Appendix D – Open Source Software

ePower Power Distribution Unit User Manual, Revision 1.1 107

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent

infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),

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 distribute

so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and

any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not

distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would

not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who

receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you

could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from

distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any

particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply

and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any

patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such

claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of

the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public

license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to

the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance

on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to

decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other

system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed

to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain

countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original

add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those

countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries

not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the

limitation as if written in the body of this License.
