GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
|
|
Version 3, 29 June 2007
|
|
|
|
Copyright © 2007
|
|
short
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The GNU General
|
|
Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of
|
|
works.
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to
|
|
take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU
|
|
General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
|
|
all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its
|
|
users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for
|
|
most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its
|
|
authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software,
|
|
we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed
|
|
to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and
|
|
charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
|
|
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
|
|
programs, and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we
|
|
need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender
|
|
the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies
|
|
of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of
|
|
others.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis
|
|
or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you
|
|
received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
|
|
And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
|
|
Developers that
|
|
use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the
|
|
software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy,
|
|
distribute and/or modify it.
|
|
|
|
For the developers' and authors' protection, the
|
|
GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software. For both
|
|
users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
|
|
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of
|
|
previous versions.
|
|
|
|
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or
|
|
run modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can
|
|
do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users'
|
|
freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in
|
|
the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
|
|
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the
|
|
practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other
|
|
domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
|
|
versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
|
|
|
|
Finally, every
|
|
program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow
|
|
patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers,
|
|
but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to
|
|
a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
|
|
assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
|
|
|
The precise
|
|
terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
|
|
|
|
TERMS
|
|
AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
"This License" refers to version 3 of the
|
|
GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that
|
|
apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
"The Program"
|
|
refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is
|
|
addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or
|
|
organizations.
|
|
|
|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of
|
|
the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
|
|
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work
|
|
or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
A "covered work" means either the
|
|
unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
|
|
|
|
To "propagate" a work
|
|
means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or
|
|
secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except
|
|
executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
|
|
copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
|
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
|
|
|
|
To "convey" a work
|
|
means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive
|
|
copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer
|
|
of a copy, is not conveying.
|
|
|
|
An interactive user interface displays
|
|
"Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and
|
|
prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice,
|
|
and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
|
|
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under
|
|
this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a
|
|
list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list
|
|
meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
1. Source Code.
|
|
|
|
The "source code" for a work means
|
|
the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code"
|
|
means any non-source form of a work.
|
|
|
|
A "Standard Interface" means an
|
|
interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards
|
|
body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
|
|
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the
|
|
work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
|
|
Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to
|
|
enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
|
|
Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code
|
|
form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
|
|
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on
|
|
which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an
|
|
object code interpreter used to run it.
|
|
|
|
The "Corresponding Source" for a work
|
|
in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and
|
|
(for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including
|
|
scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
|
|
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs
|
|
which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part
|
|
of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition
|
|
files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
|
|
libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically
|
|
designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow
|
|
between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding
|
|
Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from
|
|
other parts of the Corresponding Source.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work
|
|
in source code form is that same work.
|
|
|
|
2. Basic Permissions.
|
|
|
|
All rights
|
|
granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program,
|
|
and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License
|
|
explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The
|
|
output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output,
|
|
given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
|
|
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
|
|
|
|
You may
|
|
make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions
|
|
so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works
|
|
to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for
|
|
you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you
|
|
comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
|
|
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you
|
|
must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms
|
|
that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
|
|
their relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is
|
|
permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed;
|
|
section 10 makes it unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From
|
|
Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
|
|
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective
|
|
technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
|
|
article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar
|
|
laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
|
|
|
|
When you
|
|
convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
|
|
technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising
|
|
rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any
|
|
intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing,
|
|
against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
|
|
circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
|
|
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in
|
|
any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
|
|
copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this
|
|
License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
|
|
code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
|
|
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
You may charge any
|
|
price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or
|
|
warranty protection for a fee.
|
|
|
|
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
|
|
You
|
|
may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from
|
|
the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided
|
|
that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) The work must carry
|
|
prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this
|
|
License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the
|
|
requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
|
|
|
|
c) You must license
|
|
the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into
|
|
possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any
|
|
applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its
|
|
parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to
|
|
license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if
|
|
you have separately received it.
|
|
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user
|
|
interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program
|
|
has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
|
|
work need not make them do so.
|
|
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other
|
|
separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the
|
|
covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
|
|
program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
|
|
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit
|
|
the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
|
|
works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
|
|
License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
6. Conveying Non-Source
|
|
Forms.
|
|
|
|
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
|
|
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
|
|
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
|
|
physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a
|
|
durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
b)
|
|
Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
|
|
physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least
|
|
three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support
|
|
for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
|
|
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
|
|
covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for
|
|
software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically
|
|
performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding
|
|
Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of
|
|
the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding
|
|
Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
|
|
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with
|
|
subsection 6b.
|
|
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a
|
|
designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge.
|
|
You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the
|
|
object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
|
|
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third
|
|
party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear
|
|
directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
|
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to
|
|
ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these
|
|
requirements.
|
|
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
|
|
provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
|
|
the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection
|
|
6d.
|
|
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
|
|
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in
|
|
conveying the object code work.
|
|
|
|
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer
|
|
product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for
|
|
personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
|
|
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer
|
|
product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
|
|
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or
|
|
common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular
|
|
user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
|
|
expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
|
|
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses,
|
|
unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
|
|
authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified
|
|
versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its
|
|
Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
|
|
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered
|
|
with solely because modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
If you convey an object code
|
|
work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product,
|
|
and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of
|
|
possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
|
|
perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
|
|
characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be
|
|
accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
|
|
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object
|
|
code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
|
|
|
|
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
|
|
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a
|
|
work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User
|
|
Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be
|
|
denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
|
|
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication
|
|
across the network.
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation
|
|
Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
|
|
publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source
|
|
code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
|
|
copying.
|
|
|
|
7. Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
"Additional permissions" are terms that
|
|
supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
|
|
conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program
|
|
shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that
|
|
they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part
|
|
of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
|
|
entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional
|
|
permissions.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
|
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.
|
|
(Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain
|
|
cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on
|
|
material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give
|
|
appropriate copyright permission.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
|
|
License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the
|
|
copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
|
|
terms:
|
|
|
|
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
|
|
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
b) Requiring preservation
|
|
of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or
|
|
in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
c)
|
|
Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that
|
|
modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from
|
|
the original version; or
|
|
|
|
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of
|
|
names of licensors or authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
e) Declining to grant
|
|
rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service
|
|
marks; or
|
|
|
|
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
|
|
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
|
|
contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that
|
|
these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions"
|
|
within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part
|
|
of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a
|
|
term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license
|
|
document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
|
|
under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
|
|
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive
|
|
such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord
|
|
with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of
|
|
the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to
|
|
find the applicable terms.
|
|
|
|
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive,
|
|
may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as
|
|
exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
|
|
|
|
8. Termination.
|
|
|
|
You
|
|
may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under
|
|
this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will
|
|
automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent
|
|
licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
|
|
|
|
However, if you
|
|
cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular
|
|
copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright
|
|
holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if
|
|
the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable
|
|
means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a
|
|
particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder
|
|
notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time
|
|
you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
|
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt
|
|
of the notice.
|
|
|
|
Termination of your rights under this section does not
|
|
terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
|
|
under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
|
|
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material
|
|
under section 10.
|
|
|
|
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
|
|
You are
|
|
not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the
|
|
Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a
|
|
consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does
|
|
not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you
|
|
permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
|
|
copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
|
|
propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do
|
|
so.
|
|
|
|
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
|
|
Each time you
|
|
convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
|
original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this
|
|
License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
|
|
this License.
|
|
|
|
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control
|
|
of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
|
|
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results
|
|
from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of
|
|
the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in
|
|
interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
|
|
possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
|
|
interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted
|
|
or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee,
|
|
royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and
|
|
you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a
|
|
lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling,
|

offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

|
|
Patents.
|
|
|
|
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
|
|
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus
|
|
licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
|
|
|
|
A contributor's
|
|
"essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the
|
|
contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be
|
|
infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling
|
|
its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only
|
|
as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes
|
|
of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a
|
|
manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
|
|
|
|
Each contributor
|
|
grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
|
|
contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import
|
|
and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
|
|
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an
|
|
express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent
|
|
infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an
|
|
agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
|
|
|
|
If you
|
|
convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
|
|
charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network
|
|
server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
|
|
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of
|
|
the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a
|
|
manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
|
|
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual
|
|
knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a
|
|
country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe
|
|
one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe
|
|
are valid.
|
|
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
|
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work,
|
|
and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work
|
|
authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the
|
|
covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
|
|
recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
|
|
|
|
A patent license is
|
|
"discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage,
|
|
prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more
|
|
of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not
|
|
convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party
|
|
that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to
|
|
the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and
|
|
under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the
|
|
covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
|
|
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or
|
|
(b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
|
|
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that
|
|
patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License
|
|
shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses
|
|
to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent
|
|
law.
|
|
|
|
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
|
|
If conditions are imposed on
|
|
you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
|
|
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
|
License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
|
|
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
|
|
consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that
|
|
obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you
|
|
convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
|
|
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
|
|
|
|
13. Use with
|
|
the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of
|
|
this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work
|
|
licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
|
|
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will
|
|
continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special
|
|
requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning
|
|
interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
|
|
|
|
14.
|
|
Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish
|
|
revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to time.
|
|
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
|
|
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a
|
|
distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered
|
|
version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it,
|
|
you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
|
|
version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
|
|
Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you
|
|
may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU
|
|
General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance
|
|
of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However,
|
|
no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a
|
|
result of your choosing to follow a later version.
|
|
|
|
15. Disclaimer of
|
|
Warranty.
|
|
|
|
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
|
|
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
|
|
AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
|
|
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
|
|
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
|
|
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
|
|
OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
16. Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED
|
|
BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
|
|
PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
|
|
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
|
|
DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
|
|
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY
|
|
OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
|
|
|
If the
|
|
disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given
|
|
local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local
|
|
law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
|
|
connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability
|
|
accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. END OF TERMS AND

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new
|
|
program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the
|
|
best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can
|
|
redistribute and change under these terms.
|
|
|
|
To do so, attach the following
|
|
notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
|
|
file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
|
|
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
|
|
found.
|
|
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it
|
|
does.>

|
|
|
|
If the program does terminal interaction, make it
|
|
output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
<program>
|
|
Copyright (C) 2024 <name of author>

This is free software, and you are welcome

to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of
|
|
the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be
|
|
different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
|
|
|
|
You should also
|
|
get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a
|
|
"copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on
|
|
this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see

|
|
|
The GNU General Public License does not permit
|
|
incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a
|
|
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
|
|
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser
|
|
General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
