113+
--------------------------------
114+
115+
2.1. Grants

117+
Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
118+
non-exclusive license:
119+
120+
(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
121+
Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,

130+
2.2. Effective Date
131+
132+
The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
133+
become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
134+
distributes such Contribution.
135+
136+
2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
137+
138+
The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
139+
this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
140+
distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
141+
Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
142+
Contributor:
143+
144+
(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
145+
or
146+
147+
(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
148+
modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
149+
Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
150+
Version); or
151+
152+
(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
153+
its Contributions.
154+
155+
This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
156+
or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
157+
the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
158+
159+
2.4. Subsequent Licenses
160+
161+
No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
162+
distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
163+
License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
164+
permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
165+
166+
2.5. Representation
167+
168+
Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
169+
Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
170+
to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
171+
172+
2.6. Fair Use
173+
174+
This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
175+
applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
176+
equivalents.
177+
178+
2.7. Conditions
179+
180+
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
181+
in Section 2.1.
182+
183+
3. Responsibilities
184+
-------------------
185+
186+
3.1. Distribution of Source Form
187+
188+
All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
189+
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
190+
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
191+
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
192+
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
193+
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
194+
Form.
195+
196+
3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
197+
198+
If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
199+
200+
(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
201+
Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
202+
the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
203+
Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
204+
than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
205+
206+
(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
207+
License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
208+
license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
209+
the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
210+
211+
3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
212+
213+
You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
214+
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
215+
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
216+
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
217+
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
218+
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
219+
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
220+
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
221+
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
222+
License(s).
223+
224+
3.4. Notices
225+
226+
You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
227+
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
228+
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
229+
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
230+
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
231+
232+
3.5. Application of Additional Terms
233+
234+
You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
235+
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
236+
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
237+
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
238+
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
239+
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
240+
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
241+
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
242+
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
243+
jurisdiction.
244+
245+
4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
246+
---------------------------------------------------
247+
248+
If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
249+
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
250+
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
251+
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
252+
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
253+
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
254+
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
255+
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
256+
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
257+
258+
5. Termination
259+
--------------
260+
261+
5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
262+
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
263+
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
264+
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
265+
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
266+
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
267+
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
268+
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
269+
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
270+
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
271+
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
272+
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
273+
Your receipt of the notice.
274+
275+
5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
276+
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
277+
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
278+
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
279+
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
280+
2.1 of this License shall terminate.
281+
282+
5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
283+
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
284+
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
285+
prior to termination shall survive termination.
286+

289+
* 6. Disclaimer of Warranty *
290+
* ------------------------- *
291+
* *
292+
* Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" *
293+
* basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or *
294+
* statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the *
295+
* Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a *
296+
* particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the *
297+
* quality and performance of the Covered Software is with You. *
298+
* Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You *
299+
* (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing, *
300+
* repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an *
301+
* essential part of this License. No use of any Covered Software is *
302+
* authorized under this License except under this disclaimer. *
303+
* *
304+
************************************************************************
305+
306+
************************************************************************
307+

308+
* 7. Limitation of Liability *
309+
* -------------------------- *
310+
* *
311+
* Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort *
312+
* (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any *
313+
* Contributor, or anyone who distributes Covered Software as *
314+
* permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect, *
315+
* special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character *
316+
* including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of *
317+
* goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any *
318+
* and all other commercial damages or losses, even if such party *
319+
* shall have been informed of the possibility of such damages. This *
320+
* limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or *
321+
* personal injury resulting from such party's negligence to the *
322+
* extent applicable law prohibits such limitation. Some *
323+
* jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of *
324+
* incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and *
325+
* limitation may not apply to You. *
326+
* *
327+
************************************************************************
328+
329+
8. Litigation
330+
-------------
331+
332+
Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
333+
courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
334+
place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
335+
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
336+
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
337+
cross-claims or counter-claims.
338+
339+
9. Miscellaneous
340+
----------------
341+
342+
This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
343+
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
344+
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
345+
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
346+
that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
347+
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
348+
349+
10. Versions of the License
350+
---------------------------
351+
352+
10.1. New Versions

355+
10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
356+
publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
357+
distinguishing version number.
358+
359+
10.2. Effect of New Versions
360+
361+
You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
362+

or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
364+
steward.
365+
366+
10.3. Modified Versions
367+
368+
If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
369+
create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
370+
modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
371+
any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
372+
such modified license differs from this License).
373+
374+
10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
375+
Licenses
376+
377+
If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
378+
Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
379+
notice described in Exhibit B of this License must be attached.
380+

390+
file in a relevant directory) where a recipient would be likely to look
391+
for such a notice.
392+
393+
