r1 | THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC | |||
LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM | ||||
CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. | ||||
1. DEFINITIONS | ||||
"Contribution" means: | ||||
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and | ||||
documentation distributed under this Agreement, and | ||||
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor: | ||||
i) changes to the Program, and | ||||
ii) additions to the Program; | ||||
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are | ||||
distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from | ||||
a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or | ||||
anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include | ||||
additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software | ||||
distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license | ||||
agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program. | ||||
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program. | ||||
"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are | ||||
necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when | ||||
combined with the Program. | ||||
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this | ||||
Agreement. | ||||
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, | ||||
including all Contributors. | ||||
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS | ||||
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants | ||||
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to | ||||
reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, | ||||
distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and | ||||
such derivative works, in source code and object code form. | ||||
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants | ||||
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under | ||||
Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise | ||||
transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and | ||||
object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the | ||||
Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the | ||||
Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be | ||||
covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any | ||||
other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is | ||||
licensed hereunder. | ||||
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses | ||||
to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any | ||||
Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other | ||||
intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims | ||||
any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on | ||||
infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to | ||||
exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby | ||||
assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights | ||||
needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to | ||||
allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility | ||||
to acquire that license before distributing the Program. | ||||
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient | ||||
copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license | ||||
set forth in this Agreement. | ||||
3. REQUIREMENTS | ||||
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under | ||||
its own license agreement, provided that: | ||||
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and | ||||
b) its license agreement: | ||||
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and | ||||
conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title | ||||
and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability | ||||
and fitness for a particular purpose; | ||||
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for | ||||
damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential | ||||
damages, such as lost profits; | ||||
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered | ||||
by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and | ||||
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such | ||||
Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on | ||||
or through a medium customarily used for software exchange. | ||||
When the Program is made available in source code form: | ||||
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and | ||||
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. | ||||
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within | ||||
the Program. | ||||
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, | ||||
if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify | ||||
the originator of the Contribution. | ||||
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION | ||||
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with | ||||
respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is | ||||
intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who | ||||
includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a | ||||
manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. | ||||
Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product | ||||
offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend | ||||
and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any | ||||
losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, | ||||
lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the | ||||
Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such | ||||
Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in | ||||
a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply | ||||
to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual | ||||
property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: | ||||
a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and | ||||
b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the | ||||
Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement | ||||
negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim | ||||
at its own expense. | ||||
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product | ||||
offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If | ||||
that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers | ||||
warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are | ||||
such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the | ||||
Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other | ||||
Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a | ||||
court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the | ||||
Commercial Contributor must pay those damages. | ||||
5. NO WARRANTY | ||||
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON | ||||
AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER | ||||
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR | ||||
CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A | ||||
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the | ||||
appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks | ||||
associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but | ||||
not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with | ||||
applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and | ||||
unavailability or interruption of operations. | ||||
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY | ||||
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY | ||||
CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, | ||||
SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION | ||||
LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN | ||||
CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) | ||||
ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE | ||||
EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY | ||||
OF SUCH DAMAGES. | ||||
7. GENERAL | ||||
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under | ||||
applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the | ||||
remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the | ||||
parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent | ||||
necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable. | ||||
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a | ||||
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself | ||||
(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) | ||||
infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted | ||||
under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. | ||||
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to | ||||
comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and | ||||
does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming | ||||
aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement | ||||
terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as | ||||
soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this | ||||
Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall | ||||
continue and survive. | ||||
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in | ||||
order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be | ||||
modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to | ||||
publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to | ||||
time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this | ||||
Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The | ||||
Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement | ||||
Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will | ||||
be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including | ||||
Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the | ||||
Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of | ||||
the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program | ||||
(including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly | ||||
stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or | ||||
licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this | ||||
Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All | ||||
rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are | ||||
reserved. | ||||
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the | ||||
intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this | ||||
Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year | ||||
after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial | ||||
in any resulting litigation. | ||||
