1Common Public License Version 1.0 2 3THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC 4LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM 5CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. 6 71. DEFINITIONS 8 9"Contribution" means: 10 11a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation 12distributed under this Agreement, and 13 14b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor: 15 16i) changes to the Program, and 17 18ii) additions to the Program; 19 20where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are 21distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 22'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by 23such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. 24Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate 25modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their 26own license agreement, 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 31necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when 32combined with the Program. 33 34"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this 35Agreement. 36 37"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, 38including all Contributors. 39 402. GRANT OF RIGHTS 41 42a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants 43Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to 44reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, 45distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and 46such derivative works, in source code and object code form. 47 48b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants 49Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under 50Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise 51transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and 52object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the 53Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the 54Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be 55covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any 56other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is 57licensed hereunder. 58 59c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to 60its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any 61Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other 62intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims 63any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on 64infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to 65exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby 66assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights 67needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to 68allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's 69responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program. 70 71d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient 72copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license 73set forth in this Agreement. 74 753. REQUIREMENTS 76 77A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under 78its own license agreement, provided that: 79 80a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and 81 82b) its license agreement: 83 84i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and 85conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title 86and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability 87and fitness for a particular purpose; 88 89ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for 90damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential 91damages, such as lost profits; 92 93iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered 94by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and 95 96iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such 97Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on 98or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. 99 100When the Program is made available in source code form: 101 102a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and 103 104b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. 105 106Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within 107the Program. 108 109Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, 110if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify 111the originator of the Contribution. 112 1134. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 114 115Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with 116respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is 117intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who 118includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner 119which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, 120if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such 121Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify 122every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, 123damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and 124other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified 125Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial 126Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial 127product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims 128or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property 129infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) 130promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) 131allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial 132Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The 133Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense. 134 135For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product 136offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If 137that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers 138warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are 139such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, 140the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other 141Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a 142court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the 143Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. 144 1455. NO WARRANTY 146 147EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN 148"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR 149IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, 150NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each 151Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using 152and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its 153exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the 154risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to 155or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of 156operations. 157 1586. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 159 160EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY 161CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, 162SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION 163LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN 164CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) 165ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE 166EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY 167OF SUCH DAMAGES. 168 1697. GENERAL 170 171If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under 172applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the 173remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the 174parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent 175necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. 176 177If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect 178to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in 179a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such 180Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation 181is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any 182entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that 183the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software 184or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such 185Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the 186date such litigation is filed. 187 188All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails 189to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and 190does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware 191of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement 192terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as 193soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under 194this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program 195shall continue and survive. 196 197Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in 198order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be 199modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to 200publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to 201time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this 202Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the 203responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate 204entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing 205version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be 206distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was 207received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, 208Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) 209under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) 210above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property 211of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, 212estoppel or otherwise.
