+      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

+      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
+          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.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

+Eclipse Public License - v 1.0
+
+   THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS ECLIPSE
+   PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF
+   THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
+
+   1. DEFINITIONS
+
+   "Contribution" means:
+
+   a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and
+   documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
+
+   b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
+
+   i) changes to the Program, and
+
+   ii) additions to the Program;
+
+   where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and
+   are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution
+   'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such
+   Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf.
+   Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are
+   separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the
+   Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative
+   works of the Program.
+
+   "Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
+
+   "Licensed Patents" mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which
+   are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone
+   or when combined with the Program.
+
+   "Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this
+   Agreement.
+
+   "Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement,
+   including all Contributors.
+
+   2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
+
+   a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
+   grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright
+   license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display,
+   publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such
+   Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and
+   object code form.
+
+   b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby
+   grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
+   license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell,
+   import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if
+   any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall
+   apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the
+   time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the
+   Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed
+   Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations
+   which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed
+   hereunder.
+
+   c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the
+   licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are
+   provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the
+   patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each
+   Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by
+   any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights
+   or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses
+   granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to
+   secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For
+   example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient
+   to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire
+   that license before distributing the Program.
+
+   d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient
+   copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright
+   license set forth in this Agreement.
+
+   3. REQUIREMENTS
+
+   A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form
+   under its own license agreement, provided that:
+
+   a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
+
+   b) its license agreement:
+
+   i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties
+   and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions
+   of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of
+   merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
+
+   ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability
+   for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and
+   consequential damages, such as lost profits;
+
+   iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are
+   offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
+
+   iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such
+   Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable
+   manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
+
+   When the Program is made available in source code form:
+
+   a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
+
+   b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the
+   Program.
+
+   Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained
+   within the Program.
+
+   Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its
+   Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent
+   Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
+
+   4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
+
+   Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities
+   with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this
+   license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program,
+   the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product
+   offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential
+   liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes
+   the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor
+   ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every
+   other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses,
+   damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits
+   and other legal actions brought by a third party against the
+   Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions
+   of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of
+   the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this
+   section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or
+   alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an
+   Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial
+   Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial
+   Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor
+   in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The
+   Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own
+   expense.
+
+   For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial
+   product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial
+   Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance
+   claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance
+   claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility
+   alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to
+   defend claims against the other Contributors related to those
+   performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other
+   Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor
+   must pay those damages.
+
+   5. NO WARRANTY
+
+   EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS
+   PROVIDED 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. Each Recipient is solely responsible
+   for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the
+   Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights
+   under this Agreement , including but not limited to the risks and costs
+   of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss
+   of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of
+   operations.
+
+   6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
+
+   EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR
+   ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT,
+   INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING
+   WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF
+   LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING
+   NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR
+   DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED
+   HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+   7. GENERAL
+
+   If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under
+   applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
+   the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further
+   action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the
+   minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
+
+   If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including
+   a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program
+   itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or
+   hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's
+   rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such
+   litigation is filed.
+
+   All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails
+   to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this
+   Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time
+   after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights
+   under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and
+   distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However,
+   Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted
+   by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
+
+   Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement,
+   but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and
+   may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward
+   reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of
+   this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement
+   Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. The Eclipse Foundation
+   is the initial Agreement Steward. The Eclipse Foundation may assign the
+   responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate
+   entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a
+   distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions)
+   may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under
+   which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the
+   Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program
+   (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as
+   expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no
+   rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor
+   under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or
+   otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this
+   Agreement are reserved.
+
+   This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the
+   intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to
+   this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than
+   one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights
+   to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.

+This project provides a wrapper around org.apache.commons.httpclient.
+
+It is independent of Winery itself as Winery uses JAX-RS.
+The generated implementation artifacts, however, rely on this package.
+
+## Build fat JARs
+To build a fatJar of the HighLevelRestAPI which also contains all the dependencies use the maven profile fatJar (i.e., run `mvn clean package -P fatJar`).
+Maven will create a JAR called `org.eclipse.winery.highlevelrestapi-*-jar-with-dependencies.jar` in `/target`.

+                                 Apache License
+                           Version 2.0, January 2004
+                        http://www.apache.org/licenses/
+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+   1. Definitions.
+
+      "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+      and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.
+
+      "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+      the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+      "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+      other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+      control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+      "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+      direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+      otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+      outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+      "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
+          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.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.
+
+      To apply the Apache License to your work, attach the following
+      boilerplate notice, with the fields enclosed by brackets "[]"
+      replaced with your own identifying information. (Don't include

+      comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a
+      file or class name and description of purpose be included on the
