|
NVIDIA Software ("LICENSE") is the agreement which governs use of |
|
the software of NVIDIA Corporation and its subsidiaries ("NVIDIA") |
|
downloadable herefrom, including computer software and associated |
|
printed materials ("SOFTWARE"). By downloading, installing, copying, |

RECITALS |
|
|
|
Use of NVIDIA's products requires three elements: the SOFTWARE, the |
|
hardware, and a personal computer. The SOFTWARE is protected by copyright |
|
laws and international copyright treaties, as well as other intellectual |
|
property laws and treaties. The SOFTWARE may be protected by various |
|
patents, and is not sold, and instead is only licensed for use, strictly |
|
in accordance with this document. The hardware is protected by various |
|
patents, and is sold, but this agreement does not cover that sale, since |
|
it may not necessarily be sold as a package with the SOFTWARE. This |
|
agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of the SOFTWARE LICENSE only. |
|
|
|
1. DEFINITIONS |
|
|
|

|
the following non-exclusive, non-transferable right to use the |
|
SOFTWARE, with the following limitations: |
|
|
|
2.1.1 Rights. Customer may install and use multiple copies of the |
|
SOFTWARE on a shared computer or concurrently on different computers, |
|
and make multiple back-up copies of the SOFTWARE, solely for Customer's |

use within Customer's Enterprise. "Enterprise" shall mean individual use |
|
by Customer or any legal entity (such as a corporation or university) |
|
and the subsidiaries it owns by more than fifty percent (50%). |
|
|
|
2.1.2 Open Source Exception. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms |
|
of Section 2.1.1, SOFTWARE may be copied and redistributed solely for |
|
use on operating systems distributed under the terms of an OSI-approved |
|
open source license as listed by the Open Source Initiative at |

http://opensource.org, provided that the binary files thereof are not |
|
modified, and Customer provides a copy of this license with the SOFTWARE. |
|

|
2.1.3 Limitations. |

No Reverse Engineering. Customer may not reverse engineer, |
|
decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other |

manner to obtain the source code. |

Usage. SOFTWARE is licensed only for use with microprocessor(s) which have |
|
been (i) designed by NVIDIA and (ii) either (a) sold by or (b) licensed by |

|
SOFTWARE to be executed by, any other microprocessor. |

Defensive Suspension. If Customer commences or participates in any legal |
|
proceeding against NVIDIA, then NVIDIA may, in its sole discretion, |
|
suspend or terminate all license grants and any other rights provided |
|
under this LICENSE during the pendency of such legal proceedings. |
|

All title and copyrights in and to the SOFTWARE (including but |
|
not limited to all images, photographs, animations, video, audio, |

music, text, and other information incorporated into the SOFTWARE), |
|
the accompanying printed materials, and any copies of the SOFTWARE, |
|
