+ *   assign [$$54] <- [$$ps.getField(1)] -- |UNPARTITIONED|

+ *     data-scan []<-[$$49, $$ls] <- test.LakeSetG -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *       empty-tuple-source -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *
+ * Becomes,
+ *
+ * join (and(spatial-intersect(st-mbr-enlarge($$54, 1), st-mbr($$55)), lt(st-distance($$54, $$55), 1))) -- |UNPARTITIONED|

+ *       empty-tuple-source -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *
+ * st-mbr() computes the mbr of a Geometry, and st-mbr-enlarge() computes the mbr of a Geometry and extending

+ *     <li>st_crosses</li>
+ *     <li>st_within</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ *
+ * For example:<br/>
+ *
+ * join (st-intersects($$50, $$51)) -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *   assign [$$50] <- [$$ps.getField(1)] -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *     data-scan []<-[$$47, $$ps] <- test.ParkSetG -- |UNPARTITIONED|

+ *   assign [$$51] <- [$$ls.getField(1)] -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *     data-scan []<-[$$48, $$ls] <- test.LakeSetG -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *       empty-tuple-source -- |UNPARTITIONED|

+ *       empty-tuple-source -- |UNPARTITIONED|
+ *
+ *  st-mbr($x, $y) computes the mbr of the geometry and returns rectangles to pass it spatial_intersect($x, $y)
+ *
+ *  The /*+ spatial-partitioning(x1, y1, x2, y2, row, col) &#42;/ annotation allows users to define the MBR and
+ *  grid size (row,col) which are used for partitioning. If the query does not have an annotation, the MBR is computed

- * ...
- * assign [$$00] <- [$$r.getField("personalInfo").getField("age")]

- * data-scan []<-[$$r] <- ParquetDataverse.ParquetDataset project (personalInfo.age, salary)

+ * ...
+ * assign [$$00] <- [$$r.getField("personalInfo").getField("age")]

+ * ...
+ * data-scan []<-[$$r] <- ParquetDataverse.ParquetDataset project ({personalInfo:{age: VALUE},salary:VALUE})

+#### <a id="Rollup">ROLLUP</a>
+
+The `ROLLUP` subclause is an aggregation feature that extends the functionality of the `GROUP BY` clause.
+It returns extra _super-aggregate_ items in the query results, giving subtotals and a grand total for the aggregate
+functions in the query.
+To illustrate, first consider the following query.
+
+##### Example
+
+(Q3.R1) List the number of orders, grouped by customer region and city.
+
+    SELECT customer_region AS Region,
+           customer_city AS City,
+           COUNT(o.orderno) AS `Order Count`
+    FROM customers AS c LEFT OUTER JOIN orders AS o ON c.custid = o.custid
+    LET address_line = SPLIT(c.address.city, ","),
+        customer_city = TRIM(address_line[0]),
+        customer_region = TRIM(address_line[1])
+    GROUP BY customer_region, customer_city
+    ORDER BY customer_region ASC, customer_city ASC, `Order Count` DESC;
+
+Result:
+
+    [
+      {
+        "Region": "Italy",
+        "City": "Rome",
+        "Order Count": 0
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MA",
+        "City": "Boston",
+        "Order Count": 2
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MA",
+        "City": "Hanover",
+        "Order Count": 0
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MO",
+        "City": "St. Louis",
+        "Order Count": 7
+      }
+    ]
+
+This query uses string functions to split each customer's address into city and region.
+The query then counts the total number of orders placed by each customer, and groups the results first by customer
+region, then by customer city.
+The aggregate results (labeled `Order Count`) are only shown by city, and there are no subtotals or grand total.
+We can add these using the `ROLLUP` subclause, as in the following example.
+
+##### Example
+
+(Q3.R2) List the number of orders by customer region and city, including subtotals and a grand total.
+
+    SELECT customer_region AS Region,
+           customer_city AS City,
+           COUNT(o.orderno) AS `Order Count`
+    FROM customers AS c LEFT OUTER JOIN orders AS o ON c.custid = o.custid

+        customer_city = TRIM(address_line[0]),
+        customer_region = TRIM(address_line[1])
+    GROUP BY ROLLUP(customer_region, customer_city)
+    ORDER BY customer_region ASC, customer_city ASC, `Order Count` DESC;
+
+Result:
+
+    [
+      {
+        "Region": null,
+        "City": null,
+        "Order Count": 9
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "Italy",
+        "City": null,
+        "Order Count": 0
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "Italy",
+        "City": "Rome",
+        "Order Count": 0
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MA",
+        "City": null,
+        "Order Count": 2
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MA",
+        "City": "Boston",
+        "Order Count": 2
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MA",
+        "City": "Hanover",
+        "Order Count": 0
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MO",
+        "City": null,
+        "Order Count": 7
+      },
+      {
+        "Region": "MO",
+        "City": "St. Louis",
+        "Order Count": 7
+      }
+    ]
+
+With the addition of the `ROLLUP` subclause, the results now include an extra item at the start of each region,
+giving the subtotal for that region.
+There is also another extra item at the very start of the results, giving the grand total for all regions.
+
+The order of the fields specified by the `ROLLUP` subclause determines the hierarchy of the super-aggregate items.
+The customer region is specified first, followed by the customer city; so the results are aggregated by region first,
+and then by city within each region.
+
+The grand total returns `null` as a value for the city and the region, and the subtotals return `null` as the
+value for the city, which may make the results hard to understand at first glance.
+A workaround for this is given in the next example.
+
+##### Example
+
+(Q3.R3) List the number of orders by customer region and city, with meaningful subtotals and grand total.
+
+    SELECT IFNULL(customer_region, "All regions") AS Region,

+        "Order Count": 7
+      }
+    ]
+
+This query uses the `IFNULL` function to populate the region and city fields with meaningful values for the
+super-aggregate items.
+This makes the results clearer and more readable.
+
+#### <a id="Cube">CUBE</a>
+
+The `CUBE` subclause is similar to the `ROLLUP` subclause, in that it returns extra super-aggregate items in the query
+results, giving subtotals and a grand total for the aggregate functions.
+Whereas `ROLLUP` returns a grand total and a hierarchy of subtotals based on the specified fields,
+the `CUBE` subclause returns a grand total and subtotals for every possible combination of the specified fields.
+
+The following example is a modification of Q3.R3 which illustrates the `CUBE` subclause.
+
+##### Example
+
+(Q3.C) List the number of orders by customer region and order date, with all possible subtotals and a grand total.
+
+    SELECT IFNULL(customer_region, "All regions") AS Region,
+           IFNULL(order_month, "All months") AS Month,
+           COUNT(o.orderno) AS `Order Count`
+    FROM customers AS c INNER JOIN orders AS o ON c.custid = o.custid
+    LET address_line = SPLIT(c.address.city, ","),
+        customer_region = TRIM(address_line[1]),
+        order_month = get_month(date(o.order_date))
+    GROUP BY CUBE(customer_region, order_month)
+    ORDER BY customer_region ASC, order_month ASC;
+
+Result:
+
+    [
+      {
+        "Region": "All regions",
+        "Order Count": 9,

+        "Order Count": 2,
+        "Month": 10
+      }
+    ]
+
+To simplify the results, this query uses an inner join, so that customers who have not placed an order are not included
+in the totals.
+The query uses string functions to extract the region from each customer's address,
+and a temporal function to extract the year from the order date.
+
+The query uses the `CUBE` subclause with customer region and order month.
+This means that there are four possible aggregates to calculate:
+
+* All regions, all months
+* All regions, each month
+* Each region, all months
+* Each region, each month
+
+The results start with the grand total, showing the total number of orders across all regions for all months.
+This is followed by date subtotals, showing the number of orders across all regions for each month.
+Following that are the regional subtotals, showing the total number of orders for all months in each region;
+and the result items, giving the number of orders for each month in each region.
+
+The query also uses the `IFNULL` function to populate the region and date fields with meaningful values for the
+super-aggregate items.
+This makes the results clearer and more readable.

+## <a id="spatial_joins">Spatial Joins</a>
+AsterixDB supports efficient spatial join query performance.
+In particular, it will execute the [Partition Based Spatial-Merge Join](http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~dewitt/includes/paradise/spjoin.pdf).
+(PBSM) algorithm for the join queries with a spatial function in join condition.
+
+Supported spatial functions:
+- `spatial_intersect(ARectangle, ARectangle)`.
+- ESRI's spatial functions: `st_intersects()`, `st_overlaps()`, `st_touches()`, `st_contains()`, `st_crosses()`, `st_within()`, `st_distance()`.
+
+Once the join condition contains a supported spatial function, users do not need to do any further action to trigger this efficient query plan.
+
+### <a id="spatial_partitioning_hint">Using a spatial partitioning hint</a>
+PBSM algorithm requires the following information to partition data into a grid:
+- The MBR of two input datasets.
+- Number of rows and columns of the grid.
+
+By default, the MBR will be computed at running time and the grid size is 100x100.
+However, users can also set other values for these parameters using spatial partitioning hint.
+
+##### Spatial partitioning hint example
+In this example, assume that MBR of two input datasets is (-180.0, -83.0, 180.0, 90.0) and grid size is 10x10.
+
+
+    /*+ spatial-partitioning(-180.0, -83.0, 180.0, 90.0, 10, 10) */

+## <a id="Introduction">Introduction</a>
+ 
+To support standard GIS objects in AsterixDB, you need to use the `geometry` data type as follows.
+
+```
+DROP dataverse GeoJSON if exists;
+CREATE  dataverse GeoJSON;
+
+USE GeoJSON;
+
+CREATE TYPE GeometryType AS{
+  id : int,
+  myGeometry : geometry
+};
+
+CREATE DATASET Geometries (GeometryType) PRIMARY KEY id;
+```
+
+Please note that even though the [SRID](http://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/10.3/manage-data/using-sql-with-gdbs/what-is-an-srid.htm)
+input is supported for certain functions and is represented internally in the correct manner the serialized result (printed in the output) displays the SRID as 4326 always because of the limitations in Esri API.
+

+## <a id="Introduction">Introduction</a>
+ This page provides a simple guide to the OGC-compliant geometry functionality in AsterixDB. Internally, AsterixDB relies on the open source library [Esri/geometry-api-java](https://github.com/Esri/geometry-api-java) that provides OGC-geometry feature processing. Currently, the AsterixDB geometry library supports
+ [GeoJSON](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7946), [Well known Text](http://docs.opengeospatial.org/is/12-063r5/12-063r5.html)
+ and [Well known Binary formats](http://portal.opengeospatial.org/files/?artifact_id=25354).
+ For a complete list of all the functions, please check the [AsterixDB GIS functions page](functions.md).
+ Here are some detailed examples.

- * <code>RCFile</code>s, short of Record Columnar File, are flat files

- * partitions rows horizontally into row splits. and then it vertically
- * partitions each row split in a columnar way. RCFile first stores the meta
- * data of a row split, as the key part of a record, and all the data of a row
- * split as the value part. When writing, RCFile.Writer first holds records'
- * value bytes in memory, and determines a row split if the raw bytes size of
- * buffered records overflow a given parameter<tt>Writer.columnsBufferSize</tt>,
- * which can be set like: <code>conf.setInt(COLUMNS_BUFFER_SIZE_CONF_STR,
-          4 * 1024 * 1024)</code> .

+/**
+ * Printer for the Lossless-ADM-JSON format.
+ * <p/>
+ * Format specification:
+ * <p/>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Record is printed as JSON object
+ * <li>Array or multiset is printed as JSON array
+ * <li>Primitive types are printed as JSON strings in the following format: {@code "TC:encoded_value"}. <br/>
+ *     TC is a two-character type code returned by {@link ATypeTag#serialize()} printed in hexadecimal format, <br/>
+ *     ':' is a separator character, <br/>
+ *     {@code encoded_value} is a type-specific text. <br/>
+ *     This is a generic primitive type encoding that works for all primitive types.
+ *     Null, Boolean, Int64, and String types types are printed in their special simplified form describe below.
+ *     Lossless-ADM-JSON parser is supposed to read both forms for these types: generic and simplified.
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p/>
+ * encoded_value format in the generic form:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Int8, Int16, Int32: integer number
+ * <li>Float, Double: integer number corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layout</li>
+ * <li>Date: integer number returned by {@link ADate#getChrononTimeInDays()}</li>
+ * <li>Time: integer number returned by {@link ATime#getChrononTime()}</li>
+ * <li>DateTime: integer number returned by {@link ADateTime#getChrononTime()} </li>
+ * <li>YearMonthDuration: integer number returned by {@link AYearMonthDuration#getMonths()}</li>
+ * <li>DayTimeDuration: integer number returned by {@link ADayTimeDuration#getMilliseconds()}</li>
+ * <li>Duration: int1:int2, where int1 is {@link ADuration#getMonths()} and int2 is {@link ADuration#getMilliseconds()}</li>
+ * <li>Binary: {@link ABinary#getBytes()} encoded as Base64</li>
+ * <li>UUID: textual form produced by {@link AUUID#appendLiteralOnly(Appendable)}</li>
+ * <li>Missing: N/A. The two character type code (TC) is sufficient to encode this type. ':' separator character is not printed</li>
+ * <li>Point: int1:int2, where int1 and int2 are integer numbers corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layout of
+ *     {@link APoint#getX()} and {@link APoint#getY()}</li>
+ * <li>Point3D: int1:int2:int3, where int1 and int2, and int3 are integer numbers corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layouts of
+ *     {@link APoint3D#getX()} and {@link APoint3D#getY()}, and {@link APoint3D#getZ()}</li>
+ * <li>Circle: int1:int2:int3 - integer numbers corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layouts of {@link ACircle#getP()} (getX()/getY()) and {@link ACircle#getRadius()}</li>
+ * <li>Line: int1:int2:int3:int4 - integer numbers corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layouts of {@link ALine#getP1()} (getX(), getY()) and {@link ALine#getP2()} (getX(), getY())</li>
+ * <li>Rectangle:  int1:int2:int3:int4 - integer numbers corresponding to IEEE 754 floating-point layouts of {@link ARectangle#getP1()} (getX(), getY()) and {@link ARectangle#getP2()} (getX(), getY())</li></li>
+ * <li>Polygon: int0:int1:int2:..intN - integer numbers where int0 is the number of points and each subsequent integer pair corresponds to IEEE 754 floating-point layouts of each point returned by {@link APolygon#getPoints()}</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * Simplified form for {@code Null}, {@code Boolean}, {@code Int64}, and {@code String} types:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Null is printed as JSON null
+ * <li>Boolean value is printed as JSON boolean
+ * <li>Int64 value is printed as JSON number
+ * <li>String value is printed as ":string_text". Empty string is printed as "".
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * Generic encoded_value form for {@code Null}, {@code Boolean}, {@code Int64}, and {@code String} types
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>Null: N/A. The two character type code (TC) is sufficient to encode this type. ':' separator character is not printed</li>
+ * <li>Boolean: integer number. 0=false, non-0=true
+ * <li>Int64: integer number
+ * <li>String: string text as is
+ * </ul>

+      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 litigation against 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, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,

+
+      "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+      exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+      source, and configuration files.
+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+      the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+      to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+      excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright 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
+      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 litigation against 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, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices

+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained

+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.

+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,

+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

+      submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+      or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+      the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+      means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+      to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+      communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+      and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+      Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but

+      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+      subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+   2. Grant of Copyright 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
+      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 litigation against 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, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:

+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.

+
+      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+      and conversions to other media types.
+
+      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work

+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

+
+      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and

+
+   2. Grant of Copyright 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
+      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.
+

+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against 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, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You

+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one

+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and

+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

+    (a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or
+    trademark) Licensable by Contributor to use, reproduce, modify,
+    display, perform, sublicense and distribute the Modifications
+    created by such Contributor (or portions thereof), either on an
+    unmodified basis, with other Modifications, as Covered Software
+    and/or as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+    (b) under Patent Claims infringed by the making, using, or selling
+    of Modifications made by that Contributor either alone and/or in
+    combination with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
+    combination), to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, and/or
+    otherwise dispose of: (1) Modifications made by that Contributor (or
+    portions thereof); and (2) the combination of Modifications made by
+    that Contributor with its Contributor Version (or portions of such
+    combination).
+
+    (c) The licenses granted in Sections 2.2(a) and 2.2(b) are effective
+    on the date Contributor first distributes or otherwise makes the
+    Modifications available to a third party.
+
+    (d) Notwithstanding Section 2.2(b) above, no patent license is
+    granted: (1) for any code that Contributor has deleted from the
+    Contributor Version; (2) for infringements caused by: (i) third
+    party modifications of Contributor Version, or (ii) the combination
+    of Modifications made by that Contributor with other software
+    (except as part of the Contributor Version) or other devices; or (3)
+    under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    Modifications made by that Contributor.
+
+3. Distribution Obligations.
+
+    3.1. Availability of Source Code.
+
+    Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available
+    in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form
+    and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms
+    of this License. You must include a copy of this License with every
+    copy of the Source Code form of the Covered Software You distribute
+    or otherwise make available. You must inform recipients of any such
+    Covered Software in Executable form as to how they can obtain such
+    Covered Software in Source Code form in a reasonable manner on or
+    through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+
+    3.2. Modifications.
+
+    The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
+    governed by the terms of this License. You represent that You
+    believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or You
+    have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.
+
+    3.3. Required Notices.
+
+    You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
+    identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification. You may not
+    remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices contained
+    within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing or any
+    descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or the
+    Initial Developer.
+
+    3.4. Application of Additional Terms.
+
+    You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
+    Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version of
+    this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. You may choose to
+    offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or
+    liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Software.
+    However, you may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of
+    the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it
+    absolutely clear that any such warranty, support, indemnity or
+    liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree
+    to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any
+    liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a
+    result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
+
+    3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.
+
+    You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software under
+    the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of Your
+    choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
+    provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
+    and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to
+    limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from
+    the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Covered
+    Software in Executable form under a different license, You must make
+    it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License
+    are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or
+    Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and
+    every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial
+    Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.
+
+    3.6. Larger Works.
+
+    You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
+    other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute
+    the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make
+    sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered
+    Software.
+
+4. Versions of the License.
+
+    4.1. New Versions.
+
+    Oracle is the initial license steward and may publish revised and/or
+    new versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be
+    given a distinguishing version number. Except as provided in Section
+    4.3, no one other than the license steward has the right to modify
+    this License.
+
+    4.2. Effect of New Versions.
+
+    You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
+    Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
+    License under which You originally received the Covered Software. If
+    the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original Software
+    prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made available
+    under any subsequent version of the License, You must distribute and
+    make the Covered Software available under the terms of the version
+    of the License under which You originally received the Covered
+    Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or
+    otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of any
+    subsequent version of the License published by the license steward.
+
+    4.3. Modified Versions.
+
+    When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
+    license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a
+    modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license and
+    remove any references to the name of the license steward (except to
+    note that the license differs from this License); and (b) otherwise
+    make it clear that the license contains terms which differ from this
+    License.
+
+5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
+
+    COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
+    WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
+    INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED SOFTWARE
+    IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
+    NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
+    THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE
+    DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY
+    OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING,
+    REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN
+    ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS
+    AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
+
+6. TERMINATION.
+
+    6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
+    automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
+    cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
+    Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the
+    termination of this License shall survive.
+
+    6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
+    declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
+    Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
+    assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that the
+    Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where the
+    Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where the
+    Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
+    infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
+    indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if the
+    Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors under
+    Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice
+    from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically at the
+    expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within such 60
+    day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the Participant
+    Software against such Participant either unilaterally or pursuant to
+    a written agreement with Participant.
+
+    6.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
+    alleging that the Participant Software directly or indirectly
+    infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by
+    license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
+    infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
+    granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
+    into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
+    license.
+
+    6.4. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
+    all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
+    distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
+    granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.
+
+7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
+
+    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
+    (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
+    INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
+    COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE
+    TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
+    CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
+    LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER
+    FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR
+    LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE
+    POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT
+    APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH
+    PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH
+    LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR
+    LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION
+    AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
+
+8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
+
+    The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined
+    in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
+    software" (as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §
+    252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software documentation"
+    as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent
+    with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4
+    (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software
+    with only those rights set forth herein. This U.S. Government Rights
+    clause is in lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other
+    clause or provision that addresses Government rights in computer
+    software under this License.
+
+9. MISCELLANEOUS.
+
+    This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
+    matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
+    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+    necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
+    the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained within
+    the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law, if any,
+    provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's conflict-of-law
+    provisions. Any litigation relating to this License shall be subject
+    to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the jurisdiction and
+    venue specified in a notice contained within the Original Software,
+    with the losing party responsible for costs, including, without
+    limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
+    The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
+    the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or
+    regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be
+    construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License. You
+    agree that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
+    States export administration regulations (and the export control
+    laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use, distribute
+    or otherwise make available any Covered Software.
+
+10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
+
+    As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
+    responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
+    out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
+    work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
+    responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
+    shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

+  The GNU General Public License (GPL) Version 2, June 1991
+
+Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor
+Boston, MA 02110-1335
+USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
+share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
+intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
+make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
+License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and
+to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
+Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General
+Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
+Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
+freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
+service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
+want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
+free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
+to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
+restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis
+or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.
+You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
+And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
+We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
+individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
+proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
+be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
+notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
+the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers
+to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means
+either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
+to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
+verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
+(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
+"modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
+the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
+covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
+(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
+is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
+code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
+and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
+and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
+this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
+recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
+it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
+such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
+that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
+    thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
+    under the terms of this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
+    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
+    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
+    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
+    (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not
+    normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program
+    is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
+can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
+the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
+License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
+whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
+storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
+scope of this License.
+
+3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
+    and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost
+    of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
+    distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
+    only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
+    program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
+    accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
+means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
+compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
+exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
+normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
+components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
+which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
+executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
+to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
+the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
+code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
+along with the object code.
+
+4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
+to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
+automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
+who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will
+not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in
+full compliance.
+
+5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
+its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
+Program or works based on it.
+
+6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
+on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
+responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
+
+7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
+so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
+any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
+distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
+not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
+receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
+could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
+distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
+by public license practices. Many people have made generous
+contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
+system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
+the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
+software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
+a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
+add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
+countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
+not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
+limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
+versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
+versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and
+conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
+the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
+number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
+Free Software Foundation.
+
+10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
+author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
+Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
+sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
+two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
+software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+NO WARRANTY
+
+11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
+WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
+EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
+OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
+EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
+ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
+YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
+NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
+WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
+AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
+DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
+DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
+(INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
+INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
+THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
+OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
+attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
+the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
+"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
+    Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your

+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
+may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
+with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library
+General Public License instead of this License.
+
+#
+
+Certain source files distributed by Oracle America, Inc. and/or its
+affiliates are subject to the following clarification and special
+exception to the GPLv2, based on the GNU Project exception for its
+Classpath libraries, known as the GNU Classpath Exception, but only
+where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's
+header the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to
+the "Classpath" exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file
+that accompanied this code."
+
+You should also note that Oracle includes multiple, independent
+programs in this software package. Some of those programs are provided
+under licenses deemed incompatible with the GPLv2 by the Free Software
+Foundation and others.  For example, the package includes programs
+licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0.  Such programs are
+licensed to you under their original licenses.
+
+Oracle facilitates your further distribution of this package by adding
+the Classpath Exception to the necessary parts of its GPLv2 code, which
+permits you to use that code in combination with other independent
+modules not licensed under the GPLv2.  However, note that this would
+not permit you to commingle code under an incompatible license with
+Oracle's GPLv2 licensed code by, for example, cutting and pasting such
+code into a file also containing Oracle's GPLv2 licensed code and then
+distributing the result.  Additionally, if you were to remove the
+Classpath Exception from any of the files to which it applies and
+distribute the result, you would likely be required to license some or
+all of the other code in that distribution under the GPLv2 as well, and
+since the GPLv2 is incompatible with the license terms of some items
+included in the distribution by Oracle, removing the Classpath
+Exception could therefore effectively compromise your ability to
+further distribute the package.
+
+Proceed with caution and we recommend that you obtain the advice of a
+lawyer skilled in open source matters before removing the Classpath
+Exception or making modifications to this package which may
+subsequently be redistributed and/or involve the use of third party
+software.
+
+CLASSPATH EXCEPTION
+Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is
+making a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms and
+conditions of the GNU General Public License version 2 cover the whole
+combination.
+
+As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
+permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
+executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent
+modules, and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under
+terms of your choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked
+independent module, the terms and conditions of the license of that
+module.  An independent module is a module which is not derived from or
+based on this library.  If you modify this library, you may extend this
+exception to your version of the library, but you are not obligated to
+do so.  If you do not wish to do so, delete this exception statement
+from your version.

+The Checker Framework
+Copyright 2004-present by the Checker Framework developers
+
+
+Most of the Checker Framework is licensed under the GNU General Public
+License, version 2 (GPL2), with the classpath exception.  The text of this
+license appears below.  This is the same license used for OpenJDK.
+
+A few parts of the Checker Framework have more permissive licenses, notably
+the parts that you might want to include with your own program.
+
+ * The annotations and utility files are licensed under the MIT License.
+   (The text of this license also appears below.)  This applies to
+   checker-qual*.jar and checker-util.jar and all the files that appear in
+   them, which is all files in checker-qual and checker-util directories.
+   It also applies to the cleanroom implementations of
+   third-party annotations (in checker/src/testannotations/,
+   framework/src/main/java/org/jmlspecs/, and
+   framework/src/main/java/com/google/).
+
+The Checker Framework includes annotations for some libraries.  Those in
+.astub files use the MIT License.  Those in https://github.com/typetools/jdk
+(which appears in the annotated-jdk directory of file checker.jar) use the
+GPL2 license.
+
+Some external libraries that are included with the Checker Framework
+distribution have different licenses.  Here are some examples.
+
+ * JavaParser is dual licensed under the LGPL or the Apache license -- you
+   may use it under whichever one you want.  (The JavaParser source code
+   contains a file with the text of the GPL, but it is not clear why, since
+   JavaParser does not use the GPL.)  See
+   https://github.com/typetools/stubparser .
+
+ * Annotation Tools (https://github.com/typetools/annotation-tools) uses

+===========================================================================
+
+The GNU General Public License (GPL)
+
+Version 2, June 1991
+
+Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
+document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
+and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
+guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
+software is free for all its users.  This General Public License applies to
+most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
+authors commit to using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
+covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.  Our
+General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
+distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
+that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
+the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
+can do these things.
+
+To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
+you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  These restrictions
+translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
+software, or if you modify it.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
+a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.  You must
+make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.  And you must
+show them these terms so they know their rights.
+
+We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
+offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
+and/or modify the software.
+
+Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
+everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software.  If the
+software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
+know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
+by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
+
+Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.  We
+wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
+individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
+To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
+everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
+follow.
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
+placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
+this General Public License.  The "Program", below, refers to any such program
+or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
+derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
+Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
+translated into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included
+without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
+"you".
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
+this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of running the Program is
+not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
+constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
+running the Program).  Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
+you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
+disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
+and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
+Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
+at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
+forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
+or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
+these conditions:
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
+    that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
+    in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
+    licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
+    this License.
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
+    you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
+    most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
+    appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
+    else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
+    the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
+    of this License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
+    not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
+    not required to print an announcement.)
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If identifiable
+sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
+considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
+its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
+works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
+work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
+of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
+whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
+rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
+right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
+the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
+Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
+distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
+License.
+
+3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
+Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
+2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
+    code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
+    on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
+    give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
+    performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
+    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
+    and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
+    distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is allowed only
+    for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
+    object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
+    Subsection b above.)
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
+modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source code means all
+the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
+definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
+of the executable.  However, as a special exception, the source code
+distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
+source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
+of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
+from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
+code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
+third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
+expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
+sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
+your rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies, or
+rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
+long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
+However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
+or its derivative works.  These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
+accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
+any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
+do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
+the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
+copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
+rights granted herein.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
+third parties to this License.
+
+7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
+are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
+contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
+conditions of this License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
+simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
+obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
+For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
+of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
+you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
+particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
+the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
+other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
+section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
+distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices.  Many
+people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
+distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
+distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
+choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
+consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
+countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
+copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
+geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
+distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.  In
+such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
+of this License.
+
+9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
+General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be similar in
+spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
+or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
+version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
+that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
+If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
+choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
+whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
+permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
+write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
+Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
+all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
+software generally.
+
+NO WARRANTY
+
+11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
+THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
+STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
+PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
+INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
+FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
+PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
+YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
+ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
+PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
+GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
+INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
+BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
+FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
+OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
+use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
+which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach
+them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
+of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
+pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
+    One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
+
+    Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+
+    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
+    under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
+    Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
+    any later version.
+
+    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
+    ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
+    FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General Public License for
+    more details.
+
+    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
+    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
+    Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
+starts in an interactive mode:
+
+    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
+    with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.  This is free
+    software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
+    type 'show c' for details.
+
+The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may be
+called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
+if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.  Here
+is a sample; alter the names:
+
+    Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+    'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
+License instead of this License.
+
+
+"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
+
+Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are
+subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but
+only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header
+the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
+exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
