|

|
3 | "Software" means the Relay software distributed by Facebook, Inc.
|
4 |
|
5 | Facebook, Inc. ("Facebook") hereby grants to each recipient of the Software
|
6 | ("you") a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable
|
7 | (subject to the termination provision below) license under any Necessary
|
8 | Claims, to make, have made, use, sell, offer to sell, import, and otherwise
|
9 | transfer the Software. For avoidance of doubt, no license is granted under
|
10 | Facebook's rights in any patent claims that are infringed by (i) modifications
|
11 | to the Software made by you or any third party or (ii) the Software in
|
12 | combination with any software or other technology.
|
13 |
|
14 | The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice,
|
15 | if you (or any of your subsidiaries, corporate affiliates or agents) initiate
|
16 | directly or indirectly, or take a direct financial interest in, any Patent
|
17 | Assertion: (i) against Facebook or any of its subsidiaries or corporate
|
18 | affiliates, (ii) against any party if such Patent Assertion arises in whole or
|
19 | in part from any software, technology, product or service of Facebook or any of
|
20 | its subsidiaries or corporate affiliates, or (iii) against any party relating
|
21 | to the Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Facebook or any of its
|
22 | subsidiaries or corporate affiliates files a lawsuit alleging patent
|
23 | infringement against you in the first instance, and you respond by filing a
|
24 | patent infringement counterclaim in that lawsuit against that party that is
|
25 | unrelated to the Software, the license granted hereunder will not terminate
|
26 | under section (i) of this paragraph due to such counterclaim.
|
27 |
|
28 | A "Necessary Claim" is a claim of a patent owned by Facebook that is
|
29 | necessarily infringed by the Software standing alone.
|
30 |
|
31 | A "Patent Assertion" is any lawsuit or other action alleging direct, indirect,
|
32 | or contributory infringement or inducement to infringe any patent, including a
|
33 | cross-claim or counterclaim.
