<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.

|
|
<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 <a href="http://live.gnome.org/LogoGuidelines">http://www.gnome.org</a> 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 <a href="http://live.gnome.org/LogoGuidelines">http://www.gnome.org</a> 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
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnome.org">http://www.gnome.org</a> 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>

|
|
<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.</li>
|
|
<li><u>Permitted Access</u>. 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</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
|
|
waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver or consent.</li>
|
|
<li><u>Privacy Policy</u>. GNOME collects personal information from members of GNOME User Groups.
|
|
GNOME’s privacy policy, which can be found at [http://www.gnome.org], explains GNOME’s collection
|
|
and use of such information. The terms of GNOME’s privacy policy, as it may be updated from time to
|
|
time, are incorporated in and made part of this License.</li>
