<H1>Eclipse Public License - v 2.0</H1>
<P>THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE
PUBLIC LICENSE (“AGREEMENT”). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE
PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT. </P>
<H2 id="definitions">1. DEFINITIONS</H2>
<P>“Contribution” means:</P>
<UL>
<LI>a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial content
Distributed under this Agreement, and </LI>
<LI> b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
<UL>
<LI>i) changes to the Program, and</LI>
<LI>ii) additions to the Program;</LI></UL> 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
changes or additions to the Program that are not Modified Works.
</LI></UL>
<P>“Contributor” means any person or entity that Distributes the Program.</P>
<P>“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. </P>
<P>“Program” means the Contributions Distributed in accordance with this
Agreement. </P>
<P>“Recipient” means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement
or any Secondary License (as applicable), including Contributors. </P>
<P>“Derivative Works” shall mean any work, whether in Source Code or other
form, that is based on (or derived from) the Program and for which the
editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. </P>
<P>“Modified Works” shall mean any work in Source Code or other form that
results from an addition to, deletion from, or modification of the contents
of the Program, including, for purposes of clarity any new file in Source
Code form that contains any contents of the Program. Modified Works shall
not include works that contain only declarations, interfaces, types,
classes, structures, or files of the Program solely in each case in order
to link to, bind by name, or subclass the Program or Modified Works
thereof. </P>
<P>“Distribute” means the acts of a) distributing or b) making available in
any manner that enables the transfer of a copy. </P>
<P>“Source Code” means the form of a Program preferred for making
modifications, including but not limited to software source code,
documentation source, and configuration files. </P>
<P>“Secondary License” means either the GNU General Public License, Version
2.0, or any later versions of that license, including any exceptions or
additional permissions as identified by the initial Contributor. </P>
<H2 id="grant-of-rights">2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</H2>
<UL>
<LI>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. </LI>
<LI>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 or other 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. </LI>
<LI>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. </LI>
<LI>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. </LI>
<LI>e) Notwithstanding the terms of any Secondary License, no Contributor
makes additional grants to any Recipient (other than those set forth
in this Agreement) as a result of such Recipient's receipt of the
Program under the terms of a Secondary License (if permitted under the
terms of Section 3). </LI></UL>
<H2 id="requirements">3. REQUIREMENTS</H2>
<P>3.1 If a Contributor Distributes the Program in any form, then:</P>
<UL>
<LI>a) the Program must also be made available as Source Code, in
accordance with section 3.2, and the Contributor must accompany the
Program with a statement that the Source Code for the Program is
available under this Agreement, and informs Recipients how to obtain it
in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
software exchange; and </LI>
<LI> b) the Contributor may Distribute the Program under a license
different than this Agreement, provided that such license:
<UL>
<LI>i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all other 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; </LI>
<LI>ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all other Contributors all
liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental
and consequential damages, such as lost profits; </LI>
<LI>iii) does not attempt to limit or alter the recipients' rights in the
Source Code under section 3.2; and </LI>
<LI>iv) requires any subsequent distribution of the Program by any party
to be under a license that satisfies the requirements of this section
3. </LI></UL></LI></UL>
<P>3.2 When the Program is Distributed as Source Code:</P>
<UL>
<LI>a) it must be made available under this Agreement, or if the Program (i)
is combined with other material in a separate file or files made
available under a Secondary License, and (ii) the initial Contributor
attached to the Source Code the notice described in Exhibit A of this
Agreement, then the Program may be made available under the terms of
such Secondary Licenses, and </LI>
<LI>b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
Program.</LI></UL>
<P>3.3 Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright, patent, trademark,
attribution notices, disclaimers of warranty, or limitations of liability
(‘notices’) contained within the Program from any copy of the Program which
they Distribute, provided that Contributors may add their own appropriate
notices. </P>
<H2 id="commercial-distribution">4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</H2>
<P>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. </P>
<P>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. </P>
<H2 id="warranty">5. NO WARRANTY</H2>
<P>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, 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. </P>
<H2 id="disclaimer">6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</H2>
<P>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW, 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. </P>
<H2 id="general">7. GENERAL</H2>
<P>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. </P>
<P>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.
</P>
<P>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. </P>
<P>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement,
but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may
only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves
the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement
from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to
modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial Agreement
Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the responsibility to serve as
the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. 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. </P>
<P>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. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to
be enforceable by any entity that is not a Contributor or Recipient. No
third-party beneficiary rights are created under this Agreement. </P>
