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