"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. |
