76 This License applies to any program or other work which contains | 89 |
77 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | 90 ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
78 under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below, | 91 |
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 |
83 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | 96 License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and |
84 the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. | 97 ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations. |
85 | 98 |
86 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | 99 To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
87 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | 100 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of |
88 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | 101 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of |
89 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | 102 the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work. |
90 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | 103 |
91 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | 104 A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
92 | 105 on the Program. |
93 @item | 106 |
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 |
95 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | 108 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
96 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | 109 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
97 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | 110 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
98 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | 111 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
99 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | 112 public, and in some countries other activities as well. |

106 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | 119 An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to |
107 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | 120 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |

123 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
124 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
125 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
126 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
127 | |
128 @item Source Code. | |
129 | |
130 The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
131 making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form | |
132 of a work. | |
133 | |
134 A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official | |
135 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
136 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
137 is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
138 | |
139 The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other | |
140 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
141 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
142 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
143 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
144 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
145 ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component | |
146 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
147 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
148 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
149 | |
150 The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all | |
151 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
152 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
153 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
154 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
155 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
156 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
157 includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
158 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
159 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
160 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
161 subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
162 | |
163 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | |
164 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | |
165 | |
166 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | |
167 work. | |
168 | |
169 @item Basic Permissions. | |
170 | |
171 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
172 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
173 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
174 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
175 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
176 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
177 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
178 | |
179 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | |
180 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | |
181 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | |
182 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | |
183 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | |
184 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | |
185 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | |
186 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | |
187 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | |
188 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
189 | |
190 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | |
191 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
192 makes it unnecessary. | |
193 | |
194 @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
195 | |
196 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
197 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
198 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
199 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
200 measures. | |
201 | |
202 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
203 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | |
204 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | |
205 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | |
206 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | |
207 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | |
208 circumvention of technological measures. | |
209 | |
210 @item Conveying Verbatim Copies. | |
211 | |
212 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
213 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
214 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
215 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
216 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
217 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
218 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
219 | |
220 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
221 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
222 | |
223 @item Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
224 | |
225 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
226 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
227 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | |

135 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | 257 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
136 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | 258 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
137 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | 259 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, |

374 @item Additional Terms. | |
375 | |
376 ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
377 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
378 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
379 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
380 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
381 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
382 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
383 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
384 | |
385 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
386 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
387 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
388 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
389 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
390 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
391 | |
392 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
393 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders | |
394 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
395 | |
396 @enumerate a | |
397 @item | |
398 Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms | |
399 of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
400 | |
401 @item | |
402 Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author | |
403 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices | |
404 displayed by works containing it; or | |
405 | |
406 @item | |
407 Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
408 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
409 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
410 | |
411 @item | |
412 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
413 authors of the material; or | |

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. |

230 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | 529 propagate the contents of its contributor version. |

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. | |
