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

523 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
524 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
525 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
526 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
527 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
528 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
529 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
530 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
531 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
532 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
533 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
534 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
535 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
536 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
537
538 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
539 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
540 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
541
542 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
543
544 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
545 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
546 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
547 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
548 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
549 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
550 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
551 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
552 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
553
554 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
555
556 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
557 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
558 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
559 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
560 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
561 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
562 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
563 combination as such.
564
565 14. Revised Versions of this License.
566
567 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
568 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
569 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
570 address new problems or concerns.
571
572 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
573 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
574 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
575 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
576 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
577 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
578 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
579 by the Free Software Foundation.
580
581 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
582 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
583 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
584 to choose that version for the Program.
585
586 Later license versions may give you additional or different
587 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
588 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
589 later version.
590
591 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
592
593 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
594 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
595 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
596 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
597 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
598 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
599 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
600 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
601
602 16. Limitation of Liability.
603
604 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
605 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
606 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
607 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
608 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
609 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
610 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
611 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
612 SUCH DAMAGES.
613
614 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
615
616 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
617 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
618 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
619 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
620 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
621 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
622
623 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
624
625 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
626
627 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
628 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
629 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
630
631 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
632 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
633 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
634 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
635
636
637 Copyright (C)
638
639 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
640 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
641 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
642 (at your option) any later version.
643
644 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
645 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
646 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
647 GNU General Public License for more details.
648
649 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
650 along with this program. If not, see .
651
652 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
653
654 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
655 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
656
657 Copyright (C)
658 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
659 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
660 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
661
662 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
663 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
664 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
665
666 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
667 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
668 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
669 .
670
671 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
672 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
673 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
674 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
675 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
676 . |
