11 | <p style="text-align: center;">Version 3, 29 June 2007</p> |
||
12 | |||
13 | <p>Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||
14 | <<a href="http://fsf.org/">http://fsf.org/</a>></p><p> |
||
15 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
||
16 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</p>
|
||
17 | |||
18 | <h3><a name="preamble"></a>Preamble</h3> |
||
19 | |||
20 | <p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
||
21 | software and other kinds of works.</p>
|
||
22 | |||
23 | <p>The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
||
24 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
||
25 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
||
26 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
||
27 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
||
28 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
||
29 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
||
30 | your programs, too.</p>
|
||
31 | |||
32 | <p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
||
33 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
||
34 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
||
35 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
||
36 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
||
37 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things.</p>
|
||
38 | |||
39 | <p>To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
||
40 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
||
41 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
||
42 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.</p>
|
||
43 | |||
44 | <p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
||
45 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
||
46 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
||
47 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
||
48 | know their rights.</p>
|
||
49 | |||
50 | <p>Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
||
51 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
||
52 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.</p>
|
||
53 | |||
54 | <p>For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
||
55 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
||
56 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
||
57 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
||
58 | authors of previous versions.</p>
|
||
59 | |||
60 | <p>Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
||
61 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
||
62 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
||
63 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
||
64 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
||
65 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
||
66 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
||
67 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
||
68 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
||
69 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.</p>
|
||
70 | |||
71 | <p>Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
||
72 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
||
73 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
||
74 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
||
75 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
||
76 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.</p>
|
||
77 | |||
78 | <p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
||
79 | modification follow.</p>
|
||
80 | |||
81 | <h3><a name="terms"></a>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h3> |
||
82 | |||
83 | <h4><a name="section0"></a>0. Definitions.</h4> |
||
84 | |||
85 | <p>“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.</p> |
||
86 | |||
87 | <p>“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
||
88 | works, such as semiconductor masks.</p>
|
||
89 | |||
90 | <p>“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
||
91 | License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and |
||
92 | “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.</p>
|
||
93 | |||
94 | <p>To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
||
95 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
||
96 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the |
||
97 | earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.</p>
|
||
98 | |||
99 | <p>A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
||
100 | on the Program.</p>
|
||
101 | |||
102 | <p>To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
||
103 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
||
104 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
||
105 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
||
106 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
||
107 | public, and in some countries other activities as well.</p>
|
||
108 | |||
109 | <p>To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
||
110 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
||
111 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.</p>
|
||
112 | |||
113 | <p>An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices”
|
||
114 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
||
115 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
||
116 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
||
117 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
||
118 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
||
119 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
||
120 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.</p>
|
||
121 | |||
122 | <h4><a name="section1"></a>1. Source Code.</h4> |
||
123 | |||
124 | <p>The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
||
125 | for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source |
||
126 | form of a work.</p>
|
||
127 | |||
128 | <p>A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
|
||
129 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
||
130 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
||
131 | is widely used among developers working in that language.</p>
|
||
132 | |||
133 | <p>The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other
|
||
134 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
||
135 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
||
136 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
||
137 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
||
138 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
||
139 | “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component |
||
140 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
||
141 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
||
142 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.</p>
|
||
143 | |||
144 | <p>The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all
|
||
145 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
||
146 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
||
147 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
||
148 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
||
149 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
||
150 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
||
151 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
||
152 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
||
153 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
||
154 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
||
155 | subprograms and other parts of the work.</p>
|
||
156 | |||
157 | <p>The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
|
||
158 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
||
159 | Source.</p>
|
||
160 | |||
161 | <p>The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
|
||
162 | same work.</p>
|
||
163 | |||
164 | <h4><a name="section2"></a>2. Basic Permissions.</h4> |
||
165 | |||
166 | <p>All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
||
167 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
||
168 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
||
169 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
||
170 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
||
171 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
||
172 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.</p>
|
||
173 | |||
174 | <p>You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
|
||
175 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
||
176 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
||
177 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
||
178 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
||
179 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
||
180 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
||
181 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
||
182 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
||
183 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.</p>
|
||
184 | |||
185 | <p>Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
|
||
186 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
||
187 | makes it unnecessary.</p>
|
||
188 | |||
189 | <h4><a name="section3"></a>3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.</h4> |
||
190 | |||
191 | <p>No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
|
||
192 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
||
193 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
||
194 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
||
195 | measures.</p>
|
||
196 | |||
197 | <p>When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
||
198 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
||
199 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
||
200 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
||
201 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
||
202 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
||
203 | technological measures.</p>
|
||
204 | |||
205 | <h4><a name="section4"></a>4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.</h4> |
||
206 | |||
207 | <p>You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
|
||
208 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
||
209 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
||
210 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
||
211 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
||
212 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
||
213 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.</p>
|
||
214 | |||
215 | <p>You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
|
||
216 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.</p>
|
||
217 | |||
218 | <h4><a name="section5"></a>5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.</h4> |
||
219 | |||
220 | <p>You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
|
||
221 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
||
222 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</p>
|
||
223 | |||
224 | <ul>
|
||
225 | <li>a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
|
||
226 | it, and giving a relevant date.</li>
|
||
227 | |||
228 | <li>b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
|
||
229 | released under this License and any conditions added under section |
||
230 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to |
||
231 | “keep intact all notices”.</li>
|
||
232 | |||
233 | <li>c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
|
||
234 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This |
||
235 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 |
||
236 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, |
||
237 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no |
||
238 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not |
||
239 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.</li>
|
||
240 | |||
241 | <li>d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
||
242 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
||
243 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your |
||
244 | work need not make them do so.</li>
|
||
245 | </ul>
|
||
246 | |||
247 | <p>A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
|
||
248 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
||
249 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, |
||
250 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an |
||
251 | “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not |
||
252 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users |
||
253 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work |
||
254 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
||
255 | parts of the aggregate.</p>
|
||
256 | |||
257 | <h4><a name="section6"></a>6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.</h4> |
||
258 | |||
259 | <p>You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
|
||
260 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the |
||
261 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, |
||
262 | in one of these ways:</p>
|
||
263 | |||
264 | <ul>
|
||
265 | <li>a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
||
266 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the |
||
267 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium |
||
268 | customarily used for software interchange.</li>
|
||
269 | |||
270 | <li>b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
||
271 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a |
||
272 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as |
||
273 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product |
||
274 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a |
||
275 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the |
||
276 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical |
||
277 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
||
278 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this |
||
279 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the |
||
280 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.</li>
|
||
281 | |||
282 | <li>c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
|
||
283 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This |
||
284 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and |
||
285 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord |
||
286 | with subsection 6b.</li>
|
||
287 | |||
288 | <li>d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
|
||
289 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the |
||
290 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no |
||
291 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the |
||
292 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to |
||
293 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source |
||
294 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) |
||
295 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain |
||
296 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
||
297 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
||
298 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is |
||
299 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.</li>
|
||
300 | |||
301 | <li>e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
|
||
302 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding |
||
303 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no |
||
304 | charge under subsection 6d.</li>
|
||
305 | </ul>
|
||
306 | |||
307 | <p>A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
|
||
308 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be |
||
309 | included in conveying the object code work.</p>
|
||
310 | |||
311 | <p>A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
|
||
312 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, |
||
313 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation |
||
314 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, |
||
315 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular |
||
316 | product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a |
||
317 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status |
||
318 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user |
||
319 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product |
||
320 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial |
||
321 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent |
||
322 | the only significant mode of use of the product.</p>
|
||
323 | |||
324 | <p>“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
|
||
325 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install |
||
326 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from |
||
327 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must |
||
328 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object |
||
329 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because |
||
330 | modification has been made.</p>
|
||
331 | |||
332 | <p>If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
|
||
333 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as |
||
334 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the |
||
335 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a |
||
336 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the |
||
337 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied |
||
338 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply |
||
339 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install |
||
340 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has |
||
341 | been installed in ROM).</p>
|
||
342 | |||
343 | <p>The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
||
344 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates |
||
345 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for |
||
346 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a |
||
347 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and |
||
348 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and |
||
349 | protocols for communication across the network.</p>
|
||
350 | |||
351 | <p>Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
|
||
352 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly |
||
353 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in |
||
354 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for |
||
355 | unpacking, reading or copying.</p>
|
||
356 | |||
357 | <h4><a name="section7"></a>7. Additional Terms.</h4> |
||
358 | |||
359 | <p>“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
|
||
360 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. |
||
361 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall |
||
362 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent |
||
363 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions |
||
364 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately |
||
365 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by |
||
366 | this License without regard to the additional permissions.</p>
|
||
367 | |||
368 | <p>When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
||
369 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of |
||
370 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own |
||
371 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place |
||
372 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, |
||
373 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.</p>
|
||
374 | |||
375 | <p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
|
||
376 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of |
||
377 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:</p>
|
||
378 | |||
379 | <ul>
|
||
380 | <li>a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
|
||
381 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or</li>
|
||
382 | |||
383 | <li>b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
|
||
384 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal |
||
385 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or</li>
|
||
386 | |||
387 | <li>c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
|
||
388 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in |
||
389 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or</li>
|
||
390 | |||
391 | <li>d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
|
||
392 | authors of the material; or</li>
|
||
393 | |||
394 | <li>e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
|
||
395 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or</li>
|
||
396 | |||
397 | <li>f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
|
||
398 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of |
||
399 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for |
||
400 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on |
||
401 | those licensors and authors.</li>
|
||
402 | </ul>
|
||
403 | |||
404 | <p>All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
|
||
405 | restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you |
||
406 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is |
||
407 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further |
||
408 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains |
||
409 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this |
||
410 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms |
||
411 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does |
||
412 | not survive such relicensing or conveying.</p>
|
||
413 | |||
414 | <p>If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
|
||
415 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the |
||
416 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating |
||
417 | where to find the applicable terms.</p>
|
||
418 | |||
419 | <p>Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
|
||
420 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; |
||
421 | the above requirements apply either way.</p>
|
||
422 | |||
423 | <h4><a name="section8"></a>8. Termination.</h4> |
||
424 | |||
425 | <p>You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
|
||
426 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or |
||
427 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under |
||
428 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third |
||
429 | paragraph of section 11).</p>
|
||
430 | |||
431 | <p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
|
||
432 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) |
||
433 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and |
||
434 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright |
||
435 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means |
||
436 | prior to 60 days after the cessation.</p>
|
||
437 | |||
438 | <p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
||
439 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the |
||
440 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have |
||
441 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that |
||
442 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after |
||
443 | your receipt of the notice.</p>
|
||
444 | |||
445 | <p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
|
||
446 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under |
||
447 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently |
||
448 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same |
||
449 | material under section 10.</p>
|
||
450 | |||
451 | <h4><a name="section9"></a>9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.</h4> |
||
452 | |||
453 | <p>You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
|
||
454 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work |
||
455 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission |
||
456 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, |
||
457 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or |
||
458 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do |
||
459 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a |
||
460 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.</p>
|
||
461 | |||
462 | <h4><a name="section10"></a>10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.</h4> |
||
463 | |||
464 | <p>Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
|
||
465 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and |
||
466 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible |
||
467 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.</p>
|
||
468 | |||
469 | <p>An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
|
||
470 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
||
471 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered |
||
472 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that |
||
473 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever |
||
474 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could |
||
475 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the |
||
476 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if |
||
477 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.</p>
|
||
478 | |||
479 | <p>You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
|
||
480 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may |
||
481 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of |
||
482 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation |
||
483 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
||
484 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for |
||
485 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.</p>
|
||
486 | |||
487 | <h4><a name="section11"></a>11. Patents.</h4> |
||
488 | |||
489 | <p>A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
||
490 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The |
||
491 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.</p>
|
||
492 | |||
493 | <p>A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims
|
||
494 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or |
||
495 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted |
||
496 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, |
||
497 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a |
||
498 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For |
||
499 | purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant |
||
500 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
||
501 | this License.</p>
|
||
502 | |||
503 | <p>Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
|
||
504 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
||
505 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
||
506 | propagate the contents of its contributor version.</p>
|
||
507 | |||
508 | <p>In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
|
||
509 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent |
||
510 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to |
||
511 | sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a |
||
512 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a |
||
513 | patent against the party.</p>
|
||
514 | |||
515 | <p>If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
|
||
516 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone |
||
517 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a |
||
518 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, |
||
519 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so |
||
520 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the |
||
521 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner |
||
522 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
||
523 | license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have |
||
524 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the |
||
525 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work |
||
526 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that |
||
527 | country that you have reason to believe are valid.</p>
|
||
528 | |||
529 | <p>If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
||
530 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a |
||
531 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties |
||
532 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify |
||
533 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license |
||
534 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered |
||
535 | work and works based on it.</p>
|
||
536 | |||
537 | <p>A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within
|
||
538 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is |
||
539 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are |
||
540 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered |
||
541 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is |
||
542 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment |
||
543 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying |
||
544 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
||
545 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
||
546 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work |
||
547 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily |
||
548 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that |
||
549 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, |
||
550 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.</p>
|
||
551 | |||
552 | <p>Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
|
||
553 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may |
||
554 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.</p>
|
||
555 | |||
556 | <h4><a name="section12"></a>12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.</h4> |
||
557 | |||
558 | <p>If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
||
559 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
||
560 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
||
561 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
||
562 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
||
563 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
||
564 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
||
565 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
||
566 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.</p>
|
||
567 | |||
568 | <h4><a name="section13"></a>13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.</h4> |
||
569 | |||
570 | <p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
|
||
571 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
||
572 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
||
573 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this |
||
574 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
||
575 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
||
576 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
||
577 | combination as such.</p>
|
||
578 | |||
579 | <h4><a name="section14"></a>14. Revised Versions of this License.</h4> |
||
580 | |||
581 | <p>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
|
||
582 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
||
583 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
||
584 | address new problems or concerns.</p>
|
||
585 | |||
586 | <p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
||
587 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
||
588 | Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the |
||
589 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
||
590 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
||
591 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
||
592 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
||
593 | by the Free Software Foundation.</p>
|
||
594 | |||
595 | <p>If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
|
||
596 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
||
597 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
||
598 | to choose that version for the Program.</p>
|
||
599 | |||
600 | <p>Later license versions may give you additional or different
|
||
601 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
||
602 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
||
603 | later version.</p>
|
||
604 | |||
605 | <h4><a name="section15"></a>15. Disclaimer of Warranty.</h4> |
||
606 | |||
607 | <p>THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
||
608 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
||
609 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY |
||
610 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
||
611 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
||
612 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM |
||
613 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF |
||
614 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</p>
|
||
615 | |||
616 | <h4><a name="section16"></a>16. Limitation of Liability.</h4> |
||
617 | |||
618 | <p>IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
||
619 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS |
||
620 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
||
621 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
||
622 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
||
623 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
||
624 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), |
||
625 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF |
||
626 | SUCH DAMAGES.</p>
|
||
627 | |||
628 | <h4><a name="section17"></a>17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.</h4> |
||
629 | |||
630 | <p>If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
|
||
631 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, |
||
632 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates |
||
633 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the |
||
634 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a |
||
635 | copy of the Program in return for a fee.</p>
|
||
636 | |||
637 | <p>END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS</p> |
||
638 | |||
639 | <h3><a name="howto"></a>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs</h3> |
||
640 | |||
641 | <p>If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
||
642 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
||
643 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.</p>
|
||
644 | |||
645 | <p>To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
||
646 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
||
647 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
||
648 | the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.</p>
|
||
649 | |||
650 | <pre> <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |

666 | |||
667 | <p>Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.</p> |

668 | |||
669 | <p>If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|

677 | |||
678 | <p>The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
