-      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,

-      and conversions to other media types.

-

-      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object

-      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the

-      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications

-      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes

-      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,

-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of

-          the Derivative Works; and

-

-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its

-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must

-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not

-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one

-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed

-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or

-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,

-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and

-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents

-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution

-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside

-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided

-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed

-          as modifying the License.

-

-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions

-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or

-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,

-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with

-      the conditions stated in this License.

-

-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,

-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work

-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of

-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.

-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed

-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

-

-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade

-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,

-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the

-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

-

-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or

-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each

-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A

-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the

-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any

-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

-

-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,

-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly

-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be

-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,

-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a

-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the

-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,

-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all

-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor

-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

-

-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing

-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,

-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this

-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only

-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf

-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,

-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability

-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason

-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-

-   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

-

-   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

-

-      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following

-      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"

-      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include

-      the brackets!)  The text should be enclosed in the appropriate

-      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a

-      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the

-      same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier

-      identification within third-party archives.

-This document and translations of it may be copied and furnished to others, and derivative works that 

-comment on or otherwise explain it or assist in its implementation may be prepared, copied, published, 

-and distributed, in whole or in part, without restriction of any kind, provided that the above copyright 

-notice and this section are included on all such copies and derivative works. However, this document 

-itself may not be modified in any way, including by removing the copyright notice or references to OASIS, 

-except as needed for the purpose of developing any document or deliverable produced by an OASIS 

-Technical Committee (in which case the rules applicable to copyrights, as set forth in the OASIS IPR 

-Policy, must be followed) or as required to translate it into languages other than English.

-The limited permissions granted above are perpetual and will not be revoked by OASIS or its successors

-OASIS requests that any OASIS Party or any other party that believes it has patent claims that would 

-necessarily be infringed by implementations of this OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS Standard, 

-to notify OASIS TC Administrator and provide an indication of its willingness to grant patent licenses to 

-such patent claims in a manner consistent with the IPR Mode of the OASIS Technical Committee that 

-produced this specification.

-OASIS invites any party to contact the OASIS TC Administrator if it is aware of a claim of ownership of 

-any patent claims that would necessarily be infringed by implementations of this specification by a patent 

-holder that is not willing to provide a license to such patent claims in a manner consistent with the IPR 

-Mode of the OASIS Technical Committee that produced this specification. OASIS may include such 

-claims on its website, but disclaims any obligation to do so.

-OASIS takes no position regarding the validity or scope of any intellectual property or other rights that 

-might be claimed to pertain to the implementation or use of the technology described in this document or 

-the extent to which any license under such rights might or might not be available; neither does it represent 

-that it has made any effort to identify any such rights. Information on OASIS' procedures with respect to 

-rights in any document or deliverable produced by an OASIS Technical Committee can be found on the 

-OASIS website. Copies of claims of rights made available for publication and any assurances of licenses 

-to be made available, or the result of an attempt made to obtain a general license or permission for the use 

-of such proprietary rights by implementers or users of this OASIS Committee Specification or OASIS 

-Standard, can be obtained from the OASIS TC Administrator. OASIS makes no representation that any 

-information or list of intellectual property rights will at any time be complete, or that any claims in such list 

-are, in fact, Essential Claims.

-The names "OASIS",  are trademarks of OASIS, the owner and developer of this specification, and should 

-be used only to refer to the organization and its official outputs. OASIS welcomes reference to, and 

-implementation and use of, specifications, while reserving the right to enforce its marks against misleading 

-uses. Please see http://www.oasis-open.org/who/trademark.php for above guidance.
