Microsoft Patent Promise for Mono
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Microsoft Corporation and its affiliates (“Microsoft”) promise not to
|
|||
|
|
assert any Applicable Patents against you for making, using, selling,
|
|||
|
|
offering for sale, importing, or distributing Mono.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you file, maintain, or voluntarily participate in any claim in a
|
|||
|
|
lawsuit alleging direct or contributory patent infringement by Mono,
|
|||
|
|
or inducement of patent infringement by Mono, then your rights under
|
|||
|
|
this promise will automatically terminate.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This promise is not an assurance that (i) any Applicable Patents are
|
|||
|
|
valid or enforceable or (ii) Mono does not infringe patents or other
|
|||
|
|
intellectual property rights of any third party. No rights except
|
|||
|
|
those expressly stated in this promise are granted, waived or received
|
|||
|
|
by Microsoft, whether by implication, exhaustion, estoppel or
|
|||
|
|
otherwise. This is a personal promise directly from Microsoft to you,
|
|||
|
|
and you agree as a condition of benefitting from it that no Microsoft
|
|||
|
|
rights are received from suppliers, distributors, or otherwise in
|
|||
|
|
connection with this promise.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Definitions:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Mono” means those portions of the software development technology, as
|
|||
|
|
originally distributed by Xamarin, Inc. or the .NET Foundation under
|
|||
|
|
the name “Mono,” that implement .NET Framework Functionality, provided
|
|||
|
|
that such portions at a minimum implement all of the required parts of
|
|||
|
|
the mandatory provisions of Standard ECMA-335 – Common Language
|
|||
|
|
Infrastructure (CLI).
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“.NET Framework Functionality” means any functionality in Microsoft’s
|
|||
|
|
.NET Framework as described in Microsoft’s API documentation on
|
|||
|
|
Microsoft’s MSDN website, including the functionality in
|
|||
|
|
Windowsbase.dll, but excluding all other functionality in the Windows
|
|||
|
|
Presentation Foundation component of .NET Framework.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Applicable Patents” are those patent claims, currently owned by
|
|||
|
|
Microsoft and acquired in the future, that are necessarily infringed
|
|||
|
|
by Mono. For clarity, Applicable Patents do not include any patent
|
|||
|
|
claims that are infringed (x) by any underlying or enabling technology
|
|||
|
|
that may be used, combined, or distributed in connection with Mono
|
|||
|
|
(such as hardware, operating systems, or applications that run on
|
|||
|
|
Mono), (y) only as a consequence of modification of Mono, or (z) only
|
|||
|
|
by the combination of Mono with third party code.
