    72    environment (with regard to the software and data components), in particular
    73    to store or load it permanently or temporarily, to display it and run it,
    74    including to the extent reproductions are necessary to that end,
    75  - to otherwise modify, interpret, edit or redesign it,
    76  - to store, reproduce, exhibit, publish, distribute it in tangible or intangible
    77    form, on any medium or in any other way, for commercial and non-commercial
    78    purposes, in particular to communicate it privately or publicly, including via

    91  The foregoing right of use relates to the Subject Matter of the License, in
    92  particular to its Source and Object form of software components (including
    93  design rights, where applicable).
    94  
    95  §3 Grant of patent license
    96  
    97  Subject to the terms and conditions of this License and compliance with the
    98  provisions of this License, You are hereby granted by each Contributor a 
    99  - royalty-free and non-exclusive,
   100  - worldwide and perpetual,
   101  - irrevocable (with the exception of the restrictions set out in this Section 3)
   102  
   103  patent license in all rights deriving from the patents, owned and licensable by
   104  the Contributor at the time of the submission of the Contribution, to
   105  
   106  - produce,
   107  - have produced,
   108  - use,
   109  - offer for sale,
   110  - sell,
   111  - import and otherwise transfer
   112

   114  
   115  However, said patent license shall cover only those rights deriving from the
   116  patents of the respective Contributors which are indispensable in order not to
   117  infringe that patent and only to the extent that the use of the Contributor’s
   118  respective Contributions, whether alone or in combination with other
   119  Contributions of the Contributors or any third parties together with the Subject
   120  Matter of the License for which these Contributions were submitted, would
   121  otherwise infringe that patent. The grant of license shall not include rights
   122  deriving from the patents which may in future become necessary for their lawful
   123  use due to subsequent modifications to the Subject Matter or Contributions made
   124  by third parties after the original submission.
   125  
   126  In the event that You institute patent litigation against any entity or person
   127  (including a counterclaim or countersuit in a legal action), alleging that the
   128  Subject Matter of the License or a Contribution incorporated or contained
   129  therein constitutes patent infringement or indirect infringement, all patent
   130  licenses which have been granted to You under this License for the Subject
   131  Matter of the License as well as this License itself shall be deemed terminated
   132  as of the date on which the action is filed.
   133  
   134  §4 Distribution
   135  
   136  You may reproduce and distribute copies of the Subject Matter of the License or
   137  Derivative Works on any medium, with or without modifications (with regard to
   138  software components in Source or Object form), provided that You comply with
   139  the following rules:
   140  
   141  - You must provide all other recipients of the Subject Matter of the License or
   142    of Derivative Works with a copy of this License and inform them that the
   143    Subject Matter of the License was originally licensed under this License.
   144  - You must ensure that modified files contain prominent notices indicating that
   145    You have modified the files.
   146  - You must retain all copyright, patent, trademark and attribution notices in
   147    the Subject Matter of the License in the Source form of any Derivative Works
   148    You distribute, with the exception of those notices that do not pertain to any
   149    part of the Derivative Works.
   150  
   151  You may add Your own copyright notices to Your modifications and state any
   152  additional or different license conditions and conditions for the use,
   153  reproduction or distribution of Your modifications or for those Derivative Works
   154  as a whole, provided that Your use, reproduction and distribution of the work
   155  complies with the terms and conditions set out in this License in all other
   156  respects.
   157  
   158  §5 Submission of Contributions
   159  
   160  Unless expressly stated otherwise, every Contribution that You have
   161  intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Subject Matter of the License is
   162  subject to this License without any additional terms or conditions applying.
   163  Irrespective of the above, none of the terms or conditions contained herein may
   164  be interpreted to supersede or modify the terms or conditions of any separate
   165  licensing agreement that You may have concluded with a Licensor for such
   166  Contributions, such as a so-called "Contributor License Agreement" (CLA).
   167  
   168  §6 Trademarks
   169  
   170  This License does not grant permission to use the trade names, trademarks,
   171  service marks or product names of the Licensor(s) or of a Contributor.
   172  
   173  §7 Limited warranty
   174  
   175  This License is granted free of charge and thus constitutes a gift. Accordingly,
   176  any warranty is excluded. The Subject Matter of the License is a work in
   177  progress; it is constantly being improved by countless Contributors. The Subject
   178  Matter of the License is not complete and may therefore contain errors ("bugs")
   179  or additional patents of Contributors or third parties, as is inherent in this
   180  type of development.
   181  
   182  §8 Limitation of liability
   183  
   184  Except in cases of intentional and grossly negligent conduct, the Contributors,
   185  their legal representatives, trustees, officers and employees shall not be
   186  liable for direct or indirect, material or immaterial loss or damage of any kind
   187  arising from the License or the use of the Subject Matter of the License; this
   188  applies, among other things, but not exclusively, to loss of goodwill, loss of
   189  production, computer failures or errors, loss of data or economic loss or
   190  damage, even if the Contributor has been notified of the possibility of such
   191  loss or damage. Irrespective of the above, the Licensor shall only be liable
   192  within the scope of statutory product liability to the extent that the
   193  respective provisions are applicable to the Subject Matter of the License or the
   194  Contribution.
   195  
   196  Except in cases of intentional conduct, the Contributors, their legal
   197  representatives, trustees, officers and employees shall not be liable for any
   198  infringement of third-party patent or intellectual property rights arising from
   199  the Contributions nor do they warrant that the Contributions are accurate,
   200  devoid of mistakes, complete and/or fit for any particular purpose.
   201  
   202  §9 Provision of warranties or assumption of additional liability in the event of
   203  distribution of the Subject Matter of the License
   204  
   205  In the event of distribution of the Subject Matter of the License or Derivative
   206  Works, You are free to accept support, warranty, indemnity or other liability
   207  obligations and/or rights consistent with this License and to charge a fee in
   208  return. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your own
   209  behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any other Contributor,
   210  and You hereby agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each Contributor harmless
   211  for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by
   212  reason of Your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
   213  
   214  §10 Applicable law
   215  
   216  This License is governed by German law, excluding its conflict of laws
   217  provisions and the provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the
   218  International Sale of Goods (CISG).
