IBM Public License Version 1.0
|
||
THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS IBM 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 International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"),
|
||
the Original Program, and
|
||
b) in the case of each 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 IBM and any other 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.
|
||
"Original Program" means the original version of the software accompanying
|
||
this Agreement as released by IBM, including source code, object code and
|
||
documentation, if any.
|
||
"Program" means the Original Program and Contributions.
|
||
"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.
|
||
Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location in
|
||
the Program:
|
||
Copyright <20> {date here}, International Business Machines Corporation and
|
||
others. All Rights Reserved.
|
||
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.
|
||
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 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.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
|
||
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.
