C. The rights granted under Paragraph B. also apply to the combination

   Patents. It does not apply to any other combinations that include a
   Modification.

D. The rights granted in Paragraphs A. and B. allow the Recipient to
   sublicense those same rights. Such sublicense must be under the same
   terms and conditions of this Agreement.

3. OBLIGATIONS OF RECIPIENT

A. Distribution or Redistribution of the Subject Software must be made
   under this Agreement except for additions covered under paragraph 3H.

   1. Whenever a Recipient distributes or redistributes the Subject
      Software, a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy
      of the Subject Software; and
   2. If Recipient distributes or redistributes the Subject Software in
      any form other than source code, Recipient must also make the
      source code freely available, and must provide with each copy of
      the Subject Software information on how to obtain the source code
      in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for
      software exchange.

B. Each Recipient must ensure that the following copyright notice
   appears prominently in the Subject Software:

   Copyright 1996-2014 United States Government as represented by the
   Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
   All Rights Reserved.

C. Each Contributor must characterize its alteration of the Subject
   Software as a Modification and must identify itself as the originator
   of its Modification in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
   Recipients to identify the originator of the Modification. In
   fulfillment of these requirements, Contributor must include a file
   (e.g., a change log file) that describes the alterations made and the
   date of the alterations, identifies Contributor as originator of the
   alterations, and consents to characterization of the alterations as a
   Modification, for example, by including a statement that the
   Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
   Software provided by Government Agency. Once consent is granted, it
   may not thereafter be revoked.

D. A Contributor may add its own copyright notice to the Subject
   Software. Once a copyright notice has been added to the Subject
   Software, a Recipient may not remove it without the express permission
   of the Contributor who added the notice.

E. A Recipient may not make any representation in the Subject Software
   or in any promotional, advertising or other material that may be
   construed as an endorsement by Government Agency or by any prior
   Recipient of any product or service provided by Recipient, or that may
   seek to obtain commercial advantage by the fact of Government Agency's
   or a prior Recipient's participation in this Agreement.

F. In an effort to track usage and maintain accurate
   records of the Subject Software, each Recipient, upon receipt of the
   Subject Software, is requested to provide Government Agency, by e-mail
   to the Government Agency Point of Contact listed in clause 5.F., the
   following information: Name and Affiliation. Recipient's
   name and personal information shall be used for statistical purposes
   only. Once a Recipient makes a Modification available, it is requested
   that the Recipient inform Government Agency, by e-mail to the
   Government Agency Point of Contact listed in clause 5.F., how to
   access the Modification.

G. Each Contributor represents that that its Modification is believed
   to be Contributor's original creation and does not violate any
   existing agreements, regulations, statutes or rules, and further that
   Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
   Agreement.

H. A Recipient may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty,
   support, indemnity and/or liability obligations to one or more other
   Recipients of the Subject Software. A Recipient may do so, however,
   only on its own behalf and not on behalf of Government Agency or any
   other Recipient. Such a Recipient must make it absolutely clear that
   any such warranty, support, indemnity and/or liability obligation is
   offered by that Recipient alone. Further, such Recipient agrees to
   indemnify Government Agency and every other Recipient for any
   liability incurred by them as a result of warranty, support, indemnity
   and/or liability offered by such Recipient.

I. A Recipient may create a Larger Work by combining Subject Software
   with separate software not governed by the terms of this agreement and
   distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such case, the
   Recipient must make sure Subject Software, or portions thereof,
   included in the Larger Work is subject to this Agreement.

J. Notwithstanding any provisions contained herein, Recipient is
   hereby put on notice that export of any goods or technical data from
   the United States may require some form of export license from the
   U.S. Government. Failure to obtain necessary export licenses may
   result in criminal liability under U.S. laws. Government Agency
   neither represents that a license shall not be required nor that, if
   required, it shall be issued. Nothing granted herein provides any
   such export license.

4. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES; WAIVER AND INDEMNIFICATION

A. No Warranty: THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT ANY
   WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY,
   INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE
   WILL CONFORM TO SPECIFICATIONS, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR FREEDOM FROM
   INFRINGEMENT, ANY WARRANTY THAT THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR
   FREE, OR ANY WARRANTY THAT DOCUMENTATION, IF PROVIDED, WILL CONFORM TO
   THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE. THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT, IN ANY MANNER,
   CONSTITUTE AN ENDORSEMENT BY GOVERNMENT AGENCY OR ANY PRIOR RECIPIENT
   OF ANY RESULTS, RESULTING DESIGNS, HARDWARE, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS OR ANY
   OTHER APPLICATIONS RESULTING FROM USE OF THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE.
   FURTHER, GOVERNMENT AGENCY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES AND LIABILITIES
   REGARDING THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, IF PRESENT IN THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE,
   AND DISTRIBUTES IT "AS IS."

B. Waiver and Indemnity: RECIPIENT AGREES TO WAIVE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS
   AGAINST THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, ITS CONTRACTORS AND
   SUBCONTRACTORS, AS WELL AS ANY PRIOR RECIPIENT. IF RECIPIENT'S USE OF
   THE SUBJECT SOFTWARE RESULTS IN ANY LIABILITIES, DEMANDS, DAMAGES,
   EXPENSES OR LOSSES ARISING FROM SUCH USE, INCLUDING ANY DAMAGES FROM
   PRODUCTS BASED ON, OR RESULTING FROM, RECIPIENT'S USE OF THE SUBJECT
   SOFTWARE, RECIPIENT SHALL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS THE UNITED
   STATES GOVERNMENT, ITS CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS, AS WELL AS ANY
   PRIOR RECIPIENT, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. RECIPIENT'S SOLE
   REMEDY FOR ANY SUCH MATTER SHALL BE THE IMMEDIATE, UNILATERAL
   TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

   termination, a Recipient agrees to immediately cease use and
   distribution of the Subject Software. All sublicenses to the Subject
   Software properly granted by the breaching Recipient shall survive any
   such termination of this Agreement.

B. Severability: If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or
   unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity
   or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement.

C. Applicable Law: This Agreement shall be subject to United States
   federal law only for all purposes, including, but not limited to,
   determining the validity of this Agreement, the meaning of its
   provisions and the rights, obligations and remedies of the parties.

   understanding and agreement of the parties relating to release of the
   Subject Software and may not be superseded, modified or amended except
   by further written agreement duly executed by the parties.
