7Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
8document, but changing it is not allowed.

10Preamble
11
12The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and
13other kinds of works.
14
15The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take
16away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General
17Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
18versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
19We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most
20of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its
21authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
22
23When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
24General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
25to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that
26you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
27the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you
28can do these things.
29
30To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights
31or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities
32if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities
33to respect the freedom of others.
34
35For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
36for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received.
37You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And
38you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
39
40Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert
41copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal
42permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43
44For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that
45there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors'
46sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that
47their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
48
49Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified
50versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
51This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom
52to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the
53area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
54unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit
55the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other
56domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
57versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
58
59Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States
60should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose
61computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that
62patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To
63prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program
64non-free.
65
66The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
67follow.
68
69TERMS AND CONDITIONS
70
71 0. Definitions.
72
73 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
74
75"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works,
76such as semiconductor masks.
77
78"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
79Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals
80or organizations.
81
82To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
83a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact
84copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work
85or a work "based on" the earlier work.
86
87A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
88Program.
89
90To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission,
91would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable
92copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
93Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
94making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
95well.
96
97To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties
98to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
99network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
100
101An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the
102extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
103(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that
104there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
105provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how
106to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands
107or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
108
109 1. Source Code.
110
111The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
112modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
113
114A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard
115defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified
116for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers
117working in that language.
118
119The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than
120the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging
121a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b)
122serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement
123a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public
124in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential
125component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
126(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce
127the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
128
129The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source
130code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
131code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
132However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose
133tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
134those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
135Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for
136the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked
137subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by
138intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and
139other parts of the work.
140
141The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
142automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
143
144 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
145
146 2. Basic Permissions.
147
148All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright
149on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.
150This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified
151Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License
152only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
153acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright
154law.
155
156You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
157conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey
158covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications
159exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
160provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material
161for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered
162works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
163and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted
164material outside their relationship with you.
165
166Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions
167stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
168
169 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
170
171No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure
172under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO
173copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting
174or restricting circumvention of such measures.
175
176When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention
177of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by
178exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and
179you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work
180as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties'
181legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
182
183 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
184
185You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
186it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish
187on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating
188that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section
1897 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty;
190and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
191
192You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
193may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
194
195 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
196
197You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce
198it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section
1994, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
200
201a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and
202giving a relevant date.
203
204b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under
205this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies
206the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
207
208c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone
209who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along
210with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work,
211and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives
212no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate
213such permission if you have separately received it.
214
215d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate
216Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do
217not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
218
219A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
220which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
221not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of
222a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation
223and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights
224of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion
225of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to
226the other parts of the aggregate.
227
228 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
229
230You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections
2314 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding
232Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
233
234a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
235a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed
236on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
237
238b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including
239a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for
240at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer
241support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code
242either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
243product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily
244used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost
245of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
246Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
247
248c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
249offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only
250occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code
251with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
252
253d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis
254or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source
255in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not
256require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object
257code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding
258Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that
259supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
260next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless
261of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure
262that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
263
264e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform
265other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are
266being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
267
268A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from
269the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying
270the object code work.
271
272A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible
273personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household
274purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.
275In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall
276be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular
277user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product,
278regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the
279particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.
280A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
281commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
282only significant mode of use of the product.
283
284"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
285authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified
286versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of
287its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the
288continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented
289or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
290
291If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically
292for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction
293in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred
294to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the
295transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
296section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement
297does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
298modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed
299in ROM).
300
301The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement
302to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that
303has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in
304which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied
305when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation
306of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across
307the network.
308
309Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord
310with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with
311an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require
312no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
313
314 7. Additional Terms.
315
316"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License
317by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions
318that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they
319were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
320law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part
321may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
322governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
323
324When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
325additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
326permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when
327you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added
328by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
329permission.
330
331Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
332to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that
333material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
334
335a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
336sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
337
338b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
339attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed
340by works containing it; or
341
342c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring
343that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different
344from the original version; or
345
346d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors
347of the material; or
348
349e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names,
350trademarks, or service marks; or
351
352f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
353anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual
354assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
355assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
356
357All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions"
358within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any
359part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License
360along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.
361If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing
362or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
363by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction
364does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
365
366If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place,
367in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply
368to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
369
370Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form
371of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements
372apply either way.
373
374 8. Termination.
375
376You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
377under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void,
378and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including
379any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
380
381However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from
382a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and
383until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license,
384and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation
385by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
386
387Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently
388if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means,
389this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License
390(for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior
391to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
392
393Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses
394of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License.
395If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do
396not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
397
398 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
399
400You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy
401of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as
402a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise
403does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants
404you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
405copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating
406a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
407
408 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
409
410Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives
411a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work,
412subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
413by third parties with this License.
414
415An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization,
416or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging
417organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction,
418each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives
419whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
420give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding
421Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has
422it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
423
424You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
425granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
426license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under
427this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim
428or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed
429by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or
430any portion of it.
431
432 11. Patents.
433
434A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License
435of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed
436is called the contributor's "contributor version".
437
438A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled
439by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would
440be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using,
441or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
442infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor
443version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to
444grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this
445License.
446
447Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
448license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell,
449offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents
450of its contributor version.
451
452In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement
453or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express
454permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).
455To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement
456or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
457
458If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
459Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free
460of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available
461network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1)
462cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
463yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or
464(3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License,
465to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying"
466means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying
467the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
468in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country
469that you have reason to believe are valid.
470
471If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement,
472you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant
473a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing
474them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work,
475then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients
476of the covered work and works based on it.
477
478A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope
479of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise
480of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.
481You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with
482a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which
483you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of
484conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
485parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
486license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you
487(or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection
488with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless
489you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior
490to 28 March 2007.
491
492Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
493license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available
494to you under applicable patent law.
495
496 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
497
498If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
499that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from
500the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as
501to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
502pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all.
503For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty
504for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only
505way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain
506entirely from conveying the Program.
507
508 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
509
510Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
511link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the
512GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey
513the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the
514part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
515General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network
516will apply to the combination as such.
517
518 14. Revised Versions of this License.
519
520The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
521GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar
522in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
523problems or concerns.
524
525Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
526that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any
527later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
528conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published
529by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
530number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever
531published by the Free Software Foundation.
532
533If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
534the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
535of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version
536for the Program.
537
538Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However,
539no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as
540a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
541
542 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
543
544THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
545LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
546OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
547EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
548OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
549TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM
550PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
551CORRECTION.
552
553 16. Limitation of Liability.
554
555IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
556ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM
557AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
558INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
559USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
560INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
561PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
562PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
563
564 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
565
566If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot
567be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall
568apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil
569liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption
570of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. END OF
571TERMS AND CONDITIONS
572
573How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
574
575If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
576use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
577which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
578
579To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
580them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion
581of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
582pointer to where the full notice is found.
583
584<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
585
586Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
587
588This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under
589the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software
590Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later
591version.
592
593This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
594ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS
595FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.
596
597You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with
598this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
599
600Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
601
602If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like
603this when it starts in an interactive mode:
604
605<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
606
607This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
608
609This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
610conditions; type `show c' for details.
611
612The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
613parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might
614be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
615
616You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
617if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For
618more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
619
620The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
621into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
622consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
623library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public
624License instead of this License. But first, please read <https://www.gnu.org/
625licenses /why-not-lgpl.html>.
