-
-3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the preferred form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all available documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor hereby agrees to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original Work along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes. Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an information repository reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work, and by publishing the address of that information repository in a notice immediately following the copyright notice that applies to the Original Work.
-
-4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products derived from this Original Work without express prior written permission of the Licensor. Nothing in this License shall be deemed to grant any rights to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets or any other intellectual property of Licensor except as expressly stated herein. No patent license is granted to make, use, sell or offer to sell embodiments of any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in Section 2. No right is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such marks are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under different terms from this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right to license.
-
-5) This section intentionally omitted.
-
-6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative Works that You create, all copyright, patent or trademark notices from the Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and any descriptive text identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must cause the Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a prominent Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that You have modified the Original Work.

This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from Licensor'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.
-
-9) Acceptance and Termination. If You distribute copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of recipients to the terms of this License. Nothing else but this License (or another written agreement between Licensor and You) grants You permission to create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work or to exercise any of the rights granted in Section 1 herein, and any attempt to do so except under the terms of this License (or another written agreement between Licensor and You) is expressly prohibited by U.S. copyright law, the equivalent laws of other countries, and by international treaty. Therefore, by exercising any of the rights granted to You in Section 1 herein, You indicate Your acceptance of this License and all of its terms and conditions.
-
-10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate automatically and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this License as of the date You commence an action, including a cross-claim or counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging that the Original Work infringes a patent. This termination provision shall not apply for an action alleging patent infringement by combinations of the Original Work with other software or hardware.
-
-11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein the Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business, and under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the Original Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination shall be subject to the requirements and penalties of the U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., the equivalent laws of other countries, and international treaty. This section shall survive the termination of this License.
-
-12) Attorneys Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, including any appeal of such action. This section shall survive the termination of this License.
-
-13) Miscellaneous. This License represents the complete agreement concerning the 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.
-
-14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License, whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this License.

-r"""JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) <http://json.org> is a subset of
-JavaScript syntax (ECMA-262 3rd edition) used as a lightweight data
-interchange format.
-
-:mod:`simplejson` exposes an API familiar to users of the standard library
-:mod:`marshal` and :mod:`pickle` modules. It is the externally maintained
-version of the :mod:`json` library contained in Python 2.6, but maintains
-compatibility with Python 2.4 and Python 2.5 and (currently) has
-significant performance advantages, even without using the optional C
-extension for speedups.
-
-Encoding basic Python object hierarchies::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> json.dumps(['foo', {'bar': ('baz', None, 1.0, 2)}])
-    '["foo", {"bar": ["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]'
-    >>> print json.dumps("\"foo\bar")
-    "\"foo\bar"
-    >>> print json.dumps(u'\u1234')
-    "\u1234"
-    >>> print json.dumps('\\')
-    "\\"
-    >>> print json.dumps({"c": 0, "b": 0, "a": 0}, sort_keys=True)
-    {"a": 0, "b": 0, "c": 0}
-    >>> from StringIO import StringIO
-    >>> io = StringIO()
-    >>> json.dump(['streaming API'], io)
-    >>> io.getvalue()
-    '["streaming API"]'
-
-Compact encoding::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> json.dumps([1,2,3,{'4': 5, '6': 7}], separators=(',',':'))
-    '[1,2,3,{"4":5,"6":7}]'
-
-Pretty printing::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> s = json.dumps({'4': 5, '6': 7}, sort_keys=True, indent=4)
-    >>> print '\n'.join([l.rstrip() for l in  s.splitlines()])
-    {
-        "4": 5,
-        "6": 7
-    }
-
-Decoding JSON::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> obj = [u'foo', {u'bar': [u'baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]
-    >>> json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]') == obj
-    True
-    >>> json.loads('"\\"foo\\bar"') == u'"foo\x08ar'
-    True
-    >>> from StringIO import StringIO
-    >>> io = StringIO('["streaming API"]')
-    >>> json.load(io)[0] == 'streaming API'
-    True
-
-Specializing JSON object decoding::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> def as_complex(dct):
-    ...     if '__complex__' in dct:
-    ...         return complex(dct['real'], dct['imag'])
-    ...     return dct
-    ...
-    >>> json.loads('{"__complex__": true, "real": 1, "imag": 2}',
-    ...     object_hook=as_complex)
-    (1+2j)
-    >>> import decimal
-    >>> json.loads('1.1', parse_float=decimal.Decimal) == decimal.Decimal('1.1')
-    True
-
-Specializing JSON object encoding::
-
-    >>> import simplejson as json
-    >>> def encode_complex(obj):
-    ...     if isinstance(obj, complex):
-    ...         return [obj.real, obj.imag]
-    ...     raise TypeError(repr(o) + " is not JSON serializable")
-    ...
-    >>> json.dumps(2 + 1j, default=encode_complex)
-    '[2.0, 1.0]'
-    >>> json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).encode(2 + 1j)
-    '[2.0, 1.0]'
-    >>> ''.join(json.JSONEncoder(default=encode_complex).iterencode(2 + 1j))
-    '[2.0, 1.0]'
