JPMorgan Chase Bank & Co., Cisco Systems, Inc., Envoy Technologies Inc., iMatix | |
Corporation, IONA Technologies, Red Hat, Inc., TWIST Process Innovations, and | |
29West Inc. (collectively, the "Authors") each hereby grants to you a worldwide, | |
perpetual, royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive license to | |
(i) copy, display, distribute, and implement the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol | |
("AMQP") Specification and (ii) the Licensed Claims that are held by | |
the Authors, all for the purpose of implementing the Advanced Messaging | |
Queue Protocol Specification. Your license and any rights under this | |
Agreement will terminate immediately without notice from | |
any Author if you bring any claim, suit, demand, or action related to | |
the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification against any Author. | |
Upon termination, you shall destroy all copies of the Advanced Messaging | |
Queue Protocol Specification in your possession or control. | |
As used hereunder, "Licensed Claims" means those claims of a patent or | |
patent application, throughout the world, excluding design patents and | |
design registrations, owned or controlled, or that can be sublicensed | |
without fee and in compliance with the requirements of this | |
Agreement, by an Author or its affiliates now or at any | |
future time and which would necessarily be infringed by implementation | |
of the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification. A claim is | |
necessarily infringed hereunder only when it is not possible to avoid | |
infringing it because there is no plausible non-infringing alternative | |
for implementing the required portions of the Advanced Messaging Queue | |
Protocol Specification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensed Claims | |
shall not include any claims other than as set forth above even if | |
contained in the same patent as Licensed Claims; or that read solely | |
on any implementations of any portion of the Advanced Messaging Queue | |
Protocol Specification that are not required by the Advanced Messaging | |
Queue Protocol Specification, or that, if licensed, would require a | |
payment of royalties by the licensor to unaffiliated third parties. | |
Moreover, Licensed Claims shall not include (i) any enabling technologies | |
that may be necessary to make or use any Licensed Product but are not | |
themselves expressly set forth in the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol | |
Specification (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing technology, compiler | |
technology, object oriented technology, networking technology, operating | |
system technology, and the like); or (ii) the implementation of other | |
published standards developed elsewhere and merely referred to in the | |
body of the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification, or | |
(iii) any Licensed Product and any combinations thereof the purpose or | |
function of which is not required for compliance with the Advanced | |
Messaging Queue Protocol Specification. For purposes of this definition, | |
the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification shall be deemed to | |
include both architectural and interconnection requirements essential | |
for interoperability and may also include supporting source code artifacts | |
where such architectural, interconnection requirements and source code | |
artifacts are expressly identified as being required or documentation to | |
achieve compliance with the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification. | |
As used hereunder, "Licensed Products" means only those specific portions | |
of products (hardware, software or combinations thereof) that implement | |
and are compliant with all relevant portions of the Advanced Messaging | |
Queue Protocol Specification. | |
The following disclaimers, which you hereby also acknowledge as to any | |
use you may make of the Advanced Messaging Queue Protocol Specification: | |
