QNX Open Community License Version 1.0 | |
THIS QNX OPEN COMMUNITY LICENSE ( "THE OCL", OR "THIS AGREEMENT") | |
APPLIES TO PROGRAMS THAT QNX SOFTWARE SYSTEMS LTD. ("QSS") EXPRESSLY | |
ELECTS TO LICENSE UNDER THE OCL TERMS. IT ALSO APPLIES TO DERIVATIVE | |
WORKS CREATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THAT CREATORS ELECT TO LICENSE TO | |
OTHERS IN SOURCE CODE FORM. ANY USE, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION OR | |
DISTRIBUTION OF SUCH PROGRAMS CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF | |
THE OCL. THE LICENSE RIGHTS GRANTED BELOW ARE CONDITIONAL UPON | |
RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FORMATION OF A | |
BINDING CONTRACT. NOTHING ELSE GRANTS PERMISSION TO USE, REPRODUCE, | |
MODIFY OR DISTRIBUTE SUCH PROGRAMS OR THEIR DERIVATIVE WORKS. THESE | |
ACTIONS ARE OTHERWISE PROHIBITED. CONTACT QSS IF OTHER STEPS ARE | |
REQUIRED LOCALLY TO CREATE A BINDING CONTRACT. | |
The OCL is intended to promote the development, use and distribution | |
of derivative works created from QSS source code. This includes | |
commercial distribution of object code versions under the terms of | |
Recipient's own license agreement and, at Recipient's option, sharing | |
of source code modifications within the QNX developer's community. The | |
license granted under the OCL is royalty free. Recipient is entitled | |
to charge royalties for object code versions of derivative works that | |
originate with Recipient. If Recipient elects to license source code | |
for its derivative works to others, then it must be licensed under the | |
OCL. The terms of the OCL are as follows: | |
1. DEFINITIONS | |
"Contribution" means: | |
a. in the case of QSS: (i) the Original Program, where the Original | |
Program originates from QSS, (ii) changes and/or additions to | |
Unrestricted Open Source, where the Original Program originates | |
from Unrestricted Open Source and where such changes and/or | |
additions originate from QSS, and (iii) changes and/or additions | |
to the Program where such changes and/or additions originate from | |
QSS. | |
b. in the case of each Contributor, changes and/or additions to the | |
Program, where such changes and/or additions 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 QSS and any other entity that distributes the | |
Program. | |
"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by Contributor to | |
others, which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its | |
Contribution alone or when combined with the Program. | |
"Unrestricted Open Source" means published source code that is | |
licensed for free use and distribution under an unrestricted licensing | |
and distribution model, such as the Berkley Software Design ("BSD") | |
and "BSD-like" licenses. It specifically excludes any source code | |
licensed under any version of the GNU General Public License (GPL) or | |
the GNU Lesser/Library GPL. All "Unrestricted Open Source" license | |
terms appear or are clearly identified in the header of any affected | |
source code for the Original Program. | |
"Original Program" means the original version of the software | |
accompanying this Agreement as released by QSS, 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, and directly and indirectly | |
sublicense and distribute 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. | |
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; | |
and | |
iii. states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement | |
are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other | |
party. | |
If 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 along with any other copyright | |
or attribution statements required by the terms of any applicable | |
Unrestricted Open Source license: | |
Copyright {date here}, QNX Software Systems Ltd. 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 | |
Recipient acknowledges that there may be errors or bugs in the Program | |
and that it is imperative that Recipient conduct thorough testing to | |
identify and correct any problems prior to the productive use or | |
commercial release of any products that use the Program, and prior to | |
the release of any modifications, updates or enhancements thereto. | |
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. | |
QSS 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 QSS 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 in force in the Province of | |
Ontario, Canada without regard to the conflict of law provisions | |
therein. The parties expressly disclaim the provisions of the United | |
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. | |
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. | |
