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