This NetApp Manageability SDK License Agreement (“License”) is entered into
between you (as an individual and/or on behalf of the company by which you are
employed) (“You”, “Your” or “Licensee”) and NetApp, Inc., located
at 1395 Crossman Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94089 (“NetApp”), and provides
the terms under which NetApp licenses the NetApp Manageability SDK (“SDK”)
to You.
If You are accessing the SDK electronically from the NetApp Support Site ("NSS"),
indicate your acceptance of these terms by selecting the "Accept" button. By
accepting the terms of the License, You agree to be bound by the terms of the
License, which includes any other applicable licenses provided with the SDK.
If You do not agree to all of the terms, do not download the SDK. This License
only applies to the SDK licensed by NetApp, Inc. or its affiliates (collectively,
"NetApp") and expressly excludes any software that may be made available on
the NSS by third parties.
1. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT KIT LICENSE GRANT. The following license terms apply
to the NetApp Manageability Software Development Kit. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this License, NetApp grants You a license to:
i. Internally use the documentation which may include the "Getting Started Guide,"
FAQs, API documentation, and trouble-shooting guidelines (collectively, the
"SDK Documentation") solely for the purpose of researching, designing, developing
and testing a software application product (the "Licensee Application)" for
use with NetApp products;
ii. Use, reproduce and distribute the language libraries in object code form
for those languages where such use, reproduction and distribution is possible
in object code form and in source code form only for those languages where such
use, reproduction and distribution in object code form is not possible, such
as scripting languages, and only as incorporated into the Licensee Application;
provided, however, that You (A) do not modify the language libraries; (B) reproduce
and include the copyright notice that appears in the language libraries as provided
by NetApp, and (C) distribute the Licensee Application incorporating the language
libraries pursuant to terms no less restrictive than those set forth herein;
and
iii. Use, reproduce, modify and create derivatives of the sample code which
may include utilities (the "Sample Derivatives") and reproduce and distribute
the Sample Derivatives in object code form as incorporated in the Licensee Application;
provided, however, that You (A) reproduce and include the copyright notice that
appears in the sample code as provided by NetApp, and (B) distribute the Licensee
Application incorporating the Sample Derivatives pursuant to terms no less restrictive
than those set forth herein. You will promptly disclose to NetApp all Sample
Derivatives made by or created for You. NetApp will not provide technical support,
phone support, or updates to You for the sample code licensed under this License.
If NetApp, at its sole option, supplies updates to You, the updates will be
considered part of the sample code, and subject to the terms of this License.
1.1 You shall not combine the language libraries or the Sample Derivatives into
a Licensee Application such that the language libraries or Sample Derivatives
would be licensed under a license that requires the language libraries or Sample
Derivatives to be (a) disclosed or distributed in source code form, (b) licensed
for the purpose of making derivative works, or (c) redistributable at no charge.
1.2 Third Party Software. Notwithstanding other statements in this License,
the SDK may include third party software including free, copyleft and open source
