Version 3, 29 June 2007 |

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
|
5 |
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
6 |
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
|

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

636 |
||
637 |

|

it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

640 |

|

|
|
645 |
GNU General Public License for more details.
|
|
646 |
||
647 |
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
|
648 |

649 |
||
650 |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
651 |
||
652 |
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|
|
653 |
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
654 |
||
655 |
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
|
657 |
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
|
658 |
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
659 |
||
660 |
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
661 |
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands |
|
662 |
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". |
|
663 |
||
664 |
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
|
665 |
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. |
|

The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program |
|
670 |
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you |
|
671 |
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with |
|
672 |
the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
|
673 |
Public License instead of this License. But first, please read |
