|
||
|
||
2.1.4. Defensive Termination. If any Licensee files or maintains a
|
||
claim in a court asserting that a Necessary Claim is infringed by an
|
||
Implementation, any licenses granted under this License to the Licensee
|
||
are immediately terminated unless 1) that claim is directly in response
|
||
to a claim against Licensee regarding an Implementation, or 2) that claim

||
property rights of any third party.

|
||
in Section 2.1, Contributor agrees to grant everyone a no charge,
|
||
royalty-free license on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms
|

|
||
applies only to those Necessary Claims infringed by implementing
|
||
Contributor's Contribution(s) included in that Draft Specification,
|
||
and 2) Implementations of the Approved Specification.
|
||
|
||
This patent licensing commitment does not apply to those claims subject
|
||

|
||
|
||
2.3. Effect of Withdrawal. Contributor may withdraw from the Working Group
|
||

|
||
the Working Group repository’s Notices.md file. All of Contributor’s
|
||
existing commitments and obligations with respect to the Working Group
|
||
up to the date of that withdrawal notice will remain in effect, but no
|
||
new obligations will be incurred.
|
||
|
||

|
||
material that has been included in a Draft Deliverable for more than 45
|
||
days prior to the date of that Contribution.

|
||

|
||
Approved Specification, Contributor may exclude Necessary Claims from
|
||
its licensing commitments under this Agreement by issuing an Exclusion
|
||
Notice. Contributor may not issue an Exclusion Notice for patents that
|
||
were eligible to have been excluded pursuant to Section 3.1.
|
||
|
||
4. Source Code License. Any source code developed by the Working Group is
|
||
solely subject the source code license included in the Working Group’s

|
||
|
||
5. No Other Rights. Except as specifically set forth in this License, no
|
||
other express or implied patent, trademark, copyright, or other rights are
|
||
granted under this License, including by implication, waiver, or estoppel.
|
||
|
||
6. Antitrust Compliance. Contributor acknowledge that it may compete
|
||
with other participants in various lines of business and that it is
|
||
therefore imperative that they and their respective representatives
|
||
act in a manner that does not violate any applicable antitrust laws and
|
||
regulations. This License does not restrict any Contributor from engaging
|
||
in similar specification development projects. Each Contributor may
|
||
design, develop, manufacture, acquire or market competitive deliverables,
|
||
products, and services, and conduct its business, in whatever way it
|
||
chooses. No Contributor is obligated to announce or market any products
|
||
or services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
|
||
Contributors agree not to have any discussion relating to any product
|
||
pricing, methods or channels of product distribution, division of markets,
|
||
allocation of customers or any other topic that should not be discussed
|
||
among competitors under the auspices of the Working Group.
|
||
|
||
7. Non-Circumvention. Contributor agrees that it will not intentionally
|
||
take or willfully assist any third party to take any action for the
|
||
purpose of circumventing any obligations under this License.
|
||
|
||
8. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers.
|
||
|
||
8.1. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers. Contributor and Licensee
|
||
represents and warrants that 1) it is legally entitled to grant the
|
||
rights set forth in this License and 2) it will not intentionally include
|
||
any third party materials in any Contribution unless those materials are
|
||
available under terms that do not conflict with this License. IN ALL OTHER
|
||
RESPECTS ITS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." The entire risk as to
|
||
implementing or otherwise using the Contribution or the Specification
|
||
is assumed by the implementer and user. Except as stated herein,
|
||
CONTRIBUTOR AND LICENSEE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES (EXPRESS,
|
||
IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
|
||
NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONDITIONS OF QUALITY,
|
||
OR TITLE, RELATED TO THE CONTRIBUTION OR THE SPECIFICATION. IN NO EVENT
|
||
WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY
|
||
FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
|
||
ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO
|
||
THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
|
||
NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
|
||
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Any obligations regarding
|
||
the transfer, successors in interest, or assignment of Necessary Claims
|
||
will be satisfied if Contributor or Licensee notifies the transferee
|
||
or assignee of any patent that it knows contains Necessary Claims or
|
||
necessary claims under this License. Nothing in this License requires
|
||
Contributor to undertake a patent search. If Contributor is 1) employed by
|
||
or acting on behalf of an employer, 2) is making a Contribution under the
|
||
direction or control of a third party, or 3) is making the Contribution
|
||
as a consultant, contractor, or under another similar relationship with
|
||
a third party, Contributor represents that they have been authorized by
|
||
that party to enter into this License on its behalf.
|
||
|
||
8.2. Distribution Disclaimer. Any distributions of technical
|
||
information to third parties must include a notice materially similar
|
||
to the following: “THESE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” The
|
||
Contributors and Licensees expressly disclaim any warranties (express,
|
||
implied, or otherwise), including implied warranties of merchantability,
|
||
non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose, or title, related to
|
||
the materials. The entire risk as to implementing or otherwise using the
|
||
materials is assumed by the implementer and user. IN NO EVENT WILL THE
|
||
CONTRIBUTORS OR LICENSEES BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS
|
||
OR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
||
OF ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO
|
||
THIS DELIVERABLE OR ITS GOVERNING AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF
|
||
CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT
|
||
THE OTHER MEMBER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.”
