3THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE
4("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 <ORGANIZATION> (" <OWNER> "), the Original Program, and
12
13b. in the case of each Contributor,
14
15i. changes to the Program, and
16
17ii. additions to the Program; where such changes and/or additions to the
18Program originate from and are "Contributed" by that particular Contributor.
19
20A Contribution is "Contributed" by a Contributor only (i) if it was added to
21the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such
22Contributor&apos;s behalf, and (ii) the Contributor explicitly consents, in
23accordance with Section 3C, to characterization of the changes and/or
24additions as Contributions. Contributions do not include additions to the
25Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction
26with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not
27derivative works of the Program.
28
29"Contributor" means <OWNER> and any other entity that has Contributed a
30Contribution to the Program.
31
32"Distributor" means a Recipient that distributes the Program, modifications to
33the Program, or any part thereof.
34
35"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are
36necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when
37combined with the Program.
38
39"Original Program" means the original version of the software accompanying
40this Agreement as released by <OWNER> , including source code, object code and
41documentation, if any.
42
43"Program" means the Original Program and Contributions or any part thereof
44
45"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
46including all Contributors.
47
482. GRANT OF RIGHTS
49
50a. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
51Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to
52reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform,
53distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and
54such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
55
56b. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
57Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under
58Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise
59transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and
60object code form. The patent license granted by a Contributor shall also apply
61to the combination of the Contribution of that Contributor and the Program if,
62at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the
63Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents.
64The patent license granted by a Contributor shall not apply to (i) any other
65combinations which include the Contribution, nor to (ii) Contributions of
66other Contributors. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
67
68c. Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to
69its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any
70Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other
71intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims
72any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on
73infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to
74exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby
75assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
76needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to
77allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient&apos;s
78responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
79
80d. Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
81copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license
82set forth in this Agreement.
83
843. REQUIREMENTS
85
86A. Distributor may choose to distribute the Program in any form under this
87Agreement or under its own license agreement, provided that:
88
891. it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
902. if the Program is distributed in source code or other tangible form, a copy of this Agreement or Distributor&apos;s own license agreement is included with each copy of the Program; and
913. if distributed under Distributor&apos;s own license agreement, such license agreement:
92
93a. effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and
94conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title
95and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability
96and fitness for a particular purpose;
97
98b. effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for
99damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential
100damages, such as lost profits; and
101
102c. states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by
103that Contributor alone and not by any other party.
104
105B. Each Distributor must include the following in a conspicuous location in
106the Program:
107
108Copyright (C) <YEAR>, <ORGANIZATION> and others. All Rights Reserved.
109
110C. In addition, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
111Contribution, if any, and indicate its consent to characterization of its
112additions and/or changes as a Contribution, in a manner that reasonably allows
113subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution. Once
114consent is granted, it may not thereafter be revoked.
115
1164. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
117
118Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
119respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is
120intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Distributor who
121includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
122which does not create potential liability for Contributors. Therefore, if a
123Distributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such
124Distributor ("Commercial Distributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
125every Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and
126costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
127actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the
128extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Distributor in
129connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
130offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
131relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
132to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
133Distributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Distributor
134to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Distributor in, the defense and
135any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may
136participate in any such claim at its own expense.
137
138For example, a Distributor might include the Program in a commercial product
139offering, Product X. That Distributor is then a Commercial Distributor. If
140that Commercial Distributor then makes performance claims, or offers
141warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are
142such Commercial Distributor&apos;s responsibility alone. Under this section,
143the Commercial Distributor would have to defend claims against the
144Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
145court requires any Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial
146Distributor must pay those damages.
147
1485. NO WARRANTY
149
150EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN
151"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
152IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
153NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each
154Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using
155and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its
156exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the
157risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to
158or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of
159operations.
160
1616. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
162
163EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
164CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
165SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
166LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN
167CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE)
168ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE
169EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
170OF SUCH DAMAGES.
171
1727. GENERAL
173
174If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
175applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
176remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the
177parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
178necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
179
180If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect
181to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in
182a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such
183Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation
184is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any
185entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
186the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software
187or hardware) infringes such Recipient&apos;s patent(s), then such
188Recipient&apos;s rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the
189date such litigation is filed.
190
191All Recipient&apos;s rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails
192to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and
193does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware
194of such noncompliance. If all Recipient&apos;s rights under this Agreement
195terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as
196soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient&apos;s obligations under
197this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program
198shall continue and survive.
199
200<OWNER> may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from
201time to time. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing
202version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be
203distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was
204received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published,
205Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions)
206under the new version. No one other than <OWNER> has the right to modify this
207Agreement. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above,
208Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any
209Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel
210or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this
211Agreement are reserved.
212
213This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of <STATE> and the
214intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this
215Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year
216after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial
217in any resulting litigation.
