|
|---|
| 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>

|

| 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>
