2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
79+
80+
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
81+
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license, for any
82+
Non-competitive Purpose, to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly
83+
display, publicly perform, Distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
84+
Contributor, if any, and such Derivative Works.
85+
86+
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants
87+
Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed
88+
Patents, for any Non-competitive Purpose, to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
89+
import, and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in
90+
Source Code or other form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of
91+
the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by
92+
the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be
93+
covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
94+
combinations that include the Contribution.
95+
96+
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to
97+
its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any
98+
Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual
99+
property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to
100+
Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of
101+
intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the
102+
rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
103+
responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any.
104+
For example, if a third-party patent license is required to allow Recipient to
105+
Distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license
106+
before distributing the Program.
107+
108+
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright
109+
rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in
110+
this Agreement.
111+
112+
3. REQUIREMENTS
113+
114+
3.1 If a Contributor Distributes the Program in any form, then the Program must
115+
also be made available as Source Code, in accordance with section 3.2, and the
116+
Contributor must accompany the Program with a statement that the Source Code for
117+
the Program is available under this Agreement, and inform Recipients how to
118+
obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
119+
software exchange; and
120+
121+
3.2 When the Program is Distributed as Source Code:
122+
123+
a) it must be made available under this Agreement, and
124+
125+
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
126+
127+
3.3 Contributors may not remove or alter any Notices contained within the
128+
Program from any copy of the Program which they Distribute, provided that
129+
Contributors may add their own appropriate Notices.
130+
131+
4. NO WARRANTY
132+
133+
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
134+
APPLICABLE LAW, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES
135+
OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT
136+
LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT,
137+
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely
138+
responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the
139+
Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this
140+
Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors,
141+
compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or
142+
equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
143+
144+
5. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
145+
146+
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
147+
APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY
148+
FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL
149+
DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY
150+
THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
151+
NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF
152+
THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF
153+
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
154+
155+
6. GENERAL
156+
157+
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable
158+
law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the
159+
terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such
160+
provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such
161+
provision valid and enforceable.
162+
163+
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a
164+
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself
165+
(excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware)
166+
infringes such Recipient’s patent(s), then such Recipient’s rights granted under
167+
Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
168+
169+
All Recipient’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to
170+
comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does
171+
not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of
172+
such noncompliance. If all Recipient’s rights under this Agreement terminate,
173+
Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as
174+
reasonably practicable. However, Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement
175+
and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and
176+
survive.
177+
178+
Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives
179+
no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this
180+
Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise. All rights
181+
in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved. Nothing
182+
in this Agreement is intended to be enforceable by any entity that is not a
183+
Contributor or Recipient. No third-party beneficiary rights are created under
184+
this Agreement.
