Distribution Obligations.
-
3.1.
Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source
Code version of Governed Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a
future version of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this
License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any
terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document
offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.
-
3.2.
Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as
an Executable Code version or via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you
made an Executable Code version available; and if made available via an Electronic
Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date
it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that
particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution
Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
-
3.3.
Description of Modifications. You must cause all Governed Code to which you contribute to contain
a file documenting the changes You made to create that Governed Code and the date of any
change. You must include a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or
indirectly, from Original Code provided by RSV and including the name of RSV in (a) the Source
Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable Code version or related documentation in which
You describe the origin or ownership of the Governed Code.
-
3.4.
Intellectual Property Matters.
-
3.4.1.
Third Party Claims. If You have knowledge that a party claims an intellectual property
right in particular functionality or code (or its utilization under this License), you must
include a text file with the source code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim
and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to
contact. If you obtain such knowledge after You make Your Modification available as described
in Section 3.2, You shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies You make available
thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying RSV and appropriate mailing lists or
newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Governed Code that new
knowledge has been obtained. In the event that You are a Contributor, You represent that,
except as disclosed in the LEGAL file, your Modifications are your original creations and, to
the best of your knowledge, no third party has any claim (including but not limited to
intellectual property claims) relating to your Modifications. You represent that the LEGAL
file includes complete details of any license or other restriction associated with any part of
your Modifications.
-
3.4.2.
Contributor APIs. If Your Modification is an application programming interface and You own
or control patents which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, you must also include
this information in the LEGAL file.
-
3.5.
Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code, and
this License in any documentation for the Source Code, where You describe recipients' rights
relating to Governed Code. If You created one or more Modification(s), You may add your name
as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. If it is not possible to put such
notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then you must include such
notice in a location (such as a relevant directory file) where a user would be likely to look
for such a notice. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Governed Code. However, You
may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of RSV or any Contributor. You must make
it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is
offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify RSV and every Contributor for any
liability incurred by RSV or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
liability terms You offer.
-
3.6.
Distribution of Executable Code Versions. You may distribute Governed Code in Executable Code
form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Governed Code, and if
You include a prominent notice stating that the Source Code version of the Governed Code is
available under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where You have
fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any
notice in an Executable Code version, related documentation or collateral in which You
describe recipients' rights relating to the Governed Code. You may distribute the Executable
Code version of Governed Code under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms
different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this
License and that the license for the Executable Code version does not attempt to limit or
alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
License. If You distribute the Executable Code version under a different license You must make
it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone,
not by RSV or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify RSV and every Contributor for any
liability incurred by RSV or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
-
3.7.
Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Governed Code with other code not
governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In
such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the
Governed Code.
-
4.
Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of theterms of this License with respect to
some or all of the Governed Code due to statute or regulation then You must: (a)
comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe
the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be included in the
LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the
Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such
description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able
to understand it.
-
5.
Trademark Usage.
-
5.1.
Advertising Materials. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of the Governed Code
must display the following acknowledgement: "This product includes software developed by Ricoh
Silicon Valley, Inc."
-
5.2.
Endorsements. The names "Ricoh," "Ricoh Silicon Valley," and "RSV" must not be used to endorse or
promote Contributor Versions or Larger Works without the prior written permission of RSV.
-
5.3.
Product Names. Contributor Versions and Larger Works may not be called "Ricoh" nor may the word
"Ricoh" appear in their names without the prior written permission of RSV.
-
6.
Versions of the License.
-
6.1.
New Versions. RSV may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each
version will be given a distinguishing version number.
-
6.2.
Effect of New Versions. Once Governed Code has been published under a particular version of the
License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also
choose to use such Governed Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License
published by RSV. No one other than RSV has the right to modify the terms applicable to
Governed Code created under this License.
-
7.
Disclaimer of Warranty.
GOVERNED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE
GOVERNED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE GOVERNED CODE
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY GOVERNED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT RSV OR
ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE.
NO USE OF ANY GOVERNED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
8.
Termination.
-
8.1.
This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply
with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
All sublicenses to the Governed Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination
of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
termination of this License shall survive.
-
8.2.
If You initiate patent infringement litigation against RSV or a Contributor (RSV or the
Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging
that:
-
(a)
such Participant's Original Code or Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any
patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or
2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay
Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of the
Original Code or the Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation
claim with respect to the Original Code or the Contributor Version against such Participant.
If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually
agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights
granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the
expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.
-
(b)
any software, hardware, or device provided to You by the Participant, other than such
Participant's Original Code or Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any
patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b)
are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made,
Original Code or the Modifications made by that Participant.
-
8.3.
If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's
Original Code or Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such
claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such Participant
under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of
any payment or license.
-
8.4.
In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements
(excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any
distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.
-
9.
Limitation of Liability.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE),
CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL RSV, ANY CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF GOVERNED
CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR
ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER
FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF
SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THAT EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY EXCLUSION OF DAMAGES ABOVE IS NOT VALID, YOU AGREE THAT IN NO
EVENT WILL RSV'S LIABILITY UNDER OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($5,000). THE GOVERNED CODE IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY
NUCLER, AVIATION, MASS TRANSIT OR MEDICAL APPLICATION OR ANY OTHER INHERENTLY
DANGEROUS APPLICATION THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE
OR MASS DESTRUCTION, AND YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER RSV NOR ANY CONTRIBUTOR SHALL HAVE ANY
LIABILITY OF ANY NATURE AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH USE OF THE GOVERNED CODE.
-
10.
U.S. Government End Users.
The Governed Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct.
1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software
documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent
with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
U.S. Government End Users acquire Governed Code with only those rights set forth
herein.
-
11.
Miscellaneous.
This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any
provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be
reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be
governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The parties submit to
personal jurisdiction in California and further agree that any cause of action arising
under or related to this Agreement shall be brought in the Federal Courts of the
Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California.
The losing party shall be responsible for costs, including without limitation, court
costs and reasonable attorney's fees and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, RSV may seek injunctive relief related to a breach of this Agreement
in any court of competent jurisdiction. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any
law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
against the drafter shall not apply to this License.
-
12.
Responsibility for Claims.
Except in cases where another Contributor has failed to comply with Section 3.4, You are responsible for
damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of Your utilization of rights under this License, based
on the number of copies of Governed Code you made available, the revenues you received from utilizing
such rights, and other relevant factors. You agree to work with affected parties to distribute
responsibility on an equitable basis.
