Version 3, 29 June 2007
|
||
|
||
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
|
||
|
||
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
||
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
||
|
||
Preamble
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
|
||
and other kinds of works.
|
||
|
||
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
||
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
|
||
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
|
||
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
|
||
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
|
||
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
|
||
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
|
||
your programs, too.
|
||
|
||
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
||
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
||
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
||
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
|
||
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
|
||
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
|
||
|
||
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
||
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
|
||
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
|
||
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
|
||
|
||
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
||
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
|
||
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
|
||
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
|
||
know their rights.
|
||
|
||
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
||
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
|
||
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
|
||
|
||
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
||
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
|
||
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
|
||
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
|
||
authors of previous versions.
|
||
|
||
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
||
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
|
||
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
|
||
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
|
||
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
|
||
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
|
||
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
|
||
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
|
||
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
|
||
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
|
||
|
||
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
||
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
|
||
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
|
||
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
|
||
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
|
||
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
||
|
||
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
||
modification follow.
|
||
|
||
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
||
====================
|
||
|
||
0. Definitions.
|
||
|
||
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public
|
||
License.
|
||
|
||
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
|
||
kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
||
|
||
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
||
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
|
||
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
||
|
||
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
|
||
work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
|
||
making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified
|
||
version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
||
|
||
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work
|
||
based on the Program.
|
||
|
||
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
||
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
||
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on
|
||
a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
|
||
copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
|
||
available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
|
||
well.
|
||
|
||
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
||
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
|
||
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
|
||
conveying.
|
||
|
||
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
|
||
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
|
||
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
|
||
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to
|
||
the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey
|
||
the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
|
||
License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or
|
||
options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this
|
||
criterion.
|
||
|
||
1. Source Code.
|
||
|
||
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
||
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
|
||
form of a work.
|
||
|
||
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an
|
||
official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in
|
||
the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
|
||
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
|
||
language.
|
||
|
||
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything,
|
||
other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal
|
||
form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that
|
||
Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with
|
||
that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for
|
||
which an implementation is available to the public in source code
|
||
form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major
|
||
essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
|
||
specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
|
||
runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
|
||
interpreter used to run it.
|
||
|
||
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
|
||
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
|
||
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts
|
||
to control those activities. However, it does not include the
|
||
work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally
|
||
available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
|
||
those activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
|
||
Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated
|
||
with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
|
||
libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is
|
||
specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
|
||
communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
|
||
parts of the work.
|
||
|
||
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
|
||
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
|
||
Source.
|
||
|
||
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
|
||
same work.
|
||
|
||
2. Basic Permissions.
|
||
|
||
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
||
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
||
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
|
||
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running
|
||
a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given
|
||
its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges
|
||
your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
|
||
copyright law.
|
||
|
||
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
|
||
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise
|
||
remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the
|
||
sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you,
|
||
or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
|
||
that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
|
||
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making
|
||
or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
|
||
behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit
|
||
them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
|
||
their relationship with you.
|
||
|
||
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
|
||
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section
|
||
10 makes it unnecessary.
|
||
|
||
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
||
|
||
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
|
||
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
|
||
article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December
|
||
1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
|
||
such measures.
|
||
|
||
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
||
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
|
||
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
|
||
with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to
|
||
limit operation or modification of the work as a means of
|
||
enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal
|
||
rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
|
||
|
||
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
||
|
||
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
|
||
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
||
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
|
||
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
|
||
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
|
||
code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
|
||
give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
||
|
||
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
|
||
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
|
||
|
||
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
||
|
||
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
|
||
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
|
||
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
|
||
conditions:
|
||
|
||
a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you
|
||
modified it, and giving a relevant date.
|
||
|
||
b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
|
||
released under this License and any conditions added under
|
||
section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in
|
||
section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
|
||
|
||
c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
|
||
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
|
||
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
|
||
section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all
|
||
its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License
|
||
gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but
|
||
it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately
|
||
received it.
|
||
|
||
d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
||
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has
|
||
interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
|
||
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
|
||
|
||
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
|
||
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered
|
||
work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
|
||
program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is
|
||
called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting
|
||
copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
|
||
compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
|
||
Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
|
||
License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
|
||
|
||
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
||
|
||
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
|
||
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
|
||
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
|
||
License, in one of these ways:
|
||
|
||
a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
||
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
||
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
|
||
customarily used for software interchange.
|
||
|
||
b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
||
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
|
||
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
|
||
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that
|
||
product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code
|
||
either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
|
||
software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
|
||
durable physical medium customarily used for software
|
||
interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
|
||
physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
|
||
to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
|
||
charge.
|
||
|
||
c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
|
||
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
|
||
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,
|
||
and only if you received the object code with such an offer,
|
||
in accord with subsection 6b.
|
||
|
||
d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
|
||
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to
|
||
the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
|
||
place at no further charge. You need not require recipients
|
||
to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.
|
||
If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
|
||
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by
|
||
you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
|
||
facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the
|
||
object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
||
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
|
||
remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
|
||
needed to satisfy these requirements.
|
||
|
||
e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
|
||
provided you inform other peers where the object code and
|
||
Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the
|
||
general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
|
||
|
||
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
|
||
excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need
|
||
not be included in conveying the object code work.
|
||
|
||
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means
|
||
any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
|
||
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
|
||
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is
|
||
a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
|
||
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
|
||
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
|
||
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
|
||
way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
|
||
expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product
|
||
regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
|
||
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
|
||
only significant mode of use of the product.
|
||
|
||
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
|
||
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
|
||
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
|
||
User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.
|
||
The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
|
||
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
|
||
interfered with solely because modification has been made.
|
||
|
||
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with,
|
||
or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying
|
||
occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
|
||
and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
|
||
perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction
|
||
is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
|
||
section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But
|
||
this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
|
||
retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
|
||
Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
|
||
|
||
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not
|
||
include a requirement to continue to provide support service,
|
||
warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed
|
||
by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
|
||
modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the
|
||
modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation
|
||
of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
|
||
communication across the network.
|
||
|
||
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
|
||
provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
|
||
publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
|
||
public in source code form), and must require no special password
|
||
or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
|
||
|
||
7. Additional Terms.
|
||
|
||
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of
|
||
this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
|
||
conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the
|
||
entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in
|
||
this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
|
||
law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
|
||
that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
|
||
entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to
|
||
the additional permissions.
|
||
|
||
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
||
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
|
||
of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
|
||
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
|
||
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
|
||
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
|
||
|
||
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material
|
||
you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
|
||
holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
|
||
terms:
|
||
|
||
a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from
|
||
the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
||
|
||
b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
|
||
or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
|
||
Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
|
||
|
||
c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
|
||
or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked
|
||
in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
|
||
|
||
d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
|
||
or authors of the material; or
|
||
|
||
e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
|
||
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
||
|
||
f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
|
||
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified
|
||
versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
|
||
the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
|
||
assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
|
||
|
||
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
|
||
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as
|
||
you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
|
||
it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
|
||
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document
|
||
contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
|
||
under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
|
||
by the terms of that license document, provided that the further
|
||
restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
||
|
||
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
|
||
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
|
||
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
|
||
where to find the applicable terms.
|
||
|
||
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in
|
||
the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
|
||
the above requirements apply either way.
|
||
|
||
8. Termination.
|
||
|
||
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
|
||
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
|
||
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
|
||
under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the
|
||
third paragraph of section 11).
|
||
|
||
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
|
||
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
|
||
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
|
||
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
|
||
copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
|
||
reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
|
||
|
||
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
||
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
||
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
||
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
|
||
that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
|
||
after your receipt of the notice.
|
||
|
||
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
|
||
the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
|
||
under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
|
||
permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses
|
||
for the same material under section 10.
|
||
|
||
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
||
|
||
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
|
||
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
|
||
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
|
||
transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
|
||
acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you
|
||
permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions
|
||
infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
|
||
by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
|
||
acceptance of this License to do so.
|
||
|
||
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
||
|
||
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
|
||
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
|
||
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
|
||
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
|
||
License.
|
||
|
||
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
|
||
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
||
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a
|
||
covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
|
||
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
|
||
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
|
||
could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession
|
||
of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
|
||
interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
|
||
efforts.
|
||
|
||
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
|
||
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you
|
||
may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise
|
||
of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate
|
||
litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
|
||
alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
|
||
selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion
|
||
of it.
|
||
|
||
11. Patents.
|
||
|
||
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
||
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.
|
||
The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor
|
||
version".
|
||
|
||
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
|
||
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
|
||
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
|
||
permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
|
||
contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
|
||
infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
|
||
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control"
|
||
includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
|
||
consistent with the requirements of this License.
|
||
|
||
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
|
||
royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
|
||
patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
|
||
otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
|
||
version.
|
||
|
||
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any
|
||
express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to
|
||
enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
|
||
patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant"
|
||
such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
|
||
commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
|
||
|
||
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent
|
||
license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available
|
||
for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
|
||
License, through a publicly available network server or other
|
||
readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
|
||
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
|
||
yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular
|
||
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements
|
||
of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
|
||
recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge
|
||
that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work
|
||
in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a
|
||
country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
|
||
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
|
||
|
||
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
||
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
|
||
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
|
||
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
|
||
modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the
|
||
patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
|
||
recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
|
||
|
||
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
|
||
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
|
||
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
|
||
are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a
|
||
covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third
|
||
party that is in the business of distributing software, under which
|
||
you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your
|
||
activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party
|
||
grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work
|
||
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
|
||
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
|
||
those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
|
||
products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
|
||
entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted,
|
||
prior to 28 March 2007.
|
||
|
||
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
|
||
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
|
||
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
|
||
|
||
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
||
|
||
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement
|
||
or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they
|
||
do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
|
||
cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
|
||
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations,
|
||
then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example,
|
||
if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
|
||
further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the
|
||
only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would
|
||
be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
|
||
|
||
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
||
|
||
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
|
||
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
|
||
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
|
||
single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms
|
||
of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the
|
||
covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
|
||
General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through
|
||
a network will apply to the combination as such.
|
||
|
||
14. Revised Versions of this License.
|
||
|
||
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
|
||
versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such
|
||
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
|
||
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
||
|
||
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
||
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU
|
||
General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you
|
||
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
|
||
that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
|
||
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
|
||
number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any
|
||
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
||
|
||
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
|
||
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that
|
||
proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
|
||
authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
|
||
|
||
Later license versions may give you additional or different
|
||
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
|
||
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
|
||
later version.
|
||
|
||
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
||
|
||
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
||
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
|
||
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
|
||
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
|
||
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
||
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
|
||
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
|
||
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
|
||
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
||
|
||
16. Limitation of Liability.
|
||
|
||
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
|
||
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
|
||
AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
|
||
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
|
||
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
|
||
THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
|
||
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
|
||
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
||
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
|
||
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
||
|
||
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
||
|
||
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
|
||
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
|
||
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
|
||
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
|
||
connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
|
||
liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
|
||
|

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
||
=============================================
|
||
|
||
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
||
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
||
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
|
||
terms.
|
||
|
||
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
||
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
||
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
|
||
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
||
|
||
ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
|
||
Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
|
||
|
||
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
||
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
||
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
|
||
your option) any later version.
|
||
|
||
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
|
||
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
||
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU
|
||
General Public License for more details.
|
||
|
||
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
||
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
||
|
||
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
|
||
mail.
|
||
|
||
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|
||
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
||
|
||
PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
|
||
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
|
||
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
||
under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
|
||
|
||
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the
|
||
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your
|
||
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
|
||
use an "about box".
|
||
|
||
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
|
||
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
|
||
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
|
||
the GNU GPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
||
|
||
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
|
||
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
|
||
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
|
||
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
|
||
GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first,
|
||
please read <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
