+
6
+ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/),
7
+ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

+ For the history of the original Perl implementation (versions up to and

+
12
+ ## [Unreleased]
13
+
14
+ No changes yet since 0.1.0a1.
15
+
16
+ ## [0.1.0a1] - 2026-06-16
17
+
18
+ The Python port (`src/pyferm/`). Phase 1 reproduces the Perl
19
+ implementation's behaviour and emits `iptables` rulesets; its output is
20
+ validated byte-for-byte against the Perl oracle kept in `reference/`.
21
+
22
+ Phase 2 adds an **opt-in native `nftables` backend** behind `--nft`. The
23
+ default backend stays `iptables`, so existing configurations and output
24
+ are unchanged unless `--nft` is passed.
25
+
26
+ ### Added — packaging
27
+
28
+ - **PyPI wheel and sdist** (`pip install ferm`). Built with `uv build` and
29
+ published via Trusted Publishing — no token secrets stored in CI. The
30
+ package name on PyPI is `ferm`; the `dns` extra (`pip install ferm[dns]`)
31
+ pulls in `dnspython` for full record-type support in `@resolve()`. Version
32
+ is derived from the `py-v<PEP440>` git tag through `hatch-vcs`, so the
33
+ wheel version and the tag are always the same source.
34
+ - **Native `.deb` package** (`pyferm`). Installs `/usr/bin/ferm` and
35
+ `/usr/bin/import-ferm` and declares `Provides: ferm`, `Conflicts: ferm`,
36
+ `Replaces: ferm` so it is a drop-in replacement for the Perl `ferm` Debian
37
+ package — installing `pyferm` removes the Perl package and satisfies any
38
+ dependency that requires `ferm`. The `.deb` ships a starter
39
+ `/etc/ferm/ferm.conf` (DROP policy on `INPUT`; only SSH on port 22 by the
40
+ `ssh` service name and the RFC 4890 ICMPv6 essentials subset are accepted)
41
+ and a `ferm.service` unit that is **not** enabled or started on install
42
+ (anti-lockout). Drop-in fragments under `/etc/ferm/ferm.d/*.conf` are
43
+ merged at runtime. See the installation section of the
44
+ [README](README.md) for safety notes before enabling the service.
45
+ - **Standalone binary distribution** for **Linux x86_64** (glibc **2.28**
46
+ or newer), published as `ferm-<version>-linux-x86_64.tar.gz`. It bundles
47
+ its own Python runtime and `dnspython`, so the target host needs no
48
+ Python install; it does not bundle `iptables` / `nft`, which must be
49
+ present at runtime. Unpacking yields a `ferm.dist/` directory with the
50
+ `ferm` binary and an `import-ferm` symlink. **Install invariant:** the
51
+ binary loads bundled shared objects from its own directory, so keep it
52
+ inside `ferm.dist/` and link to it (don't copy the bare binary out);
53
+ unpack into a root-owned, non-world-writable directory. See the
54
+ installation section of the [README](README.md) for the full provenance
55
+ and threat-model notes.
56
+ - **Dynamic release version from git tag (`hatch-vcs`).** The distribution
57
+ version is derived from the `py-v<PEP440>` git tag via `hatch-vcs`, so
58
+ the wheel, sdist, binary, and `.deb` all carry the same version as the tag
59
+ with no manual edit required. The build verifies the tag and the derived
60
+ version agree before publishing.
61
+ - **Bundled third-party license texts.** The tarball ships a `LICENSES/`
62
+ directory with the verbatim license text of every native library frozen
63
+ into the binary (CPython, dnspython, OpenSSL, libffi, bzip2, xz, mpdecimal)
64
+ plus a manifest. The build fails closed if any bundled library has no
65
+ license text, so the artifact is never published without its notices.
66
+ - **glibc-floor release gate.** Releases now load the packaged binary on a
67
+ pinned glibc 2.28 image (not the build image), so a symbol above the
68
+ advertised floor fails the release rather than a user's old distro.
69
+
70
+ ### Added — Phase 2 (native nft backend)
71
+
72
+ - **Opt-in `--nft` native nftables backend.** Translates the structured
73
+ rule into a native nft ruleset and applies it atomically via
74
+ `nft -f -`. It uses the nft *text* wire only and has no dependency on
75
+ nft's JSON / `libjansson` build. `--nft` is strictly opt-in; the
76
+ default remains the `iptables` backend.
77
+ - **`--nft` validates the ruleset with `nft -c -f -` before applying.**
78
+ The applier runs nft's text `--check` (a netlink validation that
79
+ installs nothing) first and only pipes the real `nft -f -` once it
80
+ passes, surfacing nft's own diagnostic *before* any kernel change
81
+ instead of a generic apply failure.
82
+ - **`--nft --interactive --shell` emits a working anti-lockout net.** The
83
+ generated shell script snapshots ferm's table (`nft list table`) before
84
+ applying, and after the confirmation timeout deletes the freshly-applied
85
+ table and reloads the snapshot (`nft -f`) — mirroring the live rollback,
86
+ so an admin who never confirms is restored. The script also echoes the
87
+ rollback to stderr, so the otherwise-silenced restores (`2>/dev/null`)
88
+ no longer revert a timed-out admin without a word.
89
+
90
+ ### Changed — Phase 2 (native nft backend)
91
+
92
+ - **`policy DROP` semantics differ under `--nft`.** The nft backend owns
93
+ a single `table <family> ferm` and does not take over the monolithic
94
+ kernel `INPUT` / `FORWARD` / `OUTPUT` chains the way the flat iptables
95
+ ruleset effectively does. ferm's base chains therefore coexist with
96
+ other tables' base chains on the same hook (ordered by priority), so a
97
+ packet may be accepted by a higher-priority foreign chain before
98
+ reaching ferm's chain. A `policy DROP` in `table ip ferm` consequently
99
+ behaves differently from iptables' monolithic `INPUT DROP`. This is the
100
+ documented, expected behaviour of the own-table model, not a bug;
101
+ admins who need the exact monolithic-DROP semantics should stay on the
102
+ default `iptables` backend.
103
+
104
+ ### Removed / not supported — Phase 2 (native nft backend)
105
+
106
+ - **`@preserve` is not supported by the `--nft` backend.** Using
107
+ `@preserve` together with `--nft` is a clean, explicit error rather
108
+ than a silent no-op. This is a deliberate, opt-in-backend regression;
109
+ the default `iptables` backend supports `@preserve` exactly as before.
110
+
111
+ - **Port-bearing NAT requires a transport match under `--nft`.** A NAT
112
+ verdict that maps a port (`DNAT to ...:port`, `SNAT to ...:port`,
113
+ `REDIRECT`/`MASQUERADE to-ports`) with no preceding `proto tcp`/`udp`
114
+ match is now a clean ferm error at translate time, because nft rejects
115
+ such a mapping at apply (`transport protocol mapping is only valid after
116
+ transport protocol match`) and would otherwise force a rollback. Add a
117
+ protocol match to the rule.
118
+
119
+ ### Security — Phase 2 (native nft backend)
120
+
121
+ - **`--nft` operands are escaped or validated before they reach the save
122
+ script.** A config value carrying whitespace, `;`, `#`, or a double
123
+ quote could previously break out of its nft token — for example
124
+ `saddr "1.2.3.4 accept;#" DROP` rendered as
125
+ `ip saddr 1.2.3.4 accept;# drop`, silently turning a `DROP` rule into
126
+ `accept` (a form `nft -c` validates without complaint). Interface names
127
+ are now emitted as escaped nft quoted strings (the `*` wildcard is
128
+ preserved); addresses, ports, **protocols**, rate limits, and chain
129
+ identifiers are grammar-validated, raising a plain ferm error rather
130
+ than a ruleset nft would mis-apply. The protocol operand specifically
131
+ (`proto "tcp accept;#" DROP` → `meta l4proto tcp accept;# drop`) was the
132
+ last unguarded sink and is now validated like the others. The default
133
+ `iptables` backend already escaped these operands and was never affected.
134
+ - **A failed rollback snapshot no longer degrades into a destructive
135
+ delete.** The `--nft` rollback deletes ferm's own table when there is no
136
+ previous snapshot (a genuine first run); a transient `nft list table`
137
+ failure on an *existing* table is now distinguished from a real first run
138
+ (by its non-`ENOENT` error) and aborts before any kernel change, instead
139
+ of being mistaken for "no previous table" and deleting it on rollback.
140
+
141
+ ### Fixed
142
+
143
+ - nft backend: render `reject-with tcp-reset` in the `ip6` family (it was
144
+ only mapped for `ip`), matching the default backend and nftables' own
145
+ family-agnostic `reject with tcp reset`.
146
+
147
+ ### Changed
148
+
149
+ - `dnspython` is now an optional dependency (`pip install pyferm[dns]`).
150
+ Without it, `@resolve` uses the system stub resolver (`getaddrinfo`) and
151
+ supports only `A`/`AAAA` records; `NS`/`MX` and other types raise a clear
152
+ error. **Migration:** installs that relied on the previously-transitive
153
+ `dnspython` get the stub backend after upgrading; reinstall with
154
+ `pyferm[dns]` to restore `NS`/`MX` support.
155
+
156
+ ### Added — Phase 1 (faithful port)
157
+
158
+ - **Configuration language front end** ported from Perl: tokenizer and
159
+ lazy token stream, the recursive-descent `enter()` parser over blocks,
160
+ scopes and keywords, copy-on-write variable/function/array scoping, and
161
+ deferred value realization (`@resolve()`, `@ipfilter()` and friends
162
+ expand late).
163
+ - **Module-definition registry** and the compact option-encoding DSL
164
+ (`add_proto_def` / `add_match_def` / `add_target_def` equivalents), so
165
+ supported netfilter modules carry over from the Perl tables.
166
+ - **Rule assembly** — rule structure, unfolding into the cartesian product
167
+ of option lists, `format_option` and byte-faithful `shell_escape`.
168
+ - **Per-family domains and the frozen `Options` model**, with the
169
+ domains → backend injection seam.
170
+ - **iptables backend** with both execution paths: `--fast` (build a save
171
+ file and pipe it to `iptables-restore`, atomic) and `--slow` (one
172
+ `iptables` call per rule), plus `--shell` script emission.
173
+ - **CLI and top-level flow**, including `--noexec`, `--lines`,
174
+ `--interactive` rollback with confirmation timeout, and the
175
+ `ip` / `ip6` / `arp` / `eb` families.
176
+ - **`import-ferm`** — converts an `iptables-save` dump into a ferm
177
+ configuration (save → ferm → save round-trip).
178
+ - **`@resolve` name resolver** backed by `dnspython`.
179
+
180
+ ### Testing & tooling
181
+
182
+ - **Golden-file test harness** validated against the Perl oracle, with
183
+ canonicalisation of the non-deterministic table/chain output order.
184
+ - **Differential fuzzing against the Perl oracle** (Hypothesis):
185
+ tokenizer, `shell_escape`, import lexing, backtick splitting, `@substr`,
186
+ option tokens, previous-state reader, and whole grammar-generated
187
+ configs — driving fixes for `\s` Unicode handling (`re.ASCII`), Perl
188
+ numification, the `substr`/undef model and byte-faithful save-dump
189
+ regexes.
190
+ - **Real-world config corpus** compiled against the oracle (fast + slow).
191
+ - **`atheris` crash fuzzing** of both parsers and a **containerised
192
+ anti-lockout e2e** for `--interactive` (both opt-in), plus a periodic
193
+ **`mutmut` mutation** session.
194
+ - **Containerised data-plane e2e** (`nox -s datapath_e2e`, opt-in): drives
195
+ real traffic with `nmap --reason` / `ncat` through ferm-installed rules
196
+ across a three-netns topology, asserting ACCEPT / DROP / REJECT / state /
197
+ NAT behaviour and parity between the `--nft` and default backends. An
198
+ extensible distro matrix (`nox -s datapath_e2e_matrix`) reruns the same
199
+ suite on Debian (bookworm + trixie), Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, Rocky and
200
+ openSUSE Leap, detecting the package manager (apt / dnf / apk / pacman /
201
+ zypper) so adding a distro is a one-line entry.
202
+ - **Diagnostics parity** goldens pinning stderr for negative / params /
203
+ warning cases.
204
+ - **Byte-faithful I/O**: config, backtick, zonefile and `--def` (`argv`)
205
+ input read as latin-1 bytes and carried across the CLI, restore and
206
+ `import-ferm` boundaries.
207
+ - **`MAX_BLOCK_DEPTH`** bound on parser block nesting and **`MAX_VALUE_DEPTH`**
208
+ bound on value-reader nesting, both failing with a located diagnostic
209
+ instead of a stack overflow.
210
+
211
+ ### Project infrastructure
212
+
213
+ - Python project scaffolded at the repo root (`uv` + `src-layout`,
214
+ `hatchling`), declaring support for Python **3.11–3.14**.
215
+ - The original Perl implementation relocated to `reference/` as the
216
+ semantic oracle.
217
+ - `nox`-orchestrated gates (lint, tests, typecheck, coverage floor,
218
+ matrix, fuzz, build, deps-lowest, workflow lint) wired into a binding
219
+ `preflight` and into GitHub Actions CI (static checks split out, patch
220
+ gate on PRs, weekly audit + Dependabot).

6
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8
+
9
+ Preamble
10
+
11
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12
+ freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
13
+ License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14
+ software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
15
+ General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16
+ Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17
+ using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18
+ the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
19
+ your programs, too.
20
+
21
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23
+ have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24
+ this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25
+ if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26
+ in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27
+
28
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29
+ anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30
+ These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31
+ distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32
+
33
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34
+ gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35
+ you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36
+ source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
37
+ rights.
38
+
39
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40
+ (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41
+ distribute and/or modify the software.
42
+
43
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44
+ that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45
+ software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46
+ want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47
+ that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48
+ authors' reputations.
49
+
50
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51
+ patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52
+ program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53
+ program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54
+ patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55
+
56
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57
+ modification follow.
58
+
59
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61
+
62
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63
+ a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64
+ under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
65
+ refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66
+ means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67
+ that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68
+ either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69
+ language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70
+ the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71
+
72
+ Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73
+ covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
74
+ running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75
+ is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76
+ Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77
+ Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78
+
79
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80
+ source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81
+ conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82
+ copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83
+ notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84
+ and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85
+ along with the Program.
86
+
87
+ You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88
+ you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89
+
90
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91
+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92
+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93
+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94
+
95
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97
+
98
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101
+ parties under the terms of this License.
102
+
103
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113
+
114
+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115
+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116
+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117
+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118
+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119
+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120
+ on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121
+ this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122
+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123
+
124
+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125
+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126
+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127
+ collective works based on the Program.
128
+
129
+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130
+ with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131
+ a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132
+ the scope of this License.
133
+
134
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135
+ under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136
+ Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137
+
138
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141
+
142
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
148
+
149
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
151
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
153
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154
+
155
+ The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156
+ making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
157
+ code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158
+ associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159
+ control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
160
+ special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161
+ anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162
+ form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163
+ operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164
+ itself accompanies the executable.
165
+
166
+ If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167
+ access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168
+ access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169
+ distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170
+ compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171
+
172
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174
+ otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175
+ void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176
+ However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177
+ this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178
+ parties remain in full compliance.
179
+
180
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181
+ signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182
+ distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
183
+ prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184
+ modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185
+ Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186
+ all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187
+ the Program or works based on it.
188
+
189
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190
+ Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191
+ original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192
+ these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193
+ restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194
+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195
+ this License.
196
+
197
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198
+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199
+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202
+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204
+ may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205
+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206
+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207
+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208
+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209
+
210
+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211
+ any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212
+ apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213
+ circumstances.
214
+
215
+ It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216
+ patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217
+ such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218
+ integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219
+ implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
220
+ generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221
+ through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222
+ system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223
+ to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
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
240
+ address new problems or concerns.
241
+
242
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
243
+ specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244
+ later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245
+ either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246
+ Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
247
+ this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248
+ Foundation.
249
+
250
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251
+ programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252
+ to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253
+ Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254
+ make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255
+ of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256
+ of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257
+
258
+ NO WARRANTY
259
+
260
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261
+ FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
262
+ OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263
+ PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264
+ OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265
+ MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266
+ TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
267
+ PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268
+ REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269
+
270
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271
+ WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272
+ REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273
+ INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274
+ OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275
+ TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276
+ YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277
+ PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278
+ POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279
+
280
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281
+
282
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283
+
284
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285
+ possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286
+ free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287
+
288
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
289
+ to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290
+ convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291
+ the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292
+
293
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
294
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
295
+
296
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
297
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
298
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
299
+ (at your option) any later version.
300
+
301
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
302
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
303
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
304
+ GNU General Public License for more details.
305
+
306
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307
+ with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
308
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
309
+
310
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311
+
312
+ If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313
+ when it starts in an interactive mode:
314
+
315
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319
+
320
+ The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321
+ parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
322
+ be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323
+ mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324
+
325
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326
+ school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327
+ necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
328
+
329
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

335
+ This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336
+ proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337
+ consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338
+ library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339
+ Public License instead of this License.
