39 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | 40 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |

61 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | |
62 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
63 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to | |

65 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that | |
66 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |

63 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | 75 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
64 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, | 76 |
65 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" | 77 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
66 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | 78 works, such as semiconductor masks. |
67 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | 79 |
68 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | 80 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
69 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | 81 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
70 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". | 82 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
71 | 83 |
72 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | 84 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
73 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | 85 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
74 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | 86 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |

76 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | 88 |
77 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | 89 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
78 | 90 on the Program. |
79 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | 91 |
80 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | 92 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
81 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | 93 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
82 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | 94 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
83 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | 95 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |

85 along with the Program. | 97 public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
86 | 98 |
87 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | 99 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |

91 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | 103 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |

101 parties under the terms of this License. | 113 |
102 | 114 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |

105 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | 117 |
106 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | 118 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
107 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | 119 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
108 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | 120 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |

111 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | 123 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |

118 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | 130 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
119 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | 131 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |

121 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | 133 |
122 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | 134 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
123 | 135 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
124 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | 136 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
125 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | 137 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
126 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | 138 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
127 collective works based on the Program. | 139 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
128 | 140 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
129 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | 141 includes interface definition files associated with source files for |

131 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | 143 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
132 the scope of this License. | 144 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
133 | 145 subprograms and other parts of the work. |
134 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | 146 |
135 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | 147 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
136 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | 148 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
137 | 149 Source. |
138 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | 150 |
139 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | 151 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
140 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | 152 same work. |
141 | 153 |
142 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | 154 2. Basic Permissions. |

144 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | 156 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
145 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | 157 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
146 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | 158 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
147 customarily used for software interchange; or, | 159 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
148 | 160 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
149 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | 161 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
150 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | 162 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
151 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | 163 |
152 received the program in object code or executable form with such | 164 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |

154 | 166 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
155 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | 167 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
156 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | 168 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
157 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | 169 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
158 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | 170 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
159 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | 171 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
160 special exception, the source code distributed need not include | 172 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |

164 itself accompanies the executable. | 176 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
165 | 177 makes it unnecessary. |
166 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | 178 |
167 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | 179 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
168 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | 180 |
169 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | 181 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
170 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | 182 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
171 | 183 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
172 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | 184 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
173 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | 185 measures. |
174 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | 186 |
175 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | 187 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
176 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | 188 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
177 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | 189 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
178 parties remain in full compliance. | 190 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
179 | 191 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
180 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | 192 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
181 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | 193 technological measures. |
182 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | 194 |
183 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | 195 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
184 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | 196 |
185 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | 197 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
186 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | 198 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
187 the Program or works based on it. | 199 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
188 | 200 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
189 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | 201 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
190 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | 202 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
191 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | 203 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
192 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | 204 |
193 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | 205 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
194 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | 206 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
207 | |
208 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
209 | |
210 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
211 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
212 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
213 | |
214 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | |
215 it, and giving a relevant date. | |
216 | |
217 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | |
218 released under this License and any conditions added under section | |
219 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | |
220 "keep intact all notices". | |
221 | |
222 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | |
223 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | |
224 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | |
225 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | |
226 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | |
227 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | |
228 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | |
229 | |
230 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
231 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
232 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | |
233 work need not make them do so. | |
234 | |
235 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | |
236 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
237 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
238 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
239 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
240 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
241 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
242 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
243 parts of the aggregate. | |
244 | |
245 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | |
246 | |
247 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | |
248 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | |
249 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | |
250 in one of these ways: | |
251 | |
252 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
253 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
254 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | |
255 customarily used for software interchange. | |
256 | |
257 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
258 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | |
259 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | |
260 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | |
261 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | |
262 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | |
263 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | |
264 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | |
265 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | |
266 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | |
267 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
268 | |
269 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | |
270 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | |
271 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | |
272 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | |
273 with subsection 6b. | |
274 | |
275 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | |
276 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
277 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
278 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
279 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | |
280 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | |
281 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | |
282 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | |
283 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | |
284 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | |
285 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | |
286 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | |
287 | |
288 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | |
289 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | |
290 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | |
291 charge under subsection 6d. | |
292 | |
293 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | |
294 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
295 included in conveying the object code work. | |
296 | |
297 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | |
298 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | |
299 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | |
300 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | |
301 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | |
302 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | |
303 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | |
304 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | |
305 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | |
306 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | |
307 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | |
308 the only significant mode of use of the product. | |
309 | |
310 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | |
311 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | |
312 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | |
313 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | |
314 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | |
315 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | |
316 modification has been made. | |
317 | |
318 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
319 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
320 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
321 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
322 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
323 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
324 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
325 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
326 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
327 been installed in ROM). | |
328 | |
329 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | |
330 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | |
331 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | |
332 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | |
333 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | |
334 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | |
335 protocols for communication across the network. | |
336 | |
337 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
338 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
339 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
340 source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
341 unpacking, reading or copying. | |
342 | |
343 7. Additional Terms. | |
344 | |
345 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
346 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
347 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
348 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
349 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
350 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
351 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
352 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
353 | |
354 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
355 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
356 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
357 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
358 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
359 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
360 | |
361 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
362 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | |
363 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
364 | |
365 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | |
366 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
367 | |
368 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | |
369 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | |
370 Notices displayed by works containing it; or | |
371 | |
372 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | |
373 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
374 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
375 | |
376 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | |
377 authors of the material; or | |
378 | |
379 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | |
380 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
381 | |
382 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | |
383 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | |
384 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | |
385 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | |
386 those licensors and authors. | |
387 | |
388 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | |
389 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
390 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
391 governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
392 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
393 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
394 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
395 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
396 not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
397 | |
398 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
399 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
400 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
401 where to find the applicable terms. | |
402 | |
403 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
404 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | |
405 the above requirements apply either way. | |
406 | |
407 8. Termination. | |
408 | |
409 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
410 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
411 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
412 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
413 paragraph of section 11). | |
414 | |
415 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | |
416 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | |
417 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | |
418 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | |
419 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | |
420 prior to 60 days after the cessation. | |
421 | |
422 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | |
423 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
424 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
425 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
426 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
427 your receipt of the notice. | |
428 | |
429 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
430 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
431 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
432 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
433 material under section 10. | |
434 | |
435 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
436 | |
437 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | |
438 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
439 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
440 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
441 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
442 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
443 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
444 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
445 | |
446 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
447 | |
448 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
449 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
450 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
451 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
452 | |
453 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | |
454 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
455 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
456 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
457 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
458 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
459 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
460 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
461 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
462 | |
463 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
464 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
465 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
466 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
467 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
468 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
469 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
470 | |
471 11. Patents. | |
472 | |
473 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | |
474 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
475 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | |
476 | |
477 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | |
478 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
479 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
480 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
481 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
482 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
483 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | |
484 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
195 this License. | 485 this License. |
196 | 486 |
197 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | 487 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
198 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | 488 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
199 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | 489 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
490 propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
491 | |
492 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | |
493 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
494 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
495 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | |
496 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
497 patent against the party. | |
498 | |
499 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
500 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
501 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
502 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
503 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
504 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
505 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
506 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
507 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | |
508 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
509 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
510 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
511 country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
512 | |
513 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
514 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
515 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
516 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
517 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
518 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
519 work and works based on it. | |
520 | |
521 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | |
522 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | |
523 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | |
524 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | |
525 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | |
526 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | |
527 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | |
528 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | |
529 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | |
530 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | |
531 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | |
532 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | |
533 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | |
534 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
535 | |
536 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
537 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
538 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
539 | |
540 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
541 | |
542 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
200 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | 543 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
201 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | 544 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
202 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | 545 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
203 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | 546 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
204 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | 547 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
205 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | 548 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
206 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | 549 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
207 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | 550 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
208 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | 551 |
209 | 552 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. |
210 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | 553 |
211 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | 554 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
212 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | 555 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
213 circumstances. | 556 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
214 | 557 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this |
215 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | 558 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
216 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | 559 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
217 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | 560 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
218 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | 561 combination as such. |
219 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | 562 |
220 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | 563 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
221 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | 564 |
222 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | 565 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of |
223 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | 566 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
224 impose that choice. | |
225 | |
226 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
227 be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
228 | |
229 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | |
230 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
231 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | |
232 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | |
233 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
234 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
235 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
236 | |
237 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
238 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
239 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | 567 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
240 address new problems or concerns. | 568 address new problems or concerns. |
241 | 569 |
242 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | 570 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
243 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | 571 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
244 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | 572 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the |
245 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | 573 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
246 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | 574 version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
247 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | 575 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
248 Foundation. | 576 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
249 | 577 by the Free Software Foundation. |
250 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | 578 |
251 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | 579 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future |
252 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | 580 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
253 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | 581 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
254 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | 582 to choose that version for the Program. |
255 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | 583 |
256 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | 584 Later license versions may give you additional or different |
257 | 585 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
258 NO WARRANTY | 586 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
259 | 587 later version. |
260 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | 588 |
261 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | 589 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |

614 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
615 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
616 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
617 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
618 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
619 copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |
