patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling,

offering for sale, or importing the Program or any

portion of it.

11. Patents.
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who

authorizes use under this License of the Program

or a work on which the Program is based. The work

thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor

version”.

A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all

patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor,

whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,

that would be infringed by some manner, permitted

by this License, of making, using, or selling its

contributor version, but do not include claims

that would be infringed only as a consequence

of further modifi cation of the contributor version.

For purposes of this defi nition, “control” includes

the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner

consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive,

worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the

contributor’s essential patent claims, to make,

use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise

run, modify and propagate the contents of its

contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a “patent

license” is any express agreement or commitment,

however denominated, not to enforce a patent

(such as an express permission to practice a patent

or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).

To “grant” such a patent license to a party means

to make such an agreement or commitment not to

enforce a patent against the party.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly

relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding

Source of the work is not available for anyone to

copy, free of charge and under the terms of this

License, through a publicly available network server

or other readily accessible means, then you must

either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so

available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the

benefi t of the patent license for this particular work,

or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the

requirements of this License, to extend the patent

license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly

relying” means you have actual knowledge that,

but for the patent license, your conveying the

covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of

the covered work in a country, would infringe one

or more identifi able patents in that country that you

have reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single

transaction or arrangement, you convey, or

propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered

work, and grant a patent license to some of the

parties receiving the covered work authorizing

them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specifi c

copy of the covered work, then the patent license

you grant is automatically extended to all recipients

of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does

not include within the scope of its coverage,

prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the

non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are

specifi cally granted under this License. You may

not convey a covered work if you are a party to

an arrangement with a third party that is in the

business of distributing software, under which you

make payment to the third party based on the extent

of your activity of conveying the work, and under

which the third party grants, to any of the parties

who would receive the covered work from you, a

discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with

copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or

copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily

for and in connection with specifi c products or

compilations that contain the covered work, unless

you entered into that arrangement, or that patent

license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as

excluding or limiting any implied license or other

defenses to infringement that may otherwise be

available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether

by court order, agreement or otherwise) that

contradict the conditions of this License, they do

not excuse you from the conditions of this License.

If you cannot convey a covered work so as to

satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this

License and any other pertinent obligations, then

as a consequence you may not convey it at all.

For example, if you agree to terms that obligate

you to collect a royalty for further conveying from

those to whom you convey the Program, the only

way you could satisfy both those terms and this

License would be to refrain entirely from conveying

the Program.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public

License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this

License, you have permission to link or combine any

covered work with a work licensed under version

3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a

single combined work, and to convey the resulting

work. The terms of this License will continue to

apply to the part which is the covered work, but

the special requirements of the GNU Affero General

Public License, section 13, concerning interaction

through a network will apply to the combination

as such.
