34+
35+
THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
36+
ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR
37+
DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF
38+
THIS AGREEMENT.
39+
40+
1. DEFINITIONS
41+
42+
"Contribution" means:
43+
44+
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and
45+
documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
46+
47+
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
48+
49+
i) changes to the Program, and
50+
51+
ii) additions to the Program;
52+
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from
53+
and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A
54+
Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to
55+
the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such
56+
Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to
57+
the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software
58+
distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own
59+
license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the
60+
Program.
61+
62+
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
63+
64+
"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor
65+
which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its
66+
Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
67+
68+
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with
69+
this Agreement.
70+
71+
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this
72+
Agreement, including all Contributors.
73+
74+
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
75+
76+
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor
77+
hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
78+
copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of,
79+
publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the
80+
Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative
81+
works, in source code and object code form.
82+
83+
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor
84+
hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
85+
patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer
86+
to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
87+
Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This
88+
patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution
89+
and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the
90+
Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such
91+
combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent
92+
license shall not apply to any other combinations which include
93+
the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
94+
95+
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants
96+
the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances
97+
are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not
98+
infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any
99+
other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to
100+
Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on
101+
infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a
102+
condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted
103+
hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to
104+
secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
105+
example, if a third party patent license is required to allow
106+
Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's
107+
responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the
108+
Program.
109+
110+
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has
111+
sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant
112+
the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
113+
114+
3. REQUIREMENTS
115+
116+
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
117+
form under its own license agreement, provided that:
118+
119+
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
120+
and
121+
122+
b) its license agreement:
123+
124+
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all
125+
warranties and conditions, express and implied, including
126+
warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and
127+
implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness
128+
for a particular purpose;
129+
130+
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all
131+
liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
132+
incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
133+
134+
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
135+
are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party;
136+
and
137+
138+
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from
139+
such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
140+
reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
141+
software exchange.
142+
143+
When the Program is made available in source code form:
144+
145+
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
146+
147+
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of
148+
the Program.
149+
150+
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices
151+
contained within the Program.
152+
153+
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
154+
Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows
155+
subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the
156+
Contribution.
157+
158+
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
159+
160+
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
161+
responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and
162+
the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the
163+
commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the
164+
Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner
165+
which does not create potential liability for other
166+
Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in
167+
a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial
168+
Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
169+
Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses,
170+
damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
171+
lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against
172+
the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or
173+
omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its
174+
distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The
175+
obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
176+
relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
177+
infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor
178+
must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of
179+
such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control,
180+
and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and
181+
any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor
182+
may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
183+
184+
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a
185+
commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then
186+
a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then
187+
makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product
188+
X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial
189+
Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the
190+
Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
191+
other Contributors related to those performance claims and
192+
warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay
193+
any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay
194+
those damages.
195+
196+
5. NO WARRANTY
197+
198+
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
199+
PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF
200+
ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
201+
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
202+
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
203+
PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the
204+
appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes
205+
all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this
206+
Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs of
207+
program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or
208+
loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or
209+
interruption of operations.
210+
211+
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
212+
213+
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER
214+
RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY
215+
DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR
216+
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST
217+
PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER
218+
IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR
219+
OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF
220+
THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN
221+
IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
222+
223+
7. GENERAL
224+
225+
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable
226+
under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
227+
enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement,
228+
and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision
229+
shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
230+
provision valid and enforceable.
231+
232+
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity
233+
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
234+
that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program
235+
with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's
236+
patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section
237+
2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
238+
239+
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it
240+
fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of
241+
this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable
242+
period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all
243+
Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient
244+
agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
245+
reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under
246+
this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to
247+
the Program shall continue and survive.
248+
249+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this
250+
Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is
251+
copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The
252+
Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions
253+
(including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one
254+
other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this
255+
Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement
256+
Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to
257+
serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate
258+
entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
259+
distinguishing version number. The Program (including
260+
Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version
261+
of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after
262+
a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may
263+
elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions)
264+
under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections
265+
2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to
266+
the intellectual property of any Contributor under this
267+
Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or
268+
otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under
269+
this Agreement are reserved.
270+
271+
This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York
272+
and the intellectual property laws of the United States of
273+
America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action
274+
under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action
275+
arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any
276+
resulting litigation.
