     31 
     32 <p>THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE
     33 PUBLIC LICENSE (&quot;AGREEMENT&quot;). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR
     34 DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS
     35 AGREEMENT.</p>
     36 
     37 <p><b>1. DEFINITIONS</b></p>
     38 
     39 <p>&quot;Contribution&quot; means:</p>
     40 
     41 <p class="list">a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial
     42 code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and</p>
     43 <p class="list">b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:</p>
     44 <p class="list">i) changes to the Program, and</p>
     45 <p class="list">ii) additions to the Program;</p>
     46 <p class="list">where such changes and/or additions to the Program
     47 originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A
     48 Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the
     49 Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such
     50 Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the
     51 Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in
     52 conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii)
     53 are not derivative works of the Program.</p>
     54 
     55 <p>&quot;Contributor&quot; means any person or entity that distributes
     56 the Program.</p>
     57 
     58 <p>&quot;Licensed Patents&quot; mean patent claims licensable by a
     59 Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its
     60 Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.</p>
     61 
     62 <p>&quot;Program&quot; means the Contributions distributed in accordance
     63 with this Agreement.</p>
     64 
     65 <p>&quot;Recipient&quot; means anyone who receives the Program under
     66 this Agreement, including all Contributors.</p>
     67 
     68 <p><b>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</b></p>
     69 
     70 <p class="list">a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each
     71 Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,
     72 royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works
     73 of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the
     74 Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in
     75 source code and object code form.</p>
     76 
     77 <p class="list">b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each
     78 Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide,
     79 royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell,
     80 offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such
     81 Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent
     82 license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the
     83 Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor,
     84 such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered
     85 by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other
     86 combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
     87 licensed hereunder.</p>
     88 
     89 <p class="list">c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor
     90 grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances
     91 are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
     92 patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each
     93 Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by
     94 any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights
     95 or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
     96 granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to
     97 secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
     98 example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient
     99 to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire
    100 that license before distributing the Program.</p>
    101 
    102 <p class="list">d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it
    103 has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant
    104 the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.</p>
    105 
    106 <p><b>3. REQUIREMENTS</b></p>
    107 
    108 <p>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
    109 form under its own license agreement, provided that:</p>
    110 
    111 <p class="list">a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
    112 Agreement; and</p>
    113 
    114 <p class="list">b) its license agreement:</p>
    115 
    116 <p class="list">i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors
    117 all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties
    118 or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or
    119 conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;</p>
    120 
    121 <p class="list">ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors
    122 all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
    123 incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;</p>
    124 
    125 <p class="list">iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
    126 Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
    127 party; and</p>
    128 
    129 <p class="list">iv) states that source code for the Program is available
    130 from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a
    131 reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software
    132 exchange.</p>
    133 
    134 <p>When the Program is made available in source code form:</p>
    135 
    136 <p class="list">a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and</p>
    137 
    138 <p class="list">b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each
    139 copy of the Program.</p>
    140 
    141 <p>Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
    142 within the Program.</p>
    143 
    144 <p>Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
    145 Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
    146 Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.</p>
    147 
    148 <p><b>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</b></p>
    149 
    150 <p>Commercial distributors of software may accept certain
    151 responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the
    152 like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of
    153 the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
    154 product offering should do so in a manner which does not create
    155 potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor
    156 includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor
    157 (&quot;Commercial Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to defend and
    158 indemnify every other Contributor (&quot;Indemnified Contributor&quot;)
    159 against any losses, damages and costs (collectively &quot;Losses&quot;)
    160 arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third
    161 party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the
    162 acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its
    163 distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The
    164 obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
    165 relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In
    166 order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify
    167 the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the
    168 Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial
    169 Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The
    170 Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own
    171 expense.</p>
    172 
    173 <p>For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
    174 product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
    175 Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
    176 claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
    177 claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
    178 alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
    179 defend claims against the other Contributors related to those
    180 performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other
    181 Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor
    182 must pay those damages.</p>
    183 
    184 <p><b>5. NO WARRANTY</b></p>
    185 
    186 <p>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
    187 PROVIDED ON AN &quot;AS IS&quot; BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS
    188 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
    189 ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY
    190 OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely
    191 responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and
    192 distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its
    193 exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to
    194 the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws,
    195 damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or
    196 interruption of operations.</p>
    197 
    198 <p><b>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</b></p>
    199 
    200 <p>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT
    201 NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
    202 INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
    203 WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
    204 LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
    205 NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR
    206 DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED
    207 HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
    208 
    209 <p><b>7. GENERAL</b></p>
    210 
    211 <p>If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
    212 applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
    213 the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action
    214 by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum
    215 extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.</p>
    216 
    217 <p>If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity
    218 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the
    219 Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other
    220 software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such
    221 Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the
    222 date such litigation is filed.</p>
    223 
    224 <p>All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it
    225 fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this
    226 Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time
    227 after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights
    228 under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and
    229 distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However,
    230 Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by
    231 Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.</p>
    232 
    233 <p>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this
    234 Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is
    235 copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The
    236 Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including
    237 revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the
    238 Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse
    239 Foundation is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may
    240 assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a
    241 suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be
    242 given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including
    243 Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the
    244 Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version
    245 of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the
    246 Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as
    247 expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no
    248 rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under
    249 this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or
    250 otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this
    251 Agreement are reserved.</p>
    252 
    253 <p>This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and
    254 the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party
    255 to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more
    256 than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its
    257 rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.</p>
