Computer Associates Trusted Open Source License
Version 1.0
PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY AND IN ITS ENTIRETY. THE
ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
COMPUTER ASSOCIATES TRUSTED OPEN SOURCE LICENSE ("LICENSE").
ANY USE, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE
PROGRAM CONSTITUTES THE RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS LICENSE.
License Background
Computer Associates International, Inc. (“CA”) believes in open source. We believe that
the open source development approach can take appropriate software programs to
unprecedented levels of quality, growth, and innovation. To demonstrate our continuing
commitment to open source, we are releasing the Program (as defined below) under this
License.
This License is intended to permit contributors and recipients of the Program to use the
Program, including its source code, freely and without many of the concerns of some
other open source licenses. Although we expect the underlying Program, and
Contributions (as defined below) made to such Program, to remain open, this License is
designed to permit you to maintain your own software programs free of this License
unless you choose to do so. Thus, only your Contributions to the Program must be
distributed under the terms of this License.
The provisions that follow set forth the terms and conditions under which you may use
the Program.
1.

DEFINITIONS

1.1

“Contribution” means (a) in the case of CA, the Original Program; and (b) in the
case of each Contributor (including CA), changes and additions to the Program,
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are
distributed by that particular Contributor to unaffiliated third parties. A
Contribution “originates” from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by
such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor’s behalf.
Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (x) are separate
modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own
license agreement, and (y) are not derivative works of the Program.

1.2

“Contributor” means CA and any other person or entity that distributes the
Program.

1.3

“Contributor Version” means as to a Contributor, that version of the Program that
includes the Contributor’s Contribution but not any Contributions made to the
Program thereafter.

1.4

“Larger Work” means a work that combines the Program or portions thereof with
code not governed by the terms of this License.

1.5

“Licensed Patents” mean patents licensable by a Cont ributor that are infringed by
the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

1.6

“Original Program” means the original version of the software to which this
License is attached and as released by CA, including source code, object code and
documentation, if any.

1.7

“Program” means the Original Program and Contributions.

1.8

“Recipient” means anyone who modifies, copies, uses or distributes the Program.

GRANT OF RIGHTS

2.1

Subject to the terms of this License, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient an
irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to reproduce, prepare
derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense
the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source
code and object code form. For the avoidance of doubt, the license provided in
this Section 2.1 shall not include a license to any Licensed Patents of a
Contributor.

2.2

Subject to the terms of this License, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient an
irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty- free license to the Licensed
Patents to the extent necessary to make, use, sell, offer to sell and import the
Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form.
The license granted in this Section 2.2 shall apply to the combination of the
Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the
Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes the Licensed Patents to be
infringed by such combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no license is
granted under this Section 2.2: (a) for any code or works that do not include the
Contributor Version, as it exists and is used in accordance with the terms hereof;
(b) for infringements caused by: (i) third party modifications of the Contributor
Version; or (ii) the combination of Contributions made by each such Contributor
with other software (except as part of the Contributor Version) or other devices;
or (c) with respect to Licensed Patents infringed by the Program in the absence of
Contributions made by that Contributor.

2.3

Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its
Contributions set forth herein, except as provided in Section 2.4, no assurances

-2-

are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or
other intellectual property rights of any other person or entity. Each Contributor
disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other person or
entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. 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.
2.4

Each Cont ributor represents and warrants that it has all right, title and interest in
the copyrights in its Contributions, and has the right to grant the copyright
licenses set forth in this License.

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,
to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law;

included in the code itself as well as in any related documentation, stating that the
source code for the Program is available from the Contributor with information on
how and where to obtain the source code.

3.4

This License is intended to facilitate the commercial distribution of the Program
by any Contributor. However, Contributors may only charge Recipients a onetime, upfront fee for the distribution of the Program. Contributors may not charge
Recipients any recurring charge, license fee, or any ongoing royalty for the
Recipient’s exercise of its rights under this License to the Program. Contributors
shall make the source code for the Contributor Version they distribute available at
a cost, if any, equal to the cost to the Contributor to physically copy and distribute
the work.

3.5

A Contributor may create a Larger Work by combining the Program with other
software code not governed by the terms of this License, and distribute the Larger
Work as a single product. In such a case, the Contributor must make sure that the
requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Program. Any Contributor who
includes the Program in a commercial product offering, including as part of a
Larger Work, may subject itself, but not any other Contributor, to additional
contractual commitments, including, but not limited to, performance warranties
and non- infringement representations on such Contributor’s behalf.
No
Contributor may create any additional liability for other Contributors. Therefore,
if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such
Contributor (“Commercial Contributor”) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify
every other Contributor (“Indemnified Contributor”) who made Contributions to
the Program distributed by the Commercial 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, including any additional contractual
commitments, of such Commercial Contributor 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.

3.6

If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party’s intellectual
property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under
Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must (a) include a text file with the Program
source code distribution titled “../IP_ISSUES”, and (b) notify CA in writing at
Computer Associates International, Inc., One Computer Associates Plaza,
Islandia, New York 11749, Attn: Open Source Group or by email at
opensource@ca.com, both describing the claim and the party making the claim in
sufficient detail that a Recipient and CA will know whom to contact with regard
to such matter. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Contribution is
made available, Contributor shall also promptly modify the IP_ISSUES file in all
copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as
notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform
those who received the Program that such new knowledge has been obtained.

3.7

Recipient shall not remove, obscure, or modify any CA or other Contributor
copyright or patent proprietary notices appearing in the Program, whether in the
source code, object code or in any documentation. In addition to the obligatio ns

-4-

set forth in Section 4, each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to
identify the originator of the Contribution.
