michael@1: any additional terms or conditions on the Work or Derivative Work that alter or
michael@1: restrict the terms of the Licence.
michael@1: 
michael@1: Compatibility clause: If the Licensee Distributes and/or Communicates Derivative
michael@1: Works or copies thereof based upon both the Original Work and another work
michael@1: licensed under a Compatible Licence, this Distribution and/or Communication can be
michael@1: done under the terms of this Compatible Licence. For the sake of this clause,

michael@1: Provision of Source Code: When distributing and/or communicating copies of the
michael@1: Work, the Licensee will provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code or

michael@1: 
michael@1: Legal Protection: This Licence does not grant permission to use the trade names,

michael@1: the content of the copyright notice.
michael@1: 
michael@1: 6. Chain of Authorship

michael@1: 
michael@1: 7. Disclaimer of Warranty
michael@1:

michael@1: 8. Disclaimer of Liability
michael@1: 
michael@1: Except in the cases of wilful misconduct or damages directly caused to natural
michael@1: persons, the Licensor will in no event be liable for any direct or indirect, material or
michael@1: moral, damages of any kind, arising out of the Licence or of the use of the Work,
michael@1: including without limitation, damages for loss of goodwill, work stoppage, computer
michael@1: failure or malfunction, loss of data or any commercial damage, even if the Licensor

michael@1: liable under statutory product liability laws as far such laws apply to the Work.
michael@1: 
michael@1: 9. Additional agreements
michael@1: 
michael@1: While distributing the Original Work or Derivative Works, You may choose to
michael@1: conclude an additional agreement to offer, and charge a fee for, acceptance of support,
michael@1: warranty, indemnity, or other liability obligations and/or services consistent with this
michael@1: Licence. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on your own
michael@1: behalf and on your sole responsibility, not on behalf of the original Licensor or any
michael@1: other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold each
michael@1: Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or claims asserted against such
michael@1: Contributor by the fact You have accepted any such warranty or additional liability.
