[PATCH v2 5/6] copyleft-next: remove section 7 - anti-tivoization

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]


From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The anti-tivoization clauses must go if we want this license
to be ever considered for usage with the Linux kernel.
This patch removes that entire section.

The re-enumerating of the sections is done separately
to make it easier for review.

-  7. User Product Lockdown.
-
-  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
-product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
-is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
-  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
-install and execute Derivative Works of a Covered Work in that User
-Product from a Derivative Work of its Corresponding Source.  The
-information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
-the Object Code Derivative Work is in no case prevented or interfered
-with solely because modification has been made.
-
-  If You distribute an Object Code work under section 5 in, or with,
-or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the distributing
-occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and
-use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity
-or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
-characterized), the Corresponding Source distributed under this
-section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But this
-requirement does not apply if neither You nor any third party retains
-the ability to install modified Object Code on the User Product (for
-example, the work has been installed in non-field-modifiable ROM).
-
-  The requirement to provide Installation 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 User 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.
