|
|
"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
|
|

|
Contribution."

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:
|
|
|
|
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.
