1 Common Public License Version 1.0 2 3 THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC 4 LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM 5 CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. 6 7 1. 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 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 21 distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a 22 Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone 23 acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to 24 the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in 25 conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not 26 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 31 necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when 32 combined with the Program. 33 34 "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement. 35 36 "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, 37 including all Contributors. 38 39 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS 40 41 a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants 42 Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to 43 reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, 44 distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such 45 derivative works, 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 Licensed 49 Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the 50 Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. 51 This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the 52 Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such 53 addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the 54 Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations 55 which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder. 56 57 c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses 58 to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any 59 Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual 60 property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to 61 Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of 62 intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the 63 rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole 64 responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. 65 For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to 66 distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license 67 before distributing the Program. 68 69 d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient 70 copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set 71 forth in this Agreement. 72 73 3. REQUIREMENTS 74 75 A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its 76 own license agreement, provided that: 77 78 a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and 79 80 b) its license agreement: 81 82 i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and 83 conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and 84 non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and 85 fitness for a particular purpose; 86 87 ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for 88 damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential 89 damages, such as lost profits; 90 91 iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered 92 by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and 93 94 iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such 95 Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or 96 through a medium customarily used for software exchange. 97 98 When the Program is made available in source code form: 99 100 a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and 101 102 b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. 103 104 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the 105 Program. 106 107 Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if 108 any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the 109 originator of the Contribution. 110 111 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION 112 113 Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with 114 respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is 115 intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who 116 includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner 117 which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if 118 a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such 119 Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify 120 every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages 121 and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal 122 actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the 123 extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in 124 connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product 125 offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses 126 relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order 127 to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial 128 Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to 129 control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any 130 related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in 131 any such claim at its own expense. 132 133 For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product 134 offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that 135 Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties 136 related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such 137 Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the 138 Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other 139 Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court 140 requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial 141 Contributor must pay those damages. 142 143 5. NO WARRANTY 144 145 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN 146 "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR 147 IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, 148 NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each 149 Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and 150 distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of 151 rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of 152 program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, 153 programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations. 154 155 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY 156 157 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY 158 CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, 159 SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST 160 PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, 161 STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY 162 OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS 163 GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 164 165 7. GENERAL 166 167 If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable 168 law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the 169 terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such 170 provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such 171 provision valid and enforceable. 172 173 If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to 174 a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a 175 lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient 176 under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In 177 addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity 178 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program 179 itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) 180 infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under 181 Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. 182 183 All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to 184 comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does 185 not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of 186 such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, 187 Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as 188 reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement 189 and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and 190 survive. 191 192 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in 193 order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be 194 modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to 195 publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. 196 No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. 197 IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve 198 as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the 199 Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including 200 Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement 201 under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement 202 is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its 203 Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 204 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the 205 intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether 206 expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not 207 expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. 208 209 This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the 210 intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this 211 Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year 212 after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in 213 any resulting litigation. 214
