  \ to any original work of authorship (the \"Original Work\") whose owner (the \"Licensor\"\
  ) has placed the following notice immediately following the copyright notice for the Original\
  \ Work:\n\n    Licensed under the Academic Free License version 2.0\n\n1) Grant of Copyright\
  \ License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual,\
  \ sublicenseable license to do the following:\n\n    a) to reproduce the Original Work in\
  \ copies;\n\n    b) to prepare derivative works (\"Derivative Works\") based upon the Original\
  \ Work;\n\n    c) to distribute copies of the Original Work and Derivative Works to the public;\n\
  \n    d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and\n\n    e) to display the Original Work\
  \ publicly. \n\n2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,\
  \ non-exclusive, perpetual, sublicenseable license, under patent claims owned or controlled\
  \ by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as furnished by the Licensor, to\
  \ make, use, sell and offer for sale the Original Work and Derivative Works.\n\n3) 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 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.\n\n4) 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 written permission of the Licensor.\
  \ 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.\n\n5) This section intentionally omitted.\n\n6) 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.\n7)\
  \ 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 proceeding 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 warranties of NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR\
  \ PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER\
  \ OF WARRANTY constitutes an essential part of this License. No license to Original Work is\
  \ granted hereunder except under this disclaimer.\n\n8) Limitation of Liability. Under no\
  \ circumstances and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including negligence), contract,\
  \ or otherwise, shall the Licensor be liable to any person for any direct, indirect, special,\
  \ incidental, or 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 liability for death or personal\
  \ injury resulting from Licensor'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.\n\n9) Acceptance\
  \ and Termination. If You distribute 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. 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 or to exercise any of the rights granted in Section 1 herein, 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\
  \ Section 1 herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all of its terms and\
  \ conditions.\n\n10) 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 as of the\
  \ date You commence an action, including a cross-claim or counterclaim, for patent infringement\
  \ (i) against Licensor with respect to a patent applicable to software or (ii) against any\
  \ entity with respect to a patent applicable to the Original Work (but excluding combinations\
  \ of the Original Work with other software or hardware).\n\n11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing\
  \ Law. Any action or suit relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a\
  \ 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.\
  \ 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international treaty. This section\
  \ shall survive the termination of this License.\n\n12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce\
  \ the terms of this License or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall\
  \ be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable\
  \ attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, including anyluding any\
  \ appeal of such action. This section shall survive the termination of this License.\n\n13)\
  \ Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject matter\
  \ hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall\
  \ be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.\n\n14) Definition of \"\
  You\" in This License. \"You\" throughout this License, whether in upper or lower case, means\
  \ an individual or a legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms\
  \ of, this License. For legal entities, \"You\" includes any entity that controls, is controlled\
  \ by, or is under common control with you. For purposes of this definition, \"control\" means\
  \ (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the direction or management of such entity,\
  \ whether by contract or otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the\
  \ outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.\n\n15) Right to Use. You\
  \ may use the Original Work in all ways not otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License\
  \ or by law, and Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such uses by\
  \ You."
