Patent Defense
86+
87+
If you make any written claim that the software infringes or

contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license
89+
for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If
90+
your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends
91+
immediately for work on behalf of your company.
92+
93+
Violations
94+
95+
The first time you are notified in writing that you have
96+
violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software
97+
not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless
98+
continue if you come into full compliance with these terms,
99+
and take practical steps to correct past violations, within
100+
32 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses
101+
end immediately.
102+
103+
No Liability
104+
105+
As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without
106+
any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable
107+
to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use
108+
or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.
109+
110+
Definitions
111+
112+
The licensor is the individual or entity offering these
113+

114+
available under these terms.
115+
116+
You refers to the individual or entity agreeing to these
117+
terms.
118+
119+
Your company is any legal entity, sole proprietorship,
120+
or other kind of organization that you work for, plus all
121+
organizations that have control over, are under the control of,
122+
or are under common control with that organization. Control
123+
means ownership of substantially all the assets of an entity,
124+
or the power to direct its management and policies by vote,
125+
contract, or otherwise. Control can be direct or indirect.
126+
127+
Your licenses are all the licenses granted to you for the
128+
software under these terms.
129+
130+
Use means anything you do with the software requiring one
131+
of your licenses.
