GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE␊ |
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.␊ |

␊ |
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␊ |
