and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

3. Grant of Patent License.

3.1 Grant of Patent License for study, testing and research purposes:

Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor and 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, and otherwise transfer (excluding selling) the

3.2 Grant of Patent License for purposes other than study, testing and research:

For purposes other than study, testing and research, and subject to the terms
and conditions of this License, You commit to be prepared to negotiate, in good
faith, a non-exclusive, nontransferable, non-assignable license of Essential
Patents with each Contributor and/or the Licensor on Fair, Reasonable and
Non-Discriminatory (“FRAND”) terms and conditions for the use of the Work or
Contribution(s) incorporated within the Work.

3.3 Patent Litigation

If You institute patent litigation against any entity making use of the Work
solely for study, testing and research purposes (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 the
patent licenses granted to You under section 3.1 of this License for that Work
shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

4. Sublicensing

You may grant sublicenses under the licenses granted under sections 2 and 3.1

rights under this License to which the Work is or was distributed.

5. Redistribution

Subject to terms and conditions set forth in sections 2 and 3, 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 by You 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.

6. Submission of Contributions.

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 such as the
Contributor License Agreement You may have executed with Licensor regarding such
Contributions.

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 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 Licensor and any
Contributor, as such, 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 Your 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.

10. 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/or the Licensor,
and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor and/or the
Licensor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against,
such Contributor and/or Licensor by reason of Your accepting any such warranty
or additional liability obligations.
