11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who
authorizes use under this License of the
Program or a work on which the Program is
based. The work thus licensed is called the
contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all
patent claims owned or controlled by the
contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by
some manner, permitted by this License, of
making, using, or selling its contributor
version, but do not include claims that would
be infringed only as a consequence of further
modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes
the right to grant patent sublicenses in a
manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free patent license under
the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
otherwise run, modify and propagate the
contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent
license" is any express agreement or
commitment, however denominated, not to
enforce a patent (such as an express
permission to practice a patent or covenant not
to sue for patent infringement). To "grant"
such a patent license to a party means to make
such an agreement or commitment not to
enforce a patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly
relying on a patent license, and the
Corresponding Source of the work is not
available for anyone to copy, free of charge
and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other
readily accessible means, then you must either
(1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of
the benefit of the patent license for this
particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this
License, to extend the patent license to
downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying"
means you have actual knowledge that, but for
the patent license, your conveying the covered
work in a country, or your recipient's use of the
covered work in a country, would infringe one
or more identifiable patents in that country that
you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single
transaction or arrangement, you convey, or
propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to
some of the parties receiving the covered work
authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or
convey a specific copy of the covered work,
then the patent license you grant is
automatically extended to all recipients of the
covered work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does
not include within the scope of its coverage,
prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights
that are specifically granted under this
License. You may not convey a covered work
if you are a party to an arrangement with a
third party that is in the business of distributing
software, under which you make payment to
the third party based on the extent of your
activity of conveying the work, and under
which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in
connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those
copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection
with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered
into that arrangement, or that patent license
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as
excluding or limiting any implied license or
other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable
patent law.
