|
|
15
|
|
16 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
|
17 software and other kinds of works.
|
|
18
|
|
19 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
|
20 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
|
|
21 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom
|
|
22 to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains
|
|
23 free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
|
|
24 use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
|
|
25 applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You
|
|
26 can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
27
|
|
28 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
29 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|
30 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|
31 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
|
|
32 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
|
|
33 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
34
|
|
35 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
|
36 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you
|
|
37 have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
|
|
38 software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom
|
|
39 of others.
|
|
40
|
|
41 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
|
42 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
|
|
43 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too,
|
|
44 receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
|
|
45 terms so they know their rights.
|
|
46
|
|
47 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
|
48 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
|
|
49 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
|
|
50
|
|
51 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
|
52 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
|
|
53 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
|
|
54 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
|
|
55 authors of previous versions.
|
|
56
|
|
57 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
|
58 modified versions of the software inside them, although the
|
|
59 manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the
|
|
60 aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
|
|
61 systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
|
|
62 individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
|
|
63 Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
|
|
64 practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in
|
|
65 other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those
|
|
66 domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the
|
|
67 freedom of users.
|
|
68
|
|
69 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
|
70 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
|
|
71 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish
|
|
72 to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program
|
|
73 could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
|
|
74 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
|
75
|
|
76 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
77 modification follow.

82 @item Definitions.
|
|
83
|
|
84 ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
85
|
|
86 ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
|
|
87 of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
88
|
|
89 ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
|
90 License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and
|
|
91 ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations.
|
|
92
|
|
93 To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
|
94 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
|
|
95 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of
|
|
96 the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work.
|
|
97
|
|
98 A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
|
99 on the Program.
|
|
100
|
|
101 To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
|
102 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
|
103 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
|
|
104 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
|
|
105 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
|
106 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
|
|
107
|
|
108 To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
|
109 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
|
|
110 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
|
|
111 conveying.
|
|
112
|
|
113 An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to
|
|
114 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
|
|
115 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
|
|
116 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
|
|
117 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
|
|
118 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
|
|
119 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
|
|
120 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
|
|
121
|
|
122 @item Source Code.
|
|
123
|
|
124 The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|
125 making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form
|
|
126 of a work.
|
|
127
|
|
128 A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official
|
|
129 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
|
|
130 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
|
|
131 is widely used among developers working in that language.
|
|
132
|
|
133 The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other
|
|
134 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
|
|
135 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
|
|
136 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
|
|
137 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
|
|
138 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
|
|
139 ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component
|
|
140 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
|
|
141 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
|
|
142 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
|
|
143
|
|
144 The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all
|
|
145 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
|
|
146 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
|
|
147 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
|
|
148 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
|
|
149 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
|
|
150 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
|
|
151 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
|
|
152 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
|
|
153 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
|
|
154 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
|
|
155 subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
|
156
|
|
157 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
|
|
158 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
|
|
159
|
|
160 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
|
|
161 work.
|
|
162
|
|
163 @item Basic Permissions.
|
|
164
|
|
165 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
|
166 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
|
167 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
|
|
168 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
|
|
169 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
|
|
170 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
|
|
171 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
|
|
172
|
|
173 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
|
|
174 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
|
|
175 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
|
|
176 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
|
|
177 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
|
|
178 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
|
|
179 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
|
|
180 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
|
|
181 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
|
|
182 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
|
|
183
|
|
184 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
|
|
185 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
|
|
186 makes it unnecessary.
|
|
187
|
|
188 @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
189
|
|
190 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
|
|
191 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
|
|
192 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
|
|
193 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
|
|
194 measures.
|
|
195
|
|
196 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
|
197 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
|
|
198 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
|
|
199 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
|
|
200 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
|
|
201 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
|
|
202 circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
203
|
|
204 @item Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
205
|
|
206 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
|
|
207 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
|
208 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
|
|
209 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
|
|
210 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
|
|
211 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
|
|
212 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
213
|
|
214 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
|
|
215 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
|
|
216
|
|
217 @item Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
218
|
|
219 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
|
|
220 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
|
|
221 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
|
|
222 conditions:
|
|
223
|
|
224 @enumerate a
|
|
225 @item
|
|
226 The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
|
|
227 and giving a relevant date.
|
|
228
|
|
229 @item
|
|
230 The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
|
|
231 under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
|
|
232 requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all
|
|
233 notices''.
|
|
234
|
|
235 @item
|
|
236 You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
|
|
237 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will
|
|
238 therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms,
|
|
239 to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they
|
|
240 are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in
|
|
241 any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
|
|
242 separately received it.
|
|
243
|
|
244 @item
|
|
245 If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
|
246 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
|
|
247 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
|
|
248 need not make them do so.
|
|
249 @end enumerate
|
|
250
|
|
251 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
|
|
252 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
|
|
253 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
|
|
254 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
|
|
255 ``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
|
|
256 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
|
|
257 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
|
|
258 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
|
|
259 parts of the aggregate.
|
|
260
|
|
261 @item Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
|
262
|
|
263 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
|
|
264 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
|
|
265 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
|
|
266 ways:
|
|
267
|
|
268 @enumerate a
|
|
269 @item
|
|
270 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
271 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
|
272 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
|
|
273 used for software interchange.
|
|
274
|
|
275 @item
|
|
276 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
277 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
|
|
278 offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
|
|
279 offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
|
|
280 anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
|
|
281 Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
|
|
282 covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
|
|
283 for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable
|
|
284 cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
|
|
285 to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
286
|
|
287 @item
|
|
288 Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
|
|
289 offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
|
|
290 allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
|
|
291 received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
|
|
292 6b.
|
|
293
|
|
294 @item
|
|
295 Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
|
|
296 (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
297 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
|
|
298 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
|
|
299 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
|
|
300 the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be
|
|
301 on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
|
|
302 equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
|
|
303 next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
|
304 Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
|
|
305 obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
|
|
306 satisfy these requirements.
|
|
307
|
|
308 @item
|
|
309 Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
|
|
310 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
|
|
311 the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
|
|
312 subsection 6d.
|
|
313
|
|
314 @end enumerate
|
|
315
|
|
316 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
|
|
317 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
|
|
318 included in conveying the object code work.
|
|
319
|
|
320 A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any
|
|
321 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
|
|
322 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
|
|
323 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
|
|
324 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
|
|
325 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
|
|
326 ``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of
|
|
327 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
|
|
328 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
|
|
329 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
|
|
330 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
|
|
331 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
|
|
332 mode of use of the product.
|
|
333
|
|
334 ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods,
|
|
335 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
|
|
336 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
|
|
337 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
|
|
338 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
|
|
339 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
|
|
340 solely because modification has been made.
|
|
341
|
|
342 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
|
|
343 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
|
|
344 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
|
|
345 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
|
|
346 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
|
|
347 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
|
|
348 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
|
|
349 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
|
|
350 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
|
|
351 been installed in ROM).
|
|
352
|
|
353 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
|
354 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
|
|
355 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
|
|
356 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
|
|
357 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
|
|
358 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
|
|
359 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
|
|
360 network.
|
|
361
|
|
362 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
|
|
363 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
|
|
364 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
|
|
365 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
|
|
366 unpacking, reading or copying.
|
|
367
|
|
368 @item Additional Terms.
|
|
369
|
|
370 ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this
|
|
371 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
|
|
372 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
|
|
373 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
|
|
374 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
|
|
375 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
|
|
376 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
|
|
377 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
|
|
378
|
|
379 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
|
380 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
|
|
381 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
|
|
382 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
|
|
383 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
|
|
384 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
|
|
385
|
|
386 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
|
|
387 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
|
|
388 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
|
|
389

421 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further
|
|
422 restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
|
|
423 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
|
|
424 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
|
|
425 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
|
|
426 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
|
|
427 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
|
|
428 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
|
|
429 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
430
|
|
431 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
|
|
432 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
|
|
433 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
|
|
434 where to find the applicable terms.
|
|
435
|
|
436 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
|
|
437 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
|
|
438 above requirements apply either way.
|
|
439
|
|
440 @item Termination.
|
|
441
|
|
442 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
|
|
443 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
|
|
444 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
|
|
445 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
|
|
446 paragraph of section 11).
|
|
447
|
|
448 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
|
|
449 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
|
|
450 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
|
|
451 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
|
|
452 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
|
|
453 60 days after the cessation.
|
|
454
|
|
455 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
456 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
|
457 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
|
458 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
|
459 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
|
|
460 your receipt of the notice.
|
|
461
|
|
462 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
|
|
463 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
|
|
464 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
|
|
465 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
|
|
466 material under section 10.
|
|
467
|
|
468 @item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
469
|
|
470 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
|
|
471 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
|
|
472 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
|
|
473 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
|
|
474 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
|
|
475 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
|
|
476 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
|
|
477 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
478
|
|
479 @item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
480
|
|
481 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
|
|
482 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
|
|
483 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
|
|
484 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
|
|
485
|
|
486 An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an
|
|
487 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
|
488 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
|
|
489 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
|
|
490 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
|
|
491 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
|
|
492 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
|
|
493 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
|
|
494 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
|
|
495
|
|
496 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
|
|
497 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
|
|
498 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
|
|
499 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
|
|
500 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
|
|
501 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
|
|
502 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
|
|
503
|
|
504 @item Patents.
|
|
505
|
|
506 A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
|
507 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
|
|
508 work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''.
|
|
509
|
|
510 A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned
|
|
511 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
|
|
512 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
|
|
513 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
|
|
514 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
|
|
515 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
|
|
516 purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant
|
|
517 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
|
|
518 this License.
|
|
519
|
|
520 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
|
|
521 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
|
|
522 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
|
|
523 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
|
|
524
|
|
525 In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express
|
|
526 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
|
|
527 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
|
|
528 sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a
|
|
529 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
|
|
530 patent against the party.
|
|
531
|
|
532 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
|
|
533 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
|
|
534 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
|
|
535 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
|
|
536 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
|
|
537 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
|
|
538 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
|
|
539 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
|
|
540 license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have
|
|
541 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
|
|
542 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
|
|
543 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
|
|
544 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
|
|
545
|
|
546 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
|
547 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
|
|
548 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
|
|
549 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
|
|
550 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
|
|
551 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
|
|
552 work and works based on it.
|
|
553
|
|
554 A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the
|
|
555 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
|
|
556 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
|
|
557 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
|
|
558 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
|
|
559 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
|
|
560 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
|
|
561 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
|
|
562 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
|
|
563 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
|
|
564 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
|
|
565 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
|
|
566 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
|
|
567 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
568
|
|
569 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
|
|
570 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
|
|
571 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
572
|
|
573 @item No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
574
|
|
575 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
|
576 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
|
577 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey
|
|
578 a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
|
|
579 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
|
|
580 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree
|
|
581 to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
|
|
582 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
|
|
583 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
|
|
584 from conveying the Program.
|
|
585
|
|
586 @item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
|
587
|
|
588 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
|
|
589 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
|
|
590 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
|
|
591 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
|
|
592 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
|
|
593 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
|
|
594 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
|
|
595 combination as such.
|
|
596
|
|
597 @item Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
598
|
|
599 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
|
|
600 of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new
|
|
601 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
602 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
603
|
|
604 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
605 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public
|
|
606 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
607 following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or
|
|
608 of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
|
|
609 the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General
|
|
610 Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
|
|
611 Software Foundation.
|
|
612
|
|
613 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
|
|
614 of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public
|
|
615 statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to
|
|
616 choose that version for the Program.
|
|
617
|
|
618 Later license versions may give you additional or different
|
|
619 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
|
|
620 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
|
|
621 later version.
|
|
622
|
|
623 @item Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
|
624
|
|
625 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
626 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
|
|
627 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT
|
|
628 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
|
|
629 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
|
|
630 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
|
|
631 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE

637 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|

638 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
|
|
639 CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
640 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
641 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
|
|
642 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
|
|
643 LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
|

649 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
|
|
650 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
|
|
651 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
|
|
652 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the

660 @heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
661
|
|
662 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
663 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
|
664 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
|
|
665 terms.
|
|
666
|
|
667 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
|
668 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
|
669 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
|
670 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

712 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
