+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
5
+ Version 3, 29 June 2007
6
+
7
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
8
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
9
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
10
+
11
+ Preamble
12
+
13
+ The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
14
+ software and other kinds of works.
15
+
16
+ The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
17
+ to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
18
+ the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
19
+ share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
20
+ software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
21
+ GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
22
+ any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
23
+ your programs, too.
24
+
25
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
26
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
27
+ have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
28
+ them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
29
+ want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
30
+ free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
31
+
32
+ To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
33
+ these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
34
+ certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
35
+ you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
36
+
37
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
38
+ gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
39
+ freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
40
+ or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
41
+ know their rights.
42
+
43
+ Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
44
+ (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
45
+ giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
46
+
47
+ For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
48
+ that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
49
+ authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
50
+ changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
51
+ authors of previous versions.
52
+
53
+ Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
54
+ modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
55
+ can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
56
+ protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
57
+ pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
58
+ use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
59
+ have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
60
+ products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
61
+ stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
62
+ of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
63
+
64
+ Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
65
+ States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
66
+ software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
67
+ avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
68
+ make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
69
+ patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
70
+
71
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
72
+ modification follow.
73
+
74
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS
75
+
76
+ 0. Definitions.
77
+
78
+ "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
79
+
80
+ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
81
+ works, such as semiconductor masks.
82
+
83
+ "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
84
+ License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
85
+ "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
86
+
87
+ To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
88
+ in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
89
+ exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
90
+ earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
91
+
92
+ A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
93
+ on the Program.
94
+
95
+ To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
96
+ permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
97
+ infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
98
+ computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
99
+ distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
100
+ public, and in some countries other activities as well.
101
+
102
+ To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
103
+ parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
104
+ a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
105
+
106
+ An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
107
+ to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
108
+ feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
109
+ tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
110
+ extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
111
+ work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
112
+ the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
113
+ menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
114
+
115
+ 1. Source Code.
116
+
117
+ The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
118
+ for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
119
+ form of a work.
120
+
121
+ A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
122
+ standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
123
+ interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
124
+ is widely used among developers working in that language.
125
+
126
+ The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
127
+ than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
128
+ packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
129
+ Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
130
+ Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
131
+ implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
132
+ "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
133
+ (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
134
+ (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
135
+ produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
136
+
137
+ The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
138
+ the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
139
+ work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
140
+ control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
141
+ System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
142
+ programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
143
+ which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
144
+ includes interface definition files associated with source files for
145
+ the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
146
+ linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
147
+ such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
148
+ subprograms and other parts of the work.
149
+
150
+ The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
151
+ can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
152
+ Source.
153
+
154
+ The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
155
+ same work.
156
+
157
+ 2. Basic Permissions.
158
+
159
+ All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
160
+ copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
161
+ conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
162
+ permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
163
+ covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
164
+ content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
165
+ rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
166
+
167
+ You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
168
+ convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
169
+ in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
170
+ of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
171
+ with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
172
+ the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
173
+ not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
174
+ for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
175
+ and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
176
+ your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
177
+
178
+ Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
179
+ the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
180
+ makes it unnecessary.
181
+
182
+ 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
183
+
184
+ No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
185
+ measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
186
+ 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
187
+ similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
188
+ measures.
189
+
190
+ When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
191
+ circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
192
+ is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
193
+ the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
194
+ modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
195
+ users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
196
+ technological measures.
197
+
198
+ 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
199
+
200
+ You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
201
+ receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
202
+ appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
203
+ keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
204
+ non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
205
+ keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
206
+ recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
207
+
208
+ You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
209
+ and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
210
+
211
+ 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
212
+
213
+ You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
214
+ produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
215
+ terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
216
+
217
+ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
218
+ it, and giving a relevant date.
219
+
220
+ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
221
+ released under this License and any conditions added under section
222
+ 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
223
+ "keep intact all notices".
224
+
225
+ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
226
+ License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
227
+ License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
228
+ additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
229
+ regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
230
+ permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
231
+ invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
232
+
233
+ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
234
+ Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
235
+ interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
236
+ work need not make them do so.
237
+
238
+ A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
239
+ works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
240
+ and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
241
+ in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
242
+ "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
243
+ used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
244
+ beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
245
+ in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
246
+ parts of the aggregate.
247
+
248
+ 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
249
+
250
+ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
251
+ of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
252
+ machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
253
+ in one of these ways:
254
+
255
+ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
256
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
257
+ Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
258
+ customarily used for software interchange.
259
+
260
+ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
261
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
262
+ written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
263
+ long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
264
+ model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
265
+ copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
266
+ product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
267
+ medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
268
+ more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
269
+ conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
270
+ Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
271
+
272
+ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
273
+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
274
+ alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
275
+ only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
276
+ with subsection 6b.
277
+
278
+ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
279
+ place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
280
+ Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
281
+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
282
+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
283
+ copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
284
+ may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
285
+ that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
286
+ clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
287
+ Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
288
+ Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
289
+ available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
290
+
291
+ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
292
+ you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
293
+ Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
294
+ charge under subsection 6d.
295
+
296
+ A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
297
+ from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
298
+ included in conveying the object code work.
299
+
300
+ A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
301
+ tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
302
+ or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
303
+ into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
304
+ doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
305
+ product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
306
+ typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
307
+ of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
308
+ actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
309
+ is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
310
+ commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
311
+ the only significant mode of use of the product.
312
+
313
+ "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
314
+ procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
315
+ and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
316
+ a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
317
+ suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
318
+ code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
319
+ modification has been made.
320
+
321
+ If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
322
+ specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
323
+ part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
324
+ User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
325
+ fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
326
+ Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
327
+ by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
328
+ if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
329
+ modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
330
+ been installed in ROM).
331
+
332
+ The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
333
+ requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
334
+ for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
335
+ the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
336
+ network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
337
+ adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
338
+ protocols for communication across the network.
339
+
340
+ Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
341
+ in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
342
+ documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
343
+ source code form), and must require no special password or key for
344
+ unpacking, reading or copying.
345
+
346
+ 7. Additional Terms.
347
+
348
+ "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
349
+ License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
350
+ Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
351
+ be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
352
+ that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
353
+ apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
354
+ under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
355
+ this License without regard to the additional permissions.
356
+
357
+ When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
358
+ remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
359
+ it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
360
+ removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
361
+ additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
362
+ for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
363
+
364
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
365
+ add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
366
+ that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
367
+
368
+ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
369
+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
370
+
371
+ b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
372
+ author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
373
+ Notices displayed by works containing it; or
374
+
375
+ c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
376
+ requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
377
+ reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
378
+
379
+ d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
380
+ authors of the material; or
381
+
382
+ e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
383
+ trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
384
+
385
+ f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
386
+ material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
387
+ it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
388
+ any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
389
+ those licensors and authors.
390
+
391
+ All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
392
+ restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
393
+ received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
394
+ governed by this License along with a term that is a further
395
+ restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
396
+ a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
397
+ License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
398
+ of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
399
+ not survive such relicensing or conveying.
400
+
401
+ If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
402
+ must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
403
+ additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
404
+ where to find the applicable terms.
405
+
406
+ Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
407
+ form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
408
+ the above requirements apply either way.
409
+
410
+ 8. Termination.
411
+
412
+ You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
413
+ provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
414
+ modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
415
+ this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
416
+ paragraph of section 11).
417
+
418
+ However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
419
+ license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
420
+ provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
421
+ finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
422
+ holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
423
+ prior to 60 days after the cessation.
424
+
425
+ Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
426
+ reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
427
+ violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
428
+ received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
429
+ copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
430
+ your receipt of the notice.
431
+
432
+ Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
433
+ licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
434
+ this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
435
+ reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
436
+ material under section 10.
437
+
438
+ 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
439
+
440
+ You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
441
+ run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
442
+ occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
443
+ to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
444
+ nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
445
+ modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
446
+ not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
447
+ covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
448
+
449
+ 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
450
+
451
+ Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
452
+ receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
453
+ propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
454
+ for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
455
+
456
+ An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
457
+ organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
458
+ organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
459
+ work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
460
+ transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
461
+ licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
462
+ give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
463
+ Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
464
+ the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
465
+
466
+ You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
467
+ rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
468
+ not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
469
+ rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
470
+ (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
471
+ any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
472
+ sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
473
+
474
+ 11. Patents.
475
+
476
+ A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
477
+ License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
478
+ work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
479
+
480
+ A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
481
+ owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
482
+ hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
483
+ by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
484
+ but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
485
+ consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
486
+ purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
487
+ patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
488
+ this License.
489
+
490
+ Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
491
+ patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
492
+ make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
493
+ propagate the contents of its contributor version.
494
+
495
+ In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
496
+ agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
497
+ (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
498
+ sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
499
+ party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
500
+ patent against the party.
501
+
502
+ If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
503
+ and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
504
+ to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
505
+ publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
506
+ then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
507
+ available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
508
+ patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
509
+ consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
510
+ license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
511
+ actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
512
+ covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
513
+ in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
514
+ country that you have reason to believe are valid.
515
+
516
+ If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
517
+ arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
518
+ covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
519
+ receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
520
+ or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
521
+ you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
522
+ work and works based on it.
523
+
524
+ A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
525
+ the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
526
+ conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
527
+ specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
528
+ work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
529
+ in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
530
+ to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
531
+ the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
532
+ parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
533
+ patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
534
+ conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
535
+ for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
536
+ contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
537
+ or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
538
+
539
+ Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
540
+ any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
541
+ otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
542
+
543
+ 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
544
+
545
+ If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
546
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
547
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
548
+ covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
549
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
550
+ not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
551
+ to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
552
+ the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
553
+ License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
554
+
555
+ 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
556
+
557
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
558
+ permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
559
+ under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
560
+ combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
561
+ License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
562
+ but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
563
+ section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
564
+ combination as such.
565
+
566
+ 14. Revised Versions of this License.
567
+
568
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
569
+ the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
570
+ be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
571
+ address new problems or concerns.
572
+
573
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
574
+ Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
575
+ Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
576
+ option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
577
+ version or of any later version published by the Free Software
578
+ Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
579
+ GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
580
+ by the Free Software Foundation.
581
+
582
+ If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
583
+ versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
584
+ public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
585
+ to choose that version for the Program.
586
+
587
+ Later license versions may give you additional or different
588
+ permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
589
+ author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
590
+ later version.
591
+
592
+ 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
593
+
594
+ THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
595
+ APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
596
+ HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
597
+ OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
598
+ THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
599
+ PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
600
+ IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
601
+ ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
602
+
603
+ 16. Limitation of Liability.
604
+
605
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
606
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
607
+ THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
608
+ GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
609
+ USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
610
+ DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
611
+ PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
612
+ EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
613
+ SUCH DAMAGES.
614
+
615
+ 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
616
+
617
+ If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
618
+ above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
619
+ reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
620
+ an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
621
+ Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
622
+ copy of the Program in return for a fee.
623
+
624
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
625
+
626
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
627
+
628
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
629
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
630
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
631
+
632
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
633
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
634
+ state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
635
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
636
+
637
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
638
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
639
+
640
+ This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
641
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
642
+ the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
643
+ (at your option) any later version.
644
+
645
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
646
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
647
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
648
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
649
+
650
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
651
+ along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
652
+
653
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
654
+
655
+ If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
656
+ notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
657
+
658
+ <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
659
+ This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
660
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
661
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
662
+
663
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
664
+ parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
665
+ might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
666
+
667
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
668
+ if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
669
+ For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
670
+ <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
671
+
672
+ The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
673
+ into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
674
+ may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
675
+ the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
676
+ Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
677
