Version 3, 29 June 2007
6762
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. `http://fsf.org/'
6764
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
6765
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
6770
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
6771
and other kinds of works.
6773
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
6774
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
6775
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
6776
share and change all versions of a program-to make sure it remains free
6777
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
6778
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
6779
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
6782
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
6783
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
6784
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
6785
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
6786
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
6787
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
6789
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
6790
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you
6791
have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software,
6792
or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
6794
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
6795
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
6796
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
6797
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
6800
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
6801
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
6802
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
6804
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
6805
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
6806
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
6807
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
6808
authors of previous versions.
6810
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
6811
modified versions of the software inside them, although the
6812
manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the
6813
aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
6814
systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
6815
individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
6816
Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
6817
practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in
6818
other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains
6819
in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
6822
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
6823
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
6824
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
6825
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
6826
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
6827
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
6829
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
6830
modification follow.
6832
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6835
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public
6838
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
6839
kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
6841
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
6842
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
6843
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
6845
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
6846
work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
6847
making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified
6848
version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
6850
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work
6851
based on the Program.
6853
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
6854
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
6855
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
6856
on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
6857
copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
6858
available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
6861
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
6862
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
6863
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
6866
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
6867
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
6868
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
6869
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to
6870
the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may
6871
convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
6872
License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or
6873
options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this
6878
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
6879
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any
6880
non-source form of a work.
6882
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an
6883
official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in
6884
the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
6885
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
6888
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything,
6889
other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal
6890
form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that
6891
Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work
6892
with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface
6893
for which an implementation is available to the public in source
6894
code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major
6895
essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
6896
specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work
6897
runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
6898
interpreter used to run it.
6900
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
6901
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
6902
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including
6903
scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include
6904
the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally
6905
available free programs which are used unmodified in performing
6906
those activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
6907
Corresponding Source includes interface definition files
6908
associated with source files for the work, and the source code for
6909
shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work
6910
is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
6911
communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
6914
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
6915
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
6918
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
6921
2. Basic Permissions.
6923
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
6924
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
6925
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
6926
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running
6927
a covered work is covered by this License only if the output,
6928
given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
6929
acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as
6930
provided by copyright law.
6932
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
6933
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise
6934
remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the
6935
sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for
6936
you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
6937
provided that you comply with the terms of this License in
6938
conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.
6939
Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so
6940
exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on
6941
terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
6942
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
6944
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
6945
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section
6946
10 makes it unnecessary.
6948
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
6950
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
6951
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
6952
article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December
6953
1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
6956
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
6957
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
6958
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
6959
with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention
6960
to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of
6961
enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal
6962
rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
6964
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
6966
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
6967
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
6968
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
6969
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
6970
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
6971
code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
6972
give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
6974
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
6975
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
6977
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
6979
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
6980
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
6981
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
6984
a. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you
6985
modified it, and giving a relevant date.
6987
b. The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
6988
released under this License and any conditions added under
6989
section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in
6990
section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
6992
c. You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
6993
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
6994
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable
6995
section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all
6996
its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License
6997
gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but
6998
it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately
7001
d. If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
7002
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has
7003
interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
7004
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
7006
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
7007
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered
7008
work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
7009
program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is
7010
called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting
7011
copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
7012
compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
7013
Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
7014
License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
7016
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
7018
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
7019
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
7020
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
7021
License, in one of these ways:
7023
a. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
7024
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
7025
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
7026
customarily used for software interchange.
7028
b. Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
7029
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
7030
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for
7031
as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that
7032
product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code
7033
either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
7034
software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
7035
durable physical medium customarily used for software
7036
interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
7037
physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
7038
to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
7041
c. Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of
7042
the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
7043
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,
7044
and only if you received the object code with such an offer,
7045
in accord with subsection 6b.
7047
d. Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
7048
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access
7049
to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same
7050
place at no further charge. You need not require recipients
7051
to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code.
7052
If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
7053
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated
7054
by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
7055
facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to
7056
the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
7057
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
7058
remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long
7059
as needed to satisfy these requirements.
7061
e. Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
7062
provided you inform other peers where the object code and
7063
Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the
7064
general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
7067
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
7068
excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need
7069
not be included in conveying the object code work.
7071
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means
7072
any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
7073
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
7074
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product
7075
is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
7076
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
7077
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
7078
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
7079
way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
7080
expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product
7081
regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
7082
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
7083
only significant mode of use of the product.
7085
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
7086
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
7087
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
7088
User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.
7089
The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
7090
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
7091
interfered with solely because modification has been made.
7093
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with,
7094
or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying
7095
occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
7096
and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
7097
perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction
7098
is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
7099
section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But
7100
this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
7101
retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
7102
Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
7104
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not
7105
include a requirement to continue to provide support service,
7106
warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or
7107
installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it
7108
has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied
7109
when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
7110
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
7111
communication across the network.
7113
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
7114
provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
7115
publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
7116
public in source code form), and must require no special password
7117
or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
7119
7. Additional Terms.
7121
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of
7122
this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
7123
conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the
7124
entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in
7125
this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
7126
law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
7127
that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
7128
entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to
7129
the additional permissions.
7131
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
7132
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
7133
of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
7134
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
7135
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
7136
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
7138
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material
7139
you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
7140
holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License
7143
a. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from
7144
the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
7146
b. Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
7147
or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
7148
Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
7150
c. Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
7151
or requiring that modified versions of such material be
7152
marked in reasonable ways as different from the original
7155
d. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
7156
or authors of the material; or
7158
e. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
7159
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
7161
f. Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
7162
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified
7163
versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
7164
the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
7165
assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
7167
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
7168
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as
7169
you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
7170
it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
7171
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document
7172
contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or
7173
conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work
7174
material governed by the terms of that license document, provided
7175
that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or
7178
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
7179
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
7180
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
7181
where to find the applicable terms.
7183
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in
7184
the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
7185
the above requirements apply either way.
7189
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
7190
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
7191
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
7192
under this License (including any patent licenses granted under
7193
the third paragraph of section 11).
7195
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
7196
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
7197
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly
7198
and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
7199
copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
7200
reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
7202
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
7203
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
7204
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
7205
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
7206
that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
7207
after your receipt of the notice.
7209
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
7210
the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from
7211
you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and
7212
not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new
7213
licenses for the same material under section 10.
7215
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
7217
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
7218
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
7219
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
7220
transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
7221
acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you
7222
permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions
7223
infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore,
7224
by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
7225
acceptance of this License to do so.
7227
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
7229
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
7230
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
7231
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
7232
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
7235
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
7236
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
7237
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a
7238
covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
7239
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
7240
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
7241
could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
7242
possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the
7243
predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it
7244
with reasonable efforts.
7246
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
7247
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you
7248
may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for
7249
exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
7250
initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
7251
lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making,
7252
using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
7257
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
7258
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.
7259
The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor
7262
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
7263
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
7264
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
7265
permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
7266
contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
7267
infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
7268
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control"
7269
includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
7270
consistent with the requirements of this License.
7272
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
7273
royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
7274
patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
7275
otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its
7276
contributor version.
7278
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any
7279
express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to
7280
enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
7281
patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To
7282
"grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an
7283
agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
7285
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent
7286
license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available
7287
for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
7288
License, through a publicly available network server or other
7289
readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
7290
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
7291
yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular
7292
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements
7293
of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
7294
recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge
7295
that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work
7296
in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a
7297
country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
7298
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
7300
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
7301
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
7302
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
7303
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
7304
modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the
7305
patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
7306
recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
7308
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
7309
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
7310
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
7311
are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a
7312
covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third
7313
party that is in the business of distributing software, under
7314
which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of
7315
your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third
7316
party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered
7317
work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
7318
with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made
7319
from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with
7320
specific products or compilations that contain the covered work,
7321
unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
7322
was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
7324
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
7325
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
7326
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
7328
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
7330
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
7331
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
7332
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
7333
License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy
7334
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
7335
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it
7336
at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to
7337
collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you
7338
convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
7339
terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying
7342
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
7344
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
7345
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
7346
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
7347
single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms
7348
of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the
7349
covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
7350
General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through
7351
a network will apply to the combination as such.
7353
14. Revised Versions of this License.
7355
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
7356
versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.
7357
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
7358
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
7361
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
7362
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU
7363
General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you
7364
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
7365
that numbered version or of any later version published by the
7366
Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a
7367
version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose
7368
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
7370
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
7371
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that
7372
proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
7373
authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
7375
Later license versions may give you additional or different
7376
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
7377
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
7380
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
7382
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
7383
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
7384
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
7385
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
7386
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
7387
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
7388
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
7389
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
7390
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
7392
16. Limitation of Liability.
7394
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
7395
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
7396
AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
7397
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
7398
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
7399
THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
7400
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
7401
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
7402
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
7403
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7405
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
7407
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
7408
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
7409
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
7410
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
7411
connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
7412
liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
7416
=============================================
7418
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
7419
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
7420
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
7423
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is
7424
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
7425
effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have
7426
at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
7428
ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
7429

7434
your option) any later version.
7436
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
7437
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

7441
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
7442
along with this program. If not, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.
7444
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
7447
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
7448
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
7450
PROGRAM Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
7451
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
7452
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
7454
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
7455
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your
7456
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
7459
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
7460
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
7461
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
7462
the GNU GPL, see `http://www.gnu.org/licenses/'.
7464
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
7465
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
7466
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
7467
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
7468
GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first,
7469
please read `http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html'.
