-      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
-      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
-      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
-      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
-      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
-      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
-      as of the date such litigation is filed.
-
-   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
-      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
-      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
-      meet the following conditions:

-          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
-          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
-          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
-          the Derivative Works; and
-
-      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
-          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
-          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
-          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
-          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
-          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
-          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
-          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
-          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
-          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
-          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
-          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
-          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
-          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
-          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
-          as modifying the License.
-
-      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
-      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
-      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
-      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
-      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
-      the conditions stated in this License.
-
-   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
-      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
-      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
-      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
-      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
-      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
-      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
-
-   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
-      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
-      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
-      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
-
-   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
-      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
-      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
-      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
-      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
-      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
-      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
-      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
-      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
-
-   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
-      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
-      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
-      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
-      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
-      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
-      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
-      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
-      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
-      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
-      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
-
-   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
-      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
-      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
-      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
-      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
-      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
-      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
-      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
-      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
-      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

-The integration with sklearn supports the scikit-learn compatible libraries,
-it can be enabled by using ``SklearnInstrumentor``.

-.. sklearn: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn
-
-Usage
------
-
-Package instrumentation example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from opentelemetry.instrumentation.sklearn import SklearnInstrumentor
-
-    # instrument the sklearn library
-    SklearnInstrumentor().instrument()
-
-    # instrument sklearn and other libraries
-    SklearnInstrumentor(
-        packages=["sklearn", "lightgbm", "xgboost"]
-    ).instrument()
-
-
-Model instrumentation example:
-
-.. code-block:: python
-
-    from opentelemetry.instrumentation.sklearn import SklearnInstrumentor
-    from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
-    from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

-
-    Instrument methods of ``BaseEstimator``-derived components in a sklearn
-    model.  The assumption is that a machine learning model ``Pipeline`` (or
-    class descendent) is being instrumented with opentelemetry. Within a
-    ``Pipeline`` is some hierarchy of estimators and transformers.
-
-    The ``instrument_estimator`` method walks this hierarchy of estimators,
-    implementing each of the defined methods with its own span.
-
-    Certain estimators in the sklearn ecosystem contain other estimators as
-    instance attributes. Support for walking this embedded sub-hierarchy is
-    supported with ``recurse_attribs``. This argument is a dictionary
-    with classes as keys, and a list of attributes representing embedded
-    estimators as values. By default, ``recurse_attribs`` is empty.
-
-    Similar to Pipelines, there are also estimators which have class attributes
-    as a list of 2-tuples; for instance, the ``FeatureUnion`` and its attribute
-    ``transformer_list``. Instrumenting estimators like this is also
-    supported through the ``recurse_namedtuple_attribs`` argument. This
-    argument is a dictionary with classes as keys, and a list of attribute
-    names representing the namedtuple list(s). By default, the
-    ``recurse_namedtuple_attribs`` dictionary supports
-    ``Pipeline`` with ``steps``, and ``FeatureUnion`` with
-    ``transformer_list``.
-
-    Note that spans will not be generated for any child transformer whose
-    parent transformer has ``n_jobs`` parameter set to anything besides
-    ``None`` or ``1``.
