    %p
      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.
    %p
      %b 1. DEFINITIONS
    %p "Contribution" means:
    %p.list
      a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial
      code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
    %p.list b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
    %p.list i) changes to the Program, and
    %p.list ii) additions to the Program;
    %p.list
      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.
    %p
      "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes
      the Program.
    %p
      "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.
    %p
      "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance
      with this Agreement.
    %p
      "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under
      this Agreement, including all Contributors.
    %p
      %b 2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
    %p.list
      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.
    %p.list
      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.
    %p.list
      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.
    %p.list
      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.
    %p
      %b 3. REQUIREMENTS
    %p
      A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code
      form under its own license agreement, provided that:
    %p.list
      a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this
      Agreement; and
    %p.list b) its license agreement:
    %p.list
      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;
    %p.list
      ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors
      all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special,
      incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
    %p.list
      iii) states that any provisions which differ from this
      Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other
      party; and
    %p.list
      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.
    %p When the Program is made available in source code form:
    %p.list a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
    %p.list
      b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each
      copy of the Program.
    %p
      Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
      within the Program.
    %p
      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.
    %p
      %b 4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
    %p
      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.
    %p
      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.
    %p
      %b 5. NO WARRANTY
    %p
      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.
    %p
      %b 6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
    %p
      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.
    %p
      %b 7. GENERAL
    %p
      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.
    %p
      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.
    %p
      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.
    %p
      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.
    %p
      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.
