Licence de brevet pour la spécification Digital Negative (DNG)
Adobe est l’éditeur de la spécification Digital Negative (DNG) qui décrit un format de fichier image destiné au stockage d’informations brutes relatives à l’appareil photo utilisées par un grand nombre d’appareils et de logiciels. Adobe fournit la spécification DNG au public dans le but d’encourager la mise en œuvre de ce format de fichier de manière conforme. This document is a patent license granted by Adobe to individuals and organizations that desire to develop, market, and/or distribute hardware and software that reads and/or writes image files compliant with the DNG Specification.
Octroi de droits
Subject to the terms below and solely to permit the reading and writing of image files that comply with the DNG Specification, Adobe hereby grants all individuals and organizations the worldwide, royalty-free, nontransferable, nonexclusive right under all Essential Claims to make, have made, use, sell, import, and distribute Compliant Implementations.
“Compliant Implementation” means a portion of a software or hardware product that reads or writes computer files compliant with the DNG Specification.
“DNG Specification” means any version of the Adobe DNG Specification made publicly available by Adobe (for example, version 1.0.0.0 dated September 2004).
Une « revendication essentielle » désigne la revendication d’un brevet, indépendamment du moment et du lieu de sa délivrance, pour lequel Adobe détient le droit de licence sans versement de redevance ou d’autres frais et qui a été enfreint de façon inévitable par la mise en œuvre de la spécification DNG. Une revendication est inévitablement enfreinte par la spécification DNG seulement lorsqu’il est impossible d’éviter la transgression en restant conforme à cette spécification, car il n’existe aucune solution alternative qui n’enfreigne pas la spécification pour atteindre cette conformité. Essential Claim does not include a claim that is infringed by implementation of (a) enabling technology that may be necessary to make or use any product or portion thereof that complies with the DNG Specification but is not itself expressly set forth in the DNG Specification (for example, compiler technology and basic operating system technology), (b) technology developed elsewhere and merely incorporated by reference in the DNG Specification, or (c) the implementation of file formats other than DNG.
Revocation
Adobe may revoke the rights granted above to any individual or organizational licensee in the event that such licensee or its affiliates brings any patent action against Adobe or its affiliates related to the reading or writing of files that comply with the DNG Specification.
Toute mise en œuvre conforme distribuée dans le cadre de cette licence doit inclure l’avis suivant affiché de manière visible au sein du code source et de la documentation : « Ce produit inclut la technologie DNG sous licence d’Adobe. »
Absence de garantie
The rights granted herein are provided on an as-is basis without warranty of any kind, including warranty of title or noninfringement. Nothing in this license shall be construed as (a) requiring the maintenance of any patent, (b) a warranty or representation as to the validity or scope of any patent, (c) a warranty or representation that any product or service will be free from infringement of any patent, (d) an agreement to bring or prosecute actions against any infringers of any patent, or (e) conferring any right or license under any patent claim other than Essential Claims.
