Additional Grant of Patent Rights | ||
Additional Grant of Patent Rights Version 2 | ||
|
||
“Software” means the rocksdb software distributed by Facebook, Inc. | ||
"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. |
