Copyright (C) 2020 Ian Walter <pub@ianwalter.dev> (https://ianwalter.dev) ("Licensor")
Hippocratic License Version Number: 2.1.
* Purpose. The purpose of this License is for the Licensor named above to
permit the Licensee (as defined below) broad permission, if consistent with
Human Rights Laws and Human Rights Principles (as each is defined below), to
use and work with the Software (as defined below) within the full scope of
Licensor's copyright and patent rights, if any, in the Software, while
ensuring attribution and protecting the Licensor from liability.
* Permission and Conditions. The Licensor grants permission by this license
("License"), free of charge, to the extent of Licensor's rights under
applicable copyright and patent law, to any person or entity (the "Licensee")
obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the
"Software"), to do everything with the Software that would otherwise infringe
(i) the Licensor's copyright in the Software or (ii) any patent claims to the
Software that the Licensor can license or becomes able to license, subject to
all of the following terms and conditions:
* Acceptance. This License is automatically offered to every person and entity
subject to its terms and conditions. Licensee accepts this License and agrees
to its terms and conditions by taking any action with the Software that, absent
this License, would infringe any intellectual property right held by Licensor.
* Notice. Licensee must ensure that everyone who gets a copy of any part of
this Software from Licensee, with or without changes, also receives the License
and the above copyright notice (and if included by the Licensor, patent,
trademark and attribution notice). Licensee must cause any modified versions of
the Software to carry prominent notices stating that Licensee changed the
Software. For clarity, although Licensee is free to create modifications of the
Software and distribute only the modified portion created by Licensee with
additional or different terms, the portion of the Software not modified must be
distributed pursuant to this License. If anyone notifies Licensee in writing
that Licensee has not complied with this Notice section, Licensee can keep this
License by taking all practical steps to comply within 30 days after the
notice. If Licensee does not do so, Licensee's License (and all rights
licensed hereunder) shall end immediately.
* Compliance with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws.
1. Human Rights Principles.
(a) Licensee is advised to consult the articles of the United Nations
Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Global Compact
that define recognized principles of international human rights (the "Human
Rights Principles"). Licensee shall use the Software in a manner consistent
with Human Rights Principles.
(b) Unless the Licensor and Licensee agree otherwise, any dispute,
controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to (i) Section 1(a) regarding
Human Rights Principles, including the breach of Section 1(a), termination of
this License for breach of the Human Rights Principles, or invalidity of
Section 1(a) or (ii) a determination of whether any Law is consistent or in
conflict with Human Rights Principles pursuant to Section 2, below, shall be
settled by arbitration in accordance with the Hague Rules on Business and Human
Rights Arbitration (the "Rules"); provided, however, that Licensee may elect
not to participate in such arbitration, in which event this License (and all
rights licensed hereunder) shall end immediately. The number of arbitrators
shall be one unless the Rules require otherwise.
Unless both the Licensor and Licensee agree to the contrary: (1) All
documents and information concerning the arbitration shall be public and may be
disclosed by any party; (2) The repository referred to under Article 43 of the
Rules shall make available to the public in a timely manner all documents
concerning the arbitration which are communicated to it, including all
submissions of the parties, all evidence admitted into the record of the
proceedings, all transcripts or other recordings of hearings and all orders,
decisions and awards of the arbitral tribunal, subject only to the arbitral
tribunal's powers to take such measures as may be necessary to safeguard the
integrity of the arbitral process pursuant to Articles 18, 33, 41 and 42 of the
Rules; and (3) Article 26(6) of the Rules shall not apply.
2. Human Rights Laws. The Software shall not be used by any person or
entity for any systems, activities, or other uses that violate any Human Rights
Laws. "Human Rights Laws" means any applicable laws, regulations, or rules
(collectively, "Laws") that protect human, civil, labor, privacy, political,
environmental, security, economic, due process, or similar rights; provided,
however, that such Laws are consistent and not in conflict with Human Rights
Principles (a dispute over the consistency or a conflict between Laws and Human
Rights Principles shall be determined by arbitration as stated above). Where
the Human Rights Laws of more than one jurisdiction are applicable or in
conflict with respect to the use of the Software, the Human Rights Laws that
are most protective of the individuals or groups harmed shall apply.
3. Indemnity. Licensee shall hold harmless and indemnify Licensor (and any
other contributor) against all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies,
claims, actions, judgments, settlements, interest, awards, penalties, fines,
costs, or expenses of whatever kind, including Licensor's reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to Licensee's use of the
Software in violation of Human Rights Laws or Human Rights Principles.
* Failure to Comply. Any failure of Licensee to act according to the terms and
conditions of this License is both a breach of the License and an infringement
of the intellectual property rights of the Licensor (subject to exceptions
under Laws, e.g., fair use). In the event of a breach or infringement, the
terms and conditions of this License may be enforced by Licensor under the Laws
of any jurisdiction to which Licensee is subject. Licensee also agrees that the
Licensor may enforce the terms and conditions of this License against Licensee
through specific performance (or similar remedy under Laws) to the extent
permitted by Laws. For clarity, except in the event of a breach of this
License, infringement, or as otherwise stated in this License, Licensor may not
terminate this License with Licensee.
* Enforceability and Interpretation. If any term or provision of this License
is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not
affect any other term or provision of this License or invalidate or render
unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction; provided,
however, subject to a court modification pursuant to the immediately following
sentence, if any term or provision of this License pertaining to Human Rights
Laws or Human Rights Principles is deemed invalid, illegal, or unenforceable
against Licensee by a court of competent jurisdiction, all rights in the
Software granted to Licensee shall be deemed null and void as between Licensor
and Licensee. Upon a determination that any term or provision is invalid,
illegal, or unenforceable, to the extent permitted by Laws, the court may
modify this License to affect the original purpose that the Software be used in
compliance with Human Rights Principles and Human Rights Laws as closely as
possible. The language in this License shall be interpreted as to its fair
meaning and not strictly for or against any party.
* Disclaimer. TO THE FULL EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW, THIS SOFTWARE COMES "AS IS,"
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND LICENSOR AND ANY OTHER
CONTRIBUTOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO ANYONE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY
ARISING FROM, OUT OF, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THIS LICENSE, UNDER
ANY KIND OF LEGAL CLAIM.
This Hippocratic License is an Ethical Source license
(https://ethicalsource.dev) and is offered for use by licensors and licensees
at their own risk, on an "AS IS" basis, and with no warranties express or
implied, to the maximum extent permitted by Laws.
