applicable license terms for each package and its dependencies, for example, by

embedded notices or license terms. The package manager feature may have
been pre-set to a feed that is hosted by a third party service provider,
located at go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=206669. The packages listed on this feed may include packages submitted
by third parties. Microsoft makes no representations, warranties or
guarantees as to the feed URL, any feeds from such URL, the information
contained therein, or any packages referenced in or accessed by you through
such feeds. Microsoft grants you no license rights rights for third-party software
that is obtained using this feature or from the feed. You may change the feed
URL that the package manager feature initially points to at any time at your
discretion.
8. THIRD
PARTY NOTICES. The package manager feature of
the software includes third party code. However, all such code is licensed by

15. Disclaimer of Warranty. The software is
licensed “as-is.” You bear the risk of using it. Microsoft gives no express
