| ONF Member-Only Software License |
| Version 1.0 |
| June 2020 |
| |
| This ONF Member-Only Software License (this "License") is entered into by and |
| between Open Networking Foundation ("ONF") and you and/or the entity on whose |
| behalf you are accessing the Works (as defined in Section 1 below) ("you"). |
| This License forms a legally binding contract between you and ONF in relation |
| to your access to and use of the Works. You may not access or use the Works if |
| you do not accept this License. |
| |
| By accessing or using the Works, you hereby agree to the terms of this License. |
| You may not use the Works and may not accept this License if you are a person |
| barred from receiving the Works under the laws of the United States or other |
| countries, including the country from which you access or use the Works. If you |
| are agreeing to be bound by this License on behalf of your employer or other |
| entity, you represent and warrant that you have full legal authority to bind |
| your employer or such entity to this License. If you do not have the requisite |
| authority, you may not accept this License or access or use the Works on behalf |
| of your employer or any other entity. You and ONF acknowledge and agree as |
| follows: |
| |
| 1. DEFINITIONS. |
| |
| "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications, including |
| but not limited to software source code, documentation source, and |
| configuration files. |
| |
| "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical transformation or |
| translation of a Source form, including but not limited to compiled object |
| code, generated documentation, and conversions to other media types. |
| |
| "Works" shall mean the works of authorship, whether in Source or Object form, |
| made available under this License, as indicated by a copyright notice/header |
| file that is included in or attached to the Works. |
| |
| 2. BACKGROUND. |
| |
| The purpose of this License is to provide ONF member companies in good standing |
| ("Members") with early access to software projects currently in development by |
| ONF prior to their public release, to allow Members to review and test the |
| Works internally for the purpose of making further contributions to the |
| applicable project. Members who are Partner-level Members at the time they |
| first access the Works are additionally permitted under this License to use the |
| Works internally for the purpose of building and developing products and |
| services for commercial purposes as defined in Section 4. However, this |
| License does not permit any Member, regardless of Member level, to redistribute |
| all or any portion of the Works, except as part of a contribution back to the |
| applicable project, in accordance with Section 8 below, or in binary form as |
| provided for Partner-level Members in Section 4 below. You understand and |
| agree that ONF has the sole right to sublicense and distribute a public version |
| of the final code base for the applicable project to third parties under the |
| 2.0 version of the Apache License, or other permissive license terms selected |
| by ONF in its sole discretion. |
| |
| The Purpose of this License is to incubate the development of new software |
| projects by providing a framework for ONF Members to access and contribute to |
| the projects while minimizing the potential for forking or misuse of the |
| projects. Nothing in this Background paragraph, however, shall require ONF to |
| take any particular course of action regarding any Works covered by this |
| License. |
| |
| 3. LIMITED LICENSE TO ALL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING. |
| |
| Subject to your complete and ongoing compliance with all the terms and |
| conditions set forth in this License, including without limitation all license |
| limitations and restrictions set forth herein, ONF grants you the following |
| limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license |
| to use, and (where applicable) authorize your employees and contractors |
| performing work on your behalf (but only if such contractors are themselves |
| Members of ONF and accept the terms of this License) to use the Works |
| internally solely in connection with (a) reviewing, testing, modifying and |
| creating derivatives of the Works for the sole purpose of making contributions |
| by you to the code repository for the applicable project maintained by ONF; and |
| (b) building, developing and testing your own applications or components that |
| may interoperate with or incorporate the Works ("Applications") for the |
| purposes of internal evaluation only. |
| |
| 4. ADDITIONAL LICENSE TO PARTNER-LEVEL MEMBERS IN GOOD STANDING. |
| |
| Each project subject to this License shall be declared by ONF to be in one of |
| two phases: a) Incubation Phase, or b) Partner Commercialization Phase. Each |
| project shall start in the Incubation Phase, and ONF, at its sole discretion, |
| shall determine when each project moves into the Partner Commercialization |
| Phase. Each project shall be documented to be in one of these two phases in |
| the Project's README documentation and can be confirmed by contacting ONF. |
| |
| Once any project moves into the Partner Commercialization Phase, if you are a |
| Partner-level ONF Member in good standing at the time you first access the |
| Works and for the entire period during which you access and use the Works, in |
| addition to the rights granted in Section 3, and subject to your complete and |
| ongoing compliance with all the terms and conditions set forth in this License, |
| including without limitation all license limitations and restrictions set forth |
| herein, ONF grants you the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, |
| non-sublicensable, revocable license to use, and (where applicable) authorize |
| your employees and contractors performing work on your behalf (but only if such |
| contractors are themselves Members of ONF and accept the terms of this License) |
| to use, test, modify and create derivatives of the Works internally for the |
| purpose of building, developing, testing, marketing, offering for sale and |
| selling commercial products and services to third parties. Wherever possible, |
| you will take reasonable precautions to ensure Works remain accessible only to |
| ONF Members, and any commercial product or service requiring redistribution of |
| the Works, of modifications of the Works or of derivatives of the Works must be |
| made solely in binary machine code form where possible to further this aim. |
| |
| Partners-level Members gaining additional insights as a result of accessing and |
| using the Works for commercial products and services are expected to provide |
| feedback to and to make contributions to the project for the benefit of both |
| the project and the general membership. |
| |
| You may verify your company's Partner-level membership status on the ONF |
| website at: https://www.opennetworking.org/member-listing/. |
| |
| 4.1 GRACE PERIOD FOR NON-PARTNER-LEVEL MEMBERS |
| |
| If you are not a Partner-level Member and you wish to benefit from the rights |
| granted to ONF Partners in Section 4, you have a 90-day grace period from the |
| day you first access the Works to upgrade to a Partner-Level ONF Membership. |
| Should you upgrade within this grace period, you will be recognized as if you |
| had been a Partner on the day you first accessed the Works for the purpose of |
| interpreting your rights under Section 4. |
| |
| 5. RESTRICTIONS. |

| and/or the entity on whose behalf you are accessing the Works is a Member in |

| the foregoing licenses do not include any right to, and you agree not to (i) |
| redistribute, sell, lease, license, modify or otherwise create any derivative |

| utilize the Works or Applications for any public, production, commercial, or |
| other similar purpose other than internal use for evaluation and development of |
| contributions to the code repository for the applicable project maintained by |
| ONF and non-public, experimental Applications. |
| |
| Except as expressly provided herein, you may not (w) reproduce, distribute, |
| publicly display, or publicly perform any part of the Works, (x) decompile, |

| available to you in source code form, (y) make or attempt to make any |
| modification to, or otherwise create any derivative works of, the Works; or (z) |
| remove, obscure, interfere with or circumvent any feature of the Works, |
| including without limitation any copyright or other intellectual property |
| notices, security, or access control mechanism. You agree that you will not use |
| the Works to do anything illegal, including facilitating, promoting, or |
| otherwise encouraging any illegal activities. |
| |
| You represent and warrant that the Works will not be shipped, transferred or |
| exported into any country or used in any manner prohibited by the United States |

| an export controlled item under the Export Laws, you represent and warrant that |
| you are not a citizen, or otherwise located within, an embargoed nation |
| (including without limitation Crimea, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, or Syria) |
| and that you are not otherwise prohibited under the Export Laws from receiving |
| the Works. |

| applicable laws (collectively, the "Intellectual Property Rights"). You agree |
| that ONF or its subsidiaries or affiliated companies and/or its licensors own |
| all legal right, title and interest in and to the Works, including any and all |
| Intellectual Property Rights. ONF reserves all rights not expressly granted in |
| this License. You do not acquire any right, title or interest to the Works, |
| whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, except for the limited rights |
| set forth in this License. |
| |
| You agree that the form and nature of the Works that ONF provides may change |
| without prior notice to you and that future versions of the Works may be |
| incompatible with applications developed using previous versions of the Works. |
| You agree that ONF may stop (permanently or temporarily) providing the Works |
| (or any features within the Works) to you or to users generally at ONF's sole |
| discretion, without prior notice to you. Nothing in this License gives you a |

| solely responsible for (and that ONF has no responsibility to you or to any |
| third party for) any data, content, or resources that you create, transmit or |
| display. You agree that you are solely responsible for (and that ONF has no |
| responsibility to you or to any third party for) any breach of your obligations |
| under this License, any applicable third party contract or terms of service, or |
| any applicable law or regulation, and for the consequences (including any loss |
| or damage which ONF or any third party may suffer) of any such breach. |
| |

| Feedback will be submitted as a Contribution to the applicable project |
| maintained by ONF under the terms and conditions of a Contributor License |
| Agreement between you and ONF, is provided on a non-confidential basis |
| (notwithstanding any notice to the contrary you may include in any accompanying |
| communication), and ONF shall have the right to use such Feedback at its |
| discretion, including, but not limited to the incorporation of such Feedback |
| into the Works and any final code base that may be derived from the Works. |
| |
| 9. TERMINATION OF THIS LICENSE. |
| |
| This License will continue to apply until terminated by either you or ONF as |
| set out below. If you want to terminate this License, you may do so by ceasing |
| your use of the Works. If you cease being a Member in good standing of ONF, |
| this License will terminate automatically and without further notice to you. |

| legal rights, obligations and liabilities that you and ONF have benefited from, |
| been subject to (or which have accrued over time while this License has been in |
| force) or which are expressed to continue indefinitely, shall be unaffected by |
| this cessation, and paragraphs 1, 2 and 5 through 14 shall continue to apply to |
| such rights, obligations and liabilities indefinitely. In addition, unless |
| this License is terminated by ONF as a result of your breach of any provision |
| of this License, Partner-level Members entitled to the benefits of Section 4 of |
| this License shall also retain all rights granted by Section 4 so as long as |
| you remain a Partner-level Member in good standing. |
| |

| THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY YOU, INCLUDING ANY LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER OR NOT ONF OR |
| ITS REPRESENTATIVES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THE |
| POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH LOSSES. IN NO EVENT WILL ONF'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR |
| DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS LICENSE OR YOUR USE OF THE WORKS EXCEED THE GREATER |
| OF AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU FOR THE WORKS, IF ANY. |
| |
| 12. INDEMNIFICATION. |
| |
| To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold |
| harmless ONF, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, |

| expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or accruing from |
| (a) your use of the Works, (b) any Application or (for Partner-level Members) |
| commercial product or service you develop using the Works that infringes any |
| copyright, trademark, trade secret, trade dress, patent or other intellectual |
| property right of any person, and (c) any non-compliance by you with this |
| License or any applicable law or regulation. |
| |
| 13. CHANGES TO THIS LICENSE. |
| |
| ONF may make changes to this License as it distributes new versions of the |
| Works. When these changes are made, ONF will make a new version of this License |
| available on the ONF website. |
| |
| 14. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS. |
| |
| This License constitutes the entire legal agreement between you and ONF with |
| regard to your access and use of the Works, and governs your access and use of |
| the Works and completely supersedes any prior agreements between you and ONF in |
| relation to the Works, except for any Contributor License Agreement you may |
| have executed with ONF. You agree that if ONF does not exercise or enforce any |
| legal right or remedy which is contained in this License (or which ONF has the |
| benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a formal |
| waiver of ONF's rights and that those rights or remedies will still be |
| available to ONF. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide on |
| this matter, rules that any provision of this License is invalid, then that |
| provision will be removed from this License without affecting the rest of this |
| License. The remaining provisions of this License will continue to be valid and |
| enforceable so long as this License, as so modified, does not substantially |
| impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties. |
| The rights granted in this License may not be assigned or transferred by you |
| without the prior written approval of ONF. You shall not be permitted to |
| delegate your responsibilities or obligations under this License without the |
| prior written approval of ONF. |
