LICENSE AGREEMENT

+

+THE FOLLOWING IS A LEGAL AGREEMENT (“LICENSE”) BETWEEN GNOME FOUNDATION (“GNOME”) +AND YOUR GNOME USER GROUP (“GROUP”). BY INDICATING YOUR ACCEPTANCE AND SUBMITTING +THIS LICENSE TO GNOME, THE GROUP AGREES TO BE LEGALLY BOUND BY AND COMPLY WITH THE +TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. COMPLIANCE WITH THIS LICENSE AND WITH GNOME’S USER GROUP +GUIDELINES ARE CONDITIONS TO REMAINING IN GOOD STANDING AS A GNOME USER GROUP AND +TO OBTAINING ANY BENEFITS WHICH MAY BE OFFERED BY GNOME TO RECOGNIZED USER GROUPS. +THE GOAL OF THIS AGREEMENT IS TO BALANCE GNOME’S NEED TO PROTECT ITS IMPORTANT +TRADEMARK RIGHTS WITH GNOME’S DESIRE TO ALLOW VALUED USER GROUPS TO USE CERTAIN +GNOME TRADEMARKS IN CONNECTION WITH WORKING WITH ITS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. +

+
    +
  1. Trademark License +
      +
    1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, GNOME hereby grants the Group a limited, +nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license (i) to use the name “GNOME” as part +of your user group name; (ii) to use a GNOME product name as part of your user group name, if +the Group is focused on the use of such product; and (iii) to display the “GNOME” user group +logo(s) posted at [http://www.gnome.org] in connection with the foregoing, in accordance with +the terms of this License and GNOME’s then-current trademark guidelines applicable to user +groups (“Trademark Guidelines”). The GNOME name, any permitted GNOME product names, +and the GNOME logo(s) posted at [http://www.gnome.org] are referred to collectively as the +“Licensed Marks”.
      2. +
    2. + The Group may not use the Licensed Marks for any commercial purpose whatsoever or in any +manner other than as expressly permitted below. To preserve the value of the Licensed Marks, the +Group’s operations and activities, and the manner in which they are conducted, shall be consistent +with the high standards of quality traditionally associated with GNOME products and services. +All uses of the Licensed Marks must be in accordance with the Trademark Guidelines. GNOME +reserves the right to request a copy of all materials and items that contain the Licensed Marks to +ensure compliance with the terms of this License and the Trademark Guidelines. +
      3. +
    3. The Group may use the Licensed Marks solely in connection with Group activities as described at +[http://www.gnome.org] and in related promotional literature, newsletters, website content, and +other non-commercial communications relating to official Group business.
      4. +
    4. In using the Licensed Marks solely for the above-described purposes, without Gnome’s express +written permission neither the Group nor its members shall: +
        +
      1. state or in any way imply that they speak for, act on behalf of, or represent GNOME;
        2. +
      2. state or in any way imply that GNOME agrees with, endorses, approves, ascribes to, +consents to, or recommends any views or opinions expressed by the Group or any of +its members;
        3. +
      3. use the trademark “GNOME” or any other trademark owned by GNOME in their +URL or domain name; or
        4. +
      4. use any trademark owned by GNOME other than the Licensed Marks.
        5. +
      5. take any other action that might affect the distinctive quality of the Licensed Marks +or adversely affect the reputation of GNOME or its products or services.
        6. +
      +
      5. +
    +
    2. +
  2. Copyright License +
      +
    1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, GNOME hereby grants the Group a limited, + nonexclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license (i) to reproduce and distribute in print + and electronic format the Licensed Works to members of the Group; (ii) to post the Licensed + Works on the Group web site; and (iii) to display the Licensed Works at Group meetings and other + events in which official business of the Group is conducted, or in which members of the Group + represent the Group on official business.
      2. +
    2. The “Licensed Works” includes any newsletters, marketing materials or other copyrightable + works that GNOME may make available to the Group as part of GNOME’s user group program; + provided, however, that computer software and documentation are expressly excluded. Any use + or distribution of computer software and documentation require a separate written license + agreement. In addition, in the event that GNOME notifies the Group of any additional terms or + restrictions relating to the use of any Licensed Work, such additional terms or restrictions will be + deemed to constitute part of this License.
      3. +
    3. You may not modify, create derivative works or make any use of the Licensed Works other than + as expressly permitted by this License; provided that you may modify any invitation materials or + similar announcement templates solely as necessary to update them for use with Group activities, + GNOME may withdraw your right to use any Licensed Work by notifying you that such work + may no longer be used.
      4. +
    +
    3. +
  3. Legal Notices +
      +
    1. Trademark Notices. The following legal notices must appear in connection with all uses of the +Licensed Marks:
      +“GNOME and the GNOME logo(s) are trademarks or registered trademarks of GNOME Foundation in the +U.S.A. or other countries.”
      +“[Group name] is an independent user group that does not speak for, act on behalf of, or represent GNOME +Foundation, nor are its views ascribed to or practices recommended by GNOME Foundation.”
      2. +
    2. Copyright Notices. The copyright notices on the Licensed Works must be reproduced on all +copies thereof and may not be altered, obfuscated or removed. In the event that no copyright notice +appears on any of the Licensed Works, the following legal notices must be reproduced on all copies of +the applicable Licensed Work: “© GNOME Foundation. All rights reserved.”
      3. +
    +
    4. +
  4. Ownership Rights . The Group acknowledges GNOME’s ownership of the Licensed Marks and Licensed +Works, including all modifications and derivative works. The Group acquires no rights relating thereto, +other than the license granted herein, and all uses shall inure to the sole benefit of GNOME. Absent +Gnome’s express written permission, the Group may not use the Licensed Marks or Licensed Works, or any +variations thereof, and may not register a trademark, company name, trade name, domain name or business +identity incorporating the Licensed Marks or any other GNOME trademark or any mark confusingly +similar thereto. In the event that the Group or any member of the Group applies for or registers a domain +name containing any trademark owned by GNOME without Gnome’s permission, the Group will cause +such domain name to be assigned to GNOME at no cost. All rights to any modifications to the Licensed +Works shall be owned by GNOME and are hereby assigned to GNOME. GNOME grants the Group no +other rights in the Licensed Works or Licensed Marks other than set forth herein, and any other use by the +Group may be considered an infringement. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved. +
    5. +
  5. User Group Compliance . The rights granted under this License are conditioned upon the on-going +compliance by the Group, and by each member of the Group, with GNOME’s rules and requirements for +recognized user groups (“User Group Guidelines”). The Group agrees to comply, and will ensure +compliance by each of its members, with this License and with the User Group Guidelines. GNOME’s +User Group Guidelines, which may change from time to time, are posted on GNOME’s web site or may be +otherwise made publicly available or communicated to the Group.
    6. +
  6. Termination. The License is effective upon acceptance and submission by the authorized representative of +the Group, subject to GNOME’s right to verify the Group’s compliance with GNOME’s requirements for +recognition as a user group. This License will continue until terminated. Either party may terminate this +License at any time. Without limiting the foregoing, GNOME reserves the right to immediately terminate +this License at any time if the Group, or any member of the Group, violates the terms of this License or +GNOME’s User Group Guidelines. GNOME, at its sole option, may elect to provide the Group with notice +of any noncompliance and guidance to permit the Group to cure such noncompliance; provided, however, +that granting of any cure period or any waiver shall not restrict GNOME from electing to terminate this +License at any time in its sole discretion. GNOME further reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to +modify the terms of this License and/or the Trademark Guidelines, to withdraw license rights in certain +jurisdictions or with respect to certain marks or works, or to modify or terminate the entire GNOME user +group program or any aspect of it. The Group will have thirty (30) days after notice to conform to the new +changes and/or guidelines unless GNOME notifies the Group of an expedited implementation period. If +this License is terminated, the Group shall immediately cease all use of the Licensed Marks and Licensed +Works and returning all embodiments thereof to GNOME.
    7. +
  7. Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability. THE LICENSE IS GRANTED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT +LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS OR +ACCURACY. IN NO EVENT WILL GNOME BE LIABLE TO THE GROUP OR ANY MEMBER FOR +ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING +OUT OF THIS LICENSE, ON ANY LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF GNOME HAS BEEN ADVISED OF +THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. +
  8. Permitted Access. Upon acceptance of this License, the authorized representative of the Group may +request a copy of the GNOME user group logo(s) and will be placed on any distribution list for any +Licensed Works that may be made available by GNOME to the Group

Any dispute arising +out of or relating to this License will be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Middlesex County, +Massachusetts under the rules of the American Arbitration Association. Notwithstanding the foregoing, +GNOME reserves the right to take action as it may deem appropriate in any court of competent jurisdiction +to protect its intellectual property rights and/or to enforce the terms of this License relating thereto. Each +party waives trial by jury in any action, suit, proceeding, or counterclaim of any kind arising out of or +related to this License. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to +the subject matter hereof. There are no understandings, agreements or representations with respect to the +subject matter hereof not specified herein.
