Please note: this License (“License”) contains unique terms that differ from many common “open source” and similar license terms published by the Free Software Foundation and the Mozilla Organization.

THE ACCOMPANYING CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS WOWZA PUBLIC LICENSE AGREEMENT. ANY ACCESS TO OR USE, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION, DISTRIBUTION OR OTHER EXPLOITATION OF THE ACCOMPANYING CODE CONSTITUTES YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT. NOTHING OTHER THAN THIS LICENSE GRANTS YOU PERMISSION TO ACCESS, USE REPRODUCE, MODIFY, DISTRIBUTE OR OTHERWISE EXPLOIT THE SOURCE CODE OR ITS DERIVATIVE WORKS. IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT ALL OF THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, DO NOT ACCESS, USE, REPRODUCE, MODIFY, DISTRIBUTE OR OTHERWISE EXPLOIT THE ACCOMPANYING CODE.

1. Wowza License Grant to You.

a. Wowza grants You a revocable (only by Wowza and only as provided herein) worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license:

i. under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) Licensable by Wowza, to reproduce, modify, run, and distribute the Covered Code; and

ii. under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or importing the Original Code, to make, have made, use, import, and practice the Original Code (or portions thereof).

b. For the avoidance of doubt and subject to Section 1.a.ii, above, Wowza grants You no license under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, practicing, or importing of Modifications.

c. This License applies to code to which Wowza has attached the notice in Exhibit A, and to related Covered Code.

d. Notwithstanding Section 1.a.ii above, no patent license is granted: 1) for code that You delete from the Original Code; 2) for Code that you separate from the Original Code; or 3) for any Modification of the Original Code. 

e. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights granted in this Section 1 grant you permission to make, run, market, and receive compensation for Covered Code, whether standing alone, or as a part of a software or service offering by You, provided you comply with this License and maintain this License’s full effect.

2. Contributor Grants.

a. To the extent You are a Contributor, You hereby grant all Recipients a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license:

i. under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark) Licensable by Contributor, to reproduce, modify, run, and distribute the Contributor Version; and

ii. under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or importing of the Contributor Version, to make, have made, use, and import: 1) Modifications made by that Contributor (or portions thereof); and 2) the combination of Modifications made by that Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such combination).

3. Title; Reservation of Rights. As between You and Wowza, Wowza retains all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights in the Original Code. Wowza and the other Contributors, if applicable, reserve all rights not expressly granted to You hereunder, and no other licenses are granted or implied. Wowza may license the Original Code, including Modifications incorporated therein, on different terms from those contained in this License.

4. Distribution Obligations.

a. You will ensure that any Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License. If You Convey such Modifications or resulting Covered Code (except as required in Section 5), You will do so solely under the terms of this License.

c. You will not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to provide licenses to Wowza (as provided in Section 5, above) follows the Original Code and the Covered Code, and applies to each Contributor and recipient of Covered Code.

5. Obligations to Provide Code to Wowza; Additional License Grants to Wowza.

a. You will provide Wowza with a complete copy of any Covered Code and related documentation for Modifications created or contributed by You, and will do so promptly following either a request by Wowza or the first time You Convey such Modifications.

b. If You are a Contributor and do not Convey the Modifications in Source Code form, You hereby grant Wowza an unrestricted, nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free right, to use, reproduce, modify, display, perform, sublicense and distribute and otherwise exploit all Covered Code and and related documentation for Modifications, and to grant third parties the right to do so, including without limitation as a part of or with the Covered Code under all intellectual property rights (including any patent rights); and Wowza has the right to license or to otherwise transfer to third parties its rights to such Modifications without notice or any obligation to You, including without limitation the obligation to account for any profits obtained by Wowza. 

6. Notices; Descriptions of Modifications Required. 

a. You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by Wowza Media Systems, LLC, and including the name of Wowza in: (a) the Source Code; and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.

b. You must duplicate the notice provided in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a location where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. 

c. If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to applicable statute, judicial order, or regulation, then this License does not terminate but: (a) You do not have any rights from Wowza pursuant to Section 1.a; (b) You do not have any rights from other Contributors pursuant to Section 2.a; and (c) You must not access, run, use, have made, reproduce, modify, distribute, or exploit the Covered Code.

7. License Versions.

a. Wowza may publish a revised or new version of the License from time to time in its sole discretion without prior notice. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number. 

b. Subject to Wowza’s right to terminate or revoke this License, once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version.

c. No one other than Wowza or its successors or assigns has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.
