==========================

_Version 3, 29 June 2007_
5
+
_Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <<http://fsf.org/>>_
6
+
7
+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
8
+
document, but changing it is not allowed.
9
+
10
+
## Preamble
11
+
12
+
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other
13
+
kinds of works.
14
+
15
+
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away
16
+
your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public
17
+
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a
18
+
program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free
19
+
Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
20
+
applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
21
+
your programs, too.
22
+
23
+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
24
+
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute
25
+
copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source
26
+
code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of
27
+
it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28
+
29
+
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or
30
+
asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if
31
+
you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to
32
+
respect the freedom of others.
33
+
34
+
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee,
35
+
you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make
36
+
sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
37
+
terms so they know their rights.
38
+
39
+
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: **(1)** assert
40
+
copyright on the software, and **(2)** offer you this License giving you legal permission
41
+
to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
42
+
43
+
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is
44
+
no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL
45
+
requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not
46
+
be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
47
+
48
+
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of
49
+
the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally
50
+
incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
51
+
systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
52
+
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed
53
+
this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems
54
+
arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to
55
+
those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
56
+
users.
57
+
58
+
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should
59
+
not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose
60
+
computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents
61
+
applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the
62
+
GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
63
+
64
+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
65
+
66
+
## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
67
+
68
+
### 0. Definitions
69
+
70
+
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
71
+
72
+
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
73
+
works, such as semiconductor masks.
74
+
75
+
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
76
+
License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
77
+
“recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
78
+
79
+
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
80
+
a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The
81
+
resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a
82
+
work “based on” the earlier work.
83
+
84
+
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on
85
+
the Program.
86
+
87
+
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
88
+
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under
89
+
applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private
90
+
copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
91
+
making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
92
+
93
+
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
94
+
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
95
+
network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
96
+
97
+
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
98
+
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that **(1)**
99
+
displays an appropriate copyright notice, and **(2)** tells the user that there is no
100
+
warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that
101
+
licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
102
+
License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
103
+
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
104
+
105
+
### 1. Source Code
106
+
107
+
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
108
+
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
109
+
work.
110
+
111
+
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
112
+
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces
113
+
specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among
114
+
developers working in that language.
115
+
116
+
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than
117
+
the work as a whole, that **(a)** is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
118
+
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and **(b)** serves only to
119
+
enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
120
+
Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form.
121
+
A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component
122
+
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which
123
+
the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
124
+
interpreter used to run it.
125
+
126
+
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
127
+
source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
128
+
code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However,
129
+
it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or
130
+
generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those
131
+
activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
132
+
includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
133
+
the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work
134
+
is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or
135
+
control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
136
+
137
+
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
138
+
automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
139
+
140
+
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
141
+
142
+
### 2. Basic Permissions
143
+
144
+
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the
145
+
Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License
146
+
explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The
147
+
output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output,
148
+
given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights
149
+
of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
150
+
151
+
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
152
+
conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered
153
+
works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
154
+
for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you
155
+
comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
156
+
control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so
157
+
exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit
158
+
them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship
159
+
with you.
160
+
161
+
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions
162
+
stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
163
+
164
+
### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law
165
+
166
+
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any
167
+
applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty
168
+
adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention
169
+
of such measures.
170
+
171
+
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
172
+
technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising
173
+
rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any
174
+
intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing,
175
+
against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention
176
+
of technological measures.
177
+
178
+
### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies
179
+
180
+
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
181
+
medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
182
+
appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and
183
+
any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep
184
+
intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of
185
+
this License along with the Program.
186
+
187
+
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer
188
+
support or warranty protection for a fee.
189
+
190
+
### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions
191
+
192
+
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from
193
+
the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that
194
+
you also meet all of these conditions:
195
+
196
+
* **a)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a
197
+
relevant date.
198
+
* **b)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this
199
+
License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the
200
+
requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
201
+
* **c)** You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who
202
+
comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any
203
+
applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
204
+
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the
205
+
work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
206
+
separately received it.
207
+
* **d)** If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal
208
+
Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display
209
+
Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
210
+
211
+
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are
212
+
not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with
213
+
it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution
214
+
medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting
215
+
copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
216
+
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate
217
+
does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
218
+
219
+
### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms
220
+
221
+
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and
222
+
5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the
223
+
terms of this License, in one of these ways:
224
+
225
+
* **a)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
226
+
physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a
227
+
durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
228
+
* **b)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
229
+
physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least
230
+
three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for
231
+
that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either **(1)** a copy of
232
+
the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this
233
+
License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for
234
+
a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of
235
+
source, or **(2)** access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
236
+
charge.
237
+
* **c)** Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to
238
+
provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and
239
+
noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in
240
+
accord with subsection 6b.
241
+
* **d)** Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for
242
+
a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way
243
+
through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy
244
+
the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object
245
+
code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server
246
+
(operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities,
247
+
provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find
248
+
the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source,
249
+
you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy
250
+
these requirements.
251
+
* **e)** Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform
252
+
other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being
253
+
offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
254
+
255
+
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the
256
+
Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the
257
+
object code work.
258
+
259
+
A “User Product” is either **(1)** a “consumer product”, which
260
+
means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
261
+
household purposes, or **(2)** anything designed or sold for incorporation into a
262
+
dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases
263
+
shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a
264
+
particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of
265
+
that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
266
+
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the
267
+
product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has
268
+
substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
269
+
the only significant mode of use of the product.
270
+
271
+
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
272
+
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute
273
+
modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of
274
+
its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
275
+
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
276
+
solely because modification has been made.
277
+
278
+
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for
279
+
use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which
280
+
the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient
281
+
in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
282
+
characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be
283
+
accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if
284
+
neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code
285
+
on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
286
+
287
+
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to
288
+
continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been
289
+
modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
290
+
modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself
291
+
materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules
292
+
and protocols for communication across the network.
293
+
294
+
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with
295
+
this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an
296
+
implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no
297
+
special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
298
+
299
+
### 7. Additional Terms
300
+
301
+
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
302
+
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional
303
+
permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they
304
+
were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
305
+
law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be
306
+
used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
307
+
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
308
+
309
+
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
310
+
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
311
+
permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you
312
+
modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a
313
+
covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
314
+
315
+
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
316
+
covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
317
+
supplement the terms of this License with terms:
318
+
319
+
* **a)** Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
320
+
sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
321
+
* **b)** Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
322
+
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works
323
+
containing it; or
324
+
* **c)** Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that
325
+
modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the
326
+
original version; or
327
+
* **d)** Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the
328
+
material; or
329
+
* **e)** Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names,
330
+
trademarks, or service marks; or
331
+
* **f)** Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone
332
+
who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of
333
+
liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions
334
+
directly impose on those licensors and authors.
335
+
336
+
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
337
+
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received
338
+
it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License
339
+
along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a
340
+
license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
341
+
under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of
342
+
that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
343
+
relicensing or conveying.
344
+
345
+
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in
346
+
the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those
347
+
files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
348
+
349
+
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
350
+
separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply
351
+
either way.
352
+
353
+
### 8. Termination
354
+
355
+
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under
356
+
this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will
357
+
automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses
358
+
granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
359
+
360
+
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a
361
+
particular copyright holder is reinstated **(a)** provisionally, unless and until the
362
+
copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and **(b)** permanently,
363
+
if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
364
+
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
365
+
366
+
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently
367
+
if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this
368
+
is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any
369
+
work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
370
+
your receipt of the notice.
371
+
372
+
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of
373
+
parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your
374
+
rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to
375
+
receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
376
+
377
+
### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies
378
+
379
+
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the
380
+
Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of
381
+
using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
382
+
acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to
383
+
propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not
384
+
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you
385
+
indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
386
+
387
+
### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients
388
+
389
+
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license
390
+
from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this
391
+
License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
392
+
License.
393
+
394
+
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
395
+
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or
396
+
merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity
397
+
transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also
398
+
receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
399
+
could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
400
+
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor
401
+
has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
402
+
403
+
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or
404
+
affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty,
405
+
or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
406
+
initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
407
+
that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or
408
+
importing the Program or any portion of it.
409
+
410
+
### 11. Patents
411
+
412
+
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
413
+
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus
414
+
licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
415
+
416
+
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
417
+
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that
418
+
would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or
419
+
selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed
420
+
only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
421
+
purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent
422
+
sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
423
+
424
+
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license
425
+
under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale,
426
+
import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
427
+
version.
428
+
429
+
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
430
+
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an
431
+
express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent
432
+
infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make
433
+
such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
434
+
435
+
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
436
+
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge
437
+
and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or
438
+
other readily accessible means, then you must either **(1)** cause the Corresponding
439
+
Source to be so available, or **(2)** arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
440
+
patent license for this particular work, or **(3)** arrange, in a manner consistent with
441
+
the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
442
+
recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
443
+
for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your
444
+
recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more
445
+
identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
446
+
447
+
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
448
+
convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent
449
+
license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use,
450
+
propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent
451
+
license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and
452
+
works based on it.
453
+
454
+
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
455
+
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the
456
+
non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this
457
+
License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with
458
+
a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make
459
+
payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
460
+
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive
461
+
the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license **(a)** in connection with
462
+
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or **(b)**
463
+
primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain
464
+
the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
465
+
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
466
+
467
+
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
468
+
license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you
469
+
under applicable patent law.
470
+
471
+
### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom
472
+
473
+
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
474
+
that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
475
+
conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy
476
+
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
477
+
obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you
478
+
agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from
479
+
those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms
480
+
and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
481
+
482
+
### 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License
483
+
484
+
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or
485
+
combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero
486
+
General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.
487
+
The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered
488
+
work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section
489
+
13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
490
+
491
+
### 14. Revised Versions of this License
492
+
493
+
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU
494
+
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
495
+
to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
496
+
497
+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that
498
+
a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later
499
+
version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
500
+
conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the
501
+
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU
502
+
General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
503
+
Software Foundation.
504
+
505
+
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU
506
+
General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
507
+
version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
508
+
509
+
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no
510
+
additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of
511
+
your choosing to follow a later version.
512
+
513
+
### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty
514
+
515
+
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
516
+
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
517
+
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
518
+
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
519
+
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
520
+
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
521
+
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
522
+
523
+
### 16. Limitation of Liability
524
+
525
+
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
526
+
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS
527
+
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
528
+
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
529
+
PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
530
+
OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
531
+
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
532
+
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
533
+
534
+
### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16
535
+
536
+
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be
537
+
given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local
538
+
law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
539
+
connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies
540
+
a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
541
+
542
+
_END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS_
543
+
544
+
## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
545
+
546
+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to
547
+
the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone
548
+
can redistribute and change under these terms.
549
+
550
+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them
551
+
to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty;
552
+
and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to
553
+
where the full notice is found.
554
+
555
+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
556
+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
557
+
558
+
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
559
+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
560
+
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
561
+
(at your option) any later version.
562
+
563
+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
564
+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
565
+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
566
+
GNU General Public License for more details.
567
+
568
+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
569
+
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
570
+
571
+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
572
+
573
+
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this
574
+
when it starts in an interactive mode:
575
+
576
+
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
577
+
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
578
+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
579
+
under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
580
+
581
+
The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the appropriate parts of
582
+
the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different;
583
+
for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
584
+
585
+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to
586
+
sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more
587
+
information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
588
+
<<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>>.
589
+
590
+
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
591
+
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it
592
+
more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is
593
+
what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this
594
+
License. But first, please read
595
+
<<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>>.
