  1. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, You grant to the Projects’ maintainers, contributors, users and to GrammarSoft ApS 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 Your contributions and such derivative works. Additionally, You grant to GrammarSoft ApS a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable copyright license to relicense Your contributions under any Open Source License.

  2. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this agreement, You grant to the Projects’ maintainers, contributors, users and to GrammarSoft ApS 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 your contributions, where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable by you that are necessarily infringed by your contribution or by combination of your contribution with the project to which this contribution was submitted.
