***************************************************************
Use, modify, and distribute the Oculus VR Rift SDK in source and binary form with your applications/software.
* This human-readable Summary is not a license. It is simply a convenient reference for understanding the full Oculus VR Rift SDK License Agreement. The Summary is written as a user-friendly interface to the full Oculus VR Rift SDK License below. This Summary itself has no legal value, and its contents do not appear in the actual license.
1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License Agreement (the “License”), Facebook Technologies, LLC formerly known as Oculus VR, LLC (“Oculus VR”) hereby grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, sublicenseable copyright license to use, reproduce, redistribute (subject to restrictions below), modify, and improve the software contained in this Oculus VR Rift Software Development Kit (“RIFT SDK”), including, but not limited to, the samples, headers, LibOVR headers, and LibOVR source. This license is subject to the following terms and conditions:
1.1. This license includes the non-exclusive license and right to use (i) the RIFT SDK to make applications, content, games and demos (collectively and generally referred to as “Developer Content”) that run on the Oculus VR approved mobile hardware and software products (“Oculus Approved Rift Products”) and which may incorporate the RIFT SDK in whole or in part in binary or object code; and (ii) to use the RIFT SDK to create derivative works of the RIFT SDK itself (“RIFT SDK Derivatives”), whether in source, binary, or object form, in whole or in part, including third party software unless otherwise noted.
1.2. RIFT SDK Derivatives are further defined as source, binary or object code derived exclusively from the RIFT SDK by you; provided, however, that RIFT SDK Derivatives do not include the Developer Content (engines, utilities, applications, content, games or demos) which may be developed using the RIFT SDK. By way of example a mobile application or game or demo that is developed using the RIFT SDK would not be a RIFT SDK Derivative , nor would a utility or tool set in a pre-existing game engine that is adapted to work with the RIFT SDK be a RIFT SDK Derivative. By way of example, but not limitation, a RIFT SDK Derivative is or would be: either (i) an adaptation of a utility or piece of code from the RIFT SDK to improve efficiency; or (ii) an addition of code or improvement to the RIFT SDK that adds functionality.
1.3 For the sake of clarification when you use the RIFT SDK (including RIFT SDK Derivatives) in or with Developer Content, you retain all rights to your Developer Content, and you have no obligations to share or license Developer Content (including your source and object code) to Oculus VR or any third parties; provided, however, Oculus VR retains all rights to the RIFT SDK and the RIFT SDK Derivatives that may be incorporated into your Developer Content.
2. You, the recipient and user of the RIFT SDK, hereby agree and accept that Oculus VR shall own all right, title and interest to the intellectual property rights, including, but not limited to copyright, trademark and patent rights, to any RIFT SDK Derivatives that you may create, and you hereby assign any and all such rights to such RIFT SDK Derivatives to Oculus VR, subject to the following.
2.1 We hereby grant to you the a fully paid up, no-charge, royalty-free, world-wide, in perpetuity, non-exclusive right and license back to use these RIFT SDK Derivatives solely in conjunction with the RIFT SDK (or any components of the RIFT SDK) and/or Developer Content on Oculus Rift Products as set forth herein.
2.2 Furthermore, for the sake of clarification, Oculus VR and its assignees and licensees shall be free to use such RIFT SDK Derivatives without any approval from you and without compensation or attribution to you.
2.3 You also agree upon Oculus VR’s request to provide the source and binary code of any RIFT SDK Derivatives to Oculus VR. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUEST IS THE BASIS FOR AUTOMATIC TERMINATION OF THIS LICENSE BY OCULUS VR.
3. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, your license to redistribute and sublicense the RIFT SDK and RIFT SDK Derivatives is also expressly made subject to the following conditions:
3.1. You may sublicense and redistribute the source, binary, or object code of the RIFT SDK in whole or in part by itself for no charge or as part of a for charge piece of Developer Content; provided, however, you may only license, sublicense or redistribute the source, binary or object code of LibOVR in whole, and you may not license, sublicense or redistribute any portion or element of LibOVR separately or in part (in either source, binary or object form). If you license, sublicense or redistribute RIFT SDK Derivatives in and of themselves (not as a part of a piece of Developer Content) then you may only do that solely with and in conjunction with either the RIFT SDK or LibOVR. The RIFT SDK (including, but not limited to LibOVR),any RIFT SDK Derivatives, and any Developer Content may only be used with Oculus Approved Rift Products and may not be used, licensed, or sublicensed to interface with mobile software or hardware or other commercial headsets, mobile tablets or phones that are not authorized and approved by Oculus VR;

All rights reserved,” and include the list of conditions contained in this Section 3, including the full text of the disclaimer in Section 3.6 below;

3.4. You must give any other recipients of the RIFT SDK or any elements thereof, including LibOVR or RIFT SDK Derivatives, a copy of this License as such recipients, licensees or sublicensees may only use the RIFT SDK or any RIFT SDK Derivatives or any elements thereof subject to the terms of this License and such recipients, licensees or sublicensees agreement and acceptance of this License with Oculus VR (which will convey all rights to the recipients’ or licensees’ or sublicensees’ RIFT SDK Derivatives to Oculus VR), and you must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files;
3.5. If the RIFT SDK or a specific element thereof such as LibOVR includes a “LICENSE” text file as part of its distribution (the “License Notice”), then any RIFT SDK Derivatives that you distribute with the RIFT SDK in whole or in part must include a readable copy of such attribution notices as are contained within the applicable License Notice file (excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of the RIFT SDK Derivatives), in at least one of the following places: within a License Notice text file distributed as part of the RIFT SDK Derivatives; within the source form or documentation, if provided along with the RIFT SDK Derivatives; or, within a display generated by the RIFT SDK Derivatives, if and wherever such third-party notices normally appear. You must also include in the License Notice file for all RIFT SDK Derivatives a copy of all notices (including any product liability or health and safety notices). The contents of the License Notice file are for informational purposes only and do not modify the License. You may add your own attribution notices within RIFT SDK Derivatives that you distribute, alongside or as an addendum to the License Notice text from the RIFT SDK or any part thereof, provided that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.

7. Oculus VR reserves the right to terminate this License and all your rights hereunder in the event you materially breach this License and fail to cure such breach within ten (10) business days after notice of breach from Oculus VR.
8. Furthermore, Oculus VR also reserves the right to cancel or terminate this License for any of the following reasons upon notice to you, subject to the appeal process set forth in Section 14 for a wrongful termination:
If you believe that you have been wrongfully terminated under this Section 8 with respect to material breach or with respect to these above conditions, you have the right to appeal the termination of this License under Section 14.
9. This License may be amended by Oculus VR on a prospective basis, and your usage of the License after such amendments or changes signifies your consent to and acceptance of any such amendments or changes on a going forward basis.
10. In the event any provision of this License is determined to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a court or other body of competent jurisdiction, this License shall be construed as if such invalid, prohibited or unenforceable provision has been more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable.
11. You may not assign any rights or obligations under this License without the advance written consent of Oculus VR, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. Oculus VR may assign its rights or obligations under this License in its sole discretion.
