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

disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity

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

|
|
<P><FONT size=2>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.</FONT>
|
|
<P><FONT size=2></FONT>
|
|
<P><FONT size=2>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.</FONT>
