34
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
35
+ Version 3, 29 June 2007
36
+
37
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
38
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
39
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
40
+
41
+ Preamble
42
+
43
+ The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
44
+ software and other kinds of works.
45
+
46
+ The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
47
+ to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
48
+ the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
49
+ share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
50
+ software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
51
+ GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
52
+ any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
53
+ your programs, too.
54
+
55
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
56
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
57
+ have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
58
+ them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
59
+ want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
60
+ free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
61
+
62
+ To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
63
+ these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
64
+ certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
65
+ you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
66
+
67
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
68
+ gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
69
+ freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
70
+ or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
71
+ know their rights.
72
+
73
+ Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
74
+ (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
75
+ giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
76
+
77
+ For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
78
+ that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
79
+ authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
80
+ changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
81
+ authors of previous versions.
82
+
83
+ Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
84
+ modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
85
+ can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
86
+ protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
87
+ pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
88
+ use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
89
+ have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
90
+ products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
91
+ stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
92
+ of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
93
+
94
+ Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
95
+ States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
96
+ software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
97
+ avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
98
+ make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
99
+ patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
100
+
101
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
102
+ modification follow.
103
+
104
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS
105
+
106
+ 0. Definitions.
107
+
108
+ "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
109
+
110
+ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
111
+ works, such as semiconductor masks.
112
+
113
+ "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
114
+ License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
115
+ "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
116
+
117
+ To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
118
+ in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
119
+ exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
120
+ earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
121
+
122
+ A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
123
+ on the Program.
124
+
125
+ To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
126
+ permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
127
+ infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
128
+ computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
129
+ distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
130
+ public, and in some countries other activities as well.
131
+
132
+ To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
133
+ parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
134
+ a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
135
+
136
+ An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
137
+ to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
138
+ feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
139
+ tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
140
+ extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
141
+ work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
142
+ the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
143
+ menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
144
+
145
+ 1. Source Code.
146
+
147
+ The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
148
+ for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
149
+ form of a work.
150
+
151
+ A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
152
+ standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
153
+ interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
154
+ is widely used among developers working in that language.
155
+
156
+ The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
157
+ than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
158
+ packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
159
+ Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
160
+ Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
161
+ implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
162
+ "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
163
+ (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
164
+ (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
165
+ produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
166
+
167
+ The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
168
+ the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
169
+ work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
170
+ control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
171
+ System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
172
+ programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
173
+ which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
174
+ includes interface definition files associated with source files for
175
+ the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
176
+ linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
177
+ such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
178
+ subprograms and other parts of the work.
179
+
180
+ The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
181
+ can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
182
+ Source.
183
+
184
+ The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
185
+ same work.
186
+
187
+ 2. Basic Permissions.
188
+
189
+ All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
190
+ copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
191
+ conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
192
+ permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
193
+ covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
194
+ content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
195
+ rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
196
+
197
+ You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
198
+ convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
199
+ in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
200
+ of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
201
+ with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
202
+ the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
203
+ not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
204
+ for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
205
+ and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
206
+ your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
207
+
208
+ Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
209
+ the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
210
+ makes it unnecessary.
211
+
212
+ 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
213
+
214
+ No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
215
+ measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
216
+ 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
217
+ similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
218
+ measures.
219
+
220
+ When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
221
+ circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
222
+ is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
223
+ the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
224
+ modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
225
+ users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
226
+ technological measures.
227
+
228
+ 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
229
+
230
+ You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
231
+ receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
232
+ appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
233
+ keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
234
+ non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
235
+ keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
236
+ recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
237
+
238
+ You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
239
+ and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
240
+
241
+ 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
242
+
243
+ You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
244
+ produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
245
+ terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
246
+
247
+ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
248
+ it, and giving a relevant date.
249
+
250
+ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
251
+ released under this License and any conditions added under section
252
+ 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
253
+ "keep intact all notices".
254
+
255
+ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
256
+ License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
257
+ License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
258
+ additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
259
+ regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
260
+ permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
261
+ invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
262
+
263
+ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
264
+ Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
265
+ interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
266
+ work need not make them do so.
267
+
268
+ A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
269
+ works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
270
+ and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
271
+ in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
272
+ "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
273
+ used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
274
+ beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
275
+ in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
276
+ parts of the aggregate.
277
+
278
+ 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
279
+
280
+ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
281
+ of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
282
+ machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
283
+ in one of these ways:
284
+
285
+ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
286
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
287
+ Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
288
+ customarily used for software interchange.
289
+
290
+ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
291
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
292
+ written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
293
+ long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
294
+ model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
295
+ copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
296
+ product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
297
+ medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
298
+ more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
299
+ conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
300
+ Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
301
+
302
+ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
303
+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
304
+ alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
305
+ only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
306
+ with subsection 6b.
307
+
308
+ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
309
+ place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
310
+ Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
311
+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
312
+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
313
+ copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
314
+ may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
315
+ that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
316
+ clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
317
+ Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
318
+ Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
319
+ available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
320
+
321
+ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
322
+ you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
323
+ Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
324
+ charge under subsection 6d.
325
+
326
+ A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
327
+ from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
328
+ included in conveying the object code work.
329
+
330
+ A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
331
+ tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
332
+ or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
333
+ into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
334
+ doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
335
+ product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
336
+ typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
337
+ of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
338
+ actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
339
+ is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
340
+ commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
341
+ the only significant mode of use of the product.
342
+
343
+ "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
344
+ procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
345
+ and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
346
+ a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
347
+ suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
348
+ code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
349
+ modification has been made.
350
+
351
+ If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
352
+ specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
353
+ part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
354
+ User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
355
+ fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
356
+ Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
357
+ by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
358
+ if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
359
+ modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
360
+ been installed in ROM).
361
+
362
+ The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
363
+ requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
364
+ for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
365
+ the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
366
+ network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
367
+ adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
368
+ protocols for communication across the network.
369
+
370
+ Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
371
+ in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
372
+ documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
373
+ source code form), and must require no special password or key for
374
+ unpacking, reading or copying.
375
+
376
+ 7. Additional Terms.
377
+
378
+ "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
379
+ License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
380
+ Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
381
+ be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
382
+ that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
383
+ apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
384
+ under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
385
+ this License without regard to the additional permissions.
386
+
387
+ When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
388
+ remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
389
+ it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
390
+ removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
391
+ additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
392
+ for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
393
+
394
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
395
+ add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
396
+ that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
397
+
398
+ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
399
+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
400
+
401
+ b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
402
+ author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
403
+ Notices displayed by works containing it; or
404
+
405
+ c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
406
+ requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
407
+ reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
408
+
409
+ d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
410
+ authors of the material; or
411
+
412
+ e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
413
+ trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
414
+
415
+ f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
416
+ material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
417
+ it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
418
+ any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
419
+ those licensors and authors.
420
+
421
+ All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
422
+ restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
423
+ received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
424
+ governed by this License along with a term that is a further
425
+ restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
426
+ a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
427
+ License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
428
+ of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
429
+ not survive such relicensing or conveying.
430
+
431
+ If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
432
+ must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
433
+ additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
434
+ where to find the applicable terms.
435
+
436
+ Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
437
+ form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
438
+ the above requirements apply either way.
439
+
440
+ 8. Termination.
441
+
442
+ You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
443
+ provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
444
+ modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
445
+ this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
446
+ paragraph of section 11).
447
+
448
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
449
+ license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
450
+ provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
451
+ finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
452
+ holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
453
+ prior to 60 days after the cessation.
454
+
455
+ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
456
+ reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
457
+ violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
458
+ received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
459
+ copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
460
+ your receipt of the notice.
461
+
462
+ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
463
+ licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
464
+ this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
465
+ reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
466
+ material under section 10.
467
+
468
+ 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
469
+
470
+ You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
471
+ run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
472
+ occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
473
+ to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
474
+ nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
475
+ modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
476
+ not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
477
+ covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
478
+
479
+ 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
480
+
481
+ Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
482
+ receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
483
+ propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
484
+ for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
485
+
486
+ An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
487
+ organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
488
+ organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
489
+ work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
490
+ transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
491
+ licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
492
+ give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
493
+ Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
494
+ the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
495
+
496
+ You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
497
+ rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
498
+ not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
499
+ rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
500
+ (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
501
+ any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
502
+ sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
503
+
504
+ 11. Patents.
505
+
506
+ A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
507
+ License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
508
+ work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
509
+
510
+ A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
511
+ owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
512
+ hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
513
+ by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
514
+ but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
515
+ consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
516
+ purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
517
+ patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
518
+ this License.
519
+
520
+ Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
521
+ patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
522
+ make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
523
+ propagate the contents of its contributor version.
524
+
525
+ In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
526
+ agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
527
+ (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
528
+ sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
529
+ party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
530
+ patent against the party.
531
+
532
+ If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
533
+ and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
534
+ to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
535
+ publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
536
+ then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
537
+ available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
538
+ patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
539
+ consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
540
+ license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
541
+ actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
542
+ covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
543
+ in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
544
+ country that you have reason to believe are valid.
545
+
546
+ If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
547
+ arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
548
+ covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
549
+ receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
550
+ or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
551
+ you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
552
+ work and works based on it.
553
+
554
+ A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
555
+ the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
556
+ conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
557
+ specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
558
+ work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
559
+ in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
560
+ to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
561
+ the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
562
+ parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
563
+ patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
564
+ conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
565
+ for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
566
+ contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
567
+ or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
568
+
569
+ Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
570
+ any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
571
+ otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
572
+
573
+ 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
574
+
575
+ If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
576
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
577
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
578
+ covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
579
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
580
+ not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
581
+ to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
582
+ the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
583
+ License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
584
+
585
+ 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
586
+
587
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
588
+ permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
589
+ under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
590
+ combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
591
+ License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
592
+ but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
593
+ section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
594
+ combination as such.
595
+
596
+ 14. Revised Versions of this License.
597
+
598
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
599
+ the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
600
+ be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
601
+ address new problems or concerns.
602
+
603
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
604
+ Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
605
+ Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
606
+ option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
607
+ version or of any later version published by the Free Software
608
+ Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
609
+ GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
610
+ by the Free Software Foundation.
611
+
612
+ If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
613
+ versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
614
+ public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
615
+ to choose that version for the Program.
616
+
617
+ Later license versions may give you additional or different
618
+ permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
619
+ author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
620
+ later version.
621
+
622
+ 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
623
+
624
+ THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
625
+ APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
626
+ HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
627
+ OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
628
+ THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
629
+ PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
630
+ IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
631
+ ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
632
+
633
+ 16. Limitation of Liability.
634
+
635
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
636
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
637
+ THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
638
+ GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
639
+ USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
640
+ DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
641
+ PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
642
+ EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
643
+ SUCH DAMAGES.
644
+
645
+ 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
646
+
647
+ If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
648
+ above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
649
+ reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
650
+ an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
651
+ Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
652
+ copy of the Program in return for a fee.
653
+
654
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
655
+
656
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
657
+
658
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
659
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
660
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
661
+
662
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
663
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
664
+ state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
665
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
666
+
667
+ {one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.}
668
+ Copyright (C) {year} {name of author}
669
+
670
+ This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
671
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
672
+ the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
673
+ (at your option) any later version.
674
+
675
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
676
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
677
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
678
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
679
+
680
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
681
+ along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
682
+
683
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
684
+
685
+ If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
686
+ notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
687
+
688
+ {project} Copyright (C) {year} {fullname}
689
+ This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
690
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
691
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
692
+
693
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
694
+ parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
695
+ might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
696
+
697
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
698
+ if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
699
+ For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
700

701
+
702
+ The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
703
+ into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
704
+ may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
705
+ the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
706
+ Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
707
