<h1 align='center'>GNOME FOUNDATION</h1>
<h1 align='center'>LICENSE AGREEMENT</h1>
<p>
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.
</p>
<ol type='1'>
<li><u>Trademark License</u>
<ol type='a'>
<li>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”.</li>
<li>
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.
</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>In using the Licensed Marks solely for the above-described purposes, without Gnome’s express
written permission neither the Group nor its members shall:
<ol type='i'>
<li> state or in any way imply that they speak for, act on behalf of, or represent GNOME;</li>
<li> 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;</li>
<li> use the trademark “GNOME” or any other trademark owned by GNOME in their
URL or domain name; or</li>
<li> use any trademark owned by GNOME other than the Licensed Marks.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><u>Copyright License</u>
<ol type='a'>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><u>Legal Notices</u>
<ol type='a'>
<li><u>Trademark Notices</u>. The following legal notices must appear in connection with all uses of the
Licensed Marks:<br/>
“GNOME and the GNOME logo(s) are trademarks or registered trademarks of GNOME Foundation in the
U.S.A. or other countries.”<br/>
“[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.”</li>
<li><u>Copyright Notices</u>. 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.”</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li><u>Ownership Rights</u> . 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.
</li>
<li><u>User Group Compliance</u> . 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.</li>
<li><u>Termination</u>. 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.</li>
<li><u>Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability</u>. 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.</u>

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</li>
<li><u>Miscellaneous</u>. This License is governed by the laws of the State of Massachusetts without reference to
conflict of law principles, and the Group consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts located
in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, and hereby waives any objection to such forum. 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. GNOME shall not be bound by any additional provisions that
may appear in any communication from the Group or its members. This License may only be modified by
mutual written agreement or by written notice from GNOME to the Group of any changes to GNOME’s
licensing policies. The License granted hereunder is personal to the Group may not be assigned or
transferred to any third party by any act of Licensee or by operation of law or otherwise. Subject to the
foregoing, this License inures to the benefit of the parties and their permitted successors and assigns. If
any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License, and without further action by the parties
hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and
enforceable. No term or provision hereof shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless such
