conditions:

  (a) NOTICE INCLUSION. This License, including the copyright notice in its
      header, must be included verbatim and unmodified in all copies or

      prominent notice in the modified files stating that You changed the
      files, the nature of the changes, and the date of such changes.

      Object Form (e.g., compiled binaries, minified files, firmware), You
      must ensure that the copyright notice and a reference to this License
      are either embedded in the Object Form itself, displayed at runtime
      where technically feasible, or provided in accompanying documentation.

  (g) SAAS AND NETWORK USE. If You operate the Software or a Derivative Work
      as a service made available to third parties over a network, You must
      make this License and the applicable copyright notice accessible to
