-
-2.7 RECIPIENT UNDERSTANDS THAT ALTHOUGH EACH CONTRIBUTOR
-GRANTS THE LICENSES TO ITS CONTRIBUTIONS SET FORTH HEREIN, NO
-ASSURANCES ARE PROVIDED BY ANY CONTRIBUTOR THAT THE
-CONTRIBUTION ALONE OR IN COMBINATION WITH 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. In addition, 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.
-
-3. DESCRIPTION AND DEPOSIT OF CONTRIBUTIONS
-
- 3.1 To the extent Recipient wishes to become a Contributor by making a
- Contribution, such Contributor shall:
-

- completing a Contribution Questionnaire with respect to such Contribution,
- and (iii) delivering both documents to OSCI. All Contributions made after
- the date hereof shall be effectuated by Contributor (x) amending Exhibit B
- and delivering such amended Exhibit B to OSCI, which amended exhibit
- shall automatically replace the existing Exhibit B, (y) competing a
- Contribution Questionnaire with respect to such Contribution, and (z)
- delivering both documents to OSCI;
-
- (c) cause such Contribution to contain a file documenting such
- Contributor's name and contact information, additions or changes such
- Contributor made to create the Contribution, and the date of any such
- changes or additions;
-
- (d) cause such Contribution to include in each file a prominent
- statement substantially similar to the following: "The following code is
- derived, directly or indirectly, from the SystemC source code Copyright (c)
- 1996-{date here} by all Contributors. All Rights reserved. The contents of
- this file are subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth in the
- SystemC Open Source License Version 2.3 (the "License"). You may not
- use this file except in compliance with such restrictions and limitations.
- You may obtain instructions on how to receive a copy of the License at
- http://www.systemc.org/. Software distributed by Contributors under the
- License is distributed exclusively on an "AS IS" basis, WITHOUT
- WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. See the License
- for the specific language governing rights and limitations under the
- License."; and
- (e) cause such Contribution to include a text file titled "LEGAL" which
- describes any intellectual property rights of which Contributor is aware that
- it or any third party may hold in the functionality or code of such
- Contribution.
-
- 3.2 OSCI or the administrators of the http://www.systemc.org/ web site shall
- have the right to authorize removal from such site any Contribution at any time.
-
-4. REQUIREMENTS OF DISTRIBUTION
-
- 4.1 A Recipient may choose to Distribute the Program in object code form
- under its own license agreement, provided that:
-
- (a) Recipient complies with the terms and conditions of this
- Agreement; and
-
- (b) the terms and conditions of Recipient's license agreement with its
- licensees:
-
- i. effectively disclaim 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;
-
- ii. effectively exclude on behalf of all Contributors all liability for
- damages, including, but not limited to, direct, indirect, special,
- incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
-
- iii. state that any provisions which differ from this Agreement
- are offered by that Recipient alone and not by any other party; and
-
- iv. state that source code for the Program is available from such
- Recipient, and inform licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable
- manner on or through a medium customarily used for software
- exchange.
-
- 4.2 If a Recipient chooses to Distribute the Program in source code form then:
-
- (a) the Program must be Distributed under this Agreement; and
-
- (b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
- Program.
-
- 4.3 Each Recipient must include the following in a conspicuous location in the
- Program so Distributed or transferred:
- Copyright (c) 1996-{date here}, by all Contributors. All rights
- reserved.
-
- 4.4 In addition, each Recipient that creates and Distributes or otherwise
- transfers a Modification whether or not such Modification has been deposited
- pursuant to Section 3 must identify the originator of such Modification in a
- manner that reasonably allows third parties to identify the originator of the
- Modification.
-
-5. INDEMNIFICATION
-
-A Recipient who Distributes the Program (a "Distributor") 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, a Distributor shall
-Distribute the Program in a manner which does not create potential liability for
-Contributors. Therefore each Distributor hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every
-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 Distributor, including but not limited to the terms and conditions under
-which Distributor offered the Program, in connection with its Distribution of the Program.
-The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any
-actual or alleged intellectual property infringement of the Program. In order to qualify,
-an Indemnified Contributor must: (a) promptly notify the Distributor in writing of such
-claim, and (b) allow the Distributor to control, and cooperate with the Distributor in, the
-defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may
-participate in the defense of any such claim at its own expense.
-
-For example, a Recipient might include the Program in a commercial product offering,
-Product X. That Recipient is then a Distributor. If that Distributor then makes
-performance claims, or offers warranties, support, or indemnity or any other license
-terms related to Product X, those performance claims, offers and other terms are such
-Distributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Distributor would have to
-defend claims against the Contributors related to those performance claims, offers, and
-other terms, and if a court requires any Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the
-Distributor must pay those damages.
-
-6. NO WARRANTY
-
-EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
-PROVIDED EXCLUSIVELY 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 ITS USE AND
-DISTRIBUTION OF 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. THIS DISCLAIMER OR
-WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT. NO USE OF
-THE PROGRAM OR ANY MODIFICATIONS THERETO ARE AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER
-EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
-
-7. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
-
-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.
-
-8. U.S. GOVERNMENT USE
-
-If Recipient is licensing the Program on behalf of any unit or agency of the United States
-Government, then the Program and any related documentation is commercial computer
-software, and, pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202 and their successors, as
-applicable, shall be licensed to the Government under the terms and conditions of this
-Agreement.
-
-9. PATENT CLAIMS
-
-If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim,
-counterclaim or declaratory judgment claim 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 the rights granted to Recipient by each Contributor under
-Section 2.2 shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-10. TERMINATION
-
-All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if Recipient 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
-such occurs, Recipient shall cease use and Distribution of the Program based upon the
-rights granted to Recipient under this Agreement as soon as reasonably practicable.
-However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by
-Recipient relating to the Program shall survive such termination.
-
-11. LICENSE VERSIONS
-
-OSCI may publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to
-time. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number.
-The Program 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 under the new version. No one other
-than OSCI, acting by a vote of at least 75% of the members of its Board of Directors,
-has the right to modify this Agreement; provided that Exhibit B and Exhibit C may be
-amended as specifically set forth in Section 3.1(b), and Exhibit D may be amended as
-specifically set forth in Section 1.10.
-
-12. ELECTRONIC ACCEPTANCE
-
-This Agreement may be executed either electronically or on paper. By clicking on the
-“Accept” button, Recipient warrants that it agrees to all of the terms of this Agreement,
-that Recipient is authorized to enter into this Agreement, and that this Agreement is
-legally binding upon Recipient. If Recipient does not agree to be bound by this
-Agreement, then Recipient shall click the “Decline” button and Recipient shall not
-receive any rights from the Contributors nor shall Recipient download any materials,
-including the Program.
-
-13. GENERAL
-
-This Agreement represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter
-hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or representations, oral or written,
-regarding the subject matter hereof. 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.
-
-This Agreement is governed by the laws of California, without reference to conflict of
-laws principles. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation. Any
-litigation relating to this Agreement shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal
-Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
-California, or the Santa Clara County Superior Court. The application of the United
-Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
-excluded. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed fairly in accordance with
-its terms and no rules of construction for or against either party shall be applied in the
-interpreting this Agreement. Recipient shall not use the Program in violation of local
-and other applicable laws including, but not limited to, the export control laws of the
-United States.

-I. LIST OF MARKS
-
- 1. Open SystemC
-
- 2. Open SystemC Initiative
-
- 3. OSCI, SystemC
-
- 4. SystemC Graphic Logo
-
- 5. All logos that incorporate the foregoing word marks
-
-
-II. PROPER USE OF MARKS
-
-Trademarks and service marks function as adjectives and generally should not be used as
-nouns or verbs. Accordingly, as often as possible, the Marks should be used as adjectives
-immediately preceding the generic noun that refers to the service in question. For example:
-
- The SystemC™ software
- The SystemC™ LRM
-
-No Possessives or Plurals. Since they are not nouns, the Marks should never be used in the
-possessive or plural forms. For example, it is not appropriate to write “SystemC’s software.”
-
-No Use as Verbs or as Puns. The Marks should never be used as verbs or as puns.
-
-
-III. PROPER ATTRIBUTION
-
-Trademark ownership is attributed in two ways, with the use of a symbol (TM, SM, ®) after the mark
-and with a legal legend, usually found at the end of a document following the copyright notice.
-Following are OSCI’s rules for symbols and legends to attribute the Marks:
-
-Symbols:
-
-Which Symbol Do I Use?
-The Marks generally function as trademarks rather than servicemarks. Unless you are
-specifically directed otherwise, please use the ™ or ® symbol after the Marks.
-
-Where Do I Place the ® Symbol?
-The ™ or ® symbol is placed immediately after the mark, either in superscript or subscript.
-
-When Do I Use the Symbol?
-The ™ or ® symbol is to be used after the Marks in the following instances:
-
-Most Prominent Uses : A ™ or ® symbol is required after prominent uses of the Marks, e.g., in
-the headlines and large print text of web pages, advertisements, other promotional materials
-and press releases, except where space limitations or specific style considerations prevent
-compliance with this requirement.
-
-First Use in Text: A ™ or ® symbol is required after the first use of each Mark in text, e.g.
-advertising copy or the body of press releases, even though the symbol may have already
-appeared in the headline or after another prominent use of the mark in the same document.
-
-All Logos: The ™ or ® symbol must appear after all logos incorporating the Marks.
-
-
-IV. Legends
-
-All Marks that appear on a web page or in a press release, advertisement or other written
-material (whether in print or electronic form) must be attributed in an appropriate legend. The
-legend may be presented in “mouseprint” but must be large enough to be read easily. Legends
-generally appear at the end of a document or the bottom of a web page but may be placed
-elsewhere, e.g. the inside cover of documentation.
-
-The OSCI Legend: The following legend should be used in all materials in which any of the
-Marks appear:
-
-[Insert the Marks] are trademarks or registered trademarks of Open SystemC Initiative, Inc. in
-the United States and other countries and are used with permission.
-
-
-V. MARKS NEVER COMBINED
-
-The Marks should never be combined with the marks of any business other than OSCI. The
-Marks should always appear visually separate from any other marks appearing in the same
-materials such that each mark creates a distinct commercial impression. It would, for instance,
-not be appropriate to superimpose the logo of another business over any OSCI logo.
-
-
-VI. LOGOS
-
-Logos incorporating the Marks can only be used in the format provided to you by OSCI for
-incorporation into your materials or web pages. The logos provided to you by OSCI cannot be
-modified in any way without OSCI’s prior written approval. Logos copied from OSCI web pages
-or other materials may not to be used. Please contact webmaster@systemc.org to obtain
-electronic files containing the OSCI logos and to ask any questions regarding the logos.
