+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

+or conditions of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the

+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.
