Microsoft Public License (MS-PL)

|
|
|

1. Definitions
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
(A) No Trademark License - This license does not grant you rights to use
|
|
|
|
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
|

|
|
|
|
(C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all
|
|
|
|
copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present
|
|
|

in the software.

|
|
|
(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, 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.
|
|
|
|
(E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The
|
|
|
|
contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You
|
|
|
|
may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this
|
|
|
|
license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws,
|
|
|
|
the contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability,
|
|
|
|
fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
