122 While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program,
|
|
|
123 the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should
|
|
|
124 do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other
|
|
|
125 Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial
|
|
|
126 product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to
|
|
|
127 defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against
|
|
|
128 any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims,
|
|
|
129 lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the
|
|
|
130 Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such
|
|
|
131 Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a
|
|
|
132 commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any
|
|
|
133 claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property
|
|
|
134 infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly
|
|
|
135 notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the
|
|
|
136 Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor
|
|
|
137 in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified
|
|
|
138 Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.</FONT>

142 Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or
|
|

143 offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties
|
|

144 are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the

145 Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other

146 Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court
|
|

147 requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial

|
148 Contributor must pay those damages.</FONT>
