5 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
6 Version 3, 29 June 2007
7  
8 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
9 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
10 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
11  
12 Preamble
13  
14 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
15 software and other kinds of works.
16  
17 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
18 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
19 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
20 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
21 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
22 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
23 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
24 your programs, too.
25  
26 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
27 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
28 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
29 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
30 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
31 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
32  
33 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
34 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
35 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
36 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
37  
38 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
39 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
40 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
41 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
42 know their rights.
43  
44 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
45 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
46 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
47  
48 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
49 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
50 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
51 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
52 authors of previous versions.
53  
54 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
55 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
56 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
57 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
58 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
59 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
60 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
61 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
62 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
63 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
64  
65 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
66 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
67 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
68 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
69 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
70 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
71  
72 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
73 modification follow.
74  
75 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
76  
77 0. Definitions.
78  
79 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
80  
81 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
82 works, such as semiconductor masks.
83  
84 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
85 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
86 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
87  
88 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
89 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
90 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
91 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
92  
93 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
94 on the Program.
95  
96 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
97 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
98 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
99 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
100 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
101 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
102  
103 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
104 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
105 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
106  
107 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
108 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
109 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
110 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
111 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
112 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
113 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
114 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
115  
116 1. Source Code.
117  
118 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
119 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
120 form of a work.
121  
122 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
123 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
124 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
125 is widely used among developers working in that language.
126  
127 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
128 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
129 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
130 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
131 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
132 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
133 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
134 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
135 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
136 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
137  
138 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
139 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
140 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
141 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
142 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
143 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
144 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
145 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
146 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
147 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
148 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
149 subprograms and other parts of the work.
150  
151 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
152 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
153 Source.
154  
155 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
156 same work.
157  
158 2. Basic Permissions.
159  
160 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
161 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
162 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
163 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
164 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
165 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
166 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
167  
168 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
169 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
170 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
171 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
172 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
173 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
174 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
175 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
176 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
177 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
178  
179 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
180 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
181 makes it unnecessary.
182  
183 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
184  
185 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
186 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
187 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
188 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
189 measures.
190  
191 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
192 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
193 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
194 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
195 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
196 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
197 technological measures.
198  
199 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
200  
201 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
202 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
203 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
204 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
205 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
206 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
207 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
208  
209 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
210 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
211  
212 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
213  
214 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
215 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
216 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
217  
218 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
219 it, and giving a relevant date.
220  
221 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
222 released under this License and any conditions added under section
223 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
224 "keep intact all notices".
225  
226 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
227 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
228 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
229 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
230 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
231 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
232 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
233  
234 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
235 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
236 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
237 work need not make them do so.
238  
239 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
240 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
241 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
242 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
243 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
244 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
245 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
246 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
247 parts of the aggregate.
248  
249 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
250  
251 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
252 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
253 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
254 in one of these ways:
255  
256 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
257 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
258 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
259 customarily used for software interchange.
260  
261 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
262 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
263 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
264 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
265 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
266 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
267 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
268 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
269 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
270 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
271 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
272  
273 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
274 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
275 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
276 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
277 with subsection 6b.
278  
279 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
280 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
281 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
282 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
283 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
284 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
285 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
286 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
287 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
288 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
289 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
290 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
291  
292 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
293 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
294 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
295 charge under subsection 6d.
296  
297 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
298 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
299 included in conveying the object code work.
300  
301 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
302 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
303 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
304 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
305 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
306 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
307 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
308 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
309 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
310 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
311 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
312 the only significant mode of use of the product.
313  
314 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
315 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
316 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
317 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
318 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
319 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
320 modification has been made.
321  
322 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
323 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
324 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
325 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
326 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
327 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
328 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
329 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
330 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
331 been installed in ROM).
332  
333 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
334 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
335 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
336 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
337 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
338 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
339 protocols for communication across the network.
340  
341 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
342 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
343 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
344 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
345 unpacking, reading or copying.
346  
347 7. Additional Terms.
348  
349 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
350 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
351 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
352 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
353 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
354 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
355 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
356 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
357  
358 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
359 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
360 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
361 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
362 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
363 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
364  
365 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
366 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
367 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
368  
369 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
370 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
371  
372 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
373 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
374 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
375  
376 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
377 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
378 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
379  
380 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
381 authors of the material; or
382  
383 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
384 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
385  
386 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
387 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
388 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
389 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
390 those licensors and authors.
391  
392 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
393 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
394 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
395 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
396 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
397 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
398 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
399 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
400 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
401  
402 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
403 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
404 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
405 where to find the applicable terms.
406  
407 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
408 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
409 the above requirements apply either way.
410  
411 8. Termination.
412  
413 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
414 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
415 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
416 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
417 paragraph of section 11).
418  
419 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
420 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
421 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
422 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
423 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
424 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
425  
426 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
427 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
428 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
429 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
430 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
431 your receipt of the notice.
432  
433 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
434 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
435 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
436 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
437 material under section 10.
438  
439 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
440  
441 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
442 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
443 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
444 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
445 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
446 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
447 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
448 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
449  
450 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
451  
452 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
453 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
454 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
455 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
456  
457 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
458 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
459 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
460 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
461 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
462 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
463 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
464 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
465 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
466  
467 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
468 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
469 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
470 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
471 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
472 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
473 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
474  
475 11. Patents.
476  
477 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
478 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
479 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
480  
481 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
482 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
483 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
484 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
485 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
486 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
487 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
488 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
489 this License.
490  
491 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
492 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
493 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
494 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
495  
496 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
497 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
498 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
499 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
500 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
501 patent against the party.
502  
503 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
504 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
505 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
506 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
507 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
508 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
509 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
510 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
511 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
512 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
513 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
514 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
515 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
516  
517 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
518 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
519 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
520 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
521 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
522 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
523 work and works based on it.
524  
525 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
526 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
527 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
528 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
529 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
530 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
531 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
532 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
533 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
534 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
535 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
536 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
537 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
538 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
539  
540 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
541 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
542 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
543  
544 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
545  
546 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
547 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
548 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
549 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
550 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
551 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
552 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
553 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
554 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
555  
556 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
557  
558 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
559 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
560 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
561 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
562 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
563 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
564 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
565 combination as such.
566  
567 14. Revised Versions of this License.
568  
569 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
570 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
571 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
572 address new problems or concerns.
573  
574 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
575 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
576 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
577 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
578 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
579 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
580 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
581 by the Free Software Foundation.
582  
583 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
584 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
585 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
586 to choose that version for the Program.
587  
588 Later license versions may give you additional or different
589 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
590 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
591 later version.
592  
593 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
594  
595 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
596 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
597 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
598 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
599 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
600 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
601 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
602 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
603  
604 16. Limitation of Liability.
605  
606 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
607 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
608 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
609 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
610 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
611 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
612 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
613 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
614 SUCH DAMAGES.
615  
616 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
617  
618 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
619 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
620 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
621 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
622 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
623 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
624  
625 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
626  
627 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
628  
629 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
630 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
631 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
632  
633 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
634 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
635 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
636 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
637  
638 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
639 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
640  
641 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
642 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
643 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
644 (at your option) any later version.
645  
646 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
647 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
648 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
649 GNU General Public License for more details.
650  
651 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
652 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
653  
654 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
655  
656 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
657 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
658  
659 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
660 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
661 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
662 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
663  
664 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
665 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
666 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
667  
668 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
669 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
670 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
671 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
672  
673 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
674 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
675 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
676 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
677 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
678 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
