+ Server Side Public License
+ VERSION 1, OCTOBER 16, 2018
+
+ Copyright © 2018 MongoDB, Inc.
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
+ license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+ 0. Definitions.
+
+ “This License” refers to Server Side Public License.
+
+ “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
+ works, such as semiconductor masks.
+
+ “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
+ License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
+ “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
+
+ To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
+ a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
+ exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the
+ earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
+
+ A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on
+ the Program.
+
+ To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
+ permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
+ infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
+ computer 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” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
+ parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a
+ computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
+
+ An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
+ extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
+ (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, 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 License, and
+ how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of
+ user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list
+ meets this criterion.
+
+ 1. Source Code.
+
+ The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+ making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
+ work.
+
+ 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. The “System
+ Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as
+ a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
+ Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) 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 source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a
+ major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
+ specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or
+ a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used
+ to run it.
+
+ The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
+ source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run
+ the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control
+ those activities. However, it does not include the work's System
+ Libraries, 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
+ interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
+ the source code 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 users can
+ regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
+
+ The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
+
+ 2. Basic Permissions.
+
+ All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
+ copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
+ conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+ permission to run the unmodified Program, subject to section 13. The
+ output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the
+ output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
+ acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
+ copyright law. Subject to section 13, you may make, run and propagate
+ covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your
+ license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to
+ others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
+ for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
+ that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
+ material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or
+ running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
+ behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them
+ from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their
+ relationship with you.
+
+ Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
+ conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
+ unnecessary.
+
+ 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+
+ No covered 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 covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
+ circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
+ effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the
+ covered 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.
+
+ You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
+ receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+ appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
+ intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms
+ added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices
+ of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this
+ License along with the Program. You may charge any price or no price for
+ each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty
+ protection for a fee.
+
+ 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+
+ You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
+ produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms
+ of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
+ and giving a relevant date.
+
+ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
+ under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
+ requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
+ notices”.
+
+ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
+ anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
+ apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the
+ whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
+ packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any
+ other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
+ separately received it.
+
+ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+ Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+ interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
+ need not make them do so.
+
+ A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
+ works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and
+ which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on
+ a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if
+ the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the
+ access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the
+ individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does
+ not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
+
+ 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+
+ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
+ sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
+ Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
+ ways:
+
+ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+ Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
+ used for software interchange.
+
+ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
+ offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
+ offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
+ anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
+ Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
+ covered by this License, on a durable physical medium 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 Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
+ allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received
+ the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
+
+ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
+ (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+ Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
+ the object code 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 code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
+ Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
+ obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
+ satisfy these requirements.
+
+ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
+ inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
+ the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
+ subsection 6d.
+
+ A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
+ from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included
+ in conveying the object code work.
+
+ 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 modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
+ a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
+ suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
+ code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
+ modification has been made.
+
+ If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
+ specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying 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 conveyed 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
+ 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.
+
+ Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation 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 source code form),
+ and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
+ copying.
+
+ 7. Additional Terms.
+
+ “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
+ License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
+ Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be
+ treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
+ they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only
+ to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those
+ permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
+ 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 have or can give appropriate copyright
+ permission.
+
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
+ to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
+ that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
+
+ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; 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) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
+ names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+ f) 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.
+
+ All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
+ restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
+ received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
+ governed by this License 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 License, 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 add 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.
+
+ 8. Termination.
+
+ You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
+ provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify
+ it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
+ License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph
+ of section 11).
+
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
+ from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
+ unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates
+ your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright 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 holder is reinstated
+ permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
+ reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of
+ violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright 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 License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
+ reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
+ material under section 10.
+
+ 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+
+ You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
+ copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered 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 License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
+ work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
+ Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
+ acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+ 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+
+ Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives
+ a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
+ work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing
+ compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+ 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 License. For example, you may not impose a
+ license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted
+ under this License, and you 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 Program or any portion of it.
+
+ 11. Patents.
+
+ A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
+ License of the Program or a work on which the Program is 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
+ License, 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 License.
+
+ 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 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 convey 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 License, 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 License, 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 have reason
+ to believe are valid.
+
+ If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
+ arrangement, you convey, 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 grant 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 License. You may not convey a covered work if you are
+ a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of
+ distributing software, under which you make 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 March 2007.
+
+ Nothing in this License 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.
+
+ 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+
+ If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot use,
+ propagate or convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
+ obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
+ as a consequence you may not use, propagate or convey it at all. For
+ example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
+ further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way
+ you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain
+ entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+ 13. Offering the Program as a Service.
+
+ If you make the functionality of the Program or a modified version
+ available to third parties as a service, you must make the Service Source
+ Code available via network download to everyone at no charge, under the
+ terms of this License. Making the functionality of the Program or
+ modified version available to third parties as a service includes,
+ without limitation, enabling third parties to interact with the
+ functionality of the Program or modified version remotely through a
+ computer network, offering a service the value of which entirely or
+ primarily derives from the value of the Program or modified version, or
+ offering a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the
+ Software or modified version.
+
+ “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or
+ the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that
+ you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service,
+ including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces,
+ application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software,
+ backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a
+ user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code
+ you make available.
+
+ 14. Revised Versions of this License.
+
+ MongoDB, Inc. may publish revised and/or new versions of the Server Side
+ Public License 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 Program
+ specifies that a certain numbered version of the Server Side Public
+ License “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 MongoDB, Inc. If the Program does not
+ specify a version number of the Server Side Public License, you may
+ choose any version ever published by MongoDB, Inc.
+
+ If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
+ the Server Side Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
+ of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that
+ version for the Program.
+
+ Later license 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.
+
+ 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+
+ THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
+ APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
+ HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “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 PROGRAM
+ IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
+ ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ 16. Limitation of Liability.
+
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
+ THE PROGRAM 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 PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+ LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
+ OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+ PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+ POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+ 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
+
