16 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this | |
17 license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
18 @end display | |
19 | |
20 @heading Preamble | |
21 | |
22 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
23 software and other kinds of works. | |
24 | |
25 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
26 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
27 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom | |
28 to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains | |
29 free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, | |
30 use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it | |
31 applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You | |
32 can apply it to your programs, too. | |
33 | |
34 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
35 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
36 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
37 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | |
38 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
39 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
40 | |
41 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
42 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you | |
43 have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the | |
44 software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom | |
45 of others. | |
46 | |
47 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
48 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
49 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, | |
50 receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these | |
51 terms so they know their rights. | |
52 | |
53 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | |
54 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
55 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
56 | |
57 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | |
58 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
59 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
60 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
61 authors of previous versions. | |
62 | |
63 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | |
64 modified versions of the software inside them, although the | |
65 manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the | |
66 aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The | |
67 systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for | |
68 individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. | |
69 Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the | |
70 practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in | |
71 other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those | |
72 domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the | |
73 freedom of users. | |
74 | |
75 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
76 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
77 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish | |
78 to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program | |
79 could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL | |
80 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
81 | |
82 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
83 modification follow. | |
84 | |
85 @heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
86 | |
87 @enumerate 0 | |
88 @item Definitions. | |
89 | |
90 ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
91 | |
92 ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds | |
93 of works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
94 | |
95 ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
96 License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and | |
97 ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations. | |
98 | |
99 To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
100 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of | |
101 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of | |
102 the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work. | |
103 | |
104 A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
105 on the Program. | |
106 | |
107 To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
108 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
109 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
110 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
111 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
112 public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
113 | |
114 To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
115 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user | |
116 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not | |
117 conveying. | |
118 | |
119 An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to | |
120 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
121 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
122 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
123 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
124 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
125 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
126 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
127 | |
128 @item Source Code. | |
129 | |
130 The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
131 making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form | |
132 of a work. | |
133 | |
134 A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official | |
135 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
136 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
137 is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
138 | |
139 The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other | |
140 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
141 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
142 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
143 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
144 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
145 ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component | |
146 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
147 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
148 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
149 | |
150 The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all | |
151 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
152 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
153 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
154 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
155 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
156 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
157 includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
158 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
159 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
160 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
161 subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
162 | |
163 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | |
164 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | |
165 | |
166 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | |
167 work. | |
168 | |
169 @item Basic Permissions. | |
170 | |
171 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
172 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
173 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
174 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
175 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
176 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
177 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
178 | |
179 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | |
180 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | |
181 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | |
182 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | |
183 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | |
184 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | |
185 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | |
186 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | |
187 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | |
188 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
189 | |
190 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | |
191 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
192 makes it unnecessary. | |
193 | |
194 @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
195 | |
196 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
197 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
198 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
199 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
200 measures. | |
201 | |
202 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
203 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | |
204 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | |
205 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | |
206 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | |
207 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | |
208 circumvention of technological measures. | |
209 | |
210 @item Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
211 | |
212 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
213 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
214 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
215 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
216 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
217 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
218 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
219 | |
220 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
221 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
222 | |
223 @item Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
224 | |
225 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
226 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
227 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | |
228 conditions: | |
229 | |
230 @enumerate a | |
231 @item | |
232 The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, | |
233 and giving a relevant date. | |
234 | |
235 @item | |
236 The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released | |
237 under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This | |
238 requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all | |
239 notices''. | |
240 | |
241 @item | |
242 You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to | |
243 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will | |
244 therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, | |
245 to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they | |
246 are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in | |
247 any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have | |
248 separately received it. | |
249 | |
250 @item | |
251 If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
252 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
253 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work | |
254 need not make them do so. | |
255 @end enumerate | |
256 | |
257 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
258 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
259 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
260 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
261 ``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
262 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
263 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
264 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
265 parts of the aggregate. | |
266 | |
267 @item Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
268 | |
269 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of | |
270 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable | |
271 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these | |
272 ways: | |
273 | |
274 @enumerate a | |
275 @item | |
276 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
277 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
278 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily | |
279 used for software interchange. | |
280 | |
281 @item | |
282 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
283 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written | |
284 offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you | |
285 offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give | |
286 anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the | |
287 Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is | |
288 covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used | |
289 for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable | |
290 cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access | |
291 to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
292 | |
293 @item | |
294 Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written | |
295 offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is | |
296 allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you | |
297 received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection | |
298 6b. | |
299 | |
300 @item | |
301 Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place | |
302 (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
303 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
304 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
305 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy | |
306 the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be | |
307 on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports | |
308 equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions | |
309 next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. | |
310 Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain | |
311 obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to | |
312 satisfy these requirements. | |
313 | |
314 @item | |
315 Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you | |
316 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of | |
317 the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under | |
318 subsection 6d. | |
319 | |
320 @end enumerate | |
321 | |
322 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
323 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
324 included in conveying the object code work. | |
325 | |
326 A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any | |
327 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, | |
328 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for | |
329 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a | |
330 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of | |
331 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, | |
332 ``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of | |
333 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way | |
334 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected | |
335 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of | |
336 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or | |
337 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant | |
338 mode of use of the product. | |
339 | |
340 ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods, | |
341 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to | |
342 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User | |
343 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The | |
344 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of | |
345 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with | |
346 solely because modification has been made. | |
347 | |
348 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
349 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
350 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
351 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
352 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
353 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
354 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
355 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
356 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
357 been installed in ROM). | |
358 | |
359 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
360 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or | |
361 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the | |
362 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or | |
363 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification | |
364 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network | |
365 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the | |
366 network. | |
367 | |
368 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
369 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
370 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
371 source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
372 unpacking, reading or copying. | |
373 | |
374 @item Additional Terms. | |
375 | |
376 ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
377 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
378 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
379 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
380 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
381 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
382 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
383 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
384 | |
385 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
386 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
387 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
388 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
389 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
390 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
391 | |
392 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
393 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders | |
394 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
395 | |
396 @enumerate a | |
397 @item | |
398 Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms | |
399 of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
400 | |
401 @item | |
402 Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author | |
403 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices | |
404 displayed by works containing it; or | |
405 | |
406 @item | |
407 Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
408 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
409 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
410 | |
411 @item | |
412 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
413 authors of the material; or | |
414 | |
415 @item | |
416 Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade | |
417 names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
418 | |
419 @item | |
420 Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by | |
421 anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with | |
422 contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any | |
423 liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those | |
424 licensors and authors. | |
425 @end enumerate | |
426 | |
427 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further | |
428 restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
429 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
430 governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
431 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
432 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
433 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
434 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
435 not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
436 | |
437 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
438 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
439 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
440 where to find the applicable terms. | |
441 | |
442 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
443 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the | |
444 above requirements apply either way. | |
445 | |
446 @item Termination. | |
447 | |
448 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
449 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
450 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
451 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
452 paragraph of section 11). | |
453 | |
454 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | |
455 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | |
456 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | |
457 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | |
458 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | |
459 60 days after the cessation. | |
460 | |
461 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
462 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
463 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
464 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
465 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
466 your receipt of the notice. | |
467 | |
468 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
469 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
470 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
471 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
472 material under section 10. | |
473 | |
474 @item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
475 | |
476 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run | |
477 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
478 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
479 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
480 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
481 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
482 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
483 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
484 | |
485 @item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
486 | |
487 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
488 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
489 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
490 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
491 | |
492 An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an | |
493 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
494 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
495 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
496 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
497 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
498 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
499 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
500 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
501 | |
502 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
503 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
504 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
505 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
506 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
507 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
508 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
509 | |
510 @item Patents. | |
511 | |
512 A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
513 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
514 work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''. | |
515 | |
516 A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned | |
517 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
518 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
519 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
520 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
521 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
522 purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant | |
523 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
524 this License. | |
525 | |
526 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
527 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
528 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
529 propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
530 | |
531 In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express | |
532 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
533 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
534 sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a | |
535 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
536 patent against the party. | |
537 | |
538 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
539 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
540 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
541 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
542 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
543 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
544 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
545 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
546 license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have | |
547 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
548 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
549 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
550 country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
551 | |
552 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
553 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
554 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
555 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
556 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
557 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
558 work and works based on it. | |
559 | |
560 A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the | |
561 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on | |
562 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically | |
563 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you | |
564 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the | |
565 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the | |
566 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the | |
567 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties | |
568 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent | |
569 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by | |
570 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in | |
571 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the | |
572 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent | |
573 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
574 | |
575 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
576 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
577 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
578 | |
579 @item No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
580 | |
581 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
582 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
583 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey | |
584 a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under | |
585 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a | |
586 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree | |
587 to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying | |
588 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could | |
589 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely | |
590 from conveying the Program. | |
591 | |
592 @item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
593 | |
594 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
595 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
596 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
597 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
598 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
599 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
600 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
601 combination as such. | |
602 | |
603 @item Revised Versions of this License. | |
604 | |
605 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
606 of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new | |
607 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
608 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
609 | |
610 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
611 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public | |
612 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of | |
613 following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or | |
614 of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If | |
615 the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General | |
616 Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free | |
617 Software Foundation. | |
618 | |
619 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions | |
620 of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public | |
621 statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to | |
622 choose that version for the Program. | |
623 | |
624 Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
625 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
626 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
627 later version. | |
628 | |
629 @item Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
630 | |
631 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
632 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | |
633 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT | |
634 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT | |
635 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR | |
636 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND | |
637 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE | |
638 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR | |
639 CORRECTION. | |
640 | |
641 @item Limitation of Liability. | |
642 | |
643 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
644 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR | |
645 CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | |
646 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES | |
647 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT | |
648 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR | |
649 LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM | |
650 TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER | |
651 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
652 | |
653 @item Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
654 | |
655 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
656 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
657 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
658 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
659 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
660 copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |
661 | |
662 @end enumerate | |

664 @heading END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
665 | |
666 @heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
667 | |
668 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
669 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
670 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these | |
671 terms. | |
672 | |
673 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
674 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
675 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
676 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
677 | |
678 @smallexample | |
679 @var{one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.} | |
680 Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{name of author} | |
681 | |
682 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
683 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
684 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at | |
685 your option) any later version. | |
686 | |
687 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but | |
688 WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
689 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU | |
690 General Public License for more details. | |
691 | |
692 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | |
693 along with this program. If not, see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}. | |
694 @end smallexample | |
695 | |
696 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
697 | |
698 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | |
699 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
700 | |
701 @smallexample | |
702 @var{program} Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{name of author} | |
703 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type @samp{show w}. | |
704 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
705 under certain conditions; type @samp{show c} for details. | |
706 @end smallexample | |
707 | |
708 The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show | |
709 the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your | |
710 program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would | |
711 use an ``about box''. | |
712 | |
713 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
714 if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary. | |
715 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | |
716 @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}. | |
717 | |
718 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your | |
719 program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine | |
720 library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary | |
721 applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use | |
722 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But | |
723 first, please read @url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html}. | |
