Contributor (and their successors or assigns) harmless for any liability incurred by, or
claims asserted against, such Licensor or Contributor (and their successors or assigns) by
reason of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
Severability. This License Agreement is a license of copyright and patent rights and an
