Dear Luis, Thank you Luis for your efforts and for your new proposal. However as pointed out earlier, with respect to the so called " implicit patent grant " we have serious doubts that this legal notice might indeed include any " implicit patent grant" as only a copyright license is defined and it is clearly stated in such legal notice that "For avoidance of doubt, the rights granted are only those expressly stated in this Section herein. No other rights of any kind are granted by implication, estoppel, waiver or otherwise ". Therefore we do not support the use of such notice, bearing in mind that the objective is that an user can effectively have access to the relevant terms and conditions of the license in a transparent manner, in line with EU guidelines and requirements. - Concerning the notice with "explicit patent grant", we propose to modify the definition of " Necessarily infringed " in the definition of " Essential patents specifications " as follows : "Necessarily infringed" shall mean that no technical alternative exists to avoid infringement. " as we do believe that we need to avoid a too broad interpretation of the definition of " Essential patents specifications " and that the terms " no commercially reasonable alternative " doesn't give any legal certainty and are open to dispute. Thank you for your understanding Best regards De : fiware-legal-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu [mailto:fiware-legal-bounces at lists.fi-ware.eu] De la part de LUIS GARCIA GARCIA Envoyé : jeudi 16 mai 2013 15:49 À : fiware-legal at lists.fi-ware.eu Objet : [Fiware-legal] FI-WARE LEGAL NOTICE Dear all, Find enclosed two drafts of the Legal Notices (explicit and implicit) for the FIWARE Open Specifications (each partner will choose the one it prefers). We have tried to include most of the compatible comments received from you. Thanks for your inputs¡ Accordingly with the FI-WARE Project roadmap, we need to conclude now the final "legal notice" Our intention is to consider these drafts as "final" ; notwithstanding, if you consider that something "essential" needs to be included (or any typo), please let us know before next Wednesday 22nd. To simplify the study of this new versions of the Legal Notice, we have included some explanatory notes about the changes introduced (not about all the comments received) No modifications have been introduced affecting the Royalty free character of this Legal Notice. This RF nature is in the essence of this project and in accordance with the FI-WARE Grant Agreement and Consortium Agreement and cannot be a matter of discussion.
