| 96 | + |
| 97 | +Subject to the terms and conditions of this License and compliance with the |
| 98 | +provisions of this License, You are hereby granted by each Contributor a |
| 99 | +- royalty-free and non-exclusive, |
| 100 | +- worldwide and perpetual, |
| 101 | +- irrevocable (with the exception of the restrictions set out in this Section 3) |

| 118 | +respective Contributions, whether alone or in combination with other |
| 119 | +Contributions of the Contributors or any third parties together with the Subject |
| 120 | +Matter of the License for which these Contributions were submitted, would |
| 121 | +otherwise infringe that patent. The grant of license shall not include rights |
| 122 | +deriving from the patents which may in future become necessary for their lawful |
| 123 | +use due to subsequent modifications to the Subject Matter or Contributions made |
| 124 | +by third parties after the original submission. |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +In the event that You institute patent litigation against any entity or person |

| 129 | +therein constitutes patent infringement or indirect infringement, all patent |
| 130 | +licenses which have been granted to You under this License for the Subject |
| 131 | +Matter of the License as well as this License itself shall be deemed terminated |
| 132 | +as of the date on which the action is filed. |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +§4 Distribution |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Subject Matter of the License or |
| 137 | +Derivative Works on any medium, with or without modifications (with regard to |
| 138 | +software components in Source or Object form), provided that You comply with |
| 139 | +the following rules: |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +- You must provide all other recipients of the Subject Matter of the License or |
| 142 | + of Derivative Works with a copy of this License and inform them that the |
| 143 | + Subject Matter of the License was originally licensed under this License. |
| 144 | +- You must ensure that modified files contain prominent notices indicating that |
| 145 | + You have modified the files. |
| 146 | +- You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark and attribution notices in |
| 147 | + the Subject Matter of the License in the Source form of any Derivative Works |
| 148 | + You distribute, with the exception of those notices that do not pertain to any |
| 149 | + part of the Derivative Works. |
| 150 | + |
| 151 | +You may add Your own copyright notices to Your modifications and state any |
| 152 | +additional or different license conditions and conditions for the use, |
| 153 | +reproduction or distribution of Your modifications or for those Derivative Works |
| 154 | +as a whole, provided that Your use, reproduction and distribution of the work |
| 155 | +complies with the terms and conditions set out in this License in all other |
| 156 | +respects. |
| 157 | + |
| 158 | +§5 Submission of Contributions |
| 159 | + |
| 160 | +Unless expressly stated otherwise, every Contribution that You have |
| 161 | +intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Subject Matter of the License is |
| 162 | +subject to this License without any additional terms or conditions applying. |
| 163 | +Irrespective of the above, none of the terms or conditions contained herein may |
| 164 | +be interpreted to supersede or modify the terms or conditions of any separate |
| 165 | +licensing agreement that You may have concluded with a Licensor for such |
| 166 | +Contributions, such as a so-called "Contributor License Agreement" (CLA). |
| 167 | + |
| 168 | +§6 Trademarks |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks, |
| 171 | +service marks or product names of the Licensor(s) or of a Contributor. |
| 172 | + |
| 173 | +§7 Limited warranty |
| 174 | + |
| 175 | +This License is granted free of charge and thus constitutes a gift. Accordingly, |
| 176 | +any warranty is excluded. The Subject Matter of the License is a work in |
| 177 | +progress; it is constantly being improved by countless Contributors. The Subject |
| 178 | +Matter of the License is not complete and may therefore contain errors ("bugs") |
| 179 | +or additional patents of Contributors or third parties, as is inherent in this |
| 180 | +type of development. |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +§8 Limitation of liability |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +Except in cases of intentional and grossly negligent conduct, the Contributors, |
| 185 | +their legal representatives, trustees, officers and employees shall not be |
| 186 | +liable for direct or indirect, material or immaterial loss or damage of any kind |
| 187 | +arising from the License or the use of the Subject Matter of the License; this |
| 188 | +applies, among other things, but not exclusively, to loss of goodwill, loss of |
| 189 | +production, computer failures or errors, loss of data or economic loss or |
| 190 | +damage, even if the Contributor has been notified of the possibility of such |
| 191 | +loss or damage. Irrespective of the above, the Licensor shall only be liable |
| 192 | +within the scope of statutory product liability to the extent that the |
| 193 | +respective provisions are applicable to the Subject Matter of the License or the |
| 194 | +Contribution. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +Except in cases of intentional conduct, the Contributors, their legal |
| 197 | +representatives, trustees, officers and employees shall not be liable for any |
| 198 | +infringement of third-party patent or intellectual property rights arising from |
| 199 | +the Contributions nor do they warrant that the Contributions are accurate, |
| 200 | +devoid of mistakes, complete and/or fit for any particular purpose. |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +§9 Provision of warranties or assumption of additional liability in the event of |
| 203 | +distribution of the Subject Matter of the License |
| 204 | + |
| 205 | +In the event of distribution of the Subject Matter of the License or Derivative |
| 206 | +Works, You are free to accept support, warranty, indemnity or other liability |
| 207 | +obligations and/or rights consistent with this License and to charge a fee in |
| 208 | +return. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own |
| 209 | +behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor, |
| 210 | +and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless |
| 211 | +for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by |
| 212 | +reason of Your accepting any such warranty or additional liability. |
| 213 | + |
| 214 | +§10 Applicable law |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +This License is governed by German law, excluding its conflict of laws |
| 217 | +provisions and the provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the |
| 218 | +International Sale of Goods (CISG). |
