Cisco Cisco Prime Home 2.4 Licensing Information

1. DEFINITIONS     

    

"Contribution" means:     

    

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and     

b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:     

    

i) changes to the Program, and     

    

ii) additions to the Program;     

    

where such changes and/or additions to the Program 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 any person or entity that distributes the Program.     

    

"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or

sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.     

    

"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.     

    

"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,

distribute and sublicense 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. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.     

    

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.
