The text hard-codes multiple institutions in the non-endorsement clause and later grants Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory a perpetual license for "Enhancements". Please confirm these named entities and special grant are intended for this repository; if not, replace them with the correct copyright holder(s) / project name or use a standard license text that matches this project’s ownership.
