| 5 | +## Acceptance |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree |
| 8 | +to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all |
| 9 | +your licenses. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +## Copyright License |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +The licensor grants you a copyright license for the |
| 14 | +software to do everything you might do with the software |
| 15 | +that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright |
| 16 | +in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may |
| 17 | +only distribute the software according to [Distribution |
| 18 | +License](#distribution-license) and make changes or new works |
| 19 | +based on the software according to [Changes and New Works |
| 20 | +License](#changes-and-new-works-license). |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +## Distribution License |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +The licensor grants you an additional copyright license |
| 25 | +to distribute copies of the software. Your license |
| 26 | +to distribute covers distributing the software with |
| 27 | +changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works |
| 28 | +License](#changes-and-new-works-license). |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +## Notices |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of |
| 33 | +the software from you also gets a copy of these terms or the |
| 34 | +URL for them above, as well as copies of any plain-text lines |
| 35 | +beginning with `Required Notice:` that the licensor provided |
| 36 | +with the software. For example: |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +> Required Notice: Copyright Yoyodyne, Inc. (http://example.com) |
| 39 | +
|
| 40 | +## Changes and New Works License |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to |
| 43 | +make changes and new works based on the software for any |
| 44 | +permitted purpose. |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## Patent License |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that |
| 49 | +covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able |
| 50 | +to license, that you would infringe by using the software. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +## Noncompete |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any |
| 55 | +product that competes with the software or any product the |
| 56 | +licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software. |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +## Competition |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +Goods and services compete even when they provide functionality |
| 61 | +through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical |
| 62 | +platforms. Applications can compete with services, libraries |
| 63 | +with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on, |
| 64 | +even if they're written in different programming languages |
| 65 | +or for different computer architectures. Goods and services |
| 66 | +compete even when provided free of charge. If you market a |
| 67 | +product as a practical substitute for the software or another |
| 68 | +product, it definitely competes. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +## New Products |
| 71 | + |
| 72 | +If you are using the software to provide a product that does |
| 73 | +not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings |
| 74 | +your product into competition by providing a new version of |
| 75 | +the software or another product using the software, you may |
| 76 | +continue using versions of the software available under these |
| 77 | +terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not |
| 78 | +any later versions. |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +## Discontinued Products |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +You may begin using the software to compete with a product |
| 83 | +or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has |
| 84 | +stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text |
| 85 | +line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the |
| 86 | +software that mentions that line of business. For example: |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +> Licensor Line of Business: YoyodyneCMS Content Management |
| 89 | +System (http://example.com/cms) |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +## Sales of Business |
| 92 | + |
| 93 | +If the licensor or any of its affiliates sells a line of |
| 94 | +business developing the software or using the software |
| 95 | +to provide a product, the buyer can also enforce |
| 96 | +[Noncompete](#noncompete) for that product. |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +## Fair Use |
| 99 | + |
| 100 | +You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the |
| 101 | +law. These terms do not limit them. |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## No Other Rights |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of |
| 106 | +your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from |
| 107 | +granting licenses to anyone else. These terms do not imply |
| 108 | +any other licenses. |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +## Patent Defense |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +If you make any written claim that the software infringes or |
| 113 | +contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license |
| 114 | +for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If |
| 115 | +your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends |
| 116 | +immediately for work on behalf of your company. |
| 117 | + |
| 118 | +## Violations |
| 119 | + |
| 120 | +The first time you are notified in writing that you have |
| 121 | +violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software |
| 122 | +not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless |
| 123 | +continue if you come into full compliance with these terms, |
| 124 | +and take practical steps to correct past violations, within |
| 125 | +32 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses |
| 126 | +end immediately. |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +## No Liability |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without |
| 131 | +any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable |
| 132 | +to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use |
| 133 | +or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.*** |
