1Linden Research, Inc. ("Linden Lab") Viewer FLOSS License Exception v0.5
2
3The Linden Lab Exception for Free/Libre and Open Source Software-only
4Applications Using Linden Lab Viewer Software (the "FLOSS Exception").
5
6Exception Intent
7
8Linden Lab is releasing the source code for certain software that
9enables users to view or otherwise access the Second Life virtual
10world environment (the "Viewer Software"), under version 2 of the GNU
11General Public License (the "GPL"). The creation or distribution of
12works based on the Program (as defined under the GPL) of the Viewer
13Software may require the use of certain Free/Libre and Open Source
14Software ("FLOSS") works that are subject to license agreements not
15compatible with re-licensing under the GPL. Because we want to allow
16the Viewer Software to be distributed with these FLOSS works, this
17FLOSS Exception following exception applies subject to the terms and
18conditions below.
19
20Legal Terms and Conditions
21
22As a special exception to the terms and conditions of version 2.0 of
23the GPL:
24
25You are free to distribute a work based on the Program that is formed
26entirely from the Viewer Software (and any modifications thereof) and
27one or more works that are independent and separate works not derived
28from the Viewer Software, and are licensed under one or more of the
29licenses listed below in section 1 (each, a "FLOSS Work") , as long
30as:
31
32 A. You obey the GPL in all respects for the Viewer Software and any
33 work based on the Program, except for the FLOSS Works, for which
34 you must comply with B below,
35
36 B. all FLOSS Works,
37
38 i. are distributed subject to one of the FLOSS licenses
39 listed below, and
40
41 ii. the object code or executable form of the FLOSS Works are
42 accompanied by the complete corresponding
43 machine-readable source code for those FLOSS Works on the
44 same medium and under the same FLOSS license as the
45 corresponding object code or executable forms thereof,
46 and
47
48 C. any works that are aggregated with the Viewer Software or a work
49 based on the Program on a volume of a storage or distribution
50 medium in accordance with the GPL, and are not licensed under
51 the FLOSS licenses listed below, are independent and separate
52 works in themselves which are not derivatives of either the
53 Viewer Software, a work based on the Program or a FLOSS Work.
54
55If the above conditions are not met, then the Viewer Software may only
56be copied, modified, distributed or used under the terms and
57conditions of the GPL or another valid licensing option from Linden
58Lab.

1013. Applicability
102
103This FLOSS Exception applies to all Viewer Software files that contain
104a notice placed by Linden Lab saying that the Viewer Software may be
105distributed under the terms of this FLOSS Exception. If you create or
106distribute a work which is a work based on the Program for the Viewer
107Software and any other work licensed under the GPL, then this FLOSS
108Exception is not available for that work; thus, you must remove the
109FLOSS Exception notice from that work and comply with the GPL in all
110respects, including by retaining all GPL notices. You may choose to
111redistribute a copy of the Viewer Software exclusively under the terms
112of the GPL by removing the FLOSS Exception notice from that copy of
113the Viewer Software, provided that the copy has never been modified by
114you or any third party.
