1. Definitions
|
2017-11-19 14:21:19 -08:00
|
|
|
The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works," and "distribution"
|
|
|
|
|
have the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law. A "contribution" is
|
|
|
|
|
the original software, or any additions or changes to the software. A
|
|
|
|
|
"contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this
|
|
|
|
|
license. "Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read
|
|
|
|
|
directly on its contribution.

2. Grant of Rights
|
|
|
|
|
(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the
|
|
|
|
|
license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants
|
|
|
|
|
you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to
|
|
|
|
|
reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution,
|
|
|
|
|
and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the
|
|
|
|
|
license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants
|
|
|
|
|
you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed
|
|
|
|
|
patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works
|
|
|
|
|
of the contribution in the software.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Conditions and Limitations
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that
|
|
|
|
|
you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such
|
|
|
|
|
contributor to the software ends automatically.

|
|
|
|
|
you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of
|
|
|
|
|
this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the
|
|
|
|
|
software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a
|
|
|
|
|
license that complies with this license.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness
|
|
|
|
|
for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
