Cisco Cisco IPICS Release 2.1 Licensing Information

THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED

HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

 

7. GENERAL

 

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or

enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such

provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

 

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software

(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such

Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient

institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the

Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's

patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is

filed.

 

All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or

conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of

such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and

distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this

Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

 

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the

Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the

right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the

Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign

the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the

Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be

distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of

the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the

new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to

the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or

otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

 

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United

States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year

after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
