1309 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this | |
1310 license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
1311 @end display | |
1312 | |
1313 @heading Preamble | |
1314 | |
1315 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
1316 software and other kinds of works. | |
1317 | |
1318 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
1319 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
1320 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom | |
1321 to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains | |
1322 free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, | |
1323 use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it | |
1324 applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You | |
1325 can apply it to your programs, too. | |
1326 | |
1327 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
1328 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
1329 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
1330 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | |
1331 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
1332 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
1333 | |
1334 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
1335 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you | |
1336 have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the | |
1337 software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom | |
1338 of others. | |
1339 | |
1340 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
1341 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
1342 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, | |
1343 receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these | |
1344 terms so they know their rights. | |
1345 | |
1346 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | |
1347 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
1348 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
1349 | |
1350 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | |
1351 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
1352 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
1353 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
1354 authors of previous versions. | |
1355 | |
1356 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | |
1357 modified versions of the software inside them, although the | |
1358 manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the | |
1359 aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The | |
1360 systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for | |
1361 individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. | |
1362 Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the | |
1363 practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in | |
1364 other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those | |
1365 domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the | |
1366 freedom of users. | |
1367 | |
1368 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
1369 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
1370 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish | |
1371 to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program | |
1372 could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL | |
1373 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
1374 | |
1375 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
1376 modification follow. | |
1377 | |
1378 @heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
1379 | |
1380 @enumerate 0 | |
1381 @item Definitions. | |
1382 | |
1383 ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
1384 | |
1385 ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds | |
1386 of works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
1387 | |
1388 ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
1389 License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and | |
1390 ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations. | |
1391 | |
1392 To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
1393 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of | |
1394 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of | |
1395 the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work. | |
1396 | |
1397 A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
1398 on the Program. | |
1399 | |
1400 To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
1401 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
1402 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
1403 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
1404 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
1405 public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
1406 | |
1407 To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
1408 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user | |
1409 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not | |
1410 conveying. | |
1411 | |
1412 An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to | |
1413 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
1414 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
1415 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
1416 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
1417 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
1418 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
1419 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
1420 | |
1421 @item Source Code. | |
1422 | |
1423 The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
1424 making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form | |
1425 of a work. | |
1426 | |
1427 A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official | |
1428 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
1429 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
1430 is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
1431 | |
1432 The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other | |
1433 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
1434 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
1435 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
1436 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
1437 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
1438 ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component | |
1439 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
1440 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
1441 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
1442 | |
1443 The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all | |
1444 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
1445 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
1446 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
1447 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
1448 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
1449 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
1450 includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
1451 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
1452 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
1453 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
1454 subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
1455 | |
1456 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | |
1457 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | |
1458 | |
1459 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | |
1460 work. | |
1461 | |
1462 @item Basic Permissions. | |
1463 | |
1464 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
1465 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
1466 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
1467 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
1468 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
1469 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
1470 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
1471 | |
1472 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | |
1473 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | |
1474 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | |
1475 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | |
1476 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | |
1477 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | |
1478 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | |
1479 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | |
1480 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | |
1481 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
1482 | |
1483 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | |
1484 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
1485 makes it unnecessary. | |
1486 | |
1487 @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
1488 | |
1489 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
1490 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
1491 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
1492 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
1493 measures. | |
1494 | |
1495 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
1496 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | |
1497 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | |
1498 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | |
1499 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | |
1500 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | |
1501 circumvention of technological measures. | |
1502 | |
1503 @item Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
1504 | |
1505 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
1506 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
1507 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
1508 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
1509 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
1510 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
1511 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
1512 | |
1513 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
1514 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
1515 | |
1516 @item Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
1517 | |
1518 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
1519 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
1520 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | |
1521 conditions: | |
1522 | |
1523 @enumerate a | |
1524 @item | |
1525 The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, | |
1526 and giving a relevant date. | |
1527 | |
1528 @item | |
1529 The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released | |
1530 under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This | |
1531 requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all | |
1532 notices''. | |
1533 | |
1534 @item | |
1535 You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to | |
1536 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will | |
1537 therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, | |
1538 to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they | |
1539 are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in | |
1540 any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have | |
1541 separately received it. | |
1542 | |
1543 @item | |
1544 If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
1545 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
1546 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work | |
1547 need not make them do so. | |
1548 @end enumerate | |
1549 | |
1550 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
1551 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
1552 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
1553 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
1554 ``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
1555 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
1556 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
1557 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
1558 parts of the aggregate. | |
1559 | |
1560 @item Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
1561 | |
1562 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of | |
1563 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable | |
1564 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these | |
1565 ways: | |
1566 | |
1567 @enumerate a | |
1568 @item | |
1569 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
1570 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
1571 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily | |
1572 used for software interchange. | |
1573 | |
1574 @item | |
1575 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
1576 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written | |
1577 offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you | |
1578 offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give | |
1579 anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the | |
1580 Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is | |
1581 covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used | |
1582 for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable | |
1583 cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access | |
1584 to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
1585 | |
1586 @item | |
1587 Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written | |
1588 offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is | |
1589 allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you | |
1590 received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection | |
1591 6b. | |
1592 | |
1593 @item | |
1594 Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place | |
1595 (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
1596 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
1597 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
1598 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy | |
1599 the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be | |
1600 on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports | |
1601 equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions | |
1602 next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. | |
1603 Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain | |
1604 obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to | |
1605 satisfy these requirements. | |
1606 | |
1607 @item | |
1608 Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you | |
1609 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of | |
1610 the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under | |
1611 subsection 6d. | |
1612 | |
1613 @end enumerate | |
1614 | |
1615 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
1616 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
1617 included in conveying the object code work. | |
1618 | |
1619 A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any | |
1620 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, | |
1621 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for | |
1622 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a | |
1623 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of | |
1624 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, | |
1625 ``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of | |
1626 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way | |
1627 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected | |
1628 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of | |
1629 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or | |
1630 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant | |
1631 mode of use of the product. | |
1632 | |
1633 ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods, | |
1634 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to | |
1635 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User | |
1636 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The | |
1637 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of | |
1638 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with | |
1639 solely because modification has been made. | |
1640 | |
1641 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
1642 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
1643 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
1644 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
1645 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
1646 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
1647 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
1648 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
1649 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
1650 been installed in ROM). | |
1651 | |
1652 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
1653 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or | |
1654 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the | |
1655 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or | |
1656 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification | |
1657 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network | |
1658 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the | |
1659 network. | |
1660 | |
1661 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
1662 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
1663 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
1664 source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
1665 unpacking, reading or copying. | |
1666 | |
1667 @item Additional Terms. | |
1668 | |
1669 ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
1670 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
1671 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
1672 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
1673 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
1674 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
1675 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
1676 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
1677 | |
1678 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
1679 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
1680 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
1681 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
1682 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
1683 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
1684 | |
1685 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
1686 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders | |
1687 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
1688 | |
1689 @enumerate a | |
1690 @item | |
1691 Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms | |
1692 of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
1693 | |
1694 @item | |
1695 Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author | |
1696 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices | |
1697 displayed by works containing it; or | |
1698 | |
1699 @item | |
1700 Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
1701 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
1702 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
1703 | |
1704 @item | |
1705 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
1706 authors of the material; or | |
1707 | |
1708 @item | |
1709 Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade | |
1710 names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
1711 | |
1712 @item | |
1713 Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by | |
1714 anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with | |
1715 contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any | |
1716 liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those | |
1717 licensors and authors. | |
1718 @end enumerate | |
1719 | |
1720 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further | |
1721 restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
1722 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
1723 governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
1724 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
1725 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
1726 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
1727 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
1728 not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
1729 | |
1730 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
1731 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
1732 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
1733 where to find the applicable terms. | |
1734 | |
1735 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
1736 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the | |
1737 above requirements apply either way. | |
1738 | |
1739 @item Termination. | |
1740 | |
1741 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
1742 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
1743 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
1744 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
1745 paragraph of section 11). | |
1746 | |
1747 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | |
1748 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | |
1749 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | |
1750 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | |
1751 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | |
1752 60 days after the cessation. | |
1753 | |
1754 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
1755 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
1756 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
1757 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
1758 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
1759 your receipt of the notice. | |
1760 | |
1761 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
1762 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
1763 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
1764 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
1765 material under section 10. | |
1766 | |
1767 @item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
1768 | |
1769 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run | |
1770 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
1771 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
1772 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
1773 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
1774 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
1775 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
1776 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
1777 | |
1778 @item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
1779 | |
1780 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
1781 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
1782 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
1783 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
1784 | |
1785 An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an | |
1786 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
1787 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
1788 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
1789 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
1790 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
1791 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
1792 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
1793 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
1794 | |
1795 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
1796 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
1797 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
1798 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
1799 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
1800 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
1801 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
1802 | |
1803 @item Patents. | |
1804 | |
1805 A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
1806 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
1807 work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''. | |
1808 | |
1809 A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned | |
1810 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
1811 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
1812 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
1813 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
1814 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
1815 purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant | |
1816 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
1817 this License. | |
1818 | |
1819 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
1820 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
1821 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
1822 propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
1823 | |
1824 In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express | |
1825 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
1826 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
1827 sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a | |
1828 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
1829 patent against the party. | |
1830 | |
1831 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
1832 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
1833 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
1834 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
1835 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
1836 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
1837 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
1838 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
1839 license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have | |
1840 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
1841 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
1842 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
1843 country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
1844 | |
1845 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
1846 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
1847 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
1848 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
1849 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
1850 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
1851 work and works based on it. | |
1852 | |
1853 A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the | |
1854 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on | |
1855 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically | |
1856 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you | |
1857 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the | |
1858 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the | |
1859 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the | |
1860 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties | |
1861 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent | |
1862 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by | |
1863 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in | |
1864 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the | |
1865 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent | |
1866 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
1867 | |
1868 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
1869 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
1870 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
1871 | |
1872 @item No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
1873 | |
1874 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
1875 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
1876 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey | |
1877 a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under | |
1878 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a | |
1879 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree | |
1880 to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying | |
1881 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could | |
1882 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely | |
1883 from conveying the Program. | |
1884 | |
1885 @item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
1886 | |
1887 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
1888 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
1889 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
1890 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
1891 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
1892 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
1893 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
1894 combination as such. | |
1895 | |
1896 @item Revised Versions of this License. | |
1897 | |
1898 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
1899 of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new | |
1900 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
1901 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
1902 | |
1903 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
1904 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public | |
1905 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of | |
1906 following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or | |
1907 of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If | |
1908 the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General | |
1909 Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free | |
1910 Software Foundation. | |
1911 | |
1912 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions | |
1913 of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public | |
1914 statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to | |
1915 choose that version for the Program. | |
1916 | |
1917 Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
1918 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
1919 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
1920 later version. | |
1921 | |
1922 @item Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
1923 | |
1924 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
1925 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | |
1926 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT | |
1927 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT | |
1928 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR | |
1929 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND | |
1930 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE | |
1931 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR | |
1932 CORRECTION. | |
1933 | |
1934 @item Limitation of Liability. | |
1935 | |
1936 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
1937 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR | |
1938 CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | |
1939 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES | |
1940 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT | |
1941 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR | |
1942 LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM | |
1943 TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER | |
1944 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
1945 | |
1946 @item Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
1947 | |
1948 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
1949 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
1950 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
1951 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
1952 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
1953 copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |
1954 | |

1957 @heading END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |

1959 @heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
1960 | |
1961 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
1962 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
1963 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these | |
1964 terms. | |
1965 | |
1966 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
1967 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
1968 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
1969 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
1970 | |

1976 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
1977 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at | |
1978 your option) any later version. | |

1981 WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |

1986 along with this program. If not, see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}. | |
1987 @end smallexample | |
1988 | |
1989 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
1990 | |
1991 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | |
1992 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | |

1999 @end smallexample | |
2000 | |
2001 The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show | |
2002 the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your | |
2003 program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would | |
2004 use an ``about box''. | |
2005 | |
2006 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
2007 if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary. | |
2008 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see | |
2009 @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}. | |
2010 | |
2011 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your | |
2012 program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine | |
2013 library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary | |
2014 applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use | |
2015 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But | |
2016 first, please read @url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html}. | |
