|
|
|
|
"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

|
|
Entity authorized to submit on behalf of the copyright owner. For the

are managed by, or on behalf of, the Licensor for the purpose of discussing

|
|
Contribution."

|
|
behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
|
|
subsequently incorporated within the Work.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
