什么是Oracle技术网开发者许可 (OTN License)

时常在Oracle上看到OTN许可，我之前不明白OTN许可是个什么样的许可，现将Oracle上对OTN许可的阐述转贴过来，供大家了解。

 

Oracle 技术网开发者许可条款(OTN License)

 

对软件程序的出口管制
选中下面的“接受许可协议”按钮，即确认您同意现在以及在试用期间遵守以下各项条款：
 

- 您不是古巴、伊朗、苏丹、利比亚、朝鲜、叙利亚或任何美国禁止向其出口的国家的公民、国民或居民，并且不受这些国家的政府控制。
- 您不得下载或以其他方式将软件程序直接或间接出口或转口到上述国家和上述国家的公民、国民或居民。
- 您未列在美国财政部的“特别指定国民”、“特别指定恐怖分子”和“特别指定贩毒者”清单之中，也未列在美国商务部的“拒绝订购表”之中。
 

- 您不得下载或以其他方式将软件程序直接或间接出口或转口给上述清单所列之人。
 

- 您不得将软件程序且不允许他人将软件程序用于美国法律严禁的任何目的，包括但不限于开发、设计、制造或生产毁灭性核武器或生化武器。
 

出口限制条款
您同意对软件程序（包括技术数据）的使用受美国出口管制法律和其他适用的进出口法律的管辖；其他信息可从 Oracle® 的全球贸易法规遵循部网站（http://www.oracle.com/products/export）获得。
 

您同意不会违反上述法律将软件程序和其中直接包含的任何产品以直接或间接方式出口，也不会将它们用于上述法律严禁的用途，包括但不限于核武器或生化武器扩散。
 

Oracle 员工： 在任何情况下，Oracle 员工都无权出于向客户分发软件的目的下载软件。 Oracle 产品仅供员工内部使用或演示之用。 Oracle 员工必须履行美国和适用的多边法律框架下的 Oracle 贸易法规遵循义务，违反本政策将导致最高为终止协议（包括终止协议）的纪律处分。
 

注意：您受 Oracle 技术网（“OTN”）许可协议条款的约束。 OTN 许可协议条款也适用于您通过技术跟踪订阅服务收到的所有更新内容。
 

下面列出的 OTN 许可协议条款取代 OTN 技术跟踪软件光盘中的任何拆封许可以及先前的 OTN 许可条款（包括根据 OTN 软件使用证书修改过的 Oracle 软件程序许可条款）。
 

Oracle 技术网开发许可协议
 

“我们”、“我们的”指 Oracle 美国公司，用于代表该公司和受其控制的子公司和附属机构。 “您”和“您的”指希望使用 Oracle 软件程序的个人或法律实体。 “软件程序”指您希望下载和使用的 Oracle 软件产品和软件程序文档。 “许可”指您依据本协议条款使用软件程序的权利。 本协议受加利福尼亚州的实体法和程序法管辖。 您和 Oracle 都同意在发生任何由本协议引起或与之相关的争议时，服从加利福尼亚州的旧金山、圣马特奥或圣克拉拉县的法庭的专属管辖权并且审判地为这些法庭。
 

只有在您接受本协议包含的所有条款的情况下，我们才会许可您使用这些软件程序。 仔细阅读这些条款，并选中“接受许可协议”按钮确认您同意接受这些条款。 如果您不同意受这些条款约束，请选中“不接受许可协议”按钮，注册过程将不再继续。
 

许可授予的权利 Oracle 授予您使用本软件程序的非独占的有限许可，您可以使用本软件程序开发一个应用系统原型（仅一个），该许可不得转让，不得用于任何其他用途。 如果您将利用本许可开发的应用系统用于任何内部数据处理或任何商业或生产目的，或希望将软件程序用于其他目的而非本协议许可的用途，您必须与我们或 Oracle 的经销商联系以获取相应的许可。 我们会审计您使用软件程序的情况。 您可以通过http://www.oracle.com/technology/global/cn/documentation 在线访问软件程序文档。
 

所有权和限制
我们保留软件程序的全部所有权和知识产权。 软件程序仅可安装在一台计算机上，并在我们确认的操作环境中由一人使用。 您可复制一份软件程序做备份之用。
 

禁止：
- 将软件程序用于您自己的内部数据处理或任何商业或生产目的，除了开发唯一一个应用系统原型以外不得将其用于任何其他目的；
- 在未获得我们相应许可的情况下，将利用软件程序开发的应用系统用于任何内部数据处理或商业或生产目的；
- 在未获得我们或Oracle经销商的相应许可的情况下已将程序用于任何内部数据处理、商业或生产目的，此后继续开发您的应用系统；
- 删除或修改我们的任何版权声明或程序标记；
- 以任何方式向任一第三方提供软件程序； - 将软件程序用于提供第三方培训；
- 将本协议转让给其他个人或法律实体，或者将软件程序或其中的任何权益给予或转让给其他个人或法律实体；
- 造成或允许对软件程序进行反向工程（除非法律要求实现互操作性）、反汇编或反编译；
- 在未获得我们同意的情况下披露任何软件程序基准测试结果；或
- 使用Oracle的任何名称、商标或徽标。
 

出口
您同意对软件程序（包括技术数据）的使用受美国出口管制法律和其他适用的进出口法律的管辖；其他信息可从Oracle 的全球贸易法规遵循部网站（http://www.oracle.com/products/export/index.html?content.html）获得。您同意不会违反上述法律将软件程序和其中直接包含的任何产品以直接或间接方式出口，也不会将它们用于上述法律严禁的用途，包括但不限于核武器或生化武器扩散。
 

免责声明和唯一补救措施
 

软件程序均按“原样”提供，不提供任何形式的保证。 此外，我们不提供任何明示或暗示的保证，包括但不限于任何关于适销性、特定用途的适用性或不侵犯知识产权的暗示保证。
 

在任何情况下，Oracle对由您或任何第三方造成的任何形式的损失概不负责，包括间接损失、附带损失、特殊损失、惩罚性赔偿或后果性损失，或利润和收入损失、信息丢失或信息使用造成的损失，也不论是合同还是侵权行为引发起诉造成的损失，即使 Oracle 已事先获悉此类损失的可能性。 在任何情况下，Oracle 对上述损失的全部赔偿责任不超过 1000 美元。
 

订单中包含的试用程序
订单中可能包含仅供试用的其他软件程序。 从交付日期起，你有 30 天的时间来评估这些软件程序。 30 天试用期结束后再使用这些软件程序您就必须购买相应的许可。 我们许可试用的软件程序按“原样”提供，但我们不为这些软件程序提供技术支持和任何保证。
 

不提供技术支持
我们的技术支持中心将不为本协议许可使用的软件程序提供技术支持、电话支持或更新。
 

协议终止
您可以通过销毁软件程序的所有副本来终止本协议。 如果您未能遵守本协议的任何条款，我们有权终止您使用本软件程序，在这种情况下，您应销毁软件程序的所有副本。
 

协议双方的关系
您与我们之间的关系为被许可方与许可方的关系。 任何一方无权代表另一方承担或设定任何明示或暗示的义务，也不得视为另一方的代理商、员工、经销商或者其他身份。 本协议中的任何内容不应解释为限制任一方独立开发或分发与另一方产品功能类似的软件的权利，只要另一方的所有权信息未包含在此类软件中。
 

开放源代码
“开放源代码”软件 — 无需付费即可使用、修改和分发的软件 — 的许可条款通常要求用户以源代码形式免费共享他们对开放源代码软件或任何用户与开放源代码软件结合使用的其他软件所做的修改。 如果您将软件程序与开放源代码软件一起使用，那么您需确保您的使用不会： (i) 设定或意在设定我们有关 Oracle 软件程序的义务；或 (ii) 授予或意在授予任何第三方获得 Oracle 软件程序的知识产权或所有权的权利或使其不受这些权利的制约。 例如，如果某个开放源代码程序的许可要求免费共享所有“修改”，那么您不得使用 Oracle 软件程序和该开放源代码程序开发软件程序，因为这种开发会产生同时包含 Oracle 程序代码和开放源代码程序代码（包括但不限于库）的程序文件。 您也不得以任何可能造成、被解释为或使人认为Oracle程序或对其所做的任何修改会受GPL条款制约的方式结合使用Oracle软件程序和获得了 GNU 通用公共许可（"GPL"）的程序。
 

全部协议
您同意本协议为有关软件程序和许可的全部协议，且本协议取代先前和同时存在的所有协议或约定。 如果本协议的任一条款无效或无法执行，其余条款将继续有效。

You agree that neither the Programs nor any direct product thereof will be exported, directly, or indirectly, in violation of these laws, or will be used for any purpose prohibited by these laws including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation. 

Disclaimer of Warranty and Exclusive Remedies

THE PROGRAMS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE FURTHER DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NONINFRINGEMENT. 

IN NO EVENT SHALL WE BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR DATA USE, INCURRED BY YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT OR TORT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. OUR ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS (U.S. $1,000).

No Technical Support

Unless Oracle support for the Programs, if any, is expressly included in a separate, current support agreement between you and Oracle, our technical support organization will not provide technical support, phone support, or updates to you for the Programs licensed under this Agreement.

End of Agreement

You may terminate this Agreement by destroying all copies of the Programs. We have the right to terminate your right to use the Programs if you fail to comply with any of the terms of this Agreement, in which case you shall destroy all copies of the Programs. 

Relationship Between the Parties

The relationship between you and us is that of licensee/licensor. Neither party will represent that it has any authority to assume or create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party, nor to represent the other party as agent, employee, franchisee, or in any other capacity. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either party's right to independently develop or distribute software that is functionally similar to the other party's products, so long as proprietary information of the other party is not included in such software. 

Open Source Software

"Open Source" software - software available without charge for use, modification and distribution - is often licensed under terms that require the user to make the user's modifications to the Open Source software or any software that the user 'combines' with the Open Source software freely available in source code form. If you use Open Source software in conjunction with the Programs, you must ensure that your use does not: (i) create, or purport to create, obligations of us with respect to the Oracle Programs; or (ii) grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights to or immunities under our intellectual property or proprietary rights in the Oracle Programs. For example, you may not develop a software program using an Oracle Programs and an Open Source program where such use results in a program file(s) that contains code from both the Oracle Programs and the Open Source program (including without limitation libraries) if the Open Source program is licensed under a license that requires any "modifications" be made freely available. You also may not combine the Oracle Programs with programs licensed under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") in any manner that could cause, or could be interpreted or asserted to cause, the Oracle Programs or any modifications thereto to become subject to the terms of the GPL.  

Entire Agreement

You agree that this Agreement is the complete agreement for the Programs and licenses, and this Agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations. If any term of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective.
