Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, each Contributorhereby 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. 3. Grant of Patent License.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 (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 litigationagainst 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, thenany patent licenses granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.”。。。。。。 See: https://indianexpress.com/a...
