Jumper follows an innovative Contributor Agreement ("CA") policy that allows contributors to retain their own copyright while sharing a joint copyright interest in the contributed code. This way contributors retain all the rights granted by copyright law while sharing those rights with the open source project sponsor so that the code is protected.

Jumper chose the CDDL as the Contributor Agreement license because it believes this license strikes a good balance of allowing both the non-profit and "for-profit" open source communities to use the JUMPER code base for their work and products. The CDDL is beneficial to the JUMPER community because it requires that users give back to the community any modifications to the JUMP sourcefiles, if and when they choose to distribute those modifications. However, Jumper recognizes that over time there may be a need to adjust the license or adapt to new licensing models as they evolve. The CA will allow Jumper to consider alternative licensing models for the JUMPER code base (although the code will always remain available under the CDDL as well).

JUMP™ TRADEMARK USAGE

JUMP is a brand associated with Jumper Networks technology. JUMP is not a platform, an application, or a service. Rather, it is a set of capabilities in products that enables people, information, systems, and devices to connect and exchange metadata seamlessly through the use of the JUMP framework.

The Jumper JumpStart logo program was developed to highlight specific products that leverage JUMP through the use of the JUMP Framework. Jumper trademarks are intellectual property, with value both to us at Jumper and to our community of customers, developers, partners, and supporters. When our trademarks maintain their strong association with quality and compatibility, the entire community benefits.

Trademarks are words or symbols used to identify the source of products, technologies, programs and services, enabling customers to distinguish one provider's offerings from another's. When we say "products" in these guidelines, we mean all types of offerings, ranging from commercial products and services to open source and free software and informational web sites. Trademark law protects the public's ability to rely on trademarks for information about product source and quality, requiring trademark owners to take steps to police proper use of their marks We provide these Jumper Trademark and Logo Usage Requirements ("guidelines") as part of a comprehensive program to satisfy this obligation, and to help you and all of our community members make proper use of our marks consistent with these guidelines and the law.
Review these guidelines for using or referencing the JUMP trademarks.

Overview of Jumper's Trademark Guidelines

• The JUMP trademarks cannot be included in the name of any third party product, technology, program or service without express written consent from Jumper Networks. This includes free and educational materials, open source distributions, and the titles of informational web sites. Just ask and we will gladly grant permission.
• Mark and attribute the JUMP trademarks. When making fair use of JUMP trademarks, or the JUMP brand name, mark and attribute them as outlined.
• Products or services that meet the criteria to use the logo but have chosen not to commercially license the logo should use the phrase "JUMP-compatible" (but not the JUMP logos).

You should use the phrase in small lettering that is subordinate in size and placement to the product name.
• You may only use JUMP logos by permission. To find out more about Jumper's logo programs and to apply for a commercial or non-commercial license, please contact us.
