THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC
2
LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM
3
CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS
6
7
"Contribution" means:
8
9
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and
10
documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
11
12
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
13
14
i) changes to the Program, and
15
16
ii) additions to the Program;
17
18
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are
19
distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from
20
a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or
21
anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include
22
additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software
23
distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license
24
agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
25
26
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
27
28
"Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are
29
necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when
30
combined with the Program.
31
32
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this
33
Agreement.
34
35
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
36
including all Contributors.

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