+Definitions
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. 
+
+A "Licensed Work" includes any means that is protectable under applicable copyright law, including unmodified code or a work based on the code.
+
+To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
+

The Licensor may make additional use grants for certain commercial and/or production use of the Licensed Work on a case-by-case basis by providing or publishing such permission in writing. 
+The Licensor also grants you the right to contribute to the Licensed Work by modifying it so long as such modifications are non-commercial and on a non-production basis, so long as the modifications are made publicly available for audit, with notice provided of the original source as well as the continuing applicability of this License.
