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.

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.

1978 your option) any later version.

1988
1989 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

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.

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}.
