| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| |
| Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
| |
| Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://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 |

| 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. END OF |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| 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 <https://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 <https://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 <https://www.gnu.org/ |
| licenses /why-not-lgpl.html>. |
