26 1.1 tron
27 1.1 tron "Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which
28 1.1 tron are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone
29 1.1 tron or when combined with the Program.

41 1.1 tron
42 1.1 tron a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
43 1.1 tron grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright
44 1.1 tron license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display,
45 1.1 tron publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
46 1.1 tron Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and
47 1.1 tron object code form.
48 1.1 tron
49 1.1 tron b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
50 1.1 tron grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
51 1.1 tron license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
52 1.1 tron import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor,
53 1.1 tron if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license
54 1.1 tron shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program
55 1.1 tron if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such
56 1.1 tron addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered
57 1.1 tron by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any
58 1.1 tron other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per
59 1.1 tron se is licensed hereunder.
60 1.1 tron
61 1.1 tron c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
62 1.1 tron licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
63 1.1 tron provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
64 1.1 tron patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
65 1.1 tron Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
66 1.1 tron brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
67 1.1 tron property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights
68 1.1 tron and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
69 1.1 tron responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
70 1.1 tron needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license
71 1.1 tron is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is
72 1.1 tron Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
73 1.1 tron the Program.
74 1.1 tron
75 1.1 tron d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
76 1.1 tron copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
77 1.1 tron license set forth in this Agreement.
78 1.1 tron
79 1.1 tron 3. REQUIREMENTS
80 1.1 tron
81 1.1 tron A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form
82 1.1 tron under its own license agreement, provided that:
83 1.1 tron a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
84 1.1 tron b) its license agreement:
85 1.1 tron i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all
86 1.1 tron warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
87 1.1 tron warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
88 1.1 tron implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
89 1.1 tron for a particular purpose;
90 1.1 tron ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all
91 1.1 tron liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
92 1.1 tron incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
93 1.1 tron iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
94 1.1 tron are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
95 1.1 tron party; and
96 1.1 tron iv) states that source code for the Program is available from
97 1.1 tron such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
98 1.1 tron reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
99 1.1 tron software exchange.
100 1.1 tron
101 1.1 tron When the Program is made available in source code form:
102 1.1 tron a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
103 1.1 tron b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
104 1.1 tron Program.
105 1.1 tron
106 1.1 tron Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location
107 1.1 tron in the Program:
108 1.1 tron
109 1.1 tron Copyright (c) 1997,1998,1999, International Business Machines
110 1.1 tron Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.
111 1.1 tron
112 1.1 tron In addition, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of
113 1.1 tron its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
114 1.1 tron Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
115 1.1 tron
116 1.1 tron 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
117 1.1 tron
118 1.1 tron Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
119 1.1 tron with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this
120 1.1 tron license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the
121 1.1 tron Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering
122 1.1 tron should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for
123 1.1 tron other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in
124 1.1 tron a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor")
125 1.1 tron hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor
126 1.1 tron ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs
127 1.1 tron (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal
128 1.1 tron actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
129 1.1 tron the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor
130 1.1 tron in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial
131 1.1 tron product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any
132 1.1 tron claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
133 1.1 tron infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must:
134 1.1 tron a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim,
135 1.1 tron and
136 1.1 tron b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with
137 1.1 tron the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related
138 1.1 tron settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may
139 1.1 tron participate in any such claim at its own expense.
140 1.1 tron
141 1.1 tron For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
142 1.1 tron product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
143 1.1 tron Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
144 1.1 tron claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
145 1.1 tron claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
146 1.1 tron alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
147 1.1 tron defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance
148 1.1 tron claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to
149 1.1 tron pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those
150 1.1 tron damages.
151 1.1 tron
152 1.1 tron 5. NO WARRANTY
153 1.1 tron
154 1.1 tron EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED
155 1.1 tron ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER
156 1.1 tron EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR
157 1.1 tron CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A
158 1.1 tron PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining
159 1.1 tron the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes
160 1.1 tron all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement,
161 1.1 tron including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
162 1.1 tron compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
163 1.1 tron equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
164 1.1 tron
165 1.1 tron 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
166 1.1 tron
167 1.1 tron EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR
168 1.1 tron ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
169 1.1 tron INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
170 1.1 tron WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
171 1.1 tron LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
172 1.1 tron NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION
173 1.1 tron OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF
174 1.1 tron ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
175 1.1 tron
176 1.1 tron 7. GENERAL
177 1.1 tron
178 1.1 tron If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
179 1.1 tron applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
180 1.1 tron the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action
181 1.1 tron by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
182 1.1 tron extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
183 1.1 tron
184 1.1 tron If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with
185 1.1 tron respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or
186 1.1 tron counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that
187 1.1 tron Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate
188 1.1 tron as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, If Recipient
189 1.1 tron institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim
190 1.1 tron or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding
191 1.1 tron combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes
192 1.1 tron such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under
193 1.1 tron Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
194 1.1 tron
195 1.1 tron All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails
196 1.1 tron to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement
197 1.1 tron and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after
198 1.1 tron becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under
199 1.1 tron this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution
200 1.1 tron of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's
201 1.1 tron obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient
202 1.1 tron relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
203 1.1 tron
204 1.1 tron IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
205 1.1 tron from time to time. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
206 1.1 tron distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions)
207 1.1 tron may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under
208 1.1 tron which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement
209 1.1 tron is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including
210 1.1 tron its Contributions) under the new version. No one other than IBM has the
211 1.1 tron right to modify this Agreement. Except as expressly stated in Sections
212 1.1 tron 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the
213 1.1 tron intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether
214 1.1 tron expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the
215 1.1 tron Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.
216 1.1 tron
217 1.1 tron This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
218 1.1 tron intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to
219 1.1 tron this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than
220 1.1 tron one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights
221 1.1 tron to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
