1. Definitions
"Licensor" means any person or entity that distributes its Work.
"Software" means the original work of authorship made available under
this
License.
"Work" means the Software and any additions to or derivative works of the
Software that are made available under this License.
The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works,"
and
"distribution"
have the meaning as provided under U.S. copyright law; provided,
however, that
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.
Works, including the Software, are "made available" under this License by
including in or with the Work either (a) a copyright notice
referencing the
applicability of this License to the Work, or (b) a copy of this
License.
2. License Grants
2.1 Copyright Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
License, each
Licensor grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free,
copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly
display,
publicly perform, sublicense and distribute its Work and any
resulting
derivative works in any form.
2.2 Patent Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
License, each
Licensor grants to you a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive,
royalty-free
patent license to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import,
and
otherwise transfer its Work, in whole or in part. The foregoing
license applies
only to the patent claims licensable by Licensor that would be
infringed by
Licensor's Work (or portion thereof) individually and excluding
any
combinations with any other materials or technology.
3. Limitations
3.1 Redistribution. You may reproduce or distribute the Work only if
(a) you do
so under this License, (b) you include a complete copy of this
License with

copyright,
patent, trademark, or attribution notices that are present in the Work.
3.2 Derivative Works. You may specify that additional or different
terms apply
to the use, reproduction, and distribution of your derivative works
of the Work
("Your Terms") only if (a) Your Terms provide that the use
limitation in
Section 3.3 applies to your derivative works, and (b) you identify
the specific
derivative works that are subject to Your Terms. Notwithstanding Your
Terms,
this License (including the redistribution requirements in Section
3.1) will

may be used
or intended for use with the web services, computing platforms or

LLC.
3.4 Patent Claims. If you bring or threaten to bring a patent claim
against any
Licensor (including any claim, cross-claim or counterclaim in a
lawsuit) to
enforce any patents that you allege are infringed by any Work, then
your rights
under this License from such Licensor (including the grants in
Sections 2.1 and
2.2) will terminate immediately.

TITLE OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT. YOU BEAR THE RISK OF UNDERTAKING ANY ACTIVITIES
UNDER THIS
LICENSE. SOME STATES' CONSUMER LAWS DO NOT ALLOW EXCLUSION OF AN

5. Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
IN NO EVENT
AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER IN TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE),
CONTRACT, OR
OTHERWISE SHALL ANY LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
