When you submit, post, upload or otherwise provide Code to SourceForge.net, you must designate promptly the software license pursuant to which licensees, including Slashdot Media, obtain rights with respect to such Code. Except as otherwise expressly permitted by these Terms, any Code submitted to SourceForge.net must be licensed to Slashdot Media and other licensees under a license that is: compliant with the Open Source Initiative (“OSI”)’s Open Source Definition (http://www.opensource.org/docs/osd) or certified as an “OSI-Approved License” (http://opensource.org/licenses). Please note that Slashdot Media is not affiliated with the OSI.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, once you have selected the OSI-Approved or compliant license applicable to your Code, Slashdot Media shall be a licensee of such Code under the applicable OSI-Approved or compliant license that you have chosen. You shall promptly notify us in writing if you do not have the right to grant Slashdot Media or any other user an OSI-Approved or compliant license to your Code. Until such time as you have selected the OSI-Approved or compliant license applicable to your Code, Slashdot Media shall be a licensee of such Code under the license terms applicable to Associated Content.

By submitting Code to SourceForge.net, you certify that your Code is in compliance with the OSI-Approved or compliant license that you designate, and you hereby represent and warrant that you have all rights, licenses and consents necessary to grant Slashdot Media and other users the rights and licenses granted herein, and under the OSI-Approved or compliant license you designate, without infringement of any third party rights. In addition, the Code that you submit must also be made available in human-readable (i.e., “Source Code”) form. Whenever reasonably feasible, you agree that you will make Source Code available on or via SourceForge.net corresponding to Code that you post, submit, display or distribute. You must make Source Code available for all portions of Code that you have modified, enhanced or otherwise created derivative works from (with any such modification or derivative work being a “Change”).

Slashdot Media acknowledges that there may be situations where posting Source Code is not reasonably feasible; examples of such situations are when you are posting Code that: (a) is ancillary to other Code that you have changed but such Code is only available to you in binary or executable form (such as closed-source device drivers or closed-source software frameworks); (b) is otherwise readily available in Source Code form online as part of an Open Source distribution, and where you notify users that the Source Code for such distribution is available elsewhere on the Internet (and you also provide a link to that location); or (c) Slashdot Media agrees in writing does not need to be posted in Source Code form.

For users posting on Sourceforge.net, you are aware that certain postings of open source encryption code are controlled under U.S. Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) 5D002, License Exemption TSU, which requires notice prior to export by email to the U.S. government. Submit the notification or copy to crypt@bis.doc.gov and to enc@nsa.gov. You are responsible for submitting this email to the U.S. government and Section 740.13(e) of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”) 15 C.F.R. Parts 730-772. Note that products which use encryption solely for authentication are deemed 5×992 and the prior notification is not required. For more information see: http://www.bis.doc.gov/encryption/question2.htm
