"Software" means the RocksDB software distributed by Facebook, Inc.
|
||||
|
||||
Facebook hereby grants you a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free,
|
||||
non-exclusive, irrevocable (subject to the termination provision below)
|
||||
license under any rights in any patent claims owned by Facebook, to make,
|
||||
have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise transfer the
|
||||
Software. For avoidance of doubt, no license is granted under Facebook’s
|
||||
rights in any patent claims that are infringed by (i) modifications to the
|
||||
Software made by you or a third party, or (ii) the Software in combination
|
||||
with any software or other technology provided by you or a third party.
|
||||
Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") hereby grants to each recipient of the Software
|
||||
("you") a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable
|
||||
(subject to the termination provision below) license under any Necessary
|
||||
Claims, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise
|
||||
transfer the Software. For avoidance of doubt, no license is granted under
|
||||
Facebook’s rights in any patent claims that are infringed by (i) modifications
|
||||
to the Software made by you or any third party or (ii) the Software in
|
||||
combination with any software or other technology.
|
||||
|
||||
The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without
|
||||
notice, for anyone that makes any claim (including by filing any lawsuit,
|
||||
assertion or other action) alleging (a) direct, indirect, or contributory
|
||||
infringement or inducement to infringe any patent: (i) by Facebook or any
|
||||
of its subsidiaries or affiliates, whether or not such claim is related
|
||||
to the Software, (ii) by any party if such claim arises in whole or in
|
||||
part from any software, product or service of Facebook or any of its
|
||||
subsidiaries or affiliates, whether or not such claim is related to the
|
||||
Software, or (iii) by any party relating to the Software; or (b) that
|
||||
any right in any patent claim of Facebook is invalid or unenforceable.
|
||||
The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice,
|
||||
if you (or any of your subsidiaries, corporate affiliates or agents) initiate
|
||||
directly or indirectly, or take a direct financial interest in, any Patent
|
||||
Assertion: (i) against Facebook or any of its subsidiaries or corporate
|
||||
affiliates, (ii) against any party if such Patent Assertion arises in whole or
|
||||
in part from any software, technology, product or service of Facebook or any of
|
||||
its subsidiaries or corporate affiliates, or (iii) against any party relating
|
||||
to the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Facebook or any of its
|
||||
subsidiaries or corporate affiliates files a lawsuit alleging patent
|
||||
infringement against you in the first instance, and you respond by filing a
|
||||
patent infringement counterclaim in that lawsuit against that party that is
|
||||
unrelated to the Software, the license granted hereunder will not terminate
|
||||
under section (i) of this paragraph due to such counterclaim.
|
||||
|
||||
A "Necessary Claim" is a claim of a patent owned by Facebook that is
|
||||
necessarily infringed by the Software standing alone.
|
||||
|
||||
A "Patent Assertion" is any lawsuit or other action alleging direct, indirect,
|
||||
or contributory infringement or inducement to infringe any patent, including a
|
||||
cross-claim or counterclaim.
