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.
