GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

2

Version 3, 29 June 2007

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

635

Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

636

637

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify

638

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

639

the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or

640

(at your option) any later version.

641

642

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

643

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

644

MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

645

GNU General Public License for more details.

646

647

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

648

along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

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>

656

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.

666

For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see

667

<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

668

669

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
