   346    notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days
   347    after the cessation.
   348  
   349    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
   350    permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
   351    reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of
   352    violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and
   353    you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
   354  
   355    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
   356    licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
   357    this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
   358    reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
   359    material under section 10.
   360  
   361    9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
   362  
   363    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
   364    copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
   365    solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a
   366    copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
   367    this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
   368    work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
   369    Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
   370    acceptance of this License to do so.
   371  
   372    10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
   373  
   374    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives
   375    a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
   376    work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing
   377    compliance by third parties with this License.
   378  
   379    An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
   380    organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
   381    organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work
   382    results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who
   383    receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work
   384    the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous
   385    paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
   386    work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can
   387    get it with reasonable efforts.
   388  
   389    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
   390    granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
   391    license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted
   392    under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a
   393    cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim
   394    is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing
   395    the Program or any portion of it.
   396  
   397    11. Patents.
   398  
   399    A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
   400    License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work
   401    thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
   402  
   403    A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
   404    controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter
   405    acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this
   406    License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not
   407    include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
   408    modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition,
   409    “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
   410    consistent with the requirements of this License.
   411  
   412    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
   413    patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make,
   414    use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate
   415    the contents of its contributor version.
   416  
   417    In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
   418    agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
   419    (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
   420    sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party
   421    means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent
   422    against the party.
   423  
   424    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and
   425    the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy,
   426    free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly
   427    available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must
   428    either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2)
   429    arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this
   430    particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the
   431    requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
   432    recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
   433    for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or
   434    your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe
   435    one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason
   436    to believe are valid.
   437  
   438    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
   439    arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
   440    covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving
   441    the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a
   442    specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is
   443    automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works
   444    based on it.
   445  
   446    A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
   447    scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
   448    the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
   449    granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are
   450    a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of
   451    distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party
   452    based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under
   453    which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the
   454    covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
   455    with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
   456    those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
   457    products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
   458    entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior
   459    to 28 March 2007.
   460  
   461    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any
   462    implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
   463    available to you under applicable patent law.
   464  
   465    12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
   466  
   467    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   468    otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   469    excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use,
   470    propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
   471    obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
   472    as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For
   473    example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
   474    further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way
   475    you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain
   476    entirely from conveying the Program.
   477  
   478    13. Offering the Program as a Service.
   479  
   480    If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version
   481    available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source
   482    Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the
   483    terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or
   484    modified version available to third parties as a service includes,
   485    without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the
   486    functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a
   487    computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or
   488    primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or
   489    offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the
   490    Program or modified version.
   491  
   492    “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or
   493    the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that
   494    you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service,
   495    including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces,
   496    application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software,
   497    backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a
   498    user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code
   499    you make available.  
   500  
   501    14. Revised Versions of this License.
   502  
   503    MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server Side
   504    Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
   505    spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
   506    problems or concerns.
   507  
   508    Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
   509    specifies that a certain numbered version of the Server Side Public
   510    License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of
   511    following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of
   512    any later version published by MongoDB, Inc. If the Program does not
   513    specify a version number of the Server Side Public License, you may
   514    choose any version ever published by MongoDB, Inc.
   515  
   516    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
   517    the Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
   518    of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that
   519    version for the Program.
   520  
   521    Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
   522    However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder
   523    as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
   524  
   525    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
   526  
   527    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   528    APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS 
   529    AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
   530    OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
   531    THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   532    PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
   533    IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
   534    ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   535    
   536    16. Limitation of Liability.
   537    
   538    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   539    WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
   540    THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
   541    ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF
   542    THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
   543    LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
   544    OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
   545    PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
   546    POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
   547    
   548    17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
   549  
   550    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above
   551    cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing
   552    courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute
   553    waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
   554    warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in
   555    return for a fee.
   556    
   557                          END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
