[Translation] 【求助帖 - 请问是否有专家或成员能够在ASF官网的legal JIRA Space上咨询问题？】// Fw:Questions about serveral articles of Apache License v2.0 - from YuanYiShi Translation program members

各位评审专家好，各位源译识成员大家好 如此前沟通，我在两周前已电邮Apache软件基金会的法务VP，来咨询0226评审会遗留的相关Apache License V2.0相关问题（如前述邮件），但目前尚未得到回复。此外我这边一直无法注册JIRA账号（该账号仅接受旨在向特定项目作贡献的注册申请，非项目导向的无法注册），无法直接在LEGAL JIRA Space提交公开的咨询信。;( 辛苦请大家看下是否有账号能在ASF官网的LEGAL JIRA Space上提问题呢？或是否有其他途径去咨询呢？（可以直接套用前述邮件内容，落款处改为 XXX，on bebalf of "YuanYiShi" Open Source Translation Program Members）非常非常感谢您！;) 祝好！ 郭雪雯 Vanessa 法务与知识产权部 | 开放原子开源基金会 地址：北京经济技术开发区科谷一街8号院8号楼22层2201 电话：+86 15001075763 邮箱：vanessa(a)openatom.org This email message (with attachment, if any) is from OpenAtom Foundation.

A major goal of our program is to offer, for public and for free, credible Chinese translation of the top popular OSS licenses to promote better local understanding of open source concepts and rules. Experts with competence in languages and open source from communities, academies and companies are invited to join the program to review & revise the translation scripts.   While working on the translation of the Apache License v2.0 (the License), we have some questions with several articles, for which we are writing to seek from you, as the steward of the License, kind opinions and interpretations:   Article 2: Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form. Question: We understand "publicly perform" as a term typically used in connection with audiovisual works, as in 17 U.S. Code § 101 - Definitions and 17 U.S. Code § 106 - Exclusive rights in copyrighted works. We are not sure about the exact reference of the public performance right to the in case of software context and wonder if it is acceptable to translate “publicly perform (a software)" as "publicly run/execute (a software)"?  Article 3: ……a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, ……. Question: We wonder if the word “transfer” means to assign ownership of a physical copy of the work, or to ship a physical copy of the work?   Article 5: Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding such Contributions. Question: We wonder whether “may have executed" shall be understood as "may have done" with emphasis on the past perfect tense or subjunctive tense (so the Apache License 2.0 as a latter license agreement shall not supersede or modify any formerly executed agreement); or be understood as "have something done" with emphasis on passive voice (so the Apache License 2.0 shall not supersede or modify any separate agreement)? Article 9: While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License. Question: We understand that "support, warranty, indemnity" is the type of liability obligation and you may charge a fee as the counterparty. Why does it also say "and/or rights"? You might charge others a fee for which right? Will you kindly list them? After having read License FAQ, we apologize for contacting you directly, but JIRA accounts cannot be set up for people who aren't ASF members or contributors to ask just legal questions, despite our repeated attempts to use the ASF self-serve Portal. We look forward to your reply!
