|
119 <P><FONT size=2>Commercial distributors of software may accept certain |
|
120 responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. |
|
121 While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, |
|
122 the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should |
|
123 do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other |
|
124 Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial |
|
125 product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to |
|
126 defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against |
|
127 any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, |
|
128 lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the |
|
129 Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such |
|
130 Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a |
|
131 commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any |
|
132 claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property |
|
133 infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly |
|
134 notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the |
|
135 Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor |
|
136 in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified |
|
137 Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.</FONT> |
|
138 <P><FONT size=2></FONT> |
|
139 <P><FONT size=2>For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a |
|
140 commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial |
|
141 Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or |
|
142 offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties |
|
143 are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the |
|
144 Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other |
|
145 Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court |
|
146 requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial |
|
147 Contributor must pay those damages.</FONT> |
