+
+### Patent Licensing Terms
+
+The patent mode for specification is W3C Mode (2004), as detailed below:
+
+- **Licensing Commitment.** Each contributor agrees to make available any of its
+  Essential Claims, as defined in the W3C Patent Policy (available at
+  http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205), under the W3C RF licensing
+  requirements Section 5 (http://www.w3.org/Consortium/Patent-Policy-20040205), as
+  if the contribution was contained in or associated with a W3C Recommendation.
+
+- **For Exclusion.** Prior to committing any code, bug reports, pull requests, or
+  other forms of contribution, a contributor may exclude Essential Claims from its
+  licensing commitments under this agreement by providing written notice of that
+  intent to DIF's Executive Director (and must received confirmation of receipt
+  for the exclusion to have effect). The Exclusion Notice for issued patents and
+  published applications must include the patent number(s) or title and
+  application number(s), as the case may be, for each of the issued patent(s) or
+  pending patent application(s) that the contributor wishes to exclude from the
+  licensing commitment set forth in Section 1 of this patent policy. If an issued
+  patent or pending patent application that may contain Essential Claims is not
+  set forth in the Exclusion Notice, those Essential Claims shall continue to be
+  subject to the licensing commitments under this agreement. The Exclusion Notice
+  for unpublished patent applications must provide either: (i) the text of the
+  filed application; or (ii) identification of the specific part(s) of the
+  contribution whose implementation makes the excluded claim an Essential Claim.
+  If (ii) is chosen, the effect of the exclusion will be limited to the identified
+  part(s) of the contribution. DIF's Executive Director will publish Exclusion
+  Notices.
