2 Update to legal notice, made Feb 2012, modified Sep 2013. We would like to
3 clarify that we are using a convention where multiple names in the Apache
4 copyright headers, for example
6 // Copyright 2009-2012 Yanmin Qian Arnab Ghoshal
7 // 2013 Vassil Panayotov
9 does not signify joint ownership of copyright of that file, except in cases
10 where all those names were present in the original release made in March 2011--
11 you can use the version history to work this out, if this matters to you.
12 Instead, we intend that those contributors who later modified the file, agree
13 to release their changes under the Apache license. The conventional way of
14 signifying this is to duplicate the Apache headers at the top of each file each
15 time a change is made by a different author, but this would quickly become
16 impractical.
18 Where the copyright header says something like:
20 // Copyright 2013 Johns Hopkins University (author: Daniel Povey)
22 it is because the individual who wrote the code was at that institution as an
23 employee, so the copyright is owned by the university (and we will have checked
24 that the contributions were in accordance with the open-source policies of the
25 institutions concerned, including getting them vetted individually where
26 necessary). From a legal point of view the copyright ownership is that of the
27 institution concerned, and the (author: xxx) in parentheses is just
28 informational, to identify the actual person who wrote the code, and is not
29 intended to have any legal implications. In some cases, however, particularly
30 early on, we just wrote the name of the university or company concerned,
31 without the actual author's name in parentheses. If you see something like
33 // Copyright 2009-2012 Arnab Ghoshal Microsoft Corporation
35 it does not imply that Arnab was working for Microsoft, it is because someone
36 else contributed to the file while working at Microsoft (this would be Daniel
37 Povey, in fact, who was working at Microsoft Research at the outset of the
38 project).
40 The list of authors of each file is in an essentially arbitrary order, but is
41 often chronological if they contributed in different years.
43 The original legal notice is below. Note: we are continuing to modify it by
44 adding the names of new contributors, but at any given time, the list may
45 be out of date.

269 of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
270 PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
271 appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
272 risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
274 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
275 whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,

286 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
287 the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
288 and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
289 or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
290 License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
291 on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
292 of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
293 defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
294 incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
295 of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
