"Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or Object form, | |

"Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object form, | |

Works thereof. | |
"Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including the original | |

**<a name="copyright">2. Grant of Copyright License</a>**. Subject to the | |
terms and conditions of this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You | |
a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable | |
copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of, publicly | |
display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the Work and such | |
Derivative Works in Source or Object form. | |
**<a name="patent">3. Grant of Patent License</a>**. Subject to the terms | |

perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable | |
(except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made, use, | |
offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work, where such | |
license applies only to those patent claims licensable by such Contributor | |
that are necessarily infringed by their Contribution(s) alone or by | |
combination of their Contribution(s) with the Work to which such | |
Contribution(s) was submitted. If You institute patent litigation against | |
any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging | |
that the Work or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes | |
direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses | |
granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the | |
date such litigation is filed. | |
**<a name="redistribution">4. Redistribution</a>**. You may reproduce and | |
distribute copies of the Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, | |

You meet the following conditions: | |
1. You must give any other recipients of the Work or Derivative Works a | |
copy of this License; and | |
1. You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices stating | |
that You changed the files; and | |
1. You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works that You | |
distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices from | |
the Source form of the Work, excluding those notices that do not pertain to | |
any part of the Derivative Works; and | |
1. If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its distribution, | |
then 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 complies with the conditions stated in | |
this License. | |
**<a name="contributions">5. Submission of Contributions</a>**. Unless You | |
explicitly state otherwise, any Contribution intentionally submitted for | |

conditions of this License, without any additional terms or conditions. | |
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the | |
terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed with Licensor | |
regarding such Contributions. | |

applicable law or agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and | |
each Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT | |
WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied, including, | |
without limitation, any warranties or conditions of TITLE, | |
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You | |
are solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using or | |
redistributing the Work and assume any risks associated with Your exercise | |
of permissions under this License. | |
**<a name="no-liability">8. Limitation of Liability</a>**. 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. | |
**<a name="additional">9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability</a>**. | |
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. | |

<div class="headline"><h4>Apache Flex® Trademarks</h4></div> | |
The Apache Software Foundation holds trademarks on behalf of its | |
projects. For the Apache Flex® project these trademarks include | |
the names Apache Flex® and Flex®, as well as the | |
graphical logo. Use of these marks is prohibited without explicit | |
permission from the ASF. | |
However, the Apache Flex® project is happy to work with 3rd | |
parties who desire to use these trademarks in ways that are beneficial | |
to the project, which do not imply endorsement by ASF, and which are | |
fully in conformance with Apache policies. | |
To request such permission, follow these steps: | |
<ul class="check_list"> | |
<li>First familiarize yourself with the [Apache Trademark Policy] [1]. | |
Many of the common cases are already addressed there. And some uses | |
of ASF marks ("nominative use") are automatically allowed.</li> | |
<li>Email a proposal to [private@flex.apache.org] [2]. In the | |
proposal, please include:<ul class="plus_list"> | |
<li>Name and contact information of the company, organization or person | |
requesting the permission</li> | |
<li>A list of what ASF controlled marks you wish to use</li> | |
<li>A description of how these marks would be used. Give supporting | |
detail, along with context If you are requesting use of the logo, for | |
example, provide a prototype of how the logo would appear in the | |
context of the overall design.</li> | |
<li>Any other information you think would be useful, e.g., any impeding deadlines</li> | |
</ul></li> | |
<li>On receipt of the proposal, the Apache Flex PMC will review | |
and decide whether or not to recommend approval.</li> | |
<li>If the PMC recommends approval, then they will forward their | |
recommendation, along with your proposal and any follow up | |
communications, to the Apache V.P. of Brand Management for final | |
approval.</li> | |
<li>We will then notify you of the outcome.</li> | |
</ul> | |
