Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
|
||
|
||
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. |
