The term "Source Code" means the +preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and +all available documentation describing how to access and modify the +Original Work. Licensor hereby 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, and by publishing +the address of that information repository in a notice immediately +following the copyright notice that applies to the Original Work. + +4) Exclusions From License Grant. Nothing in this License shall be +deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade +secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as +expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to make, use, +sell or offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the +Licensed Claims defined in Section 2. No right 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 different terms 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 +or distribution of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way +such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be accessed or +used by anyone other than You, whether the Original Work or Derivative +Works are distributed to those persons, made available as an +application intended for use over a computer network, or used to +provide services or otherwise deliver content to anyone other than +You.

THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT +APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH +PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH +LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR +LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION +AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. + +8) Acceptance and Termination. Nothing else but this License (or +another written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You +permission to create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, +and any attempt to do so except under the terms of this License (or +another written agreement between Licensor and You) is expressly +prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of other +countries, and by international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any +of the rights granted to You in Sections 1 and 2 herein, You indicate +Your acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. +This license shall terminate immediately and you may no longer +exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License upon Your +failure to honor the proviso in Section 1(c) herein. + +9) Mutual Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate +automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted +to You by this License if You file a lawsuit in any court alleging +that any OSI Certified open source software that is licensed under any +license containing this "Mutual Termination for Patent Action" clause +infringes any patent claims that are essential to use that software. + +10) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. You agree that any lawsuit +arising under or relating to this License shall be maintained in the +courts of the jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which +Licensor conducts its primary business, and under the laws of that +jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The application +of the United Nations Convention 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 the U.S. Copyright Act, +17 U.S.C. ยง 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and +international treaty.
