-Eclipse Public License, Version 1.0 (EPL-1.0)
-
-THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE PUBLIC
-LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM
-CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
-
-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.
-
-    d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
-       copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
-       license set forth in this Agreement.
-
-3. REQUIREMENTS
-
-A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under
-its own license agreement, provided that:
-
-    a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
-
-    b) its license agreement:
-
-        i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
-        and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or
-        conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or
-        conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
-
-        ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
-        for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and
-        consequential damages, such as lost profits;
-
-        iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are
-        offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
-
-        iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
-        Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable
-        manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
-
-When the Program is made available in source code form:
-
-    a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
-    b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
-
-Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
-within the Program.
-
-Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution,
-if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to
-identify the originator of the Contribution.
-
-4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
-
-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.
-
-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.
-
-5. NO WARRANTY
-
-EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN
-"AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR
-IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE,
-NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
-Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of
-using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its
-exercise of rights under this Agreement , including but not limited to the
-risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to
-or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability
-or interruption of operations.
-
-6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
-
-EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY
-CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL,
-SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION
-LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN
-CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE)
-ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF 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 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. The Eclipse Foundation is the initial
-Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation 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.
