amine@2 1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
amine@2 2 Version 3, 29 June 2007
amine@2 3
amine@2 4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
amine@2 5 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
amine@2 6 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
amine@2 7
amine@2 8 Preamble
amine@2 9
amine@2 10 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
amine@2 11 software and other kinds of works.
amine@2 12
amine@2 13 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
amine@2 14 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
amine@2 15 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
amine@2 16 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
amine@2 17 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
amine@2 18 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
amine@2 19 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
amine@2 20 your programs, too.
amine@2 21
amine@2 22 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
amine@2 23 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
amine@2 24 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
amine@2 25 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
amine@2 26 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
amine@2 27 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
amine@2 28
amine@2 29 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
amine@2 30 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
amine@2 31 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
amine@2 32 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
amine@2 33
amine@2 34 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
amine@2 35 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
amine@2 36 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
amine@2 37 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
amine@2 38 know their rights.
amine@2 39
amine@2 40 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
amine@2 41 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
amine@2 42 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
amine@2 43
amine@2 44 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
amine@2 45 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
amine@2 46 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
amine@2 47 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
amine@2 48 authors of previous versions.
amine@2 49
amine@2 50 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
amine@2 51 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
amine@2 52 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
amine@2 53 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
amine@2 54 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
amine@2 55 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
amine@2 56 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
amine@2 57 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
amine@2 58 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
amine@2 59 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
amine@2 60
amine@2 61 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
amine@2 62 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
amine@2 63 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
amine@2 64 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
amine@2 65 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
amine@2 66 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
amine@2 67
amine@2 68 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
amine@2 69 modification follow.
amine@2 70
amine@2 71 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
amine@2 72
amine@2 73 0. Definitions.
amine@2 74
amine@2 75 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
amine@2 76
amine@2 77 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
amine@2 78 works, such as semiconductor masks.
amine@2 79
amine@2 80 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
amine@2 81 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
amine@2 82 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
amine@2 83
amine@2 84 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
amine@2 85 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
amine@2 86 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
amine@2 87 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
amine@2 88
amine@2 89 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
amine@2 90 on the Program.
amine@2 91
amine@2 92 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
amine@2 93 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
amine@2 94 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
amine@2 95 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
amine@2 96 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
amine@2 97 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
amine@2 98
amine@2 99 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
amine@2 100 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
amine@2 101 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
amine@2 102
amine@2 103 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
amine@2 104 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
amine@2 105 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
amine@2 106 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
amine@2 107 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
amine@2 108 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
amine@2 109 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
amine@2 110 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
amine@2 111
amine@2 112 1. Source Code.
amine@2 113
amine@2 114 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
amine@2 115 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
amine@2 116 form of a work.
amine@2 117
amine@2 118 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
amine@2 119 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
amine@2 120 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
amine@2 121 is widely used among developers working in that language.
amine@2 122
amine@2 123 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
amine@2 124 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
amine@2 125 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
amine@2 126 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
amine@2 127 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
amine@2 128 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
amine@2 129 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
amine@2 130 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
amine@2 131 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
amine@2 132 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
amine@2 133
amine@2 134 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
amine@2 135 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
amine@2 136 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
amine@2 137 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
amine@2 138 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
amine@2 139 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
amine@2 140 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
amine@2 141 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
amine@2 142 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
amine@2 143 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
amine@2 144 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
amine@2 145 subprograms and other parts of the work.
amine@2 146
amine@2 147 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
amine@2 148 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
amine@2 149 Source.
amine@2 150
amine@2 151 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
amine@2 152 same work.
amine@2 153
amine@2 154 2. Basic Permissions.
amine@2 155
amine@2 156 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
amine@2 157 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
amine@2 158 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
amine@2 159 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
amine@2 160 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
amine@2 161 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
amine@2 162 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
amine@2 163
amine@2 164 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
amine@2 165 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
amine@2 166 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
amine@2 167 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
amine@2 168 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
amine@2 169 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
amine@2 170 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
amine@2 171 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
amine@2 172 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
amine@2 173 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
amine@2 174
amine@2 175 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
amine@2 176 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
amine@2 177 makes it unnecessary.
amine@2 178
amine@2 179 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
amine@2 180
amine@2 181 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
amine@2 182 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
amine@2 183 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
amine@2 184 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
amine@2 185 measures.
amine@2 186
amine@2 187 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
amine@2 188 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
amine@2 189 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
amine@2 190 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
amine@2 191 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
amine@2 192 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
amine@2 193 technological measures.
amine@2 194
amine@2 195 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
amine@2 196
amine@2 197 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
amine@2 198 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
amine@2 199 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
amine@2 200 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
amine@2 201 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
amine@2 202 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
amine@2 203 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
amine@2 204
amine@2 205 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
amine@2 206 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
amine@2 207
amine@2 208 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
amine@2 209
amine@2 210 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
amine@2 211 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
amine@2 212 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
amine@2 213
amine@2 214 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
amine@2 215 it, and giving a relevant date.
amine@2 216
amine@2 217 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
amine@2 218 released under this License and any conditions added under section
amine@2 219 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
amine@2 220 "keep intact all notices".
amine@2 221
amine@2 222 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
amine@2 223 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
amine@2 224 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
amine@2 225 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
amine@2 226 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
amine@2 227 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
amine@2 228 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
amine@2 229
amine@2 230 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
amine@2 231 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
amine@2 232 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
amine@2 233 work need not make them do so.
amine@2 234
amine@2 235 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
amine@2 236 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
amine@2 237 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
amine@2 238 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
amine@2 239 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
amine@2 240 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
amine@2 241 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
amine@2 242 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
amine@2 243 parts of the aggregate.
amine@2 244
amine@2 245 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
amine@2 246
amine@2 247 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
amine@2 248 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
amine@2 249 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
amine@2 250 in one of these ways:
amine@2 251
amine@2 252 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
amine@2 253 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
amine@2 254 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
amine@2 255 customarily used for software interchange.
amine@2 256
amine@2 257 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
amine@2 258 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
amine@2 259 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
amine@2 260 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
amine@2 261 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
amine@2 262 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
amine@2 263 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
amine@2 264 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
amine@2 265 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
amine@2 266 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
amine@2 267 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
amine@2 268
amine@2 269 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
amine@2 270 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
amine@2 271 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
amine@2 272 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
amine@2 273 with subsection 6b.
amine@2 274
amine@2 275 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
amine@2 276 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
amine@2 277 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
amine@2 278 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
amine@2 279 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
amine@2 280 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
amine@2 281 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
amine@2 282 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
amine@2 283 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
amine@2 284 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
amine@2 285 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
amine@2 286 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
amine@2 287
amine@2 288 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
amine@2 289 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
amine@2 290 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
amine@2 291 charge under subsection 6d.
amine@2 292
amine@2 293 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
amine@2 294 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
amine@2 295 included in conveying the object code work.
amine@2 296
amine@2 297 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
amine@2 298 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
amine@2 299 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
amine@2 300 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
amine@2 301 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
amine@2 302 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
amine@2 303 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
amine@2 304 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
amine@2 305 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
amine@2 306 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
amine@2 307 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
amine@2 308 the only significant mode of use of the product.
amine@2 309
amine@2 310 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
amine@2 311 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
amine@2 312 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
amine@2 313 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
amine@2 314 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
amine@2 315 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
amine@2 316 modification has been made.
amine@2 317
amine@2 318 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
amine@2 319 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
amine@2 320 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
amine@2 321 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
amine@2 322 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
amine@2 323 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
amine@2 324 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
amine@2 325 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
amine@2 326 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
amine@2 327 been installed in ROM).
amine@2 328
amine@2 329 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
amine@2 330 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
amine@2 331 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
amine@2 332 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
amine@2 333 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
amine@2 334 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
amine@2 335 protocols for communication across the network.
amine@2 336
amine@2 337 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
amine@2 338 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
amine@2 339 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
amine@2 340 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
amine@2 341 unpacking, reading or copying.
amine@2 342
amine@2 343 7. Additional Terms.
amine@2 344
amine@2 345 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
amine@2 346 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
amine@2 347 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
amine@2 348 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
amine@2 349 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
amine@2 350 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
amine@2 351 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
amine@2 352 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
amine@2 353
amine@2 354 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
amine@2 355 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
amine@2 356 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
amine@2 357 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
amine@2 358 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
amine@2 359 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
amine@2 360
amine@2 361 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
amine@2 362 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
amine@2 363 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
amine@2 364
amine@2 365 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
amine@2 366 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
amine@2 367
amine@2 368 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
amine@2 369 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
amine@2 370 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
amine@2 371
amine@2 372 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
amine@2 373 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
amine@2 374 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
amine@2 375
amine@2 376 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
amine@2 377 authors of the material; or
amine@2 378
amine@2 379 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
amine@2 380 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
amine@2 381
amine@2 382 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
amine@2 383 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
amine@2 384 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
amine@2 385 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
amine@2 386 those licensors and authors.
amine@2 387
amine@2 388 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
amine@2 389 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
amine@2 390 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
amine@2 391 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
amine@2 392 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
amine@2 393 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
amine@2 394 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
amine@2 395 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
amine@2 396 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
amine@2 397
amine@2 398 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
amine@2 399 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
amine@2 400 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
amine@2 401 where to find the applicable terms.
amine@2 402
amine@2 403 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
amine@2 404 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
amine@2 405 the above requirements apply either way.
amine@2 406
amine@2 407 8. Termination.
amine@2 408
amine@2 409 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
amine@2 410 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
amine@2 411 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
amine@2 412 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
amine@2 413 paragraph of section 11).
amine@2 414
amine@2 415 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
amine@2 416 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
amine@2 417 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
amine@2 418 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
amine@2 419 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
amine@2 420 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
amine@2 421
amine@2 422 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
amine@2 423 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
amine@2 424 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
amine@2 425 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
amine@2 426 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
amine@2 427 your receipt of the notice.
amine@2 428
amine@2 429 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
amine@2 430 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
amine@2 431 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
amine@2 432 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
amine@2 433 material under section 10.
amine@2 434
amine@2 435 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
amine@2 436
amine@2 437 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
amine@2 438 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
amine@2 439 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
amine@2 440 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
amine@2 441 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
amine@2 442 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
amine@2 443 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
amine@2 444 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
amine@2 445
amine@2 446 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
amine@2 447
amine@2 448 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
amine@2 449 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
amine@2 450 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
amine@2 451 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
amine@2 452
amine@2 453 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
amine@2 454 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
amine@2 455 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
amine@2 456 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
amine@2 457 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
amine@2 458 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
amine@2 459 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
amine@2 460 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
amine@2 461 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
amine@2 462
amine@2 463 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
amine@2 464 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
amine@2 465 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
amine@2 466 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
amine@2 467 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
amine@2 468 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
amine@2 469 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
amine@2 470
amine@2 471 11. Patents.
amine@2 472
amine@2 473 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
amine@2 474 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
amine@2 475 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
amine@2 476
amine@2 477 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
amine@2 478 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
amine@2 479 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
amine@2 480 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
amine@2 481 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
amine@2 482 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
amine@2 483 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
amine@2 484 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
amine@2 485 this License.
amine@2 486
amine@2 487 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
amine@2 488 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
amine@2 489 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
amine@2 490 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
amine@2 491
amine@2 492 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
amine@2 493 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
amine@2 494 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
amine@2 495 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
amine@2 496 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
amine@2 497 patent against the party.
amine@2 498
amine@2 499 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
amine@2 500 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
amine@2 501 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
amine@2 502 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
amine@2 503 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
amine@2 504 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
amine@2 505 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
amine@2 506 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
amine@2 507 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
amine@2 508 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
amine@2 509 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
amine@2 510 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
amine@2 511 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
amine@2 512
amine@2 513 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
amine@2 514 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
amine@2 515 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
amine@2 516 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
amine@2 517 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
amine@2 518 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
amine@2 519 work and works based on it.
amine@2 520
amine@2 521 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
amine@2 522 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
amine@2 523 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
amine@2 524 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
amine@2 525 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
amine@2 526 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
amine@2 527 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
amine@2 528 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
amine@2 529 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
amine@2 530 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
amine@2 531 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
amine@2 532 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
amine@2 533 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
amine@2 534 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
amine@2 535
amine@2 536 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
amine@2 537 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
amine@2 538 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
amine@2 539
amine@2 540 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
amine@2 541
amine@2 542 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
amine@2 543 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
amine@2 544 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
amine@2 545 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
amine@2 546 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
amine@2 547 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
amine@2 548 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
amine@2 549 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
amine@2 550 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
amine@2 551
amine@2 552 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
amine@2 553
amine@2 554 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
amine@2 555 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
amine@2 556 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
amine@2 557 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
amine@2 558 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
amine@2 559 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
amine@2 560 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
amine@2 561 combination as such.
amine@2 562
amine@2 563 14. Revised Versions of this License.
amine@2 564
amine@2 565 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
amine@2 566 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
amine@2 567 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
amine@2 568 address new problems or concerns.
amine@2 569
amine@2 570 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
amine@2 571 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
amine@2 572 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
amine@2 573 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
amine@2 574 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
amine@2 575 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
amine@2 576 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
amine@2 577 by the Free Software Foundation.
amine@2 578
amine@2 579 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
amine@2 580 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
amine@2 581 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
amine@2 582 to choose that version for the Program.
amine@2 583
amine@2 584 Later license versions may give you additional or different
amine@2 585 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
amine@2 586 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
amine@2 587 later version.
amine@2 588
amine@2 589 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
amine@2 590
amine@2 591 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
amine@2 592 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
amine@2 593 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
amine@2 594 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
amine@2 595 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
amine@2 596 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
amine@2 597 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
amine@2 598 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
amine@2 599
amine@2 600 16. Limitation of Liability.
amine@2 601
amine@2 602 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
amine@2 603 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
amine@2 604 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
amine@2 605 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
amine@2 606 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
amine@2 607 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
amine@2 608 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
amine@2 609 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
amine@2 610 SUCH DAMAGES.
amine@2 611
amine@2 612 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
amine@2 613
amine@2 614 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
amine@2 615 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
amine@2 616 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
amine@2 617 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
amine@2 618 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
amine@2 619 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
amine@2 620
amine@2 621 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
amine@2 622
amine@2 623 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
amine@2 624
amine@2 625 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
amine@2 626 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
amine@2 627 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
amine@2 628
amine@2 629 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
amine@2 630 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
amine@2 631 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
amine@2 632 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
amine@2 633
amine@2 634 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
amine@2 635 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
amine@2 636
amine@2 637 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
amine@2 638 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
amine@2 639 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
amine@2 640 (at your option) any later version.
amine@2 641
amine@2 642 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
amine@2 643 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
amine@2 644 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
amine@2 645 GNU General Public License for more details.
amine@2 646
amine@2 647 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
amine@2 648 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
amine@2 649
amine@2 650 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
amine@2 651
amine@2 652 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
amine@2 653 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
amine@2 654
amine@2 655 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
amine@2 656 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
amine@2 657 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
amine@2 658 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
amine@2 659
amine@2 660 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
amine@2 661 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
amine@2 662 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
amine@2 663
amine@2 664 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
amine@2 665 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
amine@2 666 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
amine@2 667 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
amine@2 668
amine@2 669 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
amine@2 670 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
amine@2 671 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
amine@2 672 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
amine@2 673 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
amine@2 674 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
