wolffd@0
|
8
|
wolffd@0
|
9 "Contribution" means:
|
wolffd@0
|
10
|
wolffd@0
|
11 a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and
|
wolffd@0
|
12 documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
|
wolffd@0
|
13
|
wolffd@0
|
14 b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
|
wolffd@0
|
15
|
wolffd@0
|
16 i) changes to the Program, and

17
|
wolffd@0
|
18 ii) additions to the Program;
|
wolffd@0
|
19
|
wolffd@0
|
20 where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are
|
wolffd@0
|
21 distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a
|
wolffd@0
|
22 Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone
|
wolffd@0
|
23 acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to
|
wolffd@0
|
24 the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in
|
wolffd@0
|
25 conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not
|
wolffd@0
|
26 derivative works of the Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
27
|
wolffd@0
|
28 "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
29
|
wolffd@0
|
30 "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are
|
wolffd@0
|
31 necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when
|
wolffd@0
|
32 combined with the Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
33
|
wolffd@0
|
34 "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
|
wolffd@0
|
35
|
wolffd@0
|
36 "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
|
wolffd@0
|
37 including all Contributors.

wolffd@0
|
39 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
|
wolffd@0
|
40
|
wolffd@0
|
41 a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
|
wolffd@0
|
42 Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to
|
wolffd@0
|
43 reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
|
wolffd@0
|
44 distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such
|
wolffd@0
|
45 derivative works, in source code and object code form.
|
wolffd@0
|
46
|
wolffd@0
|
47 b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
|
wolffd@0
|
48 Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed
|
wolffd@0
|
49 Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the
|
wolffd@0
|
50 Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form.
|
wolffd@0
|
51 This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the
|
wolffd@0
|
52 Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such
|
wolffd@0
|
53 addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the
|
wolffd@0
|
54 Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations
|
wolffd@0
|
55 which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
|
wolffd@0
|
56
|
wolffd@0
|
57 c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses
|
wolffd@0
|
58 to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any
|
wolffd@0
|
59 Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual
|
wolffd@0
|
60 property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to
|
wolffd@0
|
61 Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of
|
wolffd@0
|
62 intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
|
wolffd@0
|
63 rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
|
wolffd@0
|
64 responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any.
|
wolffd@0
|
65 For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to
|
wolffd@0
|
66 distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
|
wolffd@0
|
67 before distributing the Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
68
|
wolffd@0
|
69 d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
|
wolffd@0
|
70 copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set
|
wolffd@0
|
71 forth in this Agreement.
|
wolffd@0
|
72
|
wolffd@0
|
73 3. REQUIREMENTS
|
wolffd@0
|
74
|
wolffd@0
|
75 A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its
|
wolffd@0
|
76 own license agreement, provided that:
|
wolffd@0
|
77
|
wolffd@0
|
78 a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
|
wolffd@0
|
79
|
wolffd@0
|
80 b) its license agreement:
|
wolffd@0
|
81
|
wolffd@0
|
82 i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and
|
wolffd@0
|
83 conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and
|
wolffd@0
|
84 non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and
|
wolffd@0
|
85 fitness for a particular purpose;
|
wolffd@0
|
86
|
wolffd@0
|
87 ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for
|
wolffd@0
|
88 damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential
|
wolffd@0
|
89 damages, such as lost profits;
|
wolffd@0
|
90
|
wolffd@0
|
91 iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered
|
wolffd@0
|
92 by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
|
wolffd@0
|
93
|
wolffd@0
|
94 iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
|
wolffd@0
|
95 Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or
|
wolffd@0
|
96 through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
|
wolffd@0
|
97
|
wolffd@0
|
98 When the Program is made available in source code form:
|
wolffd@0
|
99
|
wolffd@0
|
100 a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
|
wolffd@0
|
101
|
wolffd@0
|
102 b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
103
|
wolffd@0
|
104 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the
|
wolffd@0
|
105 Program.
|
wolffd@0
|
106
|
wolffd@0
|
107 Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if
|
wolffd@0
|
108 any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the
|
wolffd@0
|
109 originator of the Contribution.
|
wolffd@0
|
110
|
wolffd@0
|
111 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
|
wolffd@0
|
112
|
wolffd@0
|
113 Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
|
wolffd@0
|
114 respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is
|
wolffd@0
|
115 intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who
|
wolffd@0
|
116 includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
|
wolffd@0
|
117 which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if
|
wolffd@0
|
118 a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such
|
wolffd@0
|
119 Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
|
wolffd@0
|
120 every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages
|
wolffd@0
|
121 and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
|
wolffd@0
|
122 actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the
|
wolffd@0
|
123 extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
|
wolffd@0
|
124 connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
|
wolffd@0
|
125 offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
|
wolffd@0
|
126 relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
|
wolffd@0
|
127 to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
|
wolffd@0
|
128 Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to
|
wolffd@0
|
129 control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any
|
wolffd@0
|
130 related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in
|
wolffd@0
|
131 any such claim at its own expense.
|
wolffd@0
|
132
|
wolffd@0
|
133 For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product
|
wolffd@0
|
134 offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that
|
wolffd@0
|
135 Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties
|
wolffd@0
|
136 related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such
|
wolffd@0
|
137 Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
|
wolffd@0
|
138 Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other
|
wolffd@0
|
139 Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court
|
wolffd@0
|
140 requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial
|
wolffd@0
|
141 Contributor must pay those damages.
|
wolffd@0
|
142
|
wolffd@0
|
143 5. NO WARRANTY
|
wolffd@0
|
144
|
wolffd@0
|
145 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN
|
wolffd@0
|
146 "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
|
wolffd@0
|
147 IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
|
wolffd@0
|
148 NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each
|
wolffd@0
|
149 Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
|
wolffd@0
|
150 distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of
|
wolffd@0
|
151 rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of
|
wolffd@0
|
152 program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data,
|
wolffd@0
|
153 programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
|
wolffd@0
|
154
|
wolffd@0
|
155 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
|
wolffd@0
|
156
|
wolffd@0
|
157 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
|
wolffd@0
|
158 CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
|
wolffd@0
|
159 SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
|
wolffd@0
|
160 PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT,
|
wolffd@0
|
161 STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY
|
wolffd@0
|
162 OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS
|
wolffd@0
|
163 GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
wolffd@0
|
164
|
wolffd@0
|
165 7. GENERAL
|
wolffd@0
|
166
|
wolffd@0
|
167 If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
|
wolffd@0
|
168 law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
|
wolffd@0
|
169 terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such
|
wolffd@0
|
170 provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
|
wolffd@0
|
171 provision valid and enforceable.
|
wolffd@0
|
172
|
wolffd@0
|
173 If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to
|
wolffd@0
|
174 a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
|
wolffd@0
|
175 lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient
|
wolffd@0
|
176 under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In
|
wolffd@0
|
177 addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity
|
wolffd@0
|
178 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program
|
wolffd@0
|
179 itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware)
|
wolffd@0
|
180 infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under
|
wolffd@0
|
181 Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
|
wolffd@0
|
182
|
wolffd@0
|
183 All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to
|
wolffd@0
|
184 comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does
|
wolffd@0
|
185 not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of
|
wolffd@0
|
186 such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate,
|
wolffd@0
|
187 Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
|
wolffd@0
|
188 reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement
|
wolffd@0
|
189 and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and
|
wolffd@0
|
190 survive.
|
wolffd@0
|
191
|
wolffd@0
|
192 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in
|
wolffd@0
|
193 order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be
|
wolffd@0
|
194 modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to
|
wolffd@0
|
195 publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time.
|
wolffd@0
|
196 No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement.
|
wolffd@0
|
197 IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve
|
wolffd@0
|
198 as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the
|
wolffd@0
|
199 Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including
|
wolffd@0
|
200 Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement
|
wolffd@0
|
201 under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement
|
wolffd@0
|
202 is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its
|
wolffd@0
|
203 Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections
|
wolffd@0
|
204 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the
|
wolffd@0
|
205 intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
|
wolffd@0
|
206 expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not
|
wolffd@0
|
207 expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
|
wolffd@0
|
208
|
wolffd@0
|
209 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
|
wolffd@0
|
210 intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this
|
wolffd@0
|
211 Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year
|
wolffd@0
|
212 after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in
|
wolffd@0
|
213 any resulting litigation.
