If you distribute the Software or any derivative works of the Software (for non-commercial purposes), you will distribute them under the same terms and conditions as in this license, and you will not grant other rights to the Software or derivative works that are different from those provided by this MSR-LA. 
If you have created derivative works of the Software, and distribute such derivative works, you will cause the modified files to carry prominent notices so that recipients know that they are not receiving the original Software.

In return, we simply require that you agree:

4. That any feedback about the Software provided by you to us is voluntarily given, and Microsoft shall be free to use the feedback as it sees fit without obligation or restriction of any kind, even if the feedback is designated by you as confidential. 
This MSR-LA will terminate upon your commercial use or release of the Software.  This MSR-LA may also be terminated by Microsoft in writing at any time without cause.

7.	That we have no duty of reasonable care or lack of negligence, and we are not obligated to (and will not) provide technical support for the Software.
8.	That if you breach this MSR-LA or if you sue anyone over patents that you think may apply to or read on the Software or anyone's use of the Software, this MSR-LA (and your license and rights obtained herein) terminate automatically.  Upon any such termination, you shall destroy all of your copies of the Software immediately.  Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11 and 12 of this MSR-LA shall survive any termination of this MSR-LA.

13.	This MSR-LA shall be governed and construed in all respects in accordance with English law.
