Additional IP Rights Grant (Patents)
|
|
|
|
"This implementation" means the copyrightable works distributed by
|
|
Google as part of the Go project.
|
|
|
|
Google hereby grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
|
|
no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as stated in this section)
|
|
patent license to make, have made, use, offer to sell, sell, import,
|
|
transfer and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of this
|
|
implementation of Go, where such license applies only to those patent
|
|
claims, both currently owned or controlled by Google and acquired in
|
|
the future, licensable by Google that are necessarily infringed by this
|
|
implementation of Go. This grant does not include claims that would be
|
|
infringed only as a consequence of further modification of this
|
|
implementation. If you or your agent or exclusive licensee institute or
|
|
order or agree to the institution of patent litigation against any
|
|
entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
|
|
that this implementation of Go or any code incorporated within this
|
|
implementation of Go constitutes direct or contributory patent
|
|
infringement, or inducement of patent infringement, then any patent
|
|
rights granted to you under this License for this implementation of Go
|
|
shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
