**1. Definitions**
------------------

The terms “reproduce,” “reproduction” and “distribution” have the same
meaning here as under U.S. copyright law.

“You” means the licensee of the software.

“Licensed patents” means any Microsoft patent claims which read directly
on the software as distributed by Microsoft under this license.

**2. Grant of Rights**
----------------------

(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the
license conditions and limitations in section 3, Microsoft grants you a

the software, prepare derivative works of the software and distribute
the software or any derivative works that you create.

(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the
license conditions and limitations in section 3, Microsoft grants you a

**3. Conditions and Limitations**
---------------------------------

(A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you any rights to
use Microsoft’s name, logo, or trademarks.

(B) If you begin patent litigation against Microsoft over patents that
you think may apply to the software (including a cross-claim or
counterclaim in a lawsuit), your license to the software ends
automatically.

(C) If you distribute copies of the software or derivative works, you
must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices
that are present in the software.

distribute the software or derivative works in compiled or object code
form you may only do so under a license that complies with this license.

(E) The software is licensed “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it.
Microsoft gives no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may
have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license
cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, Microsoft
excludes the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a
particular purpose and non-infringement.
