If the Developer Materials include any libraries, sample code, or other materials we make available specifically for incorporation in your Applications (as indicated by the applicable documentation), you may incorporate those materials in your Applications and reproduce and distribute those Developer Materials as incorporated in your Applications. You may also modify any such sample code to the extent necessary to incorporate it in your Applications.

The Developer Materials may include or be distributed with software or other materials that are provided under a separate license agreement (such as an open source license), and that separate license will govern the use of such software or other materials in the event of a conflict with this Agreement. Any such separate license agreement may be indicated in the license, notice, or readme files distributed with the applicable software or other materials or in related documentation.
