COVID Pledge
Immediate action is required to halt the COVID-19 Pandemic and treat those it has affected. It is a practical and moral imperative that every tool we have at our disposal be applied to develop and deploy technologies on a massive scale without impediment.
We therefore pledge to make our intellectual property available free of charge for use in ending the COVID-19 pandemic and minimizing the impact of the disease.
We will implement this pledge through a license that details the terms and conditions under which our intellectual property is made available.
Une action immédiate est nécessaire pour bloquer la pandémie de COVID-19 et traiter les personnes qui en sont affectées. Il relève d’un impératif pratique et moral d’utiliser tous les outils dont nous disposons pour développer et déployer des technologies à grande échelle, exemptes de tout obstacle.
Nous nous engageons donc à mettre gratuitement notre propriété intellectuelle à disposition dans le but de mettre fin à la pandémie de COVID-19 et d’en minimiser l’impact.
Notre engagement se traduira par l’établissement d’une licence qui fera état des conditions dans lesquelles nous mettons notre propriété intellectuelle à disposition.

Поэтому мы обязуемся на бесплатной основе предоставить доступ к нашей интеллектуальной собственности для ее использования с целью прекращения пандемии COVID-19 и максимального ограничения последствий, вызванных этой болезнью.
Мы реализуем это обязательство посредством предоставления разрешения, в котором предусмотрены условия доступа к нашей интеллектуальной собственности.
