16 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
17 Version 3, 29 June 2007
19 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
20 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
21 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
25 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
26 software and other kinds of works.
28 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
29 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
30 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
31 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
32 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
33 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
34 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
37 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
38 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
39 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
40 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
41 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
42 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
44 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
45 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
46 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
47 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
49 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
50 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
51 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
52 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
55 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
56 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
57 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
59 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
60 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
61 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
62 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
63 authors of previous versions.
65 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
66 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
67 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
68 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
69 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
70 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
71 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
72 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
73 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
74 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
76 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
77 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
78 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
79 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
80 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
81 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
83 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
90 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
92 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
93 works, such as semiconductor masks.
95 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
96 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
97 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
99 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
100 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
101 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
102 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
104 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
107 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
108 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
109 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
110 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
111 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
112 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
114 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
115 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
116 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
118 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
119 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
120 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
121 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
122 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
123 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
124 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
125 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
129 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
130 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
133 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
134 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
135 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
136 is widely used among developers working in that language.
138 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
139 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
140 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
141 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
142 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
143 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
144 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
145 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
146 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
147 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
149 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
150 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
151 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
152 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
153 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
154 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
155 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
156 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
157 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
158 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
159 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
160 subprograms and other parts of the work.
162 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
163 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
166 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
169 2. Basic Permissions.
171 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
172 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
173 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
174 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
175 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
176 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
177 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
179 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
180 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
181 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
182 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
183 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
184 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
185 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
186 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
187 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
188 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
190 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
191 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
192 makes it unnecessary.
194 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
196 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
197 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
198 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
199 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
202 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
203 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
204 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
205 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
206 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
207 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
208 technological measures.
210 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
212 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
213 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
214 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
215 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
216 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
217 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
218 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
220 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
221 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
223 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
225 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
226 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
227 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
229 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
230 it, and giving a relevant date.
232 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
233 released under this License and any conditions added under section
234 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
235 "keep intact all notices".
237 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
238 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
239 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
240 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
241 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
242 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
243 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
245 d) 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
248 work need not make them do so.
250 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
251 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
252 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
253 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
254 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
255 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
256 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
257 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
258 parts of the aggregate.
260 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
262 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
263 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
264 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
265 in one of these ways:
267 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
268 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
269 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
270 customarily used for software interchange.
272 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
273 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
274 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
275 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
276 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
277 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
278 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
279 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
280 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
281 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
282 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
284 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
285 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
286 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
287 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
290 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
291 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
292 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
293 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
294 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
295 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
296 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
297 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
298 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
299 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
300 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
301 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
303 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
304 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
305 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
306 charge under subsection 6d.
308 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
309 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
310 included in conveying the object code work.
312 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
313 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
314 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
315 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
316 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
317 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
318 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
319 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
320 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
321 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
322 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
323 the only significant mode of use of the product.
325 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
326 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
327 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
328 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
329 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
330 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
331 modification has been made.
333 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
334 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
335 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
336 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
337 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
338 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
339 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
340 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
341 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
342 been installed in ROM).
344 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
345 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
346 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
347 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
348 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
349 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
350 protocols for communication across the network.
352 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
353 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
354 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
355 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
356 unpacking, reading or copying.
360 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
361 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
362 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
363 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
364 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
365 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
366 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
367 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
369 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
370 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
371 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
372 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
373 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
374 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
376 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
377 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
378 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
380 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
381 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
383 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
384 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
385 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
387 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
388 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
389 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
391 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
392 authors of the material; or
394 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
395 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
397 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
398 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
399 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
400 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
401 those licensors and authors.
403 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
404 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
405 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
406 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
407 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
408 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
409 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
410 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
411 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
413 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
414 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
415 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
416 where to find the applicable terms.
418 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
419 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
420 the above requirements apply either way.
424 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
425 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
426 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
427 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
428 paragraph of section 11).
430 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
431 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
432 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
433 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
434 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
435 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
437 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
438 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
439 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
440 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
441 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
442 your receipt of the notice.
444 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
445 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
446 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
447 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
448 material under section 10.
450 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
452 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
453 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
454 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
455 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
456 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
457 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
458 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
459 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
461 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
463 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
464 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
465 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
466 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
468 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
469 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
470 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
471 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
472 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
473 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
474 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
475 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
476 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
478 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
479 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
480 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
481 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
482 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
483 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
484 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
488 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
489 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
490 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
492 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
493 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
494 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
495 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
496 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
497 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
498 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
499 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
502 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
503 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
504 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
505 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
507 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
508 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
509 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
510 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
511 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
512 patent against the party.
514 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
515 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
516 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
517 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
518 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
519 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
520 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
521 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
522 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
523 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
524 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
525 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
526 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
528 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
529 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
530 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
531 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
532 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
533 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
534 work and works based on it.
536 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
537 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
538 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
539 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
540 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
541 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
542 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
543 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
544 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
545 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
546 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
547 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
548 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
549 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
551 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
552 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
553 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
555 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
557 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
558 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
559 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
560 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
561 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
562 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
563 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
564 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
565 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
567 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
569 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
570 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
571 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
572 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
573 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
574 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
575 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
578 14. Revised Versions of this License.
580 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
581 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
582 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
583 address new problems or concerns.
585 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
586 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
587 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
588 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
589 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
590 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
591 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
592 by the Free Software Foundation.
594 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
595 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
596 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
597 to choose that version for the Program.
599 Later license versions may give you additional or different
600 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
601 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
604 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
606 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
607 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
608 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
609 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
610 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
611 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
612 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
613 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
615 16. Limitation of Liability.
617 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
618 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
619 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
620 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
621 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
622 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
623 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
624 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
627 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
629 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
630 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
631 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
632 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
633 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
634 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
636 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
638 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
640 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
641 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
642 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
644 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
645 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
646 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
647 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
649 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
650 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
652 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
653 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
654 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
655 (at your option) any later version.
657 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
658 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
659 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
660 GNU General Public License for more details.
662 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
663 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
665 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
667 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
668 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
670 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
671 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
672 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
673 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
675 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
676 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
677 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
679 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
680 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
681 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
682 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
684 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
685 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
686 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
687 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
688 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
689 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
