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 version
|
|
of the Work and any modifications or additions to that Work or Derivative
|
|
Works thereof, that is intentionally submitted to Licensor for inclusion in
|
|
the Work by the copyright owner or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized
|
|
to submit on behalf of the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition,

|
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:
|
|
|
|
a. You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy
|
|
of this License; and
|
|
|
|
b. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
|
|
You changed the files; and
|
|
|
|
c. 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
|
|
|
|
d. 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.
