-###################################
-
-This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any original work of
-authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has placed the

-
-Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable
-license, for the duration of the copyright, to do the following:
-
- *a)* to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part of
- a collective work;
-
- *b)* to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the
- Original Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works")
- based upon the Original Work;
-
- *c)* to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and
- Derivative Works to the public, *with the proviso that copies of Original
- Work or Derivative Works that You distribute or communicate shall be

-2) Grant of Patent License
-**************************
-
-Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable
-license, under patent claims owned or controlled by the Licensor that are
-embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, for the duration
-of the patents, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the
-Original Work and Derivative Works.
-
-
-*******************************
-3) Grant of Source Code License
-*******************************
-
-The term "Source Code" means the preferred form of the Original Work for
-making modifications to it and all available documentation describing how to
-modify the Original Work. Licensor agrees to provide a machine-readable copy
-of the Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original
-Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this
-obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an
-information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and
-convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the
-Original Work.
-
-
-********************************
-4) Exclusions From License Grant
-********************************
-
-Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names of any contributors to the
-Original Work, nor any of their trademarks or service marks, may be used to
-endorse or promote products derived from this Original Work without express
-prior permission of the Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing
-in this License grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights,
-patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property. No patent license
-is granted to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, or import
-embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in
-Section 2) No license is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such
-marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be
-interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under terms different from
-this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to
-license.
-
-
-**********************
-5) External Deployment
-**********************
-
-The term "External Deployment" means the use, distribution, or communication
-of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way such that the Original
-Work or Derivative Works may be used by anyone other than You, whether those
-works are distributed or communicated to those persons or made available as an
-application intended for use over a network. As an express condition for the
-grants of license hereunder, You must treat any External Deployment by You of
-the Original Work or a Derivative Work as a distribution under section 1(c).

-You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative Works that You create,
-all copyright, patent, or trademark notices from the Source Code of the
-Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and any descriptive text
-identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code
-for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution
-Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the
-Original Work.

-****************************************************
-7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty
-****************************************************
-
-Licensor warrants that the copyright in and to the Original Work and the

-sublicensed to You under the terms of this License with the permission of the

-stated in the immediately preceding sentence, the Original Work is provided
-under this License on an "AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or
-implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of non-infringement,
-merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
-QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY
-constitutes an essential part of this License. No license to the Original Work
-is granted by this License except under this disclaimer.
-
-

-**************************
-
-Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including
-negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to anyone
-for any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any
-character arising as a result of this License or the use of the Original Work
-including, without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage,
-computer failure or malfunction, or any and all other commercial damages or
-losses. This limitation of liability shall not apply to the extent applicable
-law prohibits such limitation.

-obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License. This
-License conditions your rights to undertake the activities listed in Section
-1, including your right to create Derivative Works based upon the Original

-on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any
-use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its
-termination shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of copyright or
-patent law in the appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive the
-termination of this License.
