+    --------------------------------
+
+    2.1. Grants
+
+    Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+    non-exclusive license:
+
+    (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+        Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+        modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+        Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or

+
+    (b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+        for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+        Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+    2.2. Effective Date
+
+    The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+    become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+    distributes such Contribution.
+
+    2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+    The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+    this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+    distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+    Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+    Contributor:
+
+    (a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+        or
+
+    (b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+        modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+        Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+        Version); or
+
+    (c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+        its Contributions.
+
+    This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+    or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+    the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+    2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+    No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+    distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+    License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+    permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+    2.5. Representation
+
+    Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+    Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+    to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+    2.6. Fair Use
+
+    This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+    applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+    equivalents.
+
+    2.7. Conditions
+
+    Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+    in Section 2.1.
+
+    3. Responsibilities
+    -------------------
+
+    3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+    All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+    Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+    the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+    Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+    License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+    attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+    Form.
+
+    3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+    If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+    (a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+        Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+        the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+        Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+        than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+    (b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+        License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+        license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+        the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+    3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+    You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+    provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+    the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+    Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+    Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+    License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+    under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+    the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+    Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+    License(s).
+
+    3.4. Notices
+
+    You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+    (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+    or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+    the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+    the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+    3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+    You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+    indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+    Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+    behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+    such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+    You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+    liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+    indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+    disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+    jurisdiction.
+
+    4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+    ---------------------------------------------------
+
+    If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+    License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+    statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+    the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+    describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+    be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+    Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+    or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+    recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+    5. Termination
+    --------------
+
+    5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+    if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+    compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+    Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+    Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+    ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+    non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+    come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+    Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+    notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+    first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+    from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+    Your receipt of the notice.
+
+    5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+    infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+    counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+    directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+    You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+    2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+    5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+    end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+    have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+    prior to termination shall survive termination.

+    *  Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is"       *
+    *  basis, without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or  *
+    *  statutory, including, without limitation, warranties that the       *
+    *  Covered Software is free of defects, merchantable, fit for a        *
+    *  particular purpose or non-infringing. The entire risk as to the     *

+    *  Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect, You     *
+    *  (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,   *
+    *  repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an   *

+    *                                                                      *

+    *  Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort      *
+    *  (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any           *

+    *  permitted above, be liable to You for any direct, indirect,         *
+    *  special, incidental, or consequential damages of any character      *
+    *  including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of    *

+
+    8. Litigation
+    -------------
+
+    Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the
+    courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
+    place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
+    jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
+    Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
+    cross-claims or counter-claims.
+
+    9. Miscellaneous
+    ----------------
+
+    This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+    matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+    necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
+    that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
+    shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
+
+    10. Versions of the License
+    ---------------------------
+
+    10.1. New Versions
+
+    Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
+    10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or

+    distinguishing version number.
+
+    10.2. Effect of New Versions

+    or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
+    steward.
+
+    10.3. Modified Versions
+
+    If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
+    create a new license for such software, you may create and use a
+    modified version of this License if you rename the license and remove
+    any references to the name of the license steward (except to note that
+    such modified license differs from this License).
+
+    10.4. Distributing Source Code Form that is Incompatible With Secondary
+    Licenses
+
+    If You choose to distribute Source Code Form that is Incompatible With
+    Secondary Licenses under the terms of this version of the License, the
