  11. Note that restrictions imposed by these patents (and possibly others)
  12. exist independently of and may be in conflict with the freedoms granted
  13. in OpenCV license, which refers to copyright of the program, not patents
  14. for any methods that it implements. Both copyright and patent law must
  15. be obeyed to legally use and redistribute this program and it is not the
  16. purpose of this license to induce you to infringe any patents or other
  17. property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims. If you
  18. redistribute or use the program, then this license merely protects you
  19. from committing copyright infringement. It does not protect you from
  20. committing patent infringement. So, before you do anything with this
  21. program, make sure that you have permission to do so not merely in terms
  22. of copyright, but also in terms of patent law.
  23. Please note that this license is not to be understood as a guarantee
  24. either. If you use the program according to this license, but in
  25. conflict with patent law, it does not mean that the licensor will refund
  26. you for any losses that you incur if you are sued for your patent
  27. infringement.
