IBM PUBLIC LICENSE VERSION 1.0 - SECURE MAILER
|
||
|
|
||
|
THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS IBM 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 International Business Machines Corporation ("IBM"),
|
||
|
the Original Program, and
|
||
|
b) in the case of each 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 IBM and any other 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Original Program" means the original version of the software accompanying
|
||
|
this Agreement as released by IBM, including source code, object code
|
||
|
and documentation, if any.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Program" means the Original Program and Contributions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Each Contributor must include the following in a conspicuous location
|
||
|
in the Program:
|
||
|
|
||
|
Copyright (c) 1997,1998,1999, International Business Machines
|
||
|
Corporation and others. All Rights Reserved.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In addition, 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 a Contributor with
|
||
|
respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or
|
||
|
counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that
|
||
|
Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate
|
||
|
as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, 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.
|
||
|
|
||
|
IBM may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
|
||
|
from time to time. 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. No one other than IBM has the
|
||
|
right to modify this Agreement. 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.
