| 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. | |
| 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 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
| If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | |
| notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
| <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
| This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | |
| This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
| under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | |
| The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | |
| parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands | |
| might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". | |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
| if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | |
| For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | |

| 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 | |
