41 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 46
42 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 47 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
43 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 48 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same

46 51 terms so they know their rights.
47 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 52
48 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 53 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
49 distribute and/or modify the software. 54 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
50 55 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
51 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 56
52 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 57 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
53 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 58 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
54 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 59 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
55 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 60 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
56 authors' reputations. 61 authors of previous versions.

58 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 63 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
59 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 64 modified versions of the software inside them, although the
60 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 65 manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the
61 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 66 aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
62 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 67 systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
63 68 individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.

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.

79 refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' 92 ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
80 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 93 of works, such as semiconductor masks.
81 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 94
82 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 95 ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this

92 105 on the Program.

94 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 107 To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without

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.

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:

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

412 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
413 authors of the material; or

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
225 this License. 524 this License.
226 525
227 @item 526 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free

230 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 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.
