+1) Contributor will participate in and contribute to the development
+of specifications, standards, best practices, guidelines, and other
+similar materials under this Working Group, and 2) how the materials
+developed under this License may be used. It is not intended for source
+code. Capitalized terms are defined in the License’s last section.
+
+1. Copyright.
+
+1.1. Copyright License. Contributor grants everyone a non-sublicensable,
+perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+(except as expressly stated in this License) copyright license, without
+any obligation for accounting, to reproduce, prepare derivative works
+of, publicly display, publicly perform, and distribute any materials
+it submits to the full extent of its copyright interest in those
+materials. Contributor also acknowledges that the Working Group may
+exercise copyright rights in the Specification, including the rights to
+submit the Specification to another standards organization.
+
+1.2. Copyright Attribution. As a condition, anyone exercising this
+copyright license must include attribution to the Working Group in any
+derivative work based on materials developed by the Working Group.
+That attribution must include, at minimum, the material’s name,
+version number, and source from where the materials were retrieved.
+Attribution is not required for implementations of the Specification.
+
+2. Patents.
+
+2.1. Patent License.
+
+2.1.1. As a Result of Contributions.
+
+2.1.1.1. As a Result of Contributions to Draft Specifications.
+Contributor grants Licensee a non-sublicensable, perpetual, worldwide,
+non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable (except as
+expressly stated in this License) license to its Necessary Claims in 1)
+Contributor’s Contributions and 2) to the Draft Specification that
+is within Scope as of the date of that Contribution, in both cases for
+Licensee’s Implementation of the Draft Specification, except for those
+patent claims excluded by Contributor under Section 3.
+
+2.1.1.2. For Approved Specifications. Contributor grants Licensee a
+non-sublicensable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
+royalty-free, irrevocable (except as expressly stated in this License)
+license to its Necessary Claims included the Approved Specification
+that are within Scope for Licensee’s Implementation of the Approved
+Specification, except for those patent claims excluded by Contributor
+under Section 3.
+
+2.1.2. Patent Grant from Licensee. Licensee grants each other Licensee
+a non-sublicensable, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge,
+royalty-free, irrevocable (except as expressly stated in this License)
+license to its Necessary Claims for its Implementation, except for those
+patent claims excluded under Section 3.
+
+2.1.3. Licensee Acceptance. The patent grants set forth in Section 2.1
+extend only to Licensees that have indicated their agreement to this
+License as follows:
+
+2.1.3.1. Source Code Distributions. For distribution in source code,
+by including this License in the root directory of the source code with
+the Implementation;
+
+2.1.3.2. Non-Source Code Distributions. For distribution in any form
+other than source code, by including this License in the documentation,
+legal notices, via notice in the software, and/or other written materials
+provided with the Implementation; or
+
+2.1.3.3. Via Notices.md. By issuing pull request or commit to the
+Specification’s repository’s Notices.md file by the Implementer’s
+authorized representative, including the Implementer’s name, authorized
+individual and system identifier, and Specification version.
+
+2.1.4. Defensive Termination. If any Licensee files or maintains a
+claim in a court asserting that a Necessary Claim is infringed by an
+Implementation, any licenses granted under this License to the Licensee
+are immediately terminated unless 1) that claim is directly in response
+to a claim against Licensee regarding an Implementation, or 2) that claim
+was brought to enforce the terms of this License, including intervention
+in a third-party action by a Licensee.
+
+2.1.5. Additional Conditions. This License is not an assurance (i)
+that any of Contributor’s copyrights or issued patent claims cover
+an Implementation of the Specification or are enforceable or (ii) that
+an Implementation of the Specification would not infringe intellectual
+property rights of any third party.
+
+2.2. Patent Licensing Commitment. In addition to the rights granted
+in Section 2.1, Contributor agrees to grant everyone a no charge,
+royalty-free license on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms
+to Contributor’s Necessary Claims that are within Scope for:
+1) Implementations of a Draft Specification, where such license
+applies only to those Necessary Claims infringed by implementing
+Contributor's Contribution(s) included in that Draft Specification,
+and 2) Implementations of the Approved Specification.
+
+This patent licensing commitment does not apply to those claims subject
+to Contributor’s Exclusion Notice under Section 3.
+
+2.3. Effect of Withdrawal. Contributor may withdraw from the Working Group
+by issuing a pull request or commit providing notice of withdrawal to
+the Working Group repository’s Notices.md file. All of Contributor’s
+existing commitments and obligations with respect to the Working Group
+up to the date of that withdrawal notice will remain in effect, but no
+new obligations will be incurred.
+
+2.4. Binding Encumbrance. This License is binding on any future owner,
+assignee, or party who has been given the right to enforce any Necessary
+Claims against third parties.
+
+3. Patent Exclusion.
+
+3.1. As a Result of Contributions. Contributor may exclude Necessary
+Claims from its licensing commitments incurred under Section 2.1.1
+by issuing an Exclusion Notice within 45 days of the date of that
+Contribution. Contributor may not issue an Exclusion Notice for any
+material that has been included in a Draft Deliverable for more than 45
+days prior to the date of that Contribution.
+
+3.2. As a Result of a Draft Specification Becoming an Approved
+Specification. Prior to the adoption of a Draft Specification as an
+Approved Specification, Contributor may exclude Necessary Claims from
+its licensing commitments under this Agreement by issuing an Exclusion
+Notice. Contributor may not issue an Exclusion Notice for patents that
+were eligible to have been excluded pursuant to Section 3.1.
+
+4. Source Code License. Any source code developed by the Working Group is
+solely subject the source code license included in the Working Group’s
+repository for that code. If no source code license is included, the
+source code will be subject to the MIT License.
+
+5. No Other Rights. Except as specifically set forth in this License, no
+other express or implied patent, trademark, copyright, or other rights are
+granted under this License, including by implication, waiver, or estoppel.
+
+6. Antitrust Compliance. Contributor acknowledge that it may compete
+with other participants in various lines of business and that it is
+therefore imperative that they and their respective representatives
+act in a manner that does not violate any applicable antitrust laws and
+regulations. This License does not restrict any Contributor from engaging
+in similar specification development projects. Each Contributor may
+design, develop, manufacture, acquire or market competitive deliverables,
+products, and services, and conduct its business, in whatever way it
+chooses. No Contributor is obligated to announce or market any products
+or services. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
+Contributors agree not to have any discussion relating to any product
+pricing, methods or channels of product distribution, division of markets,
+allocation of customers or any other topic that should not be discussed
+among competitors under the auspices of the Working Group.
+
+7. Non-Circumvention. Contributor agrees that it will not intentionally
+take or willfully assist any third party to take any action for the
+purpose of circumventing any obligations under this License.
+
+8. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers.
+
+8.1. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimers. Contributor and Licensee
+represents and warrants that 1) it is legally entitled to grant the
+rights set forth in this License and 2) it will not intentionally include
+any third party materials in any Contribution unless those materials are
+available under terms that do not conflict with this License. IN ALL OTHER
+RESPECTS ITS CONTRIBUTIONS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." The entire risk as to
+implementing or otherwise using the Contribution or the Specification
+is assumed by the implementer and user. Except as stated herein,
+CONTRIBUTOR AND LICENSEE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES (EXPRESS,
+IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
+NON-INFRINGEMENT, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, CONDITIONS OF QUALITY,
+OR TITLE, RELATED TO THE CONTRIBUTION OR THE SPECIFICATION. IN NO EVENT
+WILL ANY PARTY BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY
+FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF
+ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO
+THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING
+NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT THE OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
+ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Any obligations regarding
+the transfer, successors in interest, or assignment of Necessary Claims
+will be satisfied if Contributor or Licensee notifies the transferee
+or assignee of any patent that it knows contains Necessary Claims or
+necessary claims under this License. Nothing in this License requires
+Contributor to undertake a patent search. If Contributor is 1) employed by
+or acting on behalf of an employer, 2) is making a Contribution under the
+direction or control of a third party, or 3) is making the Contribution
+as a consultant, contractor, or under another similar relationship with
+a third party, Contributor represents that they have been authorized by
+that party to enter into this License on its behalf.
+
+8.2. Distribution Disclaimer. Any distributions of technical
+information to third parties must include a notice materially similar
+to the following: “THESE MATERIALS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” The
+Contributors and Licensees expressly disclaim any warranties (express,
+implied, or otherwise), including implied warranties of merchantability,
+non-infringement, fitness for a particular purpose, or title, related to
+the materials. The entire risk as to implementing or otherwise using the
+materials is assumed by the implementer and user. IN NO EVENT WILL THE
+CONTRIBUTORS OR LICENSEES BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS
+OR ANY FORM OF INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
+OF ANY CHARACTER FROM ANY CAUSES OF ACTION OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO
+THIS DELIVERABLE OR ITS GOVERNING AGREEMENT, WHETHER BASED ON BREACH OF
+CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT
+THE OTHER MEMBER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.”
