Shared Source License for IronPython

This license governs use of the accompanying software ("Software"),
and your use of the Software constitutes acceptance of this license.
You may use the Software for any commercial or noncommercial purpose,
including distributing derivative works.  In return, we simply require
that you agree:

 1) Not to remove any copyright or other notices from the Software.

 2) That if you distribute the Software in source code form you do so
    only under this license (i.e. you must include a complete copy of
    this license with your distribution), and if you distribute the
    Software solely in object form you only do so under a license that
    complies with this license.

 3) That the Software comes "as is", with no warranties. None
    whatsoever. This means no express, implied or statutory warranty,
    including without limitation, warranties of merchantability or
    fitness for a particular purpose or any warranty of title or
    non-infringement. Also, you must pass this disclaimer on whenever you
    distribute the Software or derivative works.

 4) That neither Microsoft nor any contributor to the Software will be
    liable for any of those types of damages known as indirect, special,
    consequential, or incidental related to the Software or this license,
    to the maximum extent the law permits, no matter what legal theory
    it's based on. Also, you must pass this limitation of liability on
    whenever you distribute the Software or derivative works.

 5) That if you sue anyone over patents that you think may apply to
    the Software for a person's use of the Software, your license to the
    Software ends automatically.
	
 6) That the patent rights, if any, granted in this license only apply
    to the Software, not to any derivative works you make.

 7) That if you are an agency of the U.S. Government, (i) Software
    provided pursuant to a solicitation issued on or after December 1,
    1995, is provided with the commercial license rights set forth in
    this license, and (ii) Software provided pursuant to a solicitation
    issued prior to December 1, 1995, is provided with "Restricted
    Rights" as set forth in FAR, 48 C.F.R. 52.227-14 (June 1987) or DFAR,
    48 C.F.R. 252.227-7013 (Oct 1988), as applicable.

 8) That your rights under this License end automatically if you
    breach it in any way.

 9) That all rights not expressly granted to you in this license are
    reserved.


Frequently Asked Questions about the License

Q: Is this license OSI compliant?

A: This license has not been submitted to OSI, but it allows
   developers to take full advantage of a dynamic language on the CLR and
   to have the freedom to distribute their works for the benefit of the
   community at large. The license is half of a page long and very
   straight forward. We believe it stands up to what developers demand of
   an "open" license.

Q: What copyright rights does the license grant me?

A: The license grants you a copyright license to make unlimited
   copies of the Software in source or object code form, as well as to
   create Derivative Works (as that term is defined under US copyright
   law). This means that in addition to making unlimited copies of the
   Software, you have a copyright license to modify the Software and
   to use all or part of the Software to create a Derivative Work.

Q: What patent rights does the license grant me?

A: This license grants you a patent license to use and distribute
   the Software under any Microsoft patent claims that read on the
   Software itself. In other words, if you create a modified version
   of the Software, you still retain the patent license to use and
   distribute the original portions of the Software under the specific
   Microsoft patent claims that read on the Software, but you do not
   have a patent license as to the new functionality you may have
   added by modifying the Software. This result is typical of many
   common open source licenses, including the Common Public License
   (CPL) and the Mozilla Public License (MPL). In addition, this
   license grants no rights to any Microsoft patents that read on
   other components or files not included in the Software. This means
   that no patent license is granted to use or distribute any other
   software or technology that may be needed to use the Software or
   was created from the Software (for example, any compiled output of
   the Software, the combination of the Software with other hardware
   or other software, or any additional enabling technologies that may
   be necessary to make or use the Software or any final product that
   includes the Software).
