+(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the

+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.

+ 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

+
+### 8. Limitation of Liability
+
+In no event and under no legal theory, whether in tort (including

+(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.
+

+
+While redistributing the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may
+choose to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty,
