For the purposes of this definition, "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.<br> <br> "Contributor" means the Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by the Licensor and subsequently incorporated within the Work.<br> <br> "Contribution" means any work of authorship, including the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally submitted to the Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."<br> <br> "Derivative Works" means any work, whether in Source Code Form or Binary Form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For purposes of this License, Derivative Works do not include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof.<br> <br> "Source Code Form" means the preferred form of the Work for making modifications, including but not limited to human-readable source code, documentation source, and configuration files.<br> <br> "Binary Form" means any form of the Work resulting from mechanical transformation or translation of a Source Code Form, including but not limited to compiled object code, minified or transpiled code, generated documentation, and conversions to other media types.<br> <br> "Publicly Accessible" means accessible to the general public via the internet without requiring authentication or membership in a restricted group.<br> <br> "Geoblocking" means any technical or contractual measure that restricts or prevents access to the Work, in whole or in part, based on the geographic location of a user or recipient, whether implemented to comply with applicable law or as a matter of Your own business or operational decision, including restrictions based on Internet Protocol address, mobile network or carrier, device or account region settings, payment instrument issuing country, or similar location signals.<br> <br> 1. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source Code Form or Binary Form. You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with the conditions stated in this License.<br> <br> 2. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this Section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such license applies only to those patent claims, both currently owned by the Contributor and acquired in future, licensable by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. This grant does not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the Work. If You or Your agent or exclusive licensee institute or order or agree to the institution of patent litigation or any other patent enforcement activity against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or any Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any patent rights granted to You under this License for the Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.<br> <br> 3. Redistributions in Source Code Form. Redistributions of the Work in Source Code Form, including in the Source Code Form of any Derivative Works that You distribute, must retain the copyright notice and this License, together with all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices appearing in the Source Code Form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works.<br> <br> 4. Redistributions via Website or Webpage. For purposes of this License, redistribution of the Work via a website or web application occurs whenever a user's browser receives a copy of the Work, in Source Code Form or Binary Form, as part of using a Publicly Accessible website or web application — including on initial page load and through any subsequent or on-demand transfer, such as dynamic imports, code-split bundles, service workers, or web workers. Where such redistribution occurs, the following conditions apply:<br> <br> (a) Responsible Party. The obligations of this Section fall on the operator of the website or web application that causes the Work to be delivered to the user (the "Publisher"). Where the Work is served through a content delivery network or other hosting intermediary acting solely at the Publisher's direction and without modifying the Work, that intermediary bears no obligation under this Section.<br> <br> (b) Visible Notice. The Publisher must include, within the content rendered to the user by the website or web application — in a place reasonably likely to be encountered during ordinary use, such as a footer, credits page, settings panel, or comparable location — a statement that the website or web application incorporates the Work and is governed in part by this License. A notice satisfies this subsection only if it forms part of the content presented to the user; a notice present solely in the Source Code Form, markup comments, metadata, or HTTP headers does not satisfy this subsection.<br> <br> (c) Full Text Availability. The Publisher must make the copyright notice and this License available in full at a stable, Publicly Accessible URL referenced by the notice required under subsection (b). This URL may be hosted on any domain or subdomain the Publisher Controls and need not match the domain from which the Work is served. For purposes of this subsection, "Controls" means that the Publisher (i) is the registrant, or holds a registration, lease, or similar contractual right, in the domain; or (ii) has, through a hosting, platform, or similar service, the practical ability to publish, modify, or remove content served at that domain or subdomain, regardless of whether the Publisher holds the underlying domain registration. The Publisher must maintain this URL as Publicly Accessible for as long as the Work continues to be redistributed under this Section, subject to subsection (e).<br> <br> (d) Embedded Notice (Optional). In addition to, and not as a substitute for, subsections (b) and (c), the Publisher may embed a copyright notice and reference to this License as a comment within the Source Code Form or Binary Form of the Work as delivered to the user's browser. Compliance with subsections (b) and (c) is not excused by the absence, removal, or obscuring of any such embedded comment during minification, transpilation, bundling, or similar mechanical transformation.<br> <br> (e) Temporary Unavailability; Cure. A lapse in the availability of the URL required under subsection (c) is not, by itself, a breach of this Section. If a Contributor gives the Publisher written notice that the URL is not Publicly Accessible, the Publisher must, within thirty (30) days of receiving that notice: (i) state the reason the URL became unavailable; and (ii) restore the URL, or designate and publish a replacement stable, Publicly Accessible URL satisfying subsection (c) and update the reference required under subsection (b) accordingly. This thirty (30) day period is fixed by this License and does not require agreement between the Publisher and the Contributor. A Publisher who completes the actions described in clauses (i) and (ii) within this period is deemed to have remained in compliance with subsection (c) throughout the period of unavailability. A Publisher who fails to do so is in breach of this Section as of the expiration of the thirty (30) day period.<br> <br> (f) Publisher's Counter-Notice. Within ten (10) days after receiving a Contributor's written notice under subsection (e) that the URL is not Publicly Accessible, the Publisher may respond with a written counter-notice stating (i) the specific date and time by which the URL will be restored, or a replacement URL satisfying subsection (c) will be published, and (ii) the reason for the unavailability. A counter-notice may not state a date and time later than the expiration of the thirty (30) day period stated in subsection (e), unless the Contributor who gave the notice agrees in writing to a later date. Subject to the foregoing, the date and time stated in a counter-notice issued under this subsection is final once given and is not subject to further negotiation. If the Publisher restores the URL, or publishes a replacement URL satisfying subsection (c) and updates the reference required under subsection (b), by the date and time stated in its counter-notice, the Publisher is deemed to have remained in compliance with subsection (c) throughout the period of unavailability. If the Publisher fails to do so, the Publisher is in breach of this Section as of the date and time stated in the counter-notice, to the same extent as a Publisher who fails to cure within the thirty (30) day period under subsection (e), except to the extent the Publisher is entitled to rely on Section 10 (Inability to Comply Due to Law or Geoblocking).<br> <br> 5. Redistributions in Binary Form — Non-Web. Redistributions of the Work in Binary Form used for any purpose other than a Publicly Accessible website or webpage must reproduce the copyright notice and this License in the documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution.<br> <br> 6. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement You may have executed with the Licensor regarding such Contributions. Submission of a Contribution under this Section is also subject to Section 9 (Moral Rights).<br> <br> 7. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor or its Contributors, except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work. Neither the name of the Licensor nor the names of its Contributors may be used to endorse or promote products derived from the Work without specific prior written permission.<br> <br> 8. No Warranty of Non-Infringement; Recipient Responsibility. You understand that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Work does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third-party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Work, it is Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Work. Each Contributor represents that, to its knowledge, it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this License.<br> <br> 9. Moral Rights.<br> <br> (a) Waiver Where Possible. To the extent any moral rights (including rights of attribution and integrity, however denominated under applicable law) subsist in the Work or a Contribution and would otherwise be exercisable against You for Your exercise of the rights granted under this License, each Contributor, with respect to that Contributor's own Contribution, and the Licensor, with respect to the Work as a whole, waives such moral rights to the extent such a waiver is permitted by the law applicable to that Contributor or the Licensor, as the case may be.<br> <br> (b) Non-Assertion Where Waiver Is Not Possible. To the extent such a waiver is not permitted under applicable law, the Contributor or Licensor, as applicable, instead agrees not to assert such moral rights against You, for so long as You exercise the rights granted under this License.<br> <br> (c) Scope. This Section does not waive, and no Contributor or the Licensor intends to waive, any moral rights held against any person other than You, nor any moral rights in any work other than the Work or that Contributor's own Contribution.<br> <br> (d) Independence from Section 4. The waiver in subsection (a) and the non-assertion in subsection (b) are not conditioned on, and are not terminated, suspended, or revoked by, a breach of Section 4, including a failure to cure under Section 4(e) or 4(f). Termination of the copyright or patent licenses granted under Sections 1 and 2 for breach of this License does not, by itself, reinstate any moral rights claim with respect to Your use of the Work occurring before that termination.<br> <br> (e) Successors. Each Contributor and the Licensor intends, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the waiver and non-assertion in this Section to bind that Contributor's or the Licensor's successors, heirs, and assigns. Where applicable law does not permit a moral rights waiver or non-assertion to bind successors, heirs, or assigns, this Section does not purport to do so.<br> <br> (f) Contributions. Submission of a Contribution under Section 6 constitutes the Contributor's agreement to this Section 9 with respect to that Contribution, on the same terms as apply to the Licensor with respect to the Work.<br> <br> 10. Inability to Comply Due to Law or Geoblocking. If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Work due to statute, judicial order, regulation, or Geoblocking, then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) inform, by any reasonable means, those who may access the Work from You of the respects in which You are unable to comply and the portions of the Work affected. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, the information provided under subsection (b) must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to understand it.<br> <br> 11. Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability.<br> <br> THE WORK IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS AND CONTRIBUTORS "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED.

It does not govern any Work You choose to release under this License. To apply the Linkumori Free License to Your own Work, attach the following notice to each file, replacing the bracketed fields with Your own information. Do not include the brackets.<br> <br> Copyright [YEAR] [YOUR NAME OR ORGANIZATION]<br> <br> Licensed under the Linkumori Free License, Version 1.0 (the "License");<br> you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.<br> You may obtain a copy of the License at:<br> <br> [URL WHERE YOU HOST THE LICENSE TEXT]<br> <br> Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the Work<br> distributed under the License is provided on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT<br> WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the<br> License for the specific language governing permissions and limitations<br> under the License.<br> <br> For source files, place this notice at the top of each file.<br> <br> For binary distributions (non-web), reproduce this notice in the documentation or other materials provided with the distribution, as required by Section 5 of the License.<br> <br> For web distributions, place the visible notice required by Section 4(b) of the License in the rendered content of Your website or web application, and make the full text required by Section 4(c) available at a stable URL You Control. A dedicated /licenses or /credits page is a common and acceptable location for the full text. If that URL ever becomes unavailable, Section 4(e) gives You a fixed thirty-day window after notice to state why and either restore it or publish a replacement — a brief outage is not itself a breach. Section 4(f) also lets You respond to that notice with Your own specific restoration date, which then controls in place of the thirty-day window, so long as it falls within the thirty days (or later, if the Contributor who gave notice agrees in writing).<br> <br> If Your Work has multiple copyright owners (for example, where Contributors have added to the original), each owner's copyright should be listed on a separate line:<br> <br> Copyright [YEAR] [ORIGINAL AUTHOR]<br> Copyright [YEAR] [CONTRIBUTOR NAME]<br> <br> Licensed under the Linkumori Free License, Version 1.0 (the "License");<br> you may not use this file except in compliance with the License.<br> You may obtain a copy of the License at:<br> <br> [URL WHERE YOU HOST THE LICENSE TEXT]<br> <br> Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, the Work<br> distributed under the License is provided on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT<br> WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.

That older draft was the one shared with you through the OSI license-review list, rather than the updated draft I had prepared. I've attached the correct, current draft to this email.<br> <br> In going back through the version that was shared via license-review, I found that many of the issues you raised in your earlier comments, including the inconsistent "copyright holder" vs. "copyright owner" usage, the mixed BSD/Apache/GPL language in the patent grant, the undefined "following disclaimer" reference, the Section 4 notice and cure language, and others, were in fact still present in it. I've since gone through and addressed the majority of them in the attached version, and wanted to get the corrected draft in front of you directly so any further review is based on this one rather than the one circulated on license-review.<br> <br> Apologies for the mix-up, and thank you again for the thorough feedback.

For example, if a third-party patent license is required to allow You to distribute the Work, it is Your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Work. Each Contributor represents that, to its knowledge, it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this License.<br> <br> 9. Moral Rights.<br> <br> (a) Waiver Where Possible. To the extent any moral rights (including rights of attribution and integrity, however denominated under applicable law) subsist in the Work or a Contribution and would otherwise be exercisable against You for Your exercise of the rights granted under this License, each Contributor, with respect to that Contributor's own Contribution, and the Licensor, with respect to the Work as a whole, waives such moral rights to the extent such a waiver is permitted by the law applicable to that Contributor or the Licensor, as the case may be.<br> <br> (b) Non-Assertion Where Waiver Is Not Possible. To the extent such a waiver is not permitted under applicable law, the Contributor or Licensor, as applicable, instead agrees not to assert such moral rights against You, for so long as You exercise the rights granted under this License.<br> <br> (c) Scope. This Section does not waive, and no Contributor or the Licensor intends to waive, any moral rights held against any person other than You, nor any moral rights in any work other than the Work or that Contributor's own Contribution.<br> <br> (d) Independence from Section 4. The waiver in subsection (a) and the non-assertion in subsection (b) are not conditioned on, and are not terminated, suspended, or revoked by, a breach of Section 4, including a failure to cure under Section 4(e). Termination of the copyright or patent licenses granted under Sections 1 and 2 for breach of this License does not, by itself, reinstate any moral rights claim with respect to Your use of the Work occurring before that termination.<br> <br> (e) Successors. Each Contributor and the Licensor intends, to the extent permitted by applicable law, for the waiver and non-assertion in this Section to bind that Contributor's or the Licensor's successors, heirs, and assigns. Where applicable law does not permit a moral rights waiver or non-assertion to bind successors, heirs, or assigns, this Section does not purport to do so.<br> <br> (f) Contributions. Submission of a Contribution under Section 6 constitutes the Contributor's agreement to this Section 9 with respect to that Contribution, on the same terms as apply to the Licensor with respect to the Work.<br> <br> 10. Inability to Comply Due to Law or Geoblocking. If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Work due to statute, judicial order, regulation, or geoblocking, then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) inform, by any reasonable means, those who may access the Work from You of the respects in which You are unable to comply and the portions of the Work affected. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, the information provided under subsection (b) must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to understand it.<br> <br> 11.

A notice served from any subdomain of the registered domain satisfies this requirement</i>." The last sentence seems to say that I can put the notice on any subdomain without having to comply with the preceding sentence that the location be included in the source code form. So it could be a needle in a haystack of subdomains? And can you give an example of how the notice might be "reasonably discoverable from [the source code form]"? Where am I seeing the source code to see the notice?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">And what are you trying to accomplish with the complexity of the registered domain? First, it's not clear whether "Registered domain" as defined means a second/top level domain or it can mean subdomain/second/top level domain. But why not just say it has to be clearly identified? Why does it have to be on the same domain?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">What is the problem that the CDN section is trying to solve? </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">In Section 4(b) you refer to "this list of conditions." What list of conditions? Between the definitions and Section 1 (P.S., don't have unnumbered paragraphs), you say "the following conditions" -- so is it only Section 1 through (whatever the end is) that are the conditions? Why not just make it the license? </span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">In 4(c) you refer to "this section's notice requirement." There is a distribution requirement in 4(b), is that the one you mean?</span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:0in;line-height:100%" align="left"><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Why is distribution in binary form in a new section 5 rather than a subsection of section 4? The introduction to Section 4 says the section is for Source Code Form and Binary Form, so why would the requirements for Binary Code be in a new section? Section 4(d) is also for transpiled code, which you have defined as Binary Code in the definitions, so why are you treating this one specific type of binary code differently from the other types of binary?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">There are also a number of drafting problems that I won't redline, but I will make a few comments:</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Be consistent. You use "shall" in some definitions and not others.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Don't mix language from different licenses. Each license has its own structure and definitions, so plucking words or sections out and using them in another license doesn't work. You added language from the BSD license ("Redistribution and use in source and binary forms, with or without modification, are permitted provided that the following conditions are met") but it is redundant to parts of the Apache license that you kept. I see you added "run, modify and propagate" to the patent grant language. I believe "propagate" is a term unique to the $GPLv3 licenses and it is defined there, so it doesn't work here without that definition. Why did you add "run, modify"? The Apache patent license grant lists all of the US exclusive rights of a patent owner, so what do "run" and "modify" add? </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">You've moved some of the notice provisions from a stand-alone paragraph to the copyright grant. Why? Does that mean they are no longer conditions of the patent grant?</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">You've changed some of the original Apache words to words that, in my opinion, are worse. What is the reason for changing "copyright owner" to "copyright holder"? I don't know what a "holder" is but I do know what an "owner" is. Is a non-exclusive licensee a "holder"? And you haven't changed it consistently throughout, which means you're creating an argument that there is some difference between a "copyright holder" and a "copyright owner."</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">You've defined "Publicly Displayed or Performed" as a unitary term, but then in the copyright grant referred to two separate rights, "publicly display, publicly perform." If you define a term, you need to use it that way.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">You refer to "following disclaimer" but I don't see any disclaimer anywhere, at least not described as such. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">You need to be sure that your capitalization of defined terms is consistent throughout.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Pam</span></p> <div><span style="font-family:times new roman,serif">Pamela S.

GRANT OF PATENT LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this<br> License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide,<br> non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in<br> this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell,<br> import, transfer, and otherwise run, modify, and propagate the Work, where<br> such license applies only to those patent claims, both currently owned by<br> the Contributor and acquired in future, licensable by such Contributor<br> that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by<br> combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such<br> Contribution(s) was submitted.

REDISTRIBUTIONS IN SOURCE CODE FORM. Redistributions of the Work in<br> Source Code Form must retain the copyright notice, this list of<br> conditions, and the following disclaimer.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> 4. REDISTRIBUTIONS VIA WEBSITE OR WEBPAGE. For the purposes of this License,<br> redistribution of the Work via a website or webpage is defined as occurring<br> only when a user's browser automatically downloads the Source Code Form or<br> Binary Form of the Work as part of loading, rendering, or executing that<br> webpage. Where such redistribution takes place on a Publicly Accessible<br> website or webpage, the following conditions apply:<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> (a) REGISTERED DOMAIN. "Registered domain" means any domain and its subdomains<br> that a reasonable person would recognize as being operated by the same Legal Entity.<br> For example, <a href="http://example.com" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">example.com</a>, <a href="http://docs.example.com" target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">docs.example.com</a>,and cdn.example.comare all considered to <br> share the same registered domain. Where ownership or operation of a domain is ambiguous,<br> the determination shall be made in favor of the party seeking to comply with this License.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> (b) NOTICE REQUIREMENT. The copyright notice, this list of<br> conditions, and the following disclaimer must be reproduced on at least<br> one Publicly Accessible webpage served from the same registered domain<br> as the webpage that causes the download. Such notice need not appear on<br> the same webpage as the redistribution, provided it is accessible at a<br> stable URL on that registered domain and that URL is either disclosed<br> in the Source Code Form of the redistributing webpage or reasonably<br> discoverable from it. A notice served from any subdomain of the<br> registered domain satisfies this requirement.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> (c) CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORKS. Where the Work is served from a CDN or<br> third-party hosting service operating under a registered domain<br> different from that of the embedding webpage, the redistribution<br> obligation under this section falls on the operator of the embedding<br> webpage, not on the CDN or hosting service, provided that the CDN or<br> hosting service: (i) serves the Work without modification to its<br> content; and (ii) does so solely at the direction of the embedding<br> party. A CDN operated by the same Legal Entity as the embedding webpage<br> but under a different registered domain may satisfy this section's<br> notice requirement by publication on either the CDN domain or the<br> embedding webpage's domain, provided the notice remains Publicly<br> Accessible.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> (d) BUNDLED AND TRANSPILED DISTRIBUTIONS. Where the Work has been<br> mechanically transformed, minified, concatenated, or otherwise combined<br> with other code into a Binary Form and served as part of a webpage, the<br> notice requirement of subsection (b) applies to the operator of that<br> webpage. Such notice may alternatively be embedded as a comment within<br> the served Binary Form itself, provided the comment is not stripped or<br> obscured prior to delivery to the user's browser.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> 5. REDISTRIBUTIONS IN BINARY FORM — NON-WEB. Redistributions of the Work in<br> Binary Form used for any purpose other than a Publicly Displayed or<br> Performed website or webpage must reproduce the copyright notice,<br> this list of conditions, and the following disclaimer in the documentation<br> and/or other materials provided with the distribution.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> 6. SUBMISSION OF CONTRIBUTIONS. Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any<br> Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work by You to<br> the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of this License,<br> without any additional terms or conditions. Notwithstanding the above,<br> nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license<br> agreement You may have executed with the Licensor regarding such<br> Contributions.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> 7. TRADEMARKS. This License does not grant permission to use the trade names,<br> trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor or its<br> Contributors, except as required for reasonable and customary use in<br> describing the origin of the Work. Neither the name of the copyright holder<br> nor the names of its Contributors may be used to endorse or promote products<br> derived from the Work without specific prior written permission.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> 8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY DISCLAIMER AND RECIPIENT RESPONSIBILITY. You<br> understand that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its<br> Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any<br> Contributor that the Work does not infringe the patent or other intellectual<br> property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any<br> liability to You for claims brought by any other entity based on<br> infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition<br> to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, You hereby assume<br> sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed,<br> if any. For example, if a third-party patent license is required to allow<br> You to distribute the Work, it is Your responsibility to acquire that<br> license before distributing the Work.

I am the license author and steward.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> By way of introduction: I hold a BA in Social Science from Ambedkar University Delhi, and I am currently a law student at CPJ College of Higher Studies & School of Law, Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Narela, Delhi. My background in social science and my ongoing legal studies informed the drafting of this license, particularly its attention to practical attribution obligations across modern software distribution channels.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> The license text is attached as a plain text file.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> GAP FILLED<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> Existing permissive licenses, including Apache 2.0, MIT, and BSD, were drafted before the widespread adoption of modern web bundling, CDN distribution, and transpiled JavaScript. None of them provide clear, enforceable attribution requirements for these distribution channels. The Linkumori Free License fills this gap through Section 4, which explicitly addresses attribution obligations for web and webpage redistribution, CDN and third-party hosting scenarios, bundled and transpiled Binary Form distributions, and the registered domain standard using the Public Suffix List (eTLD+1).<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> This matters increasingly as IP enforcement around open source software grows and courts are asked to interpret attribution obligations in web contexts where existing license language is silent or ambiguous.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> COMPARISON TO APACHE 2.0<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> The most comparable OSI-approved license is Apache License 2.0. Like Apache 2.0, the Linkumori Free License grants both copyright and patent licenses, permits modification and redistribution in Source and Binary Form, requires retention of attribution notices, contains a trademark non-endorsement clause, and includes a recipient IP responsibility clause.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> The key difference is Section 4, which Apache 2.0 does not have. Apache 2.0's attribution requirements are technology-neutral to the point of being unclear for web distribution. The Linkumori Free License adds explicit web-specific clarity without restricting any field of endeavor.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> OSD COMPLIANCE<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> I affirm that the Linkumori Free License, Version 1.0 complies with the Open Source Definition, and specifically: OSD #3 (Derived Works) is satisfied by Section 1, which expressly permits Derivative Works. OSD #5 (No Discrimination Against Persons or Groups) is satisfied as the license contains no such discrimination. OSD #6 (No Discrimination Against Fields of Endeavor) is satisfied as the license imposes no field restrictions. OSD #9 (License Must Not Restrict Other Software) is satisfied as the license applies only to the Work itself.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> LEGAL REVIEW<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> The license was drafted by me as a law student. It has not undergone independent review by a qualified legal professional, and I welcome scrutiny from the community during this process.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> LICENSE DETAILS<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> Name: Linkumori Free License<br> Version: 1.0<br> Date: June 2026<br> Steward: Linkumori<br> SPDX Identifier: Not yet assigned<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> I am subscribed to this list and will be attentive and responsive to all questions and comments.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> Thank you for your time and consideration.<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> Sincerely,<br> Subham Mahesh<br> Law Student, CPJ College of Higher Studies & School of Law<br> Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University, Narela, Delhi<br> BA Social Science, Ambedkar University Delhi<br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> </span> <span style="font-family:times new roman,serif"><br> DISCLAIMER: This submission and any statements made herein do not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.
