3THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE
4("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S
5 ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
6
71. DEFINITIONS
8
9"Contribution" means:
10
11 a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed
12 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 distributed
21 by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was
22 added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's
23 behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate
24 modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license
25 agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
26
27"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
28
29"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily
30infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
31
32"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
33
34"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all
35Contributors.
36
372. GRANT OF RIGHTS
38
39 a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a
40 non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare
41 derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense
42 the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source
43 code and object code form.
44
45 b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a
46 non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make,
47 use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
48 Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall
49 apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the
50 Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such
51 combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply
52 to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed
53 hereunder.
54
55 c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
56 Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the
57 Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other
58 entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any
59 other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a
60 condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
61 assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if
62 any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to
63 distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before
64 distributing the Program.
65
66 d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in
67 its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
68
693. REQUIREMENTS
70
71A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license
72agreement, provided that:
73
74 a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
75
76 b) its license agreement:
77
78 i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions,
79 express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement,
80 and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular
81 purpose;
82
83 ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages,
84 including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as
85 lost profits;
86
87 iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that
88 Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
89
90 iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and
91 informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium
92 customarily used for software exchange.
93
94When the Program is made available in source code form:
95
96 a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
97
98 b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
99
100Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
101
102Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a
103manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the
104Contribution.
105
1064. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
107
108Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end
109users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the
110commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
111product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other
112Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product
113offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
114every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs
115(collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a
116third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions
117of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a
118commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or
119Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to
120qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in
121writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with
122the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The
123Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
124
125For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product
126X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then
127makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims
128and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
129Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to
130those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay
131any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
132
1335. NO WARRANTY
134
135EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
136WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
137LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR
138FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the
139appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with
140its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs
141of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
142equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
143
1446. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
145
146EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL
147HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
148DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
149LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE)
150ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS
151GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
152
1537. GENERAL
154
155If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall
156not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and
157without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
158extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
159
160If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent
161applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent
162licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate
163as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent
164litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
165that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or
166hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under
167Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
168
169All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of
170the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a
171reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's
172rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the
173Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this
174Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and
175survive.
176
177Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid
178inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner.
179The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of
180this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to
181modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility
182to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the
183Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions)
184may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received.
185In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to
186distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as
187expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses
188to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by
189implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this
190Agreement are reserved.
191
192This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property
193laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action
194under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its
195rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
