IMPORTANT. Read this Microsoft Development License
Agreement before opening this package. By opening this
package, you indicate your acceptance of this Microsoft
Development License Agreement.
MICROSOFT DEVELOPMENT LICENSE
Windows NT Preliminary Device Driver Kit
1. LICENSE GRANTS. To develop Windows NT device
drivers, developers will need to utilize two computer systems- a
development system and a debugging system. Microsoft
Corporation ("Microsoft") grants to you the following non-exclusive,
non-assignable, royalty-free rights with respect to the enclosed
Microsoft preliminary software in source and object code form (the
"MS Code"):
(a) to use the MS Code on a development system and a
debugging system for the sole purposes of designing, developing,
and testing a device driver or drivers for the Microsoft Windows NT
operating system or any other environment in which the MS Code is
designed to operate;
(b) to install the Windows NT retail operating system code from
the Microsoft Win32 Preliminary SDK for Windows NT on a second
machine to be used for debugging drivers. (the license agreement
for the Microsoft Win32 Preliminary SDK for Windows NT gives you
the right to install the Windows NT retail operating system code on
your development system);
(c) to reproduce and distribute test versions of your device
driver(s) created using the MS Code, provided you agree to be
solely responsible for updating your customers with versions of your
device driver(s) which have been rebuilt with the final version of the
Windows NT Device Driver Kit ("DDK") and that operate
satisfactorily with the final commercial release of Microsoft Windows
NT; and
(d) to modify the source code of the MS Code and to reproduce
and distribute such modifications in object code form provided that
you: (i) distribute the MS Code only in conjunction with and as a part
of your device driver; (ii) change the appropriate file names on all
device drivers, virtual devices, and related components that are
created by modifying the included source code in accordance with
the "Driver File Name Policy" section of the release notes
accompanying the MS Code; (iii) do not make any statements to
the effect or which imply that your driver is "certified" by Microsoft or
that its performance is guaranteed by Microsoft; (iv) do not use
Microsoft's name, logo, or trademarks to market your device driver
and (v) agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and defend Microsoft
and its suppliers from and against any claims or lawsuits, including
attorney's fees, that arise or result from your distribution of the
device driver.
(e) The MS Code shall not be used, modified, reproduced or
distributed except as provided above and you agree to destroy or
erase the copy of the MS Code upon Microsoft's release of the MS
Code in final form. Except as provided herein, Microsoft does not
grant any express or implied right to you to or under Microsoft
patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information.
(f) Microsoft makes no commitments that a device driver
developed using this preliminary DDK will work with the final
commercial version of Windows NT. You acknowledge that MS will
not be obligated to make any of the MS Code included in this
package available as a final commercial product.
2. COPYRIGHT. The MS Code is owned by Microsoft or its
suppliers and is protected by United States copyright laws and
international treaty provisions. Therefore, you must treat the MS
Code like any other copyrighted material and you may not
reproduce the MS Code except as otherwise provided herein. You
may not copy the printed materials accompanying the MS Code.
Microsoft grants you the right to print one copy of the documentation
files provided on the CD-ROM.
3. OTHER RESTRICTIONS. You may not rent or lease the
MS Code, or otherwise transfer the MS Code and accompanying
written materials.
4. NO WARRANTIES. Because the MS Code is
preliminary code and may be changed substantially before first
commercial shipment, the MS Code and accompanying written
materials are provided "as is", without warranty of any kind.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Microsoft
disclaims all warranties, either express or implied, including
but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability and
fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk arising out of
the use or performance of the MS Code and any accompanying
written materials remains with you.
5. NO LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. In no
event shall Microsoft or its suppliers be liable for any damages
whatsoever (including, without limitation, damages for loss of
business profits, business interruption, loss of business
information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out of the use of
or inability to use the MS Code, even if Microsoft has been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Because some
states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above
limitation may not apply to you.
6. MISCELLANEOUS. If you acquired this product in the
United States, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the State
of Washington. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any
rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys fees, costs
and expenses.
7. YOU AGREE TO COMPLY WITH MICROSOFT
TRADEMARK USAGE GUIDELINES AS MAY BE PRESCRIBED
FROM TIME TO TIME WITH ANY PRODUCT DEVELOPED
USING MS CODE.
