56 | + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
57 | + Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
58 | + |
59 | + Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
60 | + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
61 | + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
62 | + |
63 | + Preamble |
64 | + |
65 | + The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for |
66 | +software and other kinds of works. |
67 | + |
68 | + The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed |
69 | +to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
70 | +the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
71 | +share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
72 | +software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
73 | +GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
74 | +any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
75 | +your programs, too. |
76 | + |
77 | + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
78 | +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
79 | +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
80 | +them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
81 | +want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
82 | +free programs, and that you know you can do these things. |
83 | + |
84 | + To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you |
85 | +these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
86 | +certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
87 | +you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
88 | + |
89 | + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
90 | +gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
91 | +freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
92 | +or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
93 | +know their rights. |
94 | + |
95 | + Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
96 | +(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
97 | +giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
98 | + |
99 | + For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
100 | +that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
101 | +authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
102 | +changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
103 | +authors of previous versions. |
104 | + |
105 | + Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
106 | +modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
107 | +can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
108 | +protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
109 | +pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
110 | +use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
111 | +have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
112 | +products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
113 | +stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
114 | +of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
115 | + |
116 | + Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
117 | +States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
118 | +software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
119 | +avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
120 | +make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
121 | +patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. |
122 | + |
123 | + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
124 | +modification follow. |
125 | + |
126 | + TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
127 | + |
128 | + 0. Definitions. |
129 | + |
130 | + "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
131 | + |
132 | + "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
133 | +works, such as semiconductor masks. |
134 | + |
135 | + "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
136 | +License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
137 | +"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
138 | + |
139 | + To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
140 | +in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
141 | +exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |
142 | +earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. |
143 | + |
144 | + A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
145 | +on the Program. |
146 | + |
147 | + To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
148 | +permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
149 | +infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
150 | +computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
151 | +distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
152 | +public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
153 | + |
154 | + To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |
155 | +parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
156 | +a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
157 | + |
158 | + An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
159 | +to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
160 | +feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
161 | +tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
162 | +extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
163 | +work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
164 | +the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
165 | +menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
166 | + |
167 | + 1. Source Code. |
168 | + |
169 | + The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |
170 | +for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
171 | +form of a work. |
172 | + |
173 | + A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
174 | +standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
175 | +interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
176 | +is widely used among developers working in that language. |
177 | + |
178 | + The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
179 | +than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
180 | +packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
181 | +Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
182 | +Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
183 | +implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
184 | +"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
185 | +(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
186 | +(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
187 | +produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
188 | + |
189 | + The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
190 | +the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
191 | +work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
192 | +control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
193 | +System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
194 | +programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
195 | +which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
196 | +includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
197 | +the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
198 | +linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
199 | +such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
200 | +subprograms and other parts of the work. |
201 | + |
202 | + The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
203 | +can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
204 | +Source. |
205 | + |
206 | + The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
207 | +same work. |
208 | + |
209 | + 2. Basic Permissions. |
210 | + |
211 | + All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
212 | +copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
213 | +conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
214 | +permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
215 | +covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
216 | +content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
217 | +rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
218 | + |
219 | + You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |
220 | +convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
221 | +in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
222 | +of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
223 | +with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
224 | +the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
225 | +not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
226 | +for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
227 | +and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
228 | +your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
229 | + |
230 | + Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
231 | +the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
232 | +makes it unnecessary. |
233 | + |
234 | + 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
235 | + |
236 | + No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
237 | +measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
238 | +11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
239 | +similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
240 | +measures. |
241 | + |
242 | + When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
243 | +circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
244 | +is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
245 | +the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
246 | +modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
247 | +users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
248 | +technological measures. |
249 | + |
250 | + 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
251 | + |
252 | + You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
253 | +receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
254 | +appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
255 | +keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
256 | +non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
257 | +keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
258 | +recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
259 | + |
260 | + You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
261 | +and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
262 | + |
263 | + 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
264 | + |
265 | + You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to |
266 | +produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
267 | +terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
268 | + |
269 | + a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified |
270 | + it, and giving a relevant date. |
271 | + |
272 | + b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is |
273 | + released under this License and any conditions added under section |
274 | + 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to |
275 | + "keep intact all notices". |
276 | + |
277 | + c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this |
278 | + License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This |
279 | + License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 |
280 | + additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, |
281 | + regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no |
282 | + permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not |
283 | + invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
284 | + |
285 | + d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
286 | + Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
287 | + interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your |
288 | + work need not make them do so. |
289 | + |
290 | + A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
291 | +works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
292 | +and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, |
293 | +in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an |
294 | +"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not |
295 | +used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users |
296 | +beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work |
297 | +in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
298 | +parts of the aggregate. |
299 | + |
300 | + 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
301 | + |
302 | + You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms |
303 | +of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the |
304 | +machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, |
305 | +in one of these ways: |
306 | + |
307 | + a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
308 | + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the |
309 | + Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium |
310 | + customarily used for software interchange. |
311 | + |
312 | + b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
313 | + (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a |
314 | + written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as |
315 | + long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product |
316 | + model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a |
317 | + copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the |
318 | + product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical |
319 | + medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
320 | + more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this |
321 | + conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the |
322 | + Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. |
323 | + |
324 | + c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the |
325 | + written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This |
326 | + alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and |
327 | + only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord |
328 | + with subsection 6b. |
329 | + |
330 | + d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated |
331 | + place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the |
332 | + Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no |
333 | + further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the |
334 | + Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to |
335 | + copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source |
336 | + may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) |
337 | + that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain |
338 | + clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
339 | + Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
340 | + Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is |
341 | + available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. |
342 | + |
343 | + e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided |
344 | + you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding |
345 | + Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no |
346 | + charge under subsection 6d. |
347 | + |
348 | + A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded |
349 | +from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be |
350 | +included in conveying the object code work. |
351 | + |
352 | + A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any |
353 | +tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, |
354 | +or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation |
355 | +into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, |
356 | +doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular |
357 | +product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a |
358 | +typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status |
359 | +of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user |
360 | +actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product |
361 | +is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial |
362 | +commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent |
363 | +the only significant mode of use of the product. |
364 | + |
365 | + "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, |
366 | +procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install |
367 | +and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from |
368 | +a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must |
369 | +suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object |
370 | +code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because |
371 | +modification has been made. |
372 | + |
373 | + If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
374 | +specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as |
375 | +part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the |
376 | +User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a |
377 | +fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the |
378 | +Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied |
379 | +by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply |
380 | +if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install |
381 | +modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has |
382 | +been installed in ROM). |
383 | + |
384 | + The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
385 | +requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates |
386 | +for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for |
387 | +the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a |
388 | +network may be denied when the modification itself materially and |
389 | +adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and |
390 | +protocols for communication across the network. |
391 | + |
392 | + Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, |
393 | +in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly |
394 | +documented (and with an implementation available to the public in |
395 | +source code form), and must require no special password or key for |
396 | +unpacking, reading or copying. |
397 | + |
398 | + 7. Additional Terms. |
399 | + |
400 | + "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this |
401 | +License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. |
402 | +Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall |
403 | +be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent |
404 | +that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions |
405 | +apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately |
406 | +under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by |
407 | +this License without regard to the additional permissions. |
408 | + |
409 | + When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option |
410 | +remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of |
411 | +it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own |
412 | +removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place |
413 | +additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, |
414 | +for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. |
415 | + |
416 | + Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you |
417 | +add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of |
418 | +that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: |
419 | + |
420 | + a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the |
421 | + terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
422 | + |
423 | + b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or |
424 | + author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal |
425 | + Notices displayed by works containing it; or |
426 | + |
427 | + c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
428 | + requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in |
429 | + reasonable ways as different from the original version; or |
430 | + |
431 | + d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or |
432 | + authors of the material; or |
433 | + |
434 | + e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some |
435 | + trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
436 | + |
437 | + f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that |
438 | + material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of |
439 | + it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for |
440 | + any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on |
441 | + those licensors and authors. |
442 | + |
443 | + All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further |
444 | +restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you |
445 | +received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is |
446 | +governed by this License along with a term that is a further |
447 | +restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains |
448 | +a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this |
449 | +License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms |
450 | +of that license document, provided that the further restriction does |
451 | +not survive such relicensing or conveying. |
452 | + |
453 | + If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you |
454 | +must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the |
455 | +additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating |
456 | +where to find the applicable terms. |
457 | + |
458 | + Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the |
459 | +form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; |
460 | +the above requirements apply either way. |
461 | + |
462 | + 8. Termination. |
463 | + |
464 | + You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly |
465 | +provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or |
466 | +modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under |
467 | +this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third |
468 | +paragraph of section 11). |
469 | + |
470 | + However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your |
471 | +license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) |
472 | +provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and |
473 | +finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright |
474 | +holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means |
475 | +prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
476 | + |
477 | + Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is |
478 | +reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the |
479 | +violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have |
480 | +received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that |
481 | +copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after |
482 | +your receipt of the notice. |
483 | + |
484 | + Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the |
485 | +licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under |
486 | +this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently |
487 | +reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same |
488 | +material under section 10. |
489 | + |
490 | + 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
491 | + |
492 | + You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or |
493 | +run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work |
494 | +occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission |
495 | +to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, |
496 | +nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or |
497 | +modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do |
498 | +not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a |
499 | +covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. |
500 | + |
501 | + 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
502 | + |
503 | + Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically |
504 | +receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and |
505 | +propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible |
506 | +for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. |
507 | + |
508 | + An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an |
509 | +organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
510 | +organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered |
511 | +work results from an entity transaction, each party to that |
512 | +transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever |
513 | +licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could |
514 | +give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the |
515 | +Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if |
516 | +the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
517 | + |
518 | + You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the |
519 | +rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may |
520 | +not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of |
521 | +rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation |
522 | +(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
523 | +any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for |
524 | +sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. |
525 | + |
526 | + 11. Patents. |
527 | + |
528 | + A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this |
529 | +License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The |
530 | +work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". |
531 | + |
532 | + A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims |
533 | +owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or |
534 | +hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted |
535 | +by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, |
536 | +but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a |
537 | +consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For |
538 | +purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant |
539 | +patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
540 | +this License. |
541 | + |
542 | + Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
543 | +patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
544 | +make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
545 | +propagate the contents of its contributor version. |
546 | + |
547 | + In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express |
548 | +agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent |
549 | +(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to |
550 | +sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a |
551 | +party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a |
552 | +patent against the party. |
553 | + |
554 | + If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, |
555 | +and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone |
556 | +to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a |
557 | +publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, |
558 | +then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so |
559 | +available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the |
560 | +patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner |
561 | +consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
562 | +license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have |
563 | +actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the |
564 | +covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work |
565 | +in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that |
566 | +country that you have reason to believe are valid. |
567 | + |
568 | + If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or |
569 | +arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a |
570 | +covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties |
571 | +receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify |
572 | +or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license |
573 | +you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered |
574 | +work and works based on it. |
575 | + |
576 | + A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within |
577 | +the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is |
578 | +conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are |
579 | +specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered |
580 | +work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is |
581 | +in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment |
582 | +to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying |
583 | +the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
584 | +parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
585 | +patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work |
586 | +conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily |
587 | +for and in connection with specific products or compilations that |
588 | +contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, |
589 | +or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. |
590 | + |
591 | + Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting |
592 | +any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may |
593 | +otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. |
594 | + |
595 | + 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
596 | + |
597 | + If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
598 | +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
599 | +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
600 | +covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
601 | +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
602 | +not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
603 | +to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
604 | +the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
605 | +License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
606 | + |
607 | + 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. |
608 | + |
609 | + Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
610 | +permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
611 | +under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
612 | +combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this |
613 | +License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
614 | +but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
615 | +section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
616 | +combination as such. |
617 | + |
618 | + 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
619 | + |
620 | + The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of |
621 | +the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
622 | +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
623 | +address new problems or concerns. |
624 | + |
625 | + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
626 | +Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
627 | +Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the |
628 | +option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
629 | +version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
630 | +Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
631 | +GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
632 | +by the Free Software Foundation. |
633 | + |
634 | + If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future |
635 | +versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
636 | +public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
637 | +to choose that version for the Program. |
638 | + |
639 | + Later license versions may give you additional or different |
640 | +permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
641 | +author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
642 | +later version. |
643 | + |
644 | + 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
645 | + |
646 | + THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
647 | +APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
648 | +HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
649 | +OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
650 | +THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
651 | +PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM |
652 | +IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF |
653 | +ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
654 | + |
655 | + 16. Limitation of Liability. |
656 | + |
657 | + IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
658 | +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS |
659 | +THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
660 | +GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
661 | +USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
662 | +DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
663 | +PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), |
664 | +EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF |
665 | +SUCH DAMAGES. |
666 | + |
667 | + 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. |
668 | + |
669 | + If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided |
670 | +above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, |
671 | +reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates |
672 | +an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the |
673 | +Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a |
674 | +copy of the Program in return for a fee. |
675 | + |
676 | + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
677 | + |
678 | + How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
679 | + |
680 | + If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
681 | +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
682 | +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
683 | + |
684 | + To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
685 | +to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
686 | +state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
687 | +the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
688 | + |
689 | + <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
690 | + Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
691 | + |
692 | + This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify |
693 | + it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
694 | + the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or |
695 | + (at your option) any later version. |
696 | + |
697 | + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
698 | + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
699 | + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
700 | + GNU General Public License for more details. |
701 | + |
702 | + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
703 | + along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
704 | + |
705 | +Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
706 | + |
707 | + If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short |
708 | +notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
709 | + |
710 | + <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
711 | + This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
712 | + This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
713 | + under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
714 | + |
715 | +The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
716 | +parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands |
717 | +might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". |
718 | + |
719 | + You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
720 | +if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. |
721 | +For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see |
722 | +<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
723 | + |
724 | + The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program |
725 | +into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you |
726 | +may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with |
727 | +the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
728 | +Public License instead of this License. But first, please read |
729 | +<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. |
This may not be exactly what we want, but I think it's an improvement on where we currently are.
