<h2>Eclipse Public License - v 1.0</h2>
<p>THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
ECLIPSE PUBLIC LICENSE (&quot;AGREEMENT&quot;). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION
OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS AGREEMENT.</p>
<p>
<b>1. DEFINITIONS</b>
</p>
<p>&quot;Contribution&quot; means:</p>
<p class="list">a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the
initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and</p>
<p class="list">b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:</p>
<p class="list">i) changes to the Program, and</p>
<p class="list">ii) additions to the Program;</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p>&quot;Contributor&quot; means any person or entity that
distributes the Program.</p>
<p>&quot;Licensed Patents&quot; 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>&quot;Program&quot; means the Contributions distributed in
accordance with this Agreement.</p>
<p>&quot;Recipient&quot; means anyone who receives the Program
under this Agreement, including all Contributors.</p>
<p>
<b>2. GRANT OF RIGHTS</b>
</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p>
<b>3. REQUIREMENTS</b>
</p>
<p>A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object
code form under its own license agreement, provided that:</p>
<p class="list">a) it complies with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement; and</p>
<p class="list">b) its license agreement:</p>
<p class="list">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;</p>
<p class="list">ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all
Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect,
special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;</p>
<p class="list">iii) states that any provisions which differ from
this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any
other party; and</p>
<p class="list">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.</p>
<p>When the Program is made available in source code form:</p>
<p class="list">a) it must be made available under this Agreement;
and</p>
<p class="list">b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with
each copy of the Program.</p>
<p>Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices
contained within the Program.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
<b>4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION</b>
</p>
<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 (&quot;Commercial Contributor&quot;) hereby agrees to
defend and indemnify every other Contributor (&quot;Indemnified
Contributor&quot;) against any losses, damages and costs (collectively
&quot;Losses&quot;) 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>
<p>
<b>5. NO WARRANTY</b>
</p>
<p>EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
PROVIDED ON AN &quot;AS IS&quot; 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>
<p>
<b>6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY</b>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
<b>7. GENERAL</b>
</p>
<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. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
