2
3THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE 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
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        i) changes to the Program, and
16        ii) additions to the Program;
17
18where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are
19distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates'
20from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself
21or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include
22additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software
23distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement,
24and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
25
26"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
27
28"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are
29necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or
30when combined with the Program.
31
32"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with
33this Agreement.
34
35"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
36including all Contributors.
37
382. GRANT OF RIGHTS
39
40    a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
41       Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to
42       reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly
43       perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
44       Contributor, if any, and such derivative works,
45       in source code and object code form.
46
47    b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
48       Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under
49       Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and
50       otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any,
51       in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply
52       to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time
53       the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the
54       Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the
55       Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
56       combinations which include the Contribution.
57       No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
58
59    c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
60       licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
61       provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
62       patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
63       Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
64       brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
65       property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
66       rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes
67       sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
68       needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is
69       required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is
70       Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
71       before distributing the Program.
72
73    d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
74       copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
75       license set forth in this Agreement.
76
773. REQUIREMENTS
78
79A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under
80its own license agreement, provided that:
81
82    a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
83
84    b) its license agreement:
85
86        i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
87        and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or
88        conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or
89        conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
90
91        ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
92        for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and
93        consequential damages, such as lost profits;
94
95        iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are
96        offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
97
98        iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
99        Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable
100        manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
101
102When the Program is made available in source code form:
103
104    a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
105    b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
106
107Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
108within the Program.
109
110Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution,
111if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to
112identify the originator of the Contribution.
113
1144. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
115
116Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with
117respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is
118intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who
119includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
120which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore,
121if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering,
122such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and
123indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any
124losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
125lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the
126Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of
127such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program
128in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply
129to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual
130property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must:
131a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim,
132and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the
133Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement
134negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such
135claim at its own expense.
136
137For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product
138offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor.
139If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers
140warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties
141are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section,
142the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other
143Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
144court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result,
145the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
146
1475. NO WARRANTY
148
149EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN
150"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
151IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
152NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
153Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of
154using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its
155exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the
156risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to
157or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability
158or interruption of operations.
159
1606. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
161
162EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
163CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
164SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
165LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN
166CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE)
167ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE
168EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE
169POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
170
1717. GENERAL
172
173If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
174applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the
175remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by
176the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent
177necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
178
179If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
180cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself
181(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware)
182infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted
183under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
184
185All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to
186comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and
187does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming
188aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this
189Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the
190Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations
191under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the
192Program shall continue and survive.
193
194Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement,
195but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may
196only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves
197the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
198from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to

202of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program
203(including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version
204of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version
205of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program
206(including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly
207stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or
208licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement,
209whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the
210Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
211
