"Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or Object form,
|
||||
made available under the License, as indicated by a copyright notice that is
|
||||
included in or attached to the work (an example is provided in the Appendix
|
||||
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, "submitted" means any form of electronic, verbal, or
|
||||
written communication sent to the Licensor or its representatives, including
|
||||
but not limited to communication on electronic mailing lists, source code
|
||||
control systems, and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf
|
||||
of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but

|
||||
|
||||
"Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity on behalf

||||

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

||||
