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 © {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.
