| 71 | <h3 style="text-align: center;">GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</h3> |
||
| 72 | <p style="text-align: center;">Version 3, 29 June 2007</p> |
||
| 73 | |||
| 74 | <p>Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||
| 75 | <<a href="http://fsf.org/">http://fsf.org/</a>></p><p> |
||
| 76 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
||
| 77 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</p>
|
||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | <h3><a name="preamble" />Preamble</h3> |
||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | <p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
||
| 82 | software and other kinds of works.</p>
|
||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | <p>The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
||
| 85 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
||
| 86 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
||
| 87 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
||
| 88 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
||
| 89 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
||
| 90 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
||
| 91 | your programs, too.</p>
|
||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | <p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
||
| 94 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
||
| 95 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
||
| 96 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
||
| 97 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
||
| 98 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things.</p>
|
||
| 99 | |||
| 100 | <p>To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
||
| 101 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
||
| 102 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
||
| 103 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.</p>
|
||
| 104 | |||
| 105 | <p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
||
| 106 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
||
| 107 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
||
| 108 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
||
| 109 | know their rights.</p>
|
||
| 110 | |||
| 111 | <p>Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
||
| 112 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
||
| 113 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.</p>
|
||
| 114 | |||
| 115 | <p>For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
||
| 116 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
||
| 117 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
||
| 118 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
||
| 119 | authors of previous versions.</p>
|
||
| 120 | |||
| 121 | <p>Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
||
| 122 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
||
| 123 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
||
| 124 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
||
| 125 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
||
| 126 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
||
| 127 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
||
| 128 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
||
| 129 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
||
| 130 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.</p>
|
||
| 131 | |||
| 132 | <p>Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
||
| 133 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
||
| 134 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
||
| 135 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
||
| 136 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
||
| 137 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.</p>
|
||
| 138 | |||
| 139 | <p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
||
| 140 | modification follow.</p>
|
||
| 141 | |||
| 142 | <h3><a name="terms" />TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h3> |
||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | <h4><a name="section0" />0. Definitions.</h4> |
||
| 145 | |||
| 146 | <p>“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.</p> |
||
| 147 | |||
| 148 | <p>“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
||
| 149 | works, such as semiconductor masks.</p>
|
||
| 150 | |||
| 151 | <p>“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
||
| 152 | License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and |
||
| 153 | “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.</p>
|
||
| 154 | |||
| 155 | <p>To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
||
| 156 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
||
| 157 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the |
||
| 158 | earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.</p>
|
||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | <p>A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
||
| 161 | on the Program.</p>
|
||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | <p>To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
||
| 164 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
||
| 165 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
||
| 166 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
||
| 167 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
||
| 168 | public, and in some countries other activities as well.</p>
|
||
| 169 | |||
| 170 | <p>To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
||
| 171 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
||
| 172 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.</p>
|
||
| 173 | |||
| 174 | <p>An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices”
|
||
| 175 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
||
| 176 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
||
| 177 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
||
| 178 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
||
| 179 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
||
| 180 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
||
| 181 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.</p>
|
||
| 182 | |||
| 183 | <h4><a name="section1" />1. Source Code.</h4> |
||
| 184 | |||
| 185 | <p>The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
||
| 186 | for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source |
||
| 187 | form of a work.</p>
|
||
| 188 | |||
| 189 | <p>A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
|
||
| 190 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
||
| 191 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
||
| 192 | is widely used among developers working in that language.</p>
|
||
| 193 | |||
| 194 | <p>The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other
|
||
| 195 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
||
| 196 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
||
| 197 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
||
| 198 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
||
| 199 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
||
| 200 | “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component |
||
| 201 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
||
| 202 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
||
| 203 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.</p>
|
||
| 204 | |||
| 205 | <p>The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all
|
||
| 206 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
||
| 207 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
||
| 208 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
||
| 209 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
||
| 210 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
||
| 211 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
||
| 212 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
||
| 213 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
||
| 214 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
||
| 215 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
||
| 216 | subprograms and other parts of the work.</p>
|
||
| 217 | |||
| 218 | <p>The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
|
||
| 219 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
||
| 220 | Source.</p>
