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