118patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import
119and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source
120code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination
121of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added
122by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination
123to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to
124any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is
125licensed hereunder. </span></p>
126

128Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
129Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor
130that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property
131rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient
132for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
133property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and
134licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility
135to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example,
136if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute
137the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before

193<p><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</span></b> </p>
194
195<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>Commercial distributors of software may
196accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners
197and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use
198of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial
199product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
200liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the
201Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor (&quot;Commercial
202Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other
203Contributor (&quot;Indemnified Contributor&quot;) against any losses, damages and
204costs (collectively &quot;Losses&quot;) arising from claims, lawsuits and other
205legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to
206the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
207connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product
208offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses
209relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order
210to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
211Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor
212to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and
213any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate
214in any such claim at its own expense.</span> </p>
215
216<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>For example, a Contributor might include the
217Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a
218Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
219claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and
220warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this
221section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the
222other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a
223court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
224Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.</span> </p>
