45 Intellectual Property rights:
46 Recipient understands that although each Contributor to Bacula grants
47 the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
48 provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
49 patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity.
50 Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims
51 brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual
52 property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights
53 and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole
54 responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights
55 needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is
56 required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is
57 Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing
61 Each Contributor to Bacula represents that to its knowledge it has
62 sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant
