  40. of any patent claims other than the Licensed Claims defined in Section 2.
  41. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are included

  46. of the Original Work or Derivative Works in any way such that the Original
  47. Work or Derivative Works may be accessed or used by anyone other than You,

  49. made available as an application intended for use over a computer network,
  50. or used to provide services or otherwise deliver content to anyone other than
  51. You. As an express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You agree

  58. OWNER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEEDING SENTENCE,
  59. THE ORIGINAL WORK IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT
  60. WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WARRANTY
  61. OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND WARRANTIES THAT THE ORIGINAL WORK IS MERCHANTABLE
  62. OR FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE

  74. SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
  75. PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.
  76. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL

  82. the terms of this License (or another written agreement between Licensor and
  83. You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of
  84. other countries, and by international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any
  85. of the rights granted to You in Sections 1 and 2 herein, You indicate Your
  86. acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions. This license

  89. 1(c) herein.
  90. 9) Mutual Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate automatically
  91. and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License
  92. if You file a lawsuit in any court alleging that any OSI Certified open source
  93. software that is licensed under any license containing this "Mutual Termination
  94. for Patent Action" clause infringes any patent claims that are essential to
  95. use that software.
  96. 10) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. You agree that any lawsuit arising
  97. under or relating to this License shall be maintained in the courts of the
  98. jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its
  99. primary business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law
  100. provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
  101. for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the
  102. Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination shall
  103. be subject to the requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17
  104. U.S.C. § 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international
  105. treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.

  107. seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
  108. recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
  109. attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, including
  110. any appeal of such action. This section shall survive the termination of this
  111. License.
  112. 12) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning
  113. the subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
  114. unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary
  115. to make it enforceable.
  116. 13) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License, whether
  117. in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity exercising rights
  118. under, and complying with all of the terms of, this License. For legal entities,
  119. "You" includes any entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common
