|
||
|
below).
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object form, that
|
||
|
is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the editorial revisions,
|
||
|
annotations, elaborations, or other modifications represent, as a whole, an
|
||
|
original work of authorship. For the purposes of this License, Derivative Works
|
||
|
shall not include works that remain separable from, or merely link (or bind by

||
|
name) to the interfaces of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including the original

|
2. Grant of Copyright License.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby
|
||
|
grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
|
||
|
irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
|
||
|
publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and
|
||
|
such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
|
||
|
|
||
|
3. Grant of Patent License.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby
|
||
|
grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
|
||
|
irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have
|
||
|
made, use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where
|
||
|
such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor
|
||
|
that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by combination
|
||
|
of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was
|
||
|
submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
|
||
|
cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work or a
|
||
|
Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or contributory
|
||
|
patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You under this License
|
||
|
for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. Any
|
||
|
patent license granted hereby with respect to contributions by an individual
|
||
|
employed by an institution or organization is limited to patent claims where
|
||
|
the individual that is the author of the Work is also the inventor of the
|
||
|
patent claims licensed, and where the organization or institution has the right
|
||
|
to grant such license under applicable grant and research funding agreements.
|
||
|
No other express or implied licenses are granted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
4. Redistribution.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof
|
||
|
in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object form,
|
||
|
provided that You meet the following conditions:
|
||
|
|
||
|
1. You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy
|
||
|
of this License; and
|
||
|
2. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
|
||
|
You changed the files; and
|
||
|
3. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You
|
||
|
distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from
|
||
|
the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to
|
||
|
any part of the Derivative Works; and
|
||
|
4. If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, then
|
||
|
any Derivative Works that You distribute must include a readable copy of
|
||
|
the attribution notices contained within such NOTICE file, excluding those
|
||
|
notices that do not pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at
|
||
|
least one of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed as
|
||
|
part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or documentation, if
|
||
|
provided along with the Derivative Works; or, within a display generated by
|
||
|
the Derivative Works, if and wherever such third-party notices normally
|
||
|
appear. The contents of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only
|
||
|
and do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution notices
|
||
|
within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside or as an addendum to
|
||
|
the NOTICE text from the Work, provided that such additional attribution
|
||
|
notices cannot be construed as modifying the License.
|
||
|
|
||
|
You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and may provide
|
||
|
additional or different license terms and conditions for use, reproduction, or
|
||
|
distribution of Your modifications, or for any such Derivative Works as a
|
||
|
whole, provided Your use, reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise
|
||
|
complies with the conditions stated in this License.
|
||
|
|
||
|
5. Submission of Contributions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unless You explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted
|
||
|
for inclusion in the Work by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and
|
||
|
conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
|
||
|
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms
|
||
|
of any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor regarding
|
||
|
such Contributions.
|
||
|
|
||
|
6. Trademarks.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks,
|
||
|
service marks, or product names of the Licensor, except as required for
|
||
|
reasonable and customary use in describing the origin of the Work and
|
||
|
reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
|
||
|
|
||
|
7. Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides
|
||
|
the Work (and each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
|
||
|
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied,
|
||
|
including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE,
|
||
|
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are
|
||
|
solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or
|
||
|
redistributing the Work and assume any risks associated with Your exercise of
|
||
|
permissions under this License.
|
||
|
|
||
|
8. Limitation of Liability.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence),
|
||
|
contract, or otherwise, unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate
|
||
|
and grossly negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
|
||
|
liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special, incidental,
|
||
|
or consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License
|
||
|
or out of the use or inability to use the Work (including but not limited to
|
||
|
damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction,
|
||
|
or any and all other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
|
||
|
has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
|
||
|
|
||
|
9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability.
|
||
|
|
||
|
While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to
|
||
|
offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity, or
|
||
|
other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License.
|
||
|
However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own behalf and
|
||
|
on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, and only
|
||
|
if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any
|
||
|
liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
|
||
|
of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
