-
-2.2. Effective Date
-
-     The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
-     become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
-     distributes such Contribution.
-
-2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
-
-     The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
-     this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
-     distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
-     Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
-     Contributor:
-
-     a. for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software; or
-
-     b. for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
-        modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
-        Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
-        Version); or
-
-     c. under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
-        its Contributions.
-
-     This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
-     or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
-     the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
-
-2.4. Subsequent Licenses
-
-     No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
-     distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
-     License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
-     permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
-
-2.5. Representation

-     Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
-     Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights to
-     grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
-
-2.6. Fair Use
-
-     This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
-     applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
-     equivalents.
-
-2.7. Conditions
-
-     Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted in
-     Section 2.1.
-
-
-3. Responsibilities
-
-3.1. Distribution of Source Form
-
-     All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
-     Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
-     the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
-     Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
-     License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
-     attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
-     Form.
-
-3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
-
-     If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
-
-     a. such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code Form,
-        as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of the
-        Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code Form by
-        reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more than the cost
-        of distribution to the recipient; and
-
-     b. You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
-        License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
-        license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter the
-        recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
-
-3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
-
-     You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
-     provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
-     the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
-     Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
-     Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
-     License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
-     under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
-     the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
-     Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
-     License(s).
-
-3.4. Notices
-
-     You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
-     (including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty, or
-     limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of the
-     Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to the
-     extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
-
-3.5. Application of Additional Terms
-
-     You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
-     indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
-     Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
-     behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
-     such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
-     You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
-     liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
-     indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
-     disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
-     jurisdiction.
-
-4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
-
-   If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License
-   with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to statute,
-   judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of
-   this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the
-   limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be placed in a
-   text file included with all distributions of the Covered Software under
-   this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation,
-   such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary
-   skill to be able to understand it.
-
-5. Termination
-
-5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically if You
-     fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become compliant,
-     then the rights granted under this License from a particular Contributor
-     are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such Contributor
-     explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an ongoing
-     basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the non-compliance by
-     some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have come back into
-     compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular Contributor are
-     reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies You of the
-     non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the first time You have
-     received notice of non-compliance with this License from such
-     Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after Your receipt
-     of the notice.
-
-5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
-     infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
-     counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
-     directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
-     You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
-     2.1 of this License shall terminate.
-
-5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all end user
-     license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been
-     validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License prior to
-     termination shall survive termination.
-
-6. Disclaimer of Warranty
-
-   Covered Software is provided under this License on an "as is" basis,
-   without warranty of any kind, either expressed, implied, or statutory,
-   including, without limitation, warranties that the Covered Software is free
-   of defects, merchantable, fit for a particular purpose or non-infringing.
-   The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the Covered Software
-   is with You. Should any Covered Software prove defective in any respect,
-   You (not any Contributor) assume the cost of any necessary servicing,
-   repair, or correction. This disclaimer of warranty constitutes an essential
-   part of this License. No use of  any Covered Software is authorized under
-   this License except under this disclaimer.
-
-7. Limitation of Liability
-
-   Under no circumstances and under no legal theory, whether tort (including
-   negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall any Contributor, or anyone who
-   distributes Covered Software as permitted above, be liable to You for any
-   direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any
-   character including, without limitation, damages for lost profits, loss of
-   goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-   other commercial damages or losses, even if such party shall have been
-   informed of the possibility of such damages. This limitation of liability
-   shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from
-   such party's negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such
-   limitation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
-   incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may
-   not apply to You.
-
-8. Litigation
-
-   Any litigation relating to this License may be brought only in the courts
-   of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of
-   business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
-   jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions. Nothing
-   in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring cross-claims or
-   counter-claims.
-
-9. Miscellaneous
-
-   This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
-   matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
-   unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
-   necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides that
-   the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not
-   be used to construe this License against a Contributor.
-
-
-10. Versions of the License
-
-10.1. New Versions
-
-      Mozilla Foundation is the license steward. Except as provided in Section
-      10.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify or
-      publish new versions of this License. Each version will be given a
-      distinguishing version number.
-
-10.2. Effect of New Versions
-
-      You may distribute the Covered Software under the terms of the version
-      of the License under which You originally received the Covered Software,
-      or under the terms of any subsequent version published by the license
-      steward.
-
-10.3. Modified Versions
-
-      If you create software not governed by this License, and you want to
