All other rights in and to the Mod +and the Mod Code are hereby expressly reserved. For purposes of GPL-3, the +Mod Code, in the form published from time to time in its code repository +presently located at https://github.com/EssentialGG/EssentialPartnerModIntegration +(the "Mod Repository"), is the "Program" as defined therein. + +2. Creation of Modified Versions. +Each User is permitted under GPL-3 to create and use "modified versions" of +the Program (i.e., the Mod Code) as defined therein (collectively, "Modified +Versions") and subject to the terms and conditions thereof. Each User who +creates a Modified Version may be referred to herein as a "Contributor". + +3. Proposal and Acceptance of Modified Versions +Essential invites, but does not require, Contributors to submit their Modified +Versions to Essential for potential inclusion in the Mod Code (each, a +"Proposed Contribution"), subject to the following terms and conditions: + +(a) Submission Process. Contributors may submit their Proposed Contributions +by opening a "pull request" on the Mod Repository. For more information on +how to create a pull request, visit https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/ +collaborating-with-pull-requests/proposing-changes-to-your-work-with-pull- +requests/creating-a-pull-request. For the avoidance of doubt, Contributors +are not obligated to submit any of their Modified Versions to Essential as +Proposed Contributions and may "fork" the Mod Code of their Modified +Versions, thereby creating a derivative work subject to the terms of GPL-3. + +(b) Review and Acceptance. When a Contributor pushes a Proposed Contribution +to the Repository, Essential will review the Proposed Contribution and may +conduct whatever reviews and testing of the code as it deems necessary in its +sole discretion, after which time Essential may (i) accept the Proposed +Contribution (thereafter, an "Accepted Contribution"); (ii) decline the +Proposed Contribution; or (iii) request that the Contributor make changes or +refinements to the code for the Proposed Contribution and resubmit the +Proposed Contribution for Essential's review and acceptance, which the +Contributor may accept or decline in their sole discretion. + +(c) Merging Accepted Contributions into Mod Code. Essential will have full +discretion whether to merge any Accepted Contribution into the Mod Code and +the Mod Repository. Essential is not obligated to include, use, or otherwise +exploit any Accepted Contribution (or any portion thereof) in any manner, and +each Contributor acknowledges and agrees that any decision by Essential +respecting the use of inclusion of their Accepted Contribution shall be in +Essential's sole discretion. + +4. Ownership. +Each Contributor shall retain all right, title, and interest in and to their +respective Modified Versions and Proposed Contributions subject to the terms +of GPL-3. In the event Essential accepts a proposed Contribution thereby +becoming an Accepted Contribution in accordance with the terms of Section 2 of +this Agreement, to the fullest extent allowable and for the full term of +protection otherwise accorded to its Contributor under applicable law, the +Contributor shall be deemed to have already (i) irrevocably assigned, +transferred, granted, conveyed, and relinquished to Essential all right, +title, and interest, including, without limitation, all copyrights, neighboring +rights, trademarks, patents, and any and all other ownership and exploitation +rights, now or hereafter recognized in any and all territories and +jurisdictions (collectively, "IP Rights"), in and to the Accepted Contribution +in perpetuity throughout the universe, without any compensation therefor, to +the fullest extent allowable and for the full term of protection otherwise +accorded to the Contributor under applicable law (including any and all +renewals, extensions, and revivals thereof), and (ii) unconditionally and +irrevocably waived any "moral rights," "droit moral," or similar "moral +rights of authors" throughout the universe and in connection with the Accepted +Contribution. Any and all of an Accepted Contribution that is incorporated by +Essential into the Mod Code shall become fully part of, and inseparable from, +the Mod Code and, to the extent copyrightable, the copyright claimed +exclusively by Essential and its assignees in and to the Mod Code, whether or +not registered with the U.S. Copyright Office or any other copyright +registrar; a Contributor shall not register, or apply or attempt to register, +their Accepted Contribution(s) with the U.S. Copyright Office or any other +copyright registrar or otherwise claim status as a "joint copyright owner" +with respect thereto. This Section 4 shall control to the extent that there +are any conflicting terms and conditions contained in GPL-3 applicable to +ownership of the Accepted Contribution and its Contributor's use thereof, +including, without limitation, Paragraph 2 of Section 2 (Basic Permissions), +Section 5 (Conveying Modified Source Versions), and Section 6 (Conveying Non- +Source Forms) thereof, and all such activities shall constitute a breach of +this Section 4. + +5. Representations and Warranties. +By submitting a Proposed Contribution, its Contributor represents and warrants +to Essential that (i) the rights in and to the Proposed Contribution that are +granted by the Contributor hereunder will not conflict with or violate any +commitment, agreement, or understanding such Contributor has with any third- +party Person; (ii) the Proposed Contribution, when delivered to Essential, +will be free and clear of any liens and claims by any third party; and (iii) +the Proposed Contribution and Essential's use thereof will not violate or +infringe upon any Intellectual Property Rights, right of privacy, or any +statutory or common law rights of any Person, be libelous or otherwise subject +Essential to liability, or be contrary to law. + +6. Indemnification. +In accordance with Section 7(f) of GPL-3, each Contributor shall indemnify, +defend, and hold harmless Essential and its present and future parent, +subsidiary, and affiliate companies and each of their respective present and +future officers, directors, shareholders, managers, members, employees, +agents, representatives, successors, and permitted assigns (collectively, the +"Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all liabilities, losses, +damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and +court costs), settlements, judgments, and recoveries resulting from any claim, +suit, litigation, action, cause of action, or demand, whether based in whole +or in part in contract, tort, negligence, statute, or otherwise (each, a +"Claim"), brought or asserted by a third-party Person to the extent arising +out of or attributable to any Accepted Contribution or material breach, or +allegation which if true would constitute a material breach, of the +Contributor's obligations, representations, or warranties hereunder. Essential +shall notify the Contributor in writing of any Claim subject to +indemnification hereunder (provided any delay in such notice shall not relieve +the Contributor of its indemnification obligations except to the extent such +delay prejudices the defense of such Claim) and give the Contributor the +opportunity to defend or settle such Claim solely with Essential's prior +written consent and using legal counsel acceptable to Essential, and cooperate +with the Contributor in such defense and settlement, all at the Contributor's +sole cost and expense. + +7. Use of Essential's Trademarks. +All Contributors hereby acknowledge Essential's exclusive trademark rights in +and to ESSENTIAL, ESSENTIAL MOD, ESSENTIAL LOADER, ESSENTIAL INSTALLER and +ESSENTIAL PARTNER MOD INTEGRATION (together, the "Marks") for use in +connection with, among other things, downloadable and non-downloadable +software, applications, and video and computer games and software as a service +(SaaS) and platforms as a service (PaaS), based on Essential's ongoing use of +the Marks in commerce, and in accordance with Section 7(e) of GPL-3, agree not +to use, sell, license, commercialize, or otherwise exploit any Modified +Version under the Marks or any other trademark of Essential or any variation +thereof or apply to register any of the foregoing with the U.S. Patent and +Trademark Office or any other trademark registrar. + +8. Relationship of Contributor to Essential. +Nothing in this Agreement or in any course of dealing shall create any +employment, service, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship +between Essential, on the one hand, and any Contributor or other User, on the +other hand. Essential shall not compensate, monetarily or otherwise, any +Contributor in exchange for them creating, submitting, or modifying a Proposed +Contribution or for Essential accepting and/or incorporating into the Mod Code +any Accepted Contribution. + +9. Notices to Users. +All agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that Essential +provides to a User electronically shall satisfy any legal requirement that +such communications be in writing. + +10. Entire Agreement; Severability. +This Agreement, together with the GPL-3 to the extent applicable hereunder, +constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between Essential, on the +one hand, and each Contributor and each other User, on the other hand, with +respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and +contemporaneous discussions, documents, agreements, and prior course of +dealing between the parties with respect thereto. If any term, provision, or +condition, or any part thereof, of this Agreement shall for any reason be +found or held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent +jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the +remainder of such term, provision, or condition nor any other term, +provision, or condition, and this Agreement shall survive and be construed as +if such invalid or unenforceable term, provision, or condition had not been +contained therein. + +11. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution. +This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws +of the State of New York, without regard to any conflict or choice of laws +rules to the contrary. Any dispute arising hereunder shall be adjudicated +exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the County of New York +in the State of New York, and each User waives any jurisdictional, venue, or +inconvenient forum objections to such courts. + +12. No Waivers. +No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or +privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a +waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, +remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise +thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. + +13. Changes to this Agreement and the License Terms. +Essential may change or amend this Agreement at any time at its sole +discretion. If Essential makes a material change or amendment to this +Agreement, it will notify each User by posting such changes or amendments on +Essential's website and other website(s) where Essential makes the Mod and/or +Mod Code available for download (e.g., a GitHub repository), which changes or +amendments will be effective automatically upon the posting thereof. IF A USER +DEEMS ANY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY FUTURE CHANGES TO BE UNACCEPTABLE, THAT +USER SHOULD NOT USE OR CONTINUE TO USE THE MOD OR THE MOD CODE AND DELETE +ALL DOWNLOADED COPIES OF THE MOD CODE IN THEIR POSSESSION OR STORED ON ANY OF +THEIR DEVICES. A USER'S CONTINUED USE OF THE MOD AND/OR MOD CODE FOLLOWING +THE POSTING OF ANY NOTICE OF ANY CHANGE TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL CONSTITUTE +THEIR ACCEPTANCE AND AGREEMENT TO SUCH CHANGE. \ No newline at end of file From ceaafd5534f8303b1e8e81ba884e7844449398ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Benjamin Grindrod Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:53:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/7] fixed github repo link url --- LICENSE | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index ed5aa12..1abbb35 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ GPL-3, this Agreement shall govern and control, including where expressly stated under Section 3 of this Agreement.
