|
<h3 class="heading">Preamble</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
|
|
software and other kinds of works.
|
|
|
|
<p>The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
|
|
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
|
|
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom
|
|
to share and change all versions of a program–to make sure it remains
|
|
free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
|
|
use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
|
|
applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You
|
|
can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
<p>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
|
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
|
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
|
|
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
|
|
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
<p>To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
|
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you
|
|
have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
|
|
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom
|
|
of others.
|
|
|
|
<p>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
|
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
|
|
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too,
|
|
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
|
|
terms so they know their rights.
|
|
|
|
<p>Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
|
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
|
|
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
|
|
|
|
<p>For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
|
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
|
|
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
|
|
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
|
|
authors of previous versions.
|
|
|
|
<p>Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
|
modified versions of the software inside them, although the
|
|
manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the
|
|
aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
|
|
systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
|
|
individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
|
|
Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
|
|
practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in
|
|
other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those
|
|
domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the
|
|
freedom of users.
|
|
|
|
<p>Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
|
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
|
|
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish
|
|
to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program
|
|
could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
|
|
assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
|
|
|
<p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
modification follow.
|
|
|
|
<h3 class="heading">TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol type=1 start=0>
|
|
<li>Definitions.
|
|
|
|
<p>“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
<p>“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
|
|
of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
<p>“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
|
License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
|
|
“recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
|
|
|
|
<p>To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
|
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
|
|
an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of
|
|
the earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
<p>A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
|
on the Program.
|
|
|
|
<p>To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
|
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
|
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
|
|
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
|
|
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
|
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
|
|
|
|
<p>To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
|
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
|
|
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
|
|
conveying.
|
|
|
|
<p>An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to
|
|
the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
|
|
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
|
|
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
|
|
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
|
|
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
|
|
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
|
|
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
<li>Source Code.
|
|
|
|
<p>The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
|
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form
|
|
of a work.
|
|
|
|
<p>A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
|
|
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
|
|
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
|
|
is widely used among developers working in that language.
|
|
|
|
<p>The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other
|
|
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
|
|
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
|
|
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
|
|
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
|
|
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
|
|
“Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component
|
|
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
|
|
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
|
|
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
|
|
|
|
<p>The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all
|
|
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
|
|
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
|
|
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
|
|
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
|
|
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
|
|
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
|
|
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
|
|
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
|
|
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
|
|
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
|
|
subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
<p>The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
|
|
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
|
|
|
|
<p>The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
|
|
work.
|
|
|
|
<li>Basic Permissions.
|
|
|
|
<p>All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
|
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
|
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
|
|
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
|
|
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
|
|
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
|
|
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
|
|
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
|
|
You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
|
|
them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
|
|
facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
|
|
terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
|
|
control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
|
|
you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
|
|
control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
|
|
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
<p>Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
|
|
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
|
|
makes it unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
<li>Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
|
|
<p>No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
|
|
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
|
|
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
|
|
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
|
|
measures.
|
|
|
|
<p>When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
|
|
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
|
|
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
|
|
respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
|
|
operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
|
|
the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
|
|
circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
|
|
<li>Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
|
|
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
|
|
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
|
|
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
|
|
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
|
|
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
|
|
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
|
|
|
|
<li>Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
|
|
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
|
|
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
|
|
conditions:
|
|
|
|
<ol type=a start=1>
|
|
<li>The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
|
|
and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
<li>The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
|
|
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
|
|
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all
|
|
notices”.
|
|
|
|
<li>You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
|
|
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will
|
|
therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms,
|
|
to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they
|
|
are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in
|
|
any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
|
|
separately received it.
|
|
|
|
<li>If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
|
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
|
|
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
|
|
need not make them do so.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
|
|
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
|
|
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
|
|
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
|
|
“aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
|
|
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
|
|
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
|
|
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
|
|
parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
<li>Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
|
|
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
|
|
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
|
|
ways:
|
|
|
|
<ol type=a start=1>
|
|
<li>Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
|
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
|
|
used for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
<li>Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
|
|
offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
|
|
offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
|
|
anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
|
|
Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
|
|
covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
|
|
for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable
|
|
cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
|
|
to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
|
|
<li>Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
|
|
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
|
|
allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
|
|
received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
|
|
6b.
|
|
|
|
<li>Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
|
|
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
|
|
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
|
|
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
|
|
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be
|
|
on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
|
|
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
|
|
next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
|
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
|
|
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
|
|
satisfy these requirements.
|
|
|
|
<li>Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
|
|
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
|
|
the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
|
|
subsection 6d.
|
|
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
|
|
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
|
|
included in conveying the object code work.
|
|
|
|
<p>A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
|
|
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
|
|
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
|
|
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
|
|
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
|
|
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
|
|
“normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of
|
|
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
|
|
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
|
|
to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
|
|
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
|
|
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
|
|
mode of use of the product.
|
|
|
|
<p>“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
|
|
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
|
|
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
|
|
Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
|
|
information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
|
|
the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
|
|
solely because modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
|
|
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
|
|
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
|
|
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
|
|
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
|
|
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
|
|
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
|
|
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
|
|
been installed in ROM).
|
|
|
|
<p>The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
|
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
|
|
updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
|
|
recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
|
|
installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
|
|
itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
|
|
or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
<p>Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
|
|
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
|
|
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
|
|
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
|
|
unpacking, reading or copying.
|
|
|
|
<li>Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
<p>“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
|
|
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
|
|
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
|
|
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
|
|
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
|
|
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
|
|
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
|
|
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
|
|
|
|
<p>When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
|
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
|
|
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
|
|
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
|
|
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
|
|
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
|
|
|
|
<p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
|
|
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
|
|
of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
|
|
|
|
<ol type=a start=1>
|
|
<li>Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
|
|
of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
<li>Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
|
|
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
|
|
displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
<li>Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
|
|
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
|
|
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
|
|
|
|
<li>Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
|
|
authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
<li>Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
|
|
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
|
|
|
<li>Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
|
|
anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
|
|
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
|
|
liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
|
|
licensors and authors.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
<p>All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
|
|
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
|
|
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
|
|
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
|
|
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
|
|
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
|
|
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
|
|
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
|
|
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
|
|
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
|
|
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
|
|
where to find the applicable terms.
|
|
|
|
<p>Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
|
|
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
|
|
above requirements apply either way.
|
|
|
|
<li>Termination.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
|
|
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
|
|
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
|
|
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
|
|
paragraph of section 11).
|
|
|
|
<p>However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
|
|
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
|
|
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
|
|
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
|
|
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
|
|
60 days after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
<p>Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
|
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
|
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
|
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
|
|
your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
<p>Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
|
|
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
|
|
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
|
|
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
|
|
material under section 10.
|
|
|
|
<li>Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
|
|
<p>You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
|
|
a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
|
|
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
|
|
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
|
|
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
|
|
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
|
|
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
|
|
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
|
|
<li>Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
|
|
<p>Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
|
|
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
|
|
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
|
|
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
|
|
|
|
<p>An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
|
|
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
|
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
|
|
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
|
|
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
|
|
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
|
|
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
|
|
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
|
|
|
|
<p>You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
|
|
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
|
|
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
|
|
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
|
|
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
|
|
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
|
|
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
|
|
|
|
<li>Patents.
|
|
|
|
<p>A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
|
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
|
|
work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
|
|
|
|
<p>A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned
|
|
or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
|
|
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
|
|
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
|
|
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
|
|
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
|
|
purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant
|
|
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
|
|
this License.
|
|
|
|
<p>Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
|
|
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
|
|
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
|
|
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
|
|
|
|
<p>In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
|
|
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
|
|
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
|
|
sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a
|
|
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
|
|
patent against the party.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
|
|
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
|
|
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
|
|
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
|
|
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
|
|
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
|
|
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
|
|
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
|
|
license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have
|
|
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
|
|
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
|
|
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
|
|
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
|
|
|
|
<p>If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
|
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
|
|
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
|
|
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
|
|
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
|
|
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
|
|
work and works based on it.
|
|
|
|
<p>A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
|
|
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
|
|
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
|
|
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
|
|
are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
|
|
business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
|
|
third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
|
|
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
|
|
who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
|
|
license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
|
|
you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
|
|
connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
|
|
covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
|
|
license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
<p>Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
|
|
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
|
|
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
|
|
<li>No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
|
|
<p>If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey
|
|
a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
|
|
this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
|
|
consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree
|
|
to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
|
|
from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
|
|
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
|
|
from conveying the Program.
|
|
|
|
<li>Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
|
|
|
<p>Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
|
|
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
|
|
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
|
|
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
|
|
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
|
|
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
|
|
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
|
|
combination as such.
|
|
|
|
<li>Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
|
|
<p>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
|
|
of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new
|
|
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
<p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
|
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public
|
|
License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of
|
|
following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or
|
|
of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
|
|
the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General
|
|
Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
|
|
of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public
|
|
statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to
|
|
choose that version for the Program.
|
|
|
|
<p>Later license versions may give you additional or different
|
|
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
|
|
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
|
|
later version.
|
|
|
|
<li>Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
|
|
|
<p>THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
|
|
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT
|
|
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
|
|
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
|
|
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
|
|
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
|
|
CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
<li>Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|
<p>IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
|
|
CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
|
|
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
|
|
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
|
|
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
|
|
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
|
|
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
<li>Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
|
|
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
|
|
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
|
|
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
|
|
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
|
|
copy of the Program in return for a fee.

|
|
<h3 class="heading">How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
|
|
terms.
|
|
|
|
<p>To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
|
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
|
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
|
the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
|

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
|
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
|
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
|
|
your option) any later version.
|
|
|
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
|
|
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
|
<p>If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|
|
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> <var>program</var> Copyright (C) <var>year</var> <var>name of author</var>
|

This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘<samp><span class="samp">show w</span></samp>’.
|
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
|
under certain conditions; type ‘<samp><span class="samp">show c</span></samp>’ for details.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>The hypothetical commands ‘<samp><span class="samp">show w</span></samp>’ and ‘<samp><span class="samp">show c</span></samp>’ should show
|
|
the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your
|
|
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
|
|
use an “about box”.
|
|
|
|
<p>You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
|
|
if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary.

|
<p>The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your

program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine

library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary

applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use
