1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
2 | |
3 Version 3, 29 June 2007 | |
4 | |
5 | |
6 | |
7 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> | |
8 | |
9 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
10 | |
11 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
12 | |
13 | |
14 | |
15 Preamble | |
16 | |
17 | |
18 | |
19 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
20 | |
21 software and other kinds of works. | |
22 | |
23 | |
24 | |
25 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
26 | |
27 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
28 | |
29 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to | |
30 | |
31 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free | |
32 | |
33 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the | |
34 | |
35 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to | |
36 | |
37 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to | |
38 | |
39 your programs, too. | |
40 | |
41 | |
42 | |
43 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
44 | |
45 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
46 | |
47 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
48 | |
49 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | |
50 | |
51 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
52 | |
53 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
54 | |
55 | |
56 | |
57 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
58 | |
59 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have | |
60 | |
61 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if | |
62 | |
63 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. | |
64 | |
65 | |
66 | |
67 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
68 | |
69 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
70 | |
71 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | |
72 | |
73 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | |
74 | |
75 know their rights. | |
76 | |
77 | |
78 | |
79 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | |
80 | |
81 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
82 | |
83 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
84 | |
85 | |
86 | |
87 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | |
88 | |
89 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
90 | |
91 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
92 | |
93 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
94 | |
95 authors of previous versions. | |
96 | |
97 | |
98 | |
99 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | |
100 | |
101 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer | |
102 | |
103 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of | |
104 | |
105 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic | |
106 | |
107 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to | |
108 | |
109 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we | |
110 | |
111 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those | |
112 | |
113 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we | |
114 | |
115 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions | |
116 | |
117 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. | |
118 | |
119 | |
120 | |
121 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
122 | |
123 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
124 | |
125 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | |
126 | |
127 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could | |
128 | |
129 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | |
130 | |
131 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
132 | |
133 | |
134 | |
135 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
136 | |
137 modification follow. | |
138 | |
139 | |
140 | |
141 TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
142 | |
143 | |
144 | |
145 0. Definitions. | |
146 | |
147 | |
148 | |
149 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
150 | |
151 | |
152 | |
153 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of | |
154 | |
155 works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
156 | |
157 | |
158 | |
159 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
160 | |
161 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | |
162 | |
163 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | |
164 | |
165 | |
166 | |
167 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
168 | |
169 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an | |
170 | |
171 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the | |
172 | |
173 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | |
174 | |
175 | |
176 | |
177 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
178 | |
179 on the Program. | |
180 | |
181 | |
182 | |
183 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
184 | |
185 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
186 | |
187 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
188 | |
189 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
190 | |
191 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
192 | |
193 public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
194 | |
195 | |
196 | |
197 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
198 | |
199 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through | |
200 | |
201 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | |
202 | |
203 | |
204 | |
205 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" | |
206 | |
207 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
208 | |
209 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
210 | |
211 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
212 | |
213 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
214 | |
215 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
216 | |
217 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
218 | |
219 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
220 | |
221 | |
222 | |
223 1. Source Code. | |
224 | |
225 | |
226 | |
227 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | |
228 | |
229 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source | |
230 | |
231 form of a work. | |
232 | |
233 | |
234 | |
235 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | |
236 | |
237 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
238 | |
239 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
240 | |
241 is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
242 | |
243 | |
244 | |
245 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | |
246 | |
247 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
248 | |
249 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
250 | |
251 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
252 | |
253 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
254 | |
255 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
256 | |
257 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | |
258 | |
259 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
260 | |
261 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
262 | |
263 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
264 | |
265 | |
266 | |
267 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | |
268 | |
269 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
270 | |
271 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
272 | |
273 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
274 | |
275 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
276 | |
277 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
278 | |
279 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
280 | |
281 includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
282 | |
283 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
284 | |
285 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
286 | |
287 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
288 | |
289 subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
290 | |
291 | |
292 | |
293 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users | |
294 | |
295 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding | |
296 | |
297 Source. | |
298 | |
299 | |
300 | |
301 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that | |
302 | |
303 same work. | |
304 | |
305 | |
306 | |
307 2. Basic Permissions. | |
308 | |
309 | |
310 | |
311 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
312 | |
313 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
314 | |
315 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
316 | |
317 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
318 | |
319 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
320 | |
321 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
322 | |
323 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
324 | |
325 | |
326 | |
327 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not | |
328 | |
329 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains | |
330 | |
331 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | |
332 | |
333 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you | |
334 | |
335 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with | |
336 | |
337 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do | |
338 | |
339 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works | |
340 | |
341 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction | |
342 | |
343 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of | |
344 | |
345 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
346 | |
347 | |
348 | |
349 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under | |
350 | |
351 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
352 | |
353 makes it unnecessary. | |
354 | |
355 | |
356 | |
357 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
358 | |
359 | |
360 | |
361 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
362 | |
363 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
364 | |
365 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
366 | |
367 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
368 | |
369 measures. | |
370 | |
371 | |
372 | |
373 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
374 | |
375 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention | |
376 | |
377 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to | |
378 | |
379 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or | |
380 | |
381 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | |
382 | |
383 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of | |
384 | |
385 technological measures. | |
386 | |
387 | |
388 | |
389 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
390 | |
391 | |
392 | |
393 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
394 | |
395 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
396 | |
397 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
398 | |
399 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
400 | |
401 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
402 | |
403 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
404 | |
405 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
406 | |
407 | |
408 | |
409 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
410 | |
411 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
412 | |
413 | |
414 | |
415 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
416 | |
417 | |
418 | |
419 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
420 | |
421 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
422 | |
423 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
424 | |
425 | |
426 | |
427 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | |
428 | |
429 it, and giving a relevant date. | |
430 | |
431 | |
432 | |
433 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | |
434 | |
435 released under this License and any conditions added under section | |
436 | |
437 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | |
438 | |
439 "keep intact all notices". | |
440 | |
441 | |
442 | |
443 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | |
444 | |
445 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | |
446 | |
447 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | |
448 | |
449 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | |
450 | |
451 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | |
452 | |
453 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | |
454 | |
455 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | |
456 | |
457 | |
458 | |
459 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
460 | |
461 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
462 | |
463 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | |
464 | |
465 work need not make them do so. | |
466 | |
467 | |
468 | |
469 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
470 | |
471 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
472 | |
473 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
474 | |
475 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
476 | |
477 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
478 | |
479 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
480 | |
481 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
482 | |
483 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
484 | |
485 parts of the aggregate. | |
486 | |
487 | |
488 | |
489 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
490 | |
491 | |
492 | |
493 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | |
494 | |
495 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | |
496 | |
497 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | |
498 | |
499 in one of these ways: | |
500 | |
501 | |
502 | |
503 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
504 | |
505 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
506 | |
507 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | |
508 | |
509 customarily used for software interchange. | |
510 | |
511 | |
512 | |
513 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
514 | |
515 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | |
516 | |
517 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | |
518 | |
519 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | |
520 | |
521 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | |
522 | |
523 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | |
524 | |
525 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | |
526 | |
527 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | |
528 | |
529 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | |
530 | |
531 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | |
532 | |
533 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
534 | |
535 | |
536 | |
537 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | |
538 | |
539 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | |
540 | |
541 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | |
542 | |
543 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | |
544 | |
545 with subsection 6b. | |
546 | |
547 | |
548 | |
549 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | |
550 | |
551 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
552 | |
553 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
554 | |
555 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
556 | |
557 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | |
558 | |
559 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | |
560 | |
561 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | |
562 | |
563 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | |
564 | |
565 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | |
566 | |
567 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | |
568 | |
569 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | |
570 | |
571 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | |
572 | |
573 | |
574 | |
575 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | |
576 | |
577 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | |
578 | |
579 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | |
580 | |
581 charge under subsection 6d. | |
582 | |
583 | |
584 | |
585 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
586 | |
587 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
588 | |
589 included in conveying the object code work. | |
590 | |
591 | |
592 | |
593 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | |
594 | |
595 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | |
596 | |
597 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | |
598 | |
599 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | |
600 | |
601 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | |
602 | |
603 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | |
604 | |
605 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | |
606 | |
607 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | |
608 | |
609 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | |
610 | |
611 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | |
612 | |
613 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | |
614 | |
615 the only significant mode of use of the product. | |
616 | |
617 | |
618 | |
619 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | |
620 | |
621 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | |
622 | |
623 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | |
624 | |
625 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | |
626 | |
627 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | |
628 | |
629 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | |
630 | |
631 modification has been made. | |
632 | |
633 | |
634 | |
635 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
636 | |
637 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
638 | |
639 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
640 | |
641 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
642 | |
643 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
644 | |
645 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
646 | |
647 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
648 | |
649 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
650 | |
651 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
652 | |
653 been installed in ROM). | |
654 | |
655 | |
656 | |
657 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
658 | |
659 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | |
660 | |
661 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | |
662 | |
663 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | |
664 | |
665 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | |
666 | |
667 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | |
668 | |
669 protocols for communication across the network. | |
670 | |
671 | |
672 | |
673 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
674 | |
675 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
676 | |
677 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
678 | |
679 source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
680 | |
681 unpacking, reading or copying. | |
682 | |
683 | |
684 | |
685 7. Additional Terms. | |
686 | |
687 | |
688 | |
689 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
690 | |
691 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
692 | |
693 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
694 | |
695 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
696 | |
697 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
698 | |
699 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
700 | |
701 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
702 | |
703 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
704 | |
705 | |
706 | |
707 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
708 | |
709 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
710 | |
711 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
712 | |
713 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
714 | |
715 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
716 | |
717 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
718 | |
719 | |
720 | |
721 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
722 | |
723 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | |
724 | |
725 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
726 | |
727 | |
728 | |
729 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | |
730 | |
731 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
732 | |
733 | |
734 | |
735 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | |
736 | |
737 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | |
738 | |
739 Notices displayed by works containing it; or | |
740 | |
741 | |
742 | |
743 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
744 | |
745 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
746 | |
747 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
748 | |
749 | |
750 | |
751 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
752 | |
753 authors of the material; or | |
754 | |
755 | |
756 | |
757 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | |
758 | |
759 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
760 | |
761 | |
762 | |
763 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | |
764 | |
765 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | |
766 | |
767 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | |
768 | |
769 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | |
770 | |
771 those licensors and authors. | |
772 | |
773 | |
774 | |
775 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | |
776 | |
777 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
778 | |
779 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
780 | |
781 governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
782 | |
783 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
784 | |
785 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
786 | |
787 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
788 | |
789 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
790 | |
791 not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
792 | |
793 | |
794 | |
795 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
796 | |
797 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
798 | |
799 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
800 | |
801 where to find the applicable terms. | |
802 | |
803 | |
804 | |
805 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
806 | |
807 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | |
808 | |
809 the above requirements apply either way. | |
810 | |
811 | |
812 | |
813 8. Termination. | |
814 | |
815 | |
816 | |
817 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
818 | |
819 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
820 | |
821 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
822 | |
823 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
824 | |
825 paragraph of section 11). | |
826 | |
827 | |
828 | |
829 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | |
830 | |
831 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | |
832 | |
833 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | |
834 | |
835 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | |
836 | |
837 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | |
838 | |
839 prior to 60 days after the cessation. | |
840 | |
841 | |
842 | |
843 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
844 | |
845 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
846 | |
847 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
848 | |
849 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
850 | |
851 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
852 | |
853 your receipt of the notice. | |
854 | |
855 | |
856 | |
857 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
858 | |
859 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
860 | |
861 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
862 | |
863 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
864 | |
865 material under section 10. | |
866 | |
867 | |
868 | |
869 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
870 | |
871 | |
872 | |
873 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | |
874 | |
875 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
876 | |
877 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
878 | |
879 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
880 | |
881 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
882 | |
883 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
884 | |
885 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
886 | |
887 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
888 | |
889 | |
890 | |
891 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
892 | |
893 | |
894 | |
895 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
896 | |
897 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
898 | |
899 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
900 | |
901 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
902 | |
903 | |
904 | |
905 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | |
906 | |
907 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
908 | |
909 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
910 | |
911 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
912 | |
913 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
914 | |
915 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
916 | |
917 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
918 | |
919 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
920 | |
921 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
922 | |
923 | |
924 | |
925 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
926 | |
927 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
928 | |
929 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
930 | |
931 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
932 | |
933 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
934 | |
935 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
936 | |
937 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
938 | |
939 | |
940 | |
941 11. Patents. | |
942 | |
943 | |
944 | |
945 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
946 | |
947 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
948 | |
949 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | |
950 | |
951 | |
952 | |
953 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | |
954 | |
955 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
956 | |
957 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
958 | |
959 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
960 | |
961 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
962 | |
963 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
964 | |
965 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | |
966 | |
967 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
968 | |
969 this License. | |
970 | |
971 | |
972 | |
973 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
974 | |
975 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
976 | |
977 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
978 | |
979 propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
980 | |
981 | |
982 | |
983 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | |
984 | |
985 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
986 | |
987 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
988 | |
989 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | |
990 | |
991 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
992 | |
993 patent against the party. | |
994 | |
995 | |
996 | |
997 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
998 | |
999 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
1000 | |
1001 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
1002 | |
1003 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
1004 | |
1005 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
1006 | |
1007 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
1008 | |
1009 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
1010 | |
1011 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
1012 | |
1013 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | |
1014 | |
1015 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
1016 | |
1017 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
1018 | |
1019 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
1020 | |
1021 country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
1022 | |
1023 | |
1024 | |
1025 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
1026 | |
1027 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
1028 | |
1029 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
1030 | |
1031 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
1032 | |
1033 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
1034 | |
1035 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
1036 | |
1037 work and works based on it. | |
1038 | |
1039 | |
1040 | |
1041 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | |
1042 | |
1043 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | |
1044 | |
1045 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | |
1046 | |
1047 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | |
1048 | |
1049 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | |
1050 | |
1051 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | |
1052 | |
1053 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | |
1054 | |
1055 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | |
1056 | |
1057 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | |
1058 | |
1059 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | |
1060 | |
1061 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | |
1062 | |
1063 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | |
1064 | |
1065 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | |
1066 | |
1067 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
1068 | |
1069 | |
1070 | |
1071 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
1072 | |
1073 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
1074 | |
1075 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
1076 | |
1077 | |
1078 | |
1079 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
1080 | |
1081 | |
1082 | |
1083 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
1084 | |
1085 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
1086 | |
1087 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a | |
1088 | |
1089 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
1090 | |
1091 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may | |
1092 | |
1093 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you | |
1094 | |
1095 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey | |
1096 | |
1097 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this | |
1098 | |
1099 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. | |
1100 | |
1101 | |
1102 | |
1103 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
1104 | |
1105 | |
1106 | |
1107 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
1108 | |
1109 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
1110 | |
1111 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
1112 | |
1113 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
1114 | |
1115 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
1116 | |
1117 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
1118 | |
1119 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
1120 | |
1121 combination as such. | |
1122 | |
1123 | |
1124 | |
1125 14. Revised Versions of this License. | |
1126 | |
1127 | |
1128 | |
1129 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | |
1130 | |
1131 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
1132 | |
1133 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
1134 | |
1135 address new problems or concerns. | |
1136 | |
1137 | |
1138 | |
1139 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the | |
1140 | |
1141 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General | |
1142 | |
1143 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the | |
1144 | |
1145 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered | |
1146 | |
1147 version or of any later version published by the Free Software | |
1148 | |
1149 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the | |
1150 | |
1151 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published | |
1152 | |
1153 by the Free Software Foundation. | |
1154 | |
1155 | |
1156 | |
1157 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future | |
1158 | |
1159 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's | |
1160 | |
1161 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | |
1162 | |
1163 to choose that version for the Program. | |
1164 | |
1165 | |
1166 | |
1167 Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
1168 | |
1169 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
1170 | |
1171 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
1172 | |
1173 later version. | |
1174 | |
1175 | |
1176 | |
1177 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
1178 | |
1179 | |
1180 | |
1181 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
1182 | |
1183 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | |
1184 | |
1185 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | |
1186 | |
1187 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
1188 | |
1189 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
1190 | |
1191 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | |
1192 | |
1193 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | |
1194 | |
1195 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
1196 | |
1197 | |
1198 | |
1199 16. Limitation of Liability. | |
1200 | |
1201 | |
1202 | |
1203 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
1204 | |
1205 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | |
1206 | |
1207 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY | |
1208 | |
1209 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE | |
1210 | |
1211 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF | |
1212 | |
1213 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD | |
1214 | |
1215 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), | |
1216 | |
1217 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF | |
1218 | |
1219 SUCH DAMAGES. | |
1220 | |
1221 | |
1222 | |
1223 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
1224 | |
1225 | |
1226 | |
1227 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
1228 | |
1229 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
1230 | |
1231 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
1232 | |
1233 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
1234 | |
1235 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
1236 | |

1245 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
1246 | |
1247 | |
1248 | |
1249 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
1250 | |
1251 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
1252 | |
1253 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
1254 | |
1255 | |
1256 | |
1257 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
1258 | |
1259 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
1260 | |
1261 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
1262 | |
1263 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
1264 | |
1265 | |
1266 | |
1267 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
1268 | |
1269 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |

1273 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
1274 | |
1275 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
1276 | |
1277 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | |
1278 | |
1279 (at your option) any later version. | |
1280 | |
1281 | |
1282 | |
1283 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
1284 | |
1285 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
1286 | |
1287 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | |
1288 | |
1289 GNU General Public License for more details. | |
1290 | |
1291 | |
1292 | |
1293 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | |
1294 | |
1295 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | |
1296 | |
1297 | |
1298 | |
1299 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
1300 | |
1301 | |
1302 | |
1303 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | |
1304 | |
1305 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
1306 | |
1307 | |
1308 | |
1309 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
1310 | |
1311 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | |
1312 | |
1313 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
1314 | |
1315 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | |
1316 | |
1317 | |
1318 | |
1319 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | |
1320 | |
1321 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands | |
1322 | |
1323 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". | |
1324 | |
1325 | |
1326 | |
1327 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
1328 | |
1329 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | |
1330 | |

1336 | |
1337 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program | |
1338 | |
1339 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you | |
1340 | |
1341 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with | |
1342 | |
1343 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General | |
1344 | |
1345 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read | |
