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.

|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>1. DEFINITIONS</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Contribution" means:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial
|
|
code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
i) changes to the Program, and
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
ii) additions to the Program;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes
|
|
the Program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance
|
|
with this Agreement.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under
|
|
this Agreement, including all Contributors.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>3. REQUIREMENTS</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
|
|
form under its own license agreement, provided that:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
|
|
Agreement; and
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
b) its license agreement:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors
|
|
all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
|
|
incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
|
|
Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
|
|
party; and
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When the Program is made available in source code form:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p class="list">
|
|
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each
|
|
copy of the Program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
|
|
within the Program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>5. NO WARRANTY</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<strong>7. GENERAL</strong>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
