<p>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
</b><p>a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient
|
||
a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to<font COLOR="#ff0000"> </font>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.</p>
|
||
<p>b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a
|
||
non-exclusive, worldwide,<font COLOR="#008000"> </font>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. </p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<p>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. </p>

</blockquote>
|

<b>
|
||
|
||
<p>3. REQUIREMENTS</p>
|
||
</b>
|
||
|
||
<p>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own
|
||
license agreement, provided that:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and</p>
|
||
<p>b) its license agreement:</p>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>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; </p>
|
||
<p>ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages,
|
||
including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost
|
||
profits; </p>
|
||
<p>iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that
|
||
Contributor alone and not by any other party; and</p>
|
||
<p>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.<font COLOR="#0000ff"> </p>
|
||
</font>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<p>When the Program is made available in source code form:</p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and </p>
|
||
<p>b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program. </p>
|
||
<font COLOR="#0000ff"><strike>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
</strike></font>
|
||
|
||
<p>Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location in the Program: </p>
|
||
|
||
<blockquote>
|
||
<p>Copyright <font FACE="Times New Roman"><EFBFBD></font><font COLOR="#ff0000"> </font>1999,
|
||
International Business Machines Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved. </p>
|
||
</blockquote>
|
||
|
||
<p>In addition, 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. </p>
|
||
<b>
|
||
|
||
<p>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</p>
|
||
</b>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<b>
|
||
|
||
<p>5. NO WARRANTY</p>
|
||
</b>
|
||
|
||
<p>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. </p>
|
||
<b>
|
||
|
||
<p>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</p>
|
||
</b>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
<b>
|
||
|
||
<p>7. GENERAL</p>
|
||
</b>
|
||
|
||
<p>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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a
|
||
patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then
|
||
any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement
|
||
shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, 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. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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. </p>
|
||
|
||
<p>IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time.
|
||
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. No one other than IBM has the right to modify this
|
||
Agreement. 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.</p>
|
||
|
||
<p>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. </p>
