| 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. |
