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