Microsoft Permissive License (Ms-PL) | |
This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the | |
software, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license, do | |
not use the software. | |
1. Definitions | |
The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works," and | |
"distribution" have the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law. | |
A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to | |
the software. | |
A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this | |
license. | |
"Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly | |
on its contribution. | |
2. Grant of Rights | |
(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the | |
license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants | |
you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to | |
reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, | |
and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create. | |
(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the | |
license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants | |
you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed | |
patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or | |
otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works | |
of the contribution in the software. | |
3. Conditions and Limitations | |
(A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use | |
any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks. | |
(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that | |
you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such | |
contributor to the software ends automatically. | |
(C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all | |
copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in | |
the software. | |
(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you | |
may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this | |
license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the | |
software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a | |
license that complies with this license. | |
(E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The | |
contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may | |
have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license | |
cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the | |
contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness | |
for a particular purpose and non-infringement. | |
(F) If you distribute the software or derivative works with programs you | |
develop, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless all | |
contributors from any claims, including attorneys' fees, related to the | |
distribution or use of your programs. For clarity, you have no such | |
obligations to a contributor for any claims based solely on the unmodified | |
contributions of that contributor. | |
(G) If you make any additions or changes to the original software, you | |
may only distribute them under a new namespace. In addition, you will | |
clearly identify your changes or additions as your own. | |
