|
"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

|
|
of, the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

|
|
prepare Derivative Works of, publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense,
|
|
and distribute the Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form

|
and do anything in relation to the Work as if the Rights did not exist.
|
|
|
|
3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License,
|

|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
