sed on infringement of in tellectual property rights or oth er wise. As a
condition to exerci sing the rights and licenses granted her eunder , each
Recipient her eby assumes sole r esponsibility to secur e any other int el-
lectual property rights needed, if any . For ex ample, if a third par ty patent
license is req uired to allow R ecipient to distribute the Pr ogram, it is Reci-
pient's responsibility t o acquire that license before distribu ting the Pro-
gram.

pyright rights in its Contribution, if any , to grant the copyright license set

3. Requirements.
A Contribu tor ma y choose to dis tribute the Pr ogram in object co de form
under its own license agreement, pro vided that:
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this A greement; and
b) its license agr eement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contribut ors al l warranties and
conditions, e xpress and implied, including warranties or conditions of
title and non-infringement, a nd implied warranties or condition s of mer-
chantability and fitness for a p a r t ic ul a r p ur po s e;
ii) effectively e xcludes on behalf of all Contribut ors all liability for dama-
ges, including dir ect, indirect, special, in cidental and consequential da-
mages, such as lost profits;
iii) states th at any pro visions which differ fr om this Agreement ar e of fe-
red b y that Contributor alone and no t by an y other par ty; and
iv ) st ate s t ha t s ourc e c od e fo r t he Prog ra m i s ava il ab le from su ch C on tr i-
butor , and info r ms licensees ho w to obtain it in a r easonable manner on

When the Program is made a vailable in source code f orm:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this A greement must be included with each cop y of the Pro-
gram.
Contributors may no t remove or alt er any copyright notices contained
within the Program.
Each Contributor must identi fy itself as the originator of itsContribution,
if an y , in a manner that reasonably allo ws subsequent Recipients to iden-
tify the origin ator of the Contribution.
4. Commercial distr ibution.
Commercial distribu tors of software ma y accept certain responsibilities
with respect t o end users, business partners and the like. While this li-
cense is inte nded to facilitate the co mmercial use of the Program, the
Contribut or who includes the Program in a commercial produc t of fering
should do so in a ma nner which does not crea te potential liability for
other Contribu tors. Theref ore, if a Contribut or includes the Program in a
commercial product offering, s uch Contributor ("Commercial Contribu-
tor") her eby agrees to defend and indemnify e very other Contributor
("Indemnified Contribut or") against any losses, damages and costs (col-
lectivel y "Losses") arising fr om claims, law suits and other legal actions
brought b y a third party against the Indemnified Co ntributor t o the ex-
tent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in
connection with its distribution of the Program in a commer cial product
offering. The oblig ations in this section do no t apply to an y claims or Lo s-
ses relating t o any actual or a lleged intellectual pro per ty infringement. In
order t o qualify , an Indemnified Contributor must: a) pr omptly no tify the
Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Com-
mercial Contributor t o control, and cooperate with the Commercial Con-
tributor in, the defense and an y related se ttlement negotiations. The
Indemnified Contribut or may participate in an y such claim at its own ex-
pense.
Fo r examp l e, a Contri butor might include the Program in a commer cial
product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Con-
tributor . If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
claims, or offe rs warranties rela ted to Pr oduct X, those performance
claims and warranties ar e such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would ha ve to de-
fend claims against the other Contr ibutors relat e d to those performanc e
claims and warran ties, and if a cour t requir es any other Contribut or to
pay an y damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pa y tho se
damages
