3.1. Application of License.

The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the
terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The
Source Code version
of Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this
License or a future
version of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must
include a copy of this

whom you made an Executable version available; and if made available
via Electronic
Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve
(12) months after the
date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after
a subsequent version
of that particular Modification has been made available to such
recipients. You are
responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains
available even if the
Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.

Developer and including
