  2. Grant of Copyright License


  Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby
  grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
  irrevocable copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
  publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and
  such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
   
  3. Grant of Patent License


  Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby
  grants to You a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free,
  irrevocable (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have

  such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such
  Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or
  by combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such
  Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against any
  entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
  the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct or
  contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to You
  under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such
  litigation is filed.

  thereof in any medium, with or without modifications, and in Source or Object
  form, provided that You meet the following conditions:


  4.1  Use Restrictions


  The Work or Derivative Works thereof may be used free of charge within the
  geographic extent defined in clause 4.2. The use is limited to the Your own
  purposes, but not for resale and not for purposes that may infringe on or
  negatively impact health, safety, environmental protection, and/or fundamental
  rights such as the right to human dignity, respect for private and family
  life, protection of personal data, freedom of expression and information,
  freedom of assembly and of association, and non-discrimination, consumer
  protection and the specific rights protecting children.


  4.2  Geographical Restriction


  Only organizations having residence or registered main office in the Nordic
  countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland) are permitted to use
  the Work or Derivative Works thereof without additional consent, provided they
  comply with the other terms of this License.


  4.3  Attribution


  You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a copy of
  this License; and


  You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating that You
  changed the files; and


  You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You
  distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from the
  Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to any
  part of the Derivative Works; and


  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
  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.
