|  | ||||
| THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE 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 the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation | ||||
|    distributed under this Agreement, and | ||||
| b) in the case of each subsequent 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 any person or 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this | ||||
| Agreement. | ||||
|  | ||||
| "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. | ||||
|      Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained | ||||
|      within the Program. | ||||
|  | ||||
| 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 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. | ||||
|  | ||||
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in | ||||
| order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be | ||||
| modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to | ||||
| publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to | ||||
| time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this | ||||
| Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The | ||||
| Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement | ||||
| Steward to a suitable separate entity. 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. 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. | ||||
