GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29 June 2007
|
|
|
|
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
|
|
document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and
|
|
other kinds of works.
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take
|
|
away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General
|
|
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
|
|
versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its
|
|
users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License
|
|
for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way
|
|
by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
|
|
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
|
|
distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you
|
|
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
|
|
software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can
|
|
do these things.
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these
|
|
rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
|
|
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify
|
|
it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
|
|
a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received.
|
|
You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
|
|
must show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
|
|
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert
|
|
copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal
|
|
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
|
|
|
|
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that
|
|
there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors'
|
|
sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that
|
|
their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified
|
|
versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
|
|
This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom
|
|
to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the
|
|
area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
|
|
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit
|
|
the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other
|
|
domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
|
|
versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
|
|
|
|
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States
|
|
should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on
|
|
general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special
|
|
danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively
|
|
proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to
|
|
render the program non-free.
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
|
|
follow.
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works,
|
|
such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
|
|
Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be
|
|
individuals or organizations.
|
|
|
|
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a
|
|
fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact
|
|
copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or
|
|
a work “based on” the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
|
|
Program.
|
|
|
|
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission,
|
|
would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under
|
|
applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a
|
|
private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without
|
|
modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other
|
|
activities as well.
|
|
|
|
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to
|
|
make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
|
|
network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
|
|
|
|
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
|
|
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1)
|
|
displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is
|
|
no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided),
|
|
that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy
|
|
of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options,
|
|
such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
1. Source Code. The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the
|
|
work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form
|
|
of a work.
|
|
|
|
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official standard
|
|
defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces
|
|
specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among
|
|
developers working in that language.
|
|
|
|
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the
|
|
work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
|
|
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only
|
|
to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a
|
|
Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in
|
|
source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major
|
|
essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific
|
|
operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler
|
|
used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
|
|
|
|
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source
|
|
code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
|
|
code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
|
|
However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose
|
|
tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in
|
|
performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
|
|
Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with
|
|
source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and
|
|
dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to
|
|
require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
|
|
subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
|
|
automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
|
|
|
|
2. Basic Permissions. All rights granted under this License are granted for
|
|
the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
|
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission
|
|
to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is
|
|
covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a
|
|
covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other
|
|
equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
|
|
|
|
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
|
|
conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey
|
|
covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications
|
|
exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
|
|
provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
|
|
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running
|
|
the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your
|
|
direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
|
|
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
|
|
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
|
|
unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. No covered
|
|
work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any
|
|
applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright
|
|
treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting
|
|
circumvention of such measures.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
|
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
|
|
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered
|
|
work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the
|
|
work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties'
|
|
legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
|
|
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's
|
|
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
|
|
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep
|
|
intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms
|
|
added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of
|
|
the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License
|
|
along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
|
|
may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
|
|
|
|
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. You may convey a work based on the
|
|
Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of
|
|
source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of
|
|
these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
|
|
and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
|
|
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
|
|
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
|
|
notices”.
|
|
|
|
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
|
|
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
|
|
apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole
|
|
of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This
|
|
License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it
|
|
does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
|
|
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
|
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
|
|
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need
|
|
not make them do so.
|
|
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
|
|
which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
|
|
not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a
|
|
storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation
|
|
and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights
|
|
of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion
|
|
of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the
|
|
other parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. You may convey a covered work in object code
|
|
form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
|
|
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one
|
|
of these ways:
|
|
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
|
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used
|
|
for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
|
|
offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer
|
|
spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone
|
|
who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding
|
|
Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this
|
|
License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
|
|
interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically
|
|
performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
|
|
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
|
|
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed
|
|
only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the
|
|
object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
|
|
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
|
|
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further
|
|
charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source
|
|
along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a
|
|
network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server
|
|
(operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
|
|
facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object
|
|
code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what
|
|
server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure
|
|
that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
|
|
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
|
|
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the
|
|
work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
|
|
subsection 6d.
|
|
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the
|
|
Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying
|
|
the object code work.
|
|
|
|
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any tangible
|
|
personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household
|
|
purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.
|
|
In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall
|
|
be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a
|
|
particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that
|
|
class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
|
|
way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to
|
|
use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the
|
|
product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless
|
|
such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
|
|
|
|
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
|
|
authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute
|
|
modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified
|
|
version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure
|
|
that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case
|
|
prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
|
|
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a
|
|
transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is
|
|
transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of
|
|
how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under
|
|
this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this
|
|
requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the
|
|
ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the
|
|
work has been installed in ROM).
|
|
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
|
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a
|
|
work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User
|
|
Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be
|
|
denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
|
|
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication
|
|
across the network.
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
|
|
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and
|
|
with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must
|
|
require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
|
|
|
|
7. Additional Terms. “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the
|
|
terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
|
|
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be
|
|
treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they
|
|
are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part
|
|
of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but
|
|
the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the
|
|
additional permissions.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
|
|
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
|
|
permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when
|
|
you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added
|
|
by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
|
|
permission.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
|
|
covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that
|
|
material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
|
|
|
|
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
|
|
of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
|
|
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
|
|
displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
|
|
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable
|
|
ways as different from the original version; or
|
|
|
|
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
|
|
authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
|
|
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
|
|
|
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
|
|
anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
|
|
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability
|
|
that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and
|
|
authors.
|
|
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
|
|
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received
|
|
it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this
|
|
License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that
|
|
term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits
|
|
relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work
|
|
material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the
|
|
further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must
|
|
place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that
|
|
apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable
|
|
terms.
|
|
|
|
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
|
|
separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements
|
|
apply either way.
|
|
|
|
8. Termination. You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as
|
|
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
|
|
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
|
|
License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of
|
|
section 11).
|
|
|
|
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a
|
|
particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until
|
|
the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b)
|
|
permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by
|
|
some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
|
|
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
|
|
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation
|
|
of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the
|
|
violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses
|
|
of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If
|
|
your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not
|
|
qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
|
|
|
|
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. You are not required to accept
|
|
this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary
|
|
propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using
|
|
peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
|
|
acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to
|
|
propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you
|
|
do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered
|
|
work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
|
|
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. Each time you convey a
|
|
covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
|
|
licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License.
|
|
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
|
|
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
|
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work
|
|
results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who
|
|
receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the
|
|
party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous
|
|
paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work
|
|
from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with
|
|
reasonable efforts.
|
|
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
|
|
granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
|
|
license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under
|
|
this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or
|
|
counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by
|
|
making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
|
|
portion of it.
|
|
|
|
11. Patents. A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under
|
|
this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work
|
|
thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
|
|
|
|
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
|
|
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,
|
|
that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making,
|
|
using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that
|
|
would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
|
|
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the
|
|
right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements
|
|
of this License.
|
|

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
|
|
license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell,
|
|
offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of
|
|
its contributor version.
|
|
|
|
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement
|
|
or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an
|
|
express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent
|
|
infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such
|
|
an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
|
|
|
|
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
|
|
charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available
|
|
network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1)
|
|
cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
|
|
yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3)
|
|
arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to
|
|
extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means
|
|
you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
|
|
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a
|
|
country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that
|
|
you have reason to believe are valid.
|
|
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
|
|
convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a
|
|
patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing
|
|
them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work,
|
|
then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients
|
|
of the covered work and works based on it.
|
|
|
|
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope
|
|
of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the
|
|
non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under
|
|
this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an
|
|
arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing
|
|
software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent
|
|
of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party
|
|
grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a
|
|
discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered
|
|
work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for
|
|
and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
|
|
covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
|
|
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any
|
|
implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
|
|
available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
|
|
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. If conditions are imposed on you
|
|
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
|
|
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
|
License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously
|
|
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then
|
|
as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to
|
|
terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those
|
|
to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
|
|
terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the
|
|
Program.
|
|
|
|
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other
|
|
provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered
|
|
work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
|
|
License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The
|
|
terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered
|
|
work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
|
|
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
|
|
combination as such.
|
|
|
|
14. Revised Versions of this License. The Free Software Foundation may
|
|
publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from
|
|
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
|
|
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License
|
|
“or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the
|
|
terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version
|
|
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
|
|
version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version
|
|
ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the
|
|
GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of
|
|
acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for
|
|
the Program.
|
|
|
|
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
|
|
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
|
|
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
|
|
|
|
15. Disclaimer of Warranty. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE
|
|
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
|
|
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT
|
|
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
|
|
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
|
|
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
|
|
WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
|
|
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
16. Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
|
|
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
|
|
MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
|
|
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
|
|
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE 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 <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
|
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
|
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like
|
|
this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program comes with
|
|
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free
|
|
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain
|
|
conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
|
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might
|
|
be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if
|
|
any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more
|
|
information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
|
|
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
|
|
|
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
|
|
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
|
|
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
|
|
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public
|
|
License instead of this License. But first, please read
|
|
<https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
