thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works") based upon the Original

terms and conditions, including Licensor's reserved rights and remedies, in this 
Academic Free License;

e) to display the Original Work publicly.

2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, 
non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims owned or controlled by

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).

6) Attribution Rights. 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 patent rights granted herein by 
Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed to You under the terms of 
this License with the permission of the contributor(s) of those copyrights and 
patent rights. Except as expressly 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

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

License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of this 
License and all of its terms and conditions. If You distribute or communicate 
copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable 
effort under the circumstances to 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 Work, and doing so without honoring these terms and 
conditions is prohibited by copyright law and international treaty. Nothing in 
this License is intended to affect copyright exceptions and limitations

patent. This termination provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent 
infringement by combinations of the Original Work with other software or
