GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 19 November 2007

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