class='definedterm'> =
## Acceptance =
In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree =
to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all =
your licenses. =
## Copyright License =
The licensor grants you a copyright license for the =
software to do everything you might do with the software =
that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright =
in it for any permitted purpose. However, you may =
only distribute the software according to [Distribution =
License](#distribution-license) and make changes or new works =
based on the software according to [Changes and New Works =
License](#changes-and-new-works-license). =
## Distribution License =
The licensor grants you an additional copyright license =
to distribute copies of the software. Your license =
to distribute covers distributing the software with =
changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works =
License](#changes-and-new-works-license). =

product that competes with the software or any product the =

through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical =
platforms. Applications can compete with services, libraries =
with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on, =
even if they're written in different programming languages =
or for different computer architectures. Goods and services =
compete even when provided free of charge. If you market a =
product as a practical substitute for the software or another =
product, it definitely competes. =
## New Products =
If you are using the software to provide a product that does =
not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings =
your product into competition by providing a new version of =
the software or another product using the software, you may =

terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not =
any later versions. =
## Discontinued Products =
You may begin using the software to compete with a product =
or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has =
stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text =
line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the =

System (http://example.com/cms) =
## Sales of Business =
If the licensor or any of its affiliates sells a line of =
business developing the software or using the software =
to provide a product, the buyer can also enforce =
[Noncompete](#noncompete) for that product. =
## Fair Use =
You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the =
law. These terms do not limit them. =
## No Other Rights =
These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of =
your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from =
granting licenses to anyone else. These terms do not imply =
any other licenses. =
## Patent Defense =
If you make any written claim that the software infringes or =
contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license =
for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If =
your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends =
immediately for work on behalf of your company. =
## Violations =
The first time you are notified in writing that you have =
violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software =
not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless =
continue if you come into full compliance with these terms, =
and take practical steps to correct past violations, within =
32 days of receiving notice. Otherwise, all your licenses =
end immediately. =
## No Liability =
***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without =
any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable =
to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use =
or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.*** =
