No, being in court with Facebook is only one place where the termination can happen:
>anyone that makes any claim (including by filing any lawsuit, assertion or
other action)
Even just stating that a Facebook patent is invalid terminates your license.
>any right in any patent claim of Facebook is invalid or
unenforceable
Even just stating your belief that software patents are invalid or unenforceable terminates your license.
However, if you read closely, the last paragraph starts out with:
>The license granted hereunder
There isn't actually any license granted after that clause (it occurs before this clause), so I'd argue the entire last paragraph is meaningless puffery.
- magicalist 12y ago> There isn't actually any license granted after that clause (it occurs before this clause) "hereunder" does not refer to a direction within the text :)
- jsprogrammer 12y agoYes, it does.
- c22 12y agoIt can. But it doesn't necessarily.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoNothing better than ambiguous language in psuedo-legal documents.
- Shish2k 12y agogoogle "define:hereunder" -> "as provided for under the terms of this document."
- jsprogrammer 12y agoWith sub-qualification: >further on in a document. Even your primary definition contains the location clause, 'under the terms'.
- Shish2k 12y ago> with a sub-qualification Odd, that didn't show up in my view o_O Maybe google is geo-targetting dictionary definitions... Also, 'under the terms of this document' does not literally mean 'physically located beneath this sheet of paper' :P
- teamhappy 12y ago> Even just stating your belief that software patents are invalid or unenforceable terminates your license. I guess that's the interesting part. Sources would be really helpful.
