Twitter's GPL Commitment
========================
*Before filing or continuing to prosecute any legal proceeding or claim
(other than a Defensive Action) arising from termination of a Covered
License, Twitter commits to extend to the person or entity ("you")
accused of violating the Covered License the following provisions
regarding cure and reinstatement, taken from GPL version 3. As used
here, the term 'this License' refers to the specific Covered License
being enforced.*
*However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates
your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to
notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days
after the cessation.*
*Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by
some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice
of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder,
and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the
notice.*
*Twitter intends this Commitment to be irrevocable, and binding and
enforceable against Twitter and assignees of or successors to
Twitter's copyrights.*
*Twitter may modify this Commitment by publishing a new edition on this
page or a successor location.*
