LICENSING JUMPER™
The Jumper™ platform is open source software. It provides a comprehensive facility for life sciences organizations
and software developers looking to leverage Jumper.
The Jumper™ software modules are dual licensed. We comply with the General Public License version 2 (GPLv2)
and the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL).
Review the Jumper version 1.21 License
Jumper follows an innovative Contributor Agreement ("CA") policy for particular improvement modules that do not dynmically
link to the GPL modules. These improvements and any related customization that is provided for or by customers allow
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 customes to own and control and changes they make to the Jumper code base. The CDDL allows customers to
contribute any modifications to the Jumper sourcefiles back to the community only 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
data and metadata seamlessly through the use of the JUMP Semantic 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).
- If your product is a software development tool designed for building OWL files or data integration middleware on the
JUMP Framework, you can convey on the packaging or marketing materials that the tool works with the JUMP Framework. 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.
Please follow these guidelines in making use of the JUMP marks. An example of the available trademarks for licensing
and dispay are defined below.
 
Keeping JUMP trademarks strong helps our entire community. Please let us know if you see our trademarks used in a way
that does not conform to these guidelines. For Jumper's privacy notice, click here.
