2 | |
---|
3 | THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC |
---|
4 | LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM |
---|
5 | CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. |
---|
6 | |
---|
7 | 1. DEFINITIONS |
---|
8 | |
---|
9 | "Contribution" means: |
---|
10 | |
---|
11 | a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and |
---|
12 | documentation distributed under this Agreement, and |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor: |
---|
15 | |
---|
16 | i) changes to the Program, and |
---|
17 | |
---|
18 | ii) additions to the Program; |
---|
19 | |
---|
20 | where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are |
---|
21 | distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a |
---|
22 | Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or |
---|
23 | anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include |
---|
24 | additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software |
---|
25 | distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, |
---|
26 | and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. |
---|
27 | |
---|
28 | "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are |
---|
31 | necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when |
---|
32 | combined with the Program. |
---|
33 | |
---|
34 | "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this |
---|
35 | Agreement. |
---|
36 | |
---|
37 | "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, |
---|
38 | including all Contributors. |
---|
39 | |
---|
40 | 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS |
---|
41 | |
---|
42 | a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants |
---|
43 | Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to |
---|
44 | reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, |
---|
45 | distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and |
---|
46 | such derivative works, in source code and object code form. |
---|
47 | |
---|
48 | b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants |
---|
49 | Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under |
---|
50 | Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise |
---|
51 | transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and |
---|
52 | object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the |
---|
53 | Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the |
---|
54 | Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be |
---|
55 | covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any |
---|
56 | other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is |
---|
57 | licensed hereunder. |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the |
---|
60 | licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by |
---|
61 | any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other |
---|
62 | intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims |
---|
63 | any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on |
---|
64 | infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to |
---|
65 | exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby |
---|
66 | assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights |
---|
67 | needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to |
---|
68 | allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to |
---|
69 | acquire that license before distributing the Program. |
---|
70 | |
---|
71 | d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient |
---|
72 | copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license |
---|
73 | set forth in this Agreement. |
---|
74 | |
---|
75 | 3. REQUIREMENTS |
---|
76 | |
---|
77 | A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under |
---|
78 | its own license agreement, provided that: |
---|
79 | |
---|
80 | a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and |
---|
81 | |
---|
82 | b) its license agreement: |
---|
83 | |
---|
84 | i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and |
---|
85 | conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title |
---|
86 | and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability |
---|
87 | and fitness for a particular purpose; |
---|
88 | |
---|
89 | ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for |
---|
90 | damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential |
---|
91 | damages, such as lost profits; |
---|
92 | |
---|
93 | iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are |
---|
94 | offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and |
---|
95 | |
---|
96 | iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such |
---|
97 | Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on |
---|
98 | or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. |
---|
99 | |
---|
100 | When the Program is made available in source code form: |
---|
101 | |
---|
102 | a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and |
---|
103 | |
---|
104 | b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the |
---|
105 | Program. |
---|
106 | |
---|
107 | Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within |
---|
108 | the Program. |
---|
109 | |
---|
110 | Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, |
---|
111 | if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify |
---|
112 | the originator of the Contribution. |
---|
113 | |
---|
114 | 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION |
---|
115 | |
---|
116 | Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with |
---|
117 | respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is |
---|
118 | intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who |
---|
119 | includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner |
---|
120 | which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, |
---|
121 | if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such |
---|
122 | Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify |
---|
123 | every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, |
---|
124 | damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and |
---|
125 | other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified |
---|
126 | Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial |
---|
127 | Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial |
---|
128 | product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims |
---|
129 | or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property |
---|
130 | infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) |
---|
131 | promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) |
---|
132 | allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial |
---|
133 | Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The |
---|
134 | Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense. |
---|
135 | |
---|
136 | For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product |
---|
137 | offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If |
---|
138 | that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers |
---|
139 | warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are |
---|
140 | such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the |
---|
141 | Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other |
---|
142 | Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a |
---|
143 | court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the |
---|
144 | Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. |
---|
145 | |
---|
146 | 5. NO WARRANTY |
---|
147 | |
---|
148 | EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN |
---|
149 | "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR |
---|
150 | IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, |
---|
151 | NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each |
---|
152 | Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using |
---|
153 | and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its |
---|
154 | exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the |
---|
155 | risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to |
---|
156 | or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of |
---|
157 | operations. |
---|
158 | |
---|
159 | 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY |
---|
160 | |
---|
161 | EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY |
---|
162 | CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, |
---|
163 | SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION |
---|
164 | LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN |
---|
165 | CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) |
---|
166 | ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE |
---|
167 | EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY |
---|
168 | OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
---|
169 | |
---|
170 | 7. GENERAL |
---|
171 | |
---|
172 | If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under |
---|
173 | applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the |
---|
174 | remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the |
---|
175 | parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent |
---|
176 | necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. |
---|
177 | |
---|
178 | If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect |
---|
179 | to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in |
---|
180 | a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such |
---|
181 | Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation |
---|
182 | is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any |
---|
183 | entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
---|
184 | the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software |
---|
185 | or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's |
---|
186 | rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such |
---|
187 | litigation is filed. |
---|
188 | |
---|
189 | All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to |
---|
190 | comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does |
---|
191 | not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of |
---|
192 | such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, |
---|
193 | Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as |
---|
194 | reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement |
---|
195 | and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue |
---|
196 | and survive. |
---|
197 | |
---|
198 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in |
---|
199 | order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be |
---|
200 | modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to |
---|
201 | publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to |
---|
202 | time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this |
---|
203 | Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the |
---|
204 | responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate |
---|
205 | entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing |
---|
206 | version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be |
---|
207 | distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was |
---|
208 | received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, |
---|
209 | Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) |
---|
210 | under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) |
---|
211 | above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property |
---|
212 | of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, |
---|
213 | estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under |
---|
214 | this Agreement are reserved. |
---|
215 | |
---|
216 | This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the |
---|
217 | intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this |
---|
218 | Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year |
---|
219 | after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial |
---|
220 | in any resulting litigation. |
