@unnumberedsec Preamble
16
17
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
18
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
19
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
20
software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
21
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
22
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
23
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
24
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
25
your programs, too.
26
27
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
14
@heading Preamble
15
16
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
17
software and other kinds of works.
18
19
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
20
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
21
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom
22
to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains
23
free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
24
use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
25
applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You
26
can apply it to your programs, too.
27
28
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
28
29
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
29
30
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
30
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
31
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
32
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
33
34
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
35
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
36
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
37
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
38
39
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
40
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
41
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
42
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
43
rights.
44
45
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
46
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
47
distribute and/or modify the software.
48
49
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
50
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
51
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
52
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
53
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
54
authors' reputations.
55
56
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
57
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
58
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
59
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
60
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
61
62
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
31
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
32
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
33
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
34
35
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
36
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you
37
have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
38
software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom
39
of others.
40
41
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
42
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
43
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too,
44
receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
45
terms so they know their rights.
46
47
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
48
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
49
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
50
51
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
52
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
53
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
54
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
55
authors of previous versions.
56
57
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
58
modified versions of the software inside them, although the
59
manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the
60
aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
61
systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for
62
individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
63
Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
64
practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in
65
other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those
66
domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the
67
freedom of users.
68
69
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
70
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
71
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish
72
to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program
73
could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
74
assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
75
76
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
63
77
modification follow.

@enumerate 0
73
@item
74
This License applies to any program or other work which contains
75
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
76
under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below,
77
refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
78
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
79
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
80
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
81
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
82
the term ``modification''.) Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
83
84
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
85
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
86
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
87
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
88
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
89
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
90
91
@item
92
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
93
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
94
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
95
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
96
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
97
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
98
along with the Program.
99
100
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
101
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
102
103
@item
104
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
105
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
106
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
107
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
108
109
@enumerate a
110
@item
111
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
112
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
113
114
@item
115
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
116
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
117
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
118
parties under the terms of this License.
119
120
@item
121
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
122
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
123
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
124
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
125
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
126
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
127
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
128
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
129
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
130
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
131
@end enumerate
132
133
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
134
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
135
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
136
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
137
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
138
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
139
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
140
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
141
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
142
143
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
144
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
145
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
146
collective works based on the Program.
147
148
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
149
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
150
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
151
the scope of this License.
152
153
@item
154
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
155
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
156
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
157
158
@enumerate a
159
@item
160
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
161
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
162
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
163
164
@item
165
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
166
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
167
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
168
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
169
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
170
customarily used for software interchange; or,
171
172
@item
173
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
174
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
175
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
176
received the program in object code or executable form with such
177
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
178
@end enumerate
179
180
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
181
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
182
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
183
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
184
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
185
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
186
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
187
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
188
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
189
itself accompanies the executable.
190
191
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
192
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
193
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
194
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
195
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
196
197
@item
198
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
199
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
200
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
201
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
202
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
203
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
204
parties remain in full compliance.
205
206
@item
207
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
208
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
209
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
210
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
211
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
212
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
213
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
214
the Program or works based on it.
215
216
@item
217
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
218
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
219
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
220
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
221
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
222
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
82
@item Definitions.
83
84
``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
85
86
``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
87
of works, such as semiconductor masks.
88
89
``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
90
License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and
91
``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations.
92
93
To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
94
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
95
an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of
96
the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work.
97
98
A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based
99
on the Program.
100
101
To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without
102
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
103
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
104
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
105
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
106
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
107
108
To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
109
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
110
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
111
conveying.
112
113
An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to
114
the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
115
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
116
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
117
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
118
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
119
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
120
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
121
122
@item Source Code.
123
124
The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for
125
making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form
126
of a work.
127
128
A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official
129
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
130
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
131
is widely used among developers working in that language.
132
133
The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other
134
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
135
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
136
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
137
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
138
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
139
``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component
140
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
141
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
142
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
143
144
The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all
145
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
146
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
147
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
148
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
149
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
150
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
151
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
152
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
153
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
154
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
155
subprograms and other parts of the work.
156
157
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
158
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
159
160
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
161
work.
162
163
@item Basic Permissions.
164
165
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
166
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
167
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
168
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
169
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
170
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
171
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
172
173
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
174
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
175
You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
176
them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
177
facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
178
terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
179
control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
180
you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
181
control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
182
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
183
184
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
185
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
186
makes it unnecessary.
187
188
@item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
189
190
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
191
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
192
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
193
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
194
measures.
195
196
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
197
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
198
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
199
respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
200
operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
201
the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
202
circumvention of technological measures.
203
204
@item Conveying Verbatim Copies.
205
206
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
207
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
208
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
209
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
210
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
211
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
212
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
213
214
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
215
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
216
217
@item Conveying Modified Source Versions.
218
219
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
220
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
221
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
222
conditions:
223
224
@enumerate a
225
@item
226
The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
227
and giving a relevant date.
228
229
@item
230
The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
231
under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
232
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all
233
notices''.
234
235
@item
236
You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
237
anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will
238
therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms,
239
to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they
240
are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in
241
any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
242
separately received it.
243
244
@item
245
If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
246
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
247
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
248
need not make them do so.
249
@end enumerate
250
251
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
252
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
253
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
254
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
255
``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
256
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
257
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
258
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
259

@item Conveying Non-Source Forms.
262
263
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
264
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
265
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
266
ways:
267
268
@enumerate a
269
@item
270
Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
271
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
272
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
273
used for software interchange.
274
275
@item
276
Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
277
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
278
offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
279
offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
280
anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
281
Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
282
covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
283
for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable
284
cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
285
to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
286
287
@item
288
Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
289
offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
290
allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
291
received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
292
6b.
293
294
@item
295
Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
296
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
297
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
298
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
299
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy
300
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be
301
on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
302
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
303
next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
304
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
305
obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
306
satisfy these requirements.
307
308
@item
309
Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
310
inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
311
the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
312
subsection 6d.
313
314
@end enumerate
315
316
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
317
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
318
included in conveying the object code work.
319
320
A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any
321
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
322
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
323
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
324
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
325
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
326
``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of
327
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
328
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
329
to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
330
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
331
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
332
mode of use of the product.
333
334
``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods,
335
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
336
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
337
Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
338
information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
339
the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
340
solely because modification has been made.
341
342
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
343
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
344
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
345
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
346
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
347
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
348
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
349
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
350
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
351
been installed in ROM).
352
353
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
354
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
355
updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
356
recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
357
installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
358
itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
359
or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
360
network.
361
362
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
363
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
364
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
365
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
366
unpacking, reading or copying.
367
368
@item Additional Terms.
369
370
``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this
371
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
372
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
373
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
374
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
375
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
376
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
377
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
378
379
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
380
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
381
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
382
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
383
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
384
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
385
386
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
387
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
388
of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
389
390
@enumerate a
391
@item
392
Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
393
of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
394
395
@item
396
Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
397
attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
398
displayed by works containing it; or
399
400
@item
401
Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
402
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
403
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
404
405
@item
406
Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
407
authors of the material; or
408
409
@item
410
Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
411
names, trademarks, or service marks; or
412
413
@item
414
Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
415
anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
416
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
417
liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those
418
licensors and authors.
419
@end enumerate
420
421
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further
422
restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
423
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
424
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
425
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
426
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
427
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
428
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
429
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
430
431
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
432
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
433
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
434
where to find the applicable terms.
435
436
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
437
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
438
above requirements apply either way.
439
440
@item Termination.
441
442
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
443
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
444
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
445
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
446
paragraph of section 11).
447
448
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
449
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
450
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
451
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
452
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
453
60 days after the cessation.
454
455
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
456
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
457
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
458
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
459
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
460
your receipt of the notice.
461
462
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
463
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
464
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
465
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
466
material under section 10.
467
468
@item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
469
470
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
471
a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
472
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
473
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
474
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
475
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
476
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
477
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
478
479
@item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
480
481
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
482
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
483
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
484
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
485
486
An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an
487
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
488
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
489
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
490
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
491
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
492
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
493
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
494
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
495
496
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
497
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
498
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
499
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
500
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
501
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
502
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
503
504
@item Patents.
505
506
A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
507
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
508
work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''.
509
510
A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned
511
or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
512
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
513
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
514
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
515
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
516
purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant
517
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
223
518
this License.
224
519
225
@item
226
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
227
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
228
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
520
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
521
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
522
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
523
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
524
525
In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express
526
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
527
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
528
sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a
529
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
530
patent against the party.
531
532
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
533
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
534
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
535
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
536
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
537
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
538
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
539
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
540
license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have
541
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
542
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
543
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
544
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
545
546
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
547
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
548
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
549
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
550
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
551
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
552
work and works based on it.
553
554
A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the
555
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
556
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
557
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
558
are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
559
business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
560
third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
561
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
562
who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
563
license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
564
you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
565
connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
566
covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
567
license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
568
569
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
570
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
571
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
572
573
@item No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
574
575
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
229
576
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
230
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
231
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
232
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
233
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
234
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
235
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
236
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
237
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
238
239
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
240
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
241
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
242
circumstances.
243
244
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
245
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
246
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
247
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
248
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
249
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
250
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
251
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
252
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
253
impose that choice.
254
255
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
256
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
257
258
@item
259
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
260
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
261
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
262
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
263
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
264
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
265
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
266
267
@item
577
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey
578
a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
579
this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
580
consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree
581
to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
582
from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
583
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
584
from conveying the Program.
585
586
@item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
587
588
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
589
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
590
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
591
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
592
