+to use, copy, distribute, make available, and prepare derivative works of the software, in each case subject
+to the limitations below.
+
+### Limitations
+
+You may use or modify the software only for your own internal business purposes or for non-commercial or
+personal use. You may distribute the software or provide it to others only if you do so free of charge for
+non-commercial purposes. You may not alter, remove, or obscure any licensing, copyright, or other notices of
+the licensor in the software. Any use of the licensor’s trademarks is subject to applicable law.
+
+### Patents
+
+The licensor grants you a license, under any patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able to
+license, to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import and have imported the software, in each case
+subject to the limitations and conditions in this license. This license does not cover any patent claims that
+you cause to be infringed by modifications or additions to the software. If you or your company make any
+written claim that the software infringes or contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license
+for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If your company makes such a claim, your patent
+license ends immediately for work on behalf of your company.
+
+### Notices
+
+You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of the software from you also gets a copy of these
+terms. If you modify the software, you must include in any modified copies of the software a prominent notice
+stating that you have modified the software.
+
+### No Other Rights
+
+These terms do not imply any licenses other than those expressly granted in these terms.
+
+### Termination
+
+If you use the software in violation of these terms, such use is not licensed, and your license will
+automatically terminate. If the licensor provides you with a notice of your violation, and you cease all
+violation of this license no later than 30 days after you receive that notice, your license will be reinstated
+retroactively. However, if you violate these terms after such reinstatement, any additional violation of these
+terms will cause your license to terminate automatically and permanently.
+
+### No Liability

+As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without any warranty or condition, and the licensor will
