2. Use Definition

2.1 Authorization of Usage

Licensee acknowledges that Unified Automation is the sole owner of all rights in the Software and in all of the know-how pertaining to this Software except those described in Appendix A. It shall forbear to attack the rights of Unified Automation, unless Unified Automation asserts such rights against Licensee or Licensee attacks a patent or patent application (or similar, patent-related rights such as utility models) of Unified Automation. It will adequately inform third parties of Unified Automation's ownership of those rights.

Licensee shall only be granted a limited right of usage to the extent to which it is absolutely necessary for the purposes of this agreement. The provisions following hereunder are characterizations of this principle and shall be narrowly construed in cases of doubt. Unified Automation's copyright of the Software shall not be exhausted by this agreement. Nothing in this provision shall be construed in a way as to prevent Licensee from defending its rights in case Unified Automation infringes Licensee patents, trademarks or copyrights, or misappropriates Licensee's trade secrets.

For the developer license granted under Section 1.3 and/or 1.4 and/or 1.5 above, the authorization of use encloses the "active development", which is the intellectual process of writing code that uses the Software, including but not limited to programming against the Software's interfaces and compiling and/or linking the Software's libraries. E.g. an automated buildbot would compile the Software, but would not use it in the scope of "active development" and hence does not require a developer license.

The Software may not be leased, assigned, or sublicensed, in whole or in part if and to the extent not expressly permitted in Section 1 ("Grant of License") above. You may not make accessible the Software to third parties and you must make sure that no one except your authorized Licensee has access to the computer(s) where the Software is installed.

2.2 Transfer of Use Authorization

On written request by Licensee and upon prior authorization by Unified Automation, Licensee may transfer the developer license granted under Section 1.3 and/or 1.4 above permanently to another developer or temporarily to an external subcontractor. Licensee's request must indicate the name, email address and full company postal address of the new developer and the reason for the requested transfer. Only temporarily and for a particular contracted development project, for the development of a component or product of the Licensee, the Licensee is allowed to give external participant - of this particular development project - access to the software. The Licensee must insure that the external development partner is following all rules of the SLA and that the development partner is not using the software for any other purpose than this particular development project with the licensee. The rights of the recent developer to use the Software cease upon Unified Automation's consent to the transfer. Unified Automation remains the right to refuse such transfer for good cause. The written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, i.e. transferring to a direct competitor of Unified Automation causes reasonable refuse.

On written request by Licensee and upon prior authorization by Unified Automation, Licensee may change the registered name and OPC UA Product URI of the end user product the license granted under Section 1.5 was originally purchased for. On such transfer the license granted under Section 1.5 above is permanently assigned to the new end user products name and OPC UA Product URI. The development rights and the distribution allowance of the recent end user product containing the Software cease upon Unified Automation's consent to the transfer. Unified Automation remains the right to refuse such transfer for good cause. The written consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, i.e. transferring / renaming to an already registered name or insufficient uniqueness of OPC UA Product URI causes reasonable refuse.

2.3 Scope of Usage

The Software is "in use" on a computer when it is loaded into temporary memory (i.e. RAM) or installed into permanent memory (e.g. hard disk, CD-ROM, or other storage device) of that computer, except that a copy installed on a network server for the sole purpose of distribution to other computers (e.g. source code repository) is not "in use".

3. Restrictions

All further liability shall be excluded.

The Software or the use of the Software may be subject to regulatory provisions related to products used in the Health Care Industry. Prior to using the Software, it is Licensee's responsibility to ensure that Licensee's use of the Software will not violate any legal or regulatory provisions nor deviate from the conditions intended for the use of the Software as explained in the user documentation.

7. Indemnification

You expressly acknowledge and agree that although Unified Automation grants the licenses to their Software set forth herein, no assurances are provided by Unified Automation that certain configuration of the Software or the use for a specific purpose does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Unified Automation disclaims any liability to you for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, you hereby assume sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow you to use the Software for a certain purpose or specific use case, it is your responsibility to acquire that license before distributing or using the Software.

If notified promptly in writing of any action (and provided that Unified Automation has been promptly notified of all prior claims relating to such action) brought against Licensee based on a claim that the unaltered release of the Software infringes a third party patent or copyright, Unified Automation shall, upon request of Licensee, defend such action at its expense including attorneys' fees and expert fees and pay any costs or damages finally awarded in such action which are attributable to such claim, provided that Unified Automation shall have sole control of the defense of any such action and of all negotiations for its settlement or compromise. United Automation shall not be obliged to defend such action if the infringement is based on a prior version of the Software, the infringement has been fixed in the current version and Unified Automation has offered a free-of-charge update to Licensee before the claim arose.

If a final injunction is obtained against Licensee of any of the Software by reason of infringement of a patent or copyright, or if in Unified Automation's opinion any of the Software supplied to Licensee hereunder is likely to become the subject of a successful claim of infringement of a patent or copyright, Unified Automation shall, at its option and expense, either procure for Licensee the right to continue using such Software or replace or modify the same so that it becomes non-infringing or, if neither of the above options is commercially reasonable, Unified Automation will grant Licensee a full refund for such Software and accept their return. All rights of Licensee under the license granted according to this Agreement shall cease upon the return of the Software.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Unified Automation shall not have any liability to Licensee under this Section if the infringement or claim is based upon the use of any of the Software in combination with other equipment or software which is not furnished by Unified Automation (if such claim would have been avoided in case the Software was not in such combination, including but not limited to the combination with Third-Party components listed in Appendix A), Software which have been modified or altered by Licensee if the Software would not infringe but for the modification or alteration or intellectual property rights owned by Licensee, the relevant Customer or any of their respective affiliate.

Nothing in the forgoing shall prevent the Licensee at its option and expense to defend itself against claims brought against his end user products that are based on or make use of the Software independent of a certain use case of such end user products or to procure the respective rights or to replace or modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing.

8. Termination

The license shall be for a period commencing upon the date of initial download or delivery of the Software and continuing until such time this agreement is terminated in accordance with this agreement, but otherwise without limitation as to duration.

Unified Automation shall have the right to terminate this agreement if Licensee fails to pay any required license fee(s) or otherwise fails to comply with the license terms and conditions described in Section 1. Unified Automation shall give written notice to Licensee of such fault, and if such fault has not been remedied within thirty (30) days after, the license granted hereunder shall terminate.

On termination Licensee loses the rights granted in section 1 and 2 and is not allowed to actively develop new products nor enhance existing products or otherwise make use of or install the Software. On termination of license grant 1.5 (Product Development & Distribution License) additionally the right to distribute your end-user product containing the Software ceases on the date of termination.

After cancellation or termination you may only use the Software minimal required for the purpose of support and bug fix of end user that were already sold to customers at the time of cancellation or termination. If requested, License will certify in writing as to the destruction or return of the Software and all copies in its possession.

Each party's right to terminate the agreement for due cause according to the statutory provisions remains unaffected.

9. Publicity

In the event that licensee has obtained a developer license, runtime license or source code license, Unified Automation reserves the right to reference Licensee as one of Unified Automation's customers by mentioning Licensee's company name in documents such as, but not limited to, web pages of Unified Automation's website, emails originating from Unified Automation's employees, publicity brochures and fact sheets, unless explicitly stated otherwise by Licensee. In no event shall Unified Automation publish any other information about Licensee other than the single fact that Licensee is a customer of Unified Automation.

10. Entire Agreement

11. Export Control

Licensee acknowledges that the licensed Software may be subject to export control restrictions of various countries. Licensee shall fully comply with all applicable export license restrictions and requirements as well as with all laws and regulations relating to the importation of the licensed Software and/or modified Software and/or applications and shall procure all necessary governmental authorizations, including without limitation, all necessary licenses, approvals, permissions or consents, where necessary for the re-exportation of the licensed Software, modified Software or applications.

12. No Implied License

There are no implied licenses or other implied rights granted under this Agreement, and all rights, save for those expressly granted hereunder, shall remain with Unified Automation and its licensors. In addition, no licenses or immunities are granted to the combination of the licensed Software and/ modified Software, as applicable, with any other software or hardware not delivered by Unified Automation under this Agreement.

13. Surviving Sections

Any terms and conditions that by their nature or otherwise reasonably should survive a cancellation or termination of this Agreement shall also be deemed to survive. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to the following Sections: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 2 shall not survive if the Agreement is terminated for material breach.

On termination the Licensee loses the rights granted in section 1 and 2 and is not allowed to actively develop new products nor enhance existing products. Exception: Section 2 shall survive for the purpose minimal required for the purpose of support and bug fix of end user products of the Licensee that were already sold to customers at the time of cancellation or termination.

14. Severability

If any of the above provisions are held to be in violation of applicable law, void, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, then such provisions are herewith waived or amended to the extent necessary for the Agreement to be otherwise enforceable in such jurisdiction. However, if in Unified Automation's opinion deletion or amendment of any provisions of the Agreement by operation of this paragraph unreasonably compromises the rights or increase the liabilities of Unified Automation or its licensors, Unified Automation reserves the right to terminate the Agreement.

6 OPC UA JAVA Stack

This component includes software that was developed by the OPC Foundation (http://www.opcfoundation.org/). The OPC UA JAVA Stack, contains of three modules which are different in licensing:

6.1 OPC UA JAVA Stack

This product includes software that was developed by the OPC Foundation (http://www.opcfoundation.org/).
This module is released under the RCL License and includes following copyright notice, except where otherwise noted in the source code all the files are:

6.1.1 Copyright

Copyright (c) 2005-2009 The OPC Foundation, Inc. All rights reserved.

6.1.2 License Issues

Unless explicitly acquired and licensed from Licensor under another license, the contents of this file are subject to the Reciprocal Community License ("RCL") Version 1.00, or subsequent versions as allowed by the RCL, and You may not copy or use this file in either source code or executable form, except in compliance with the terms and conditions of the RCL.

See the RCL for specific language governing rights and limitations under the RCL.

6.1.3 License in Short

The JAVA Stack stays under the Reciprocal Community License (RCL) which is based on the concept of reciprocity or, if you prefer, fairness.

The RCL is adapted from the Open Source Reciprocal Public License (RPL) where the "Public" in the Open Source RPL license is replaced by the "Community" in the RCL License. In short, the RPL license grew out of a desire to close loopholes in previous open source licenses, loopholes that allowed parties to acquire open source software and derive financial benefit from it without having to release their improvements or derivatives to the community which enabled them. This occurred any time an entity did not release their application to a "third party". While there is a certain freedom in this model of licensing, it struck the authors of the RPL as being unfair to the open source community at large and to the original authors of the works in particular. After all, bug fixes, extensions, and meaningful and valuable derivatives were not consistently faster, growth and expansion of the overall open source software base.

While you should clearly read and understand the entire license, the essence of the RCL is found in two definitions: "Deploy" and "Required Components".
