GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

3

Version 3, 29 June 2007

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

7

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

10

11

The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for

12

software and other kinds of works.

13

14

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed

15

to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,

16

the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to

17

share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free

18

software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the

19

GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to

20

any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to

21

your programs, too.

22

23

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not

24

price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you

25

have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for

26

them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you

27

want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new

28

free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

29

30

To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you

31

these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have

32

certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if

33

you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.

34

35

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

36

gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same

37

freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive

38

or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they

39

know their rights.

40

41

Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:

42

(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License

43

giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.

44

45

For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains

46

that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and

47

authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as

48

changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to

49

authors of previous versions.

50

51

Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run

52

modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer

53

can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of

54

protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic

55

pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to

56

use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we

57

have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those

58

products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we

59

stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions

60

of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

61

62

Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.

63

States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of

64

software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to

65

avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could

66

make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that

67

patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

68

69

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

70

modification follow.

71

72

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

73

74

0. Definitions.

75

76

"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

77

78

"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of

79

works, such as semiconductor masks.

80

81

"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this

82

License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and

83

"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.

84

85

To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work

86

in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an

87

exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the

88

earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

89

90

A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based

91

on the Program.

92

93

To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without

94

permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for

95

infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a

96

computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,

97

distribution (with or without modification), making available to the

98

public, and in some countries other activities as well.

99

100

To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other

101

parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through

102

a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

103

104

An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"

105

to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible

106

feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)

107

tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the

108

extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the

109

work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If

110

the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a

111

menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

112

113

1. Source Code.

114

115

The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work

116

for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source

117

form of a work.

118

119

A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official

120

standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of

121

interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that

122

is widely used among developers working in that language.

123

124

The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other

125

than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of

126

packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major

127

Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that

128

Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an

129

implementation is available to the public in source code form. A

130

"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component

131

(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system

132

(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to

133

produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

134

135

The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all

136

the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable

137

work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to

138

control those activities. However, it does not include the work's

139

System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free

140

programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but

141

which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source

142

includes interface definition files associated with source files for

143

the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically

144

linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,

145

such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those

146

subprograms and other parts of the work.

147

148

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users

149

can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding

150

Source.

151

152

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that

153

same work.

154

155

2. Basic Permissions.

156

157

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of

158

copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated

159

conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited

160

permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a

161

covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its

162

content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your

163

rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

164

165

You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not

166

convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains

167

in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose

168

of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you

169

with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with

170

the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do

171

not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works

172

for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction

173

and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of

174

your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

175

176

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under

177

the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10

178

makes it unnecessary.

179

180

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

181

182

No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological

183

measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article

184

11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or

185

similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such

186

measures.

187

188

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid

189

circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention

190

is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to

191

the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or

192

modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's

193

users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of

194

technological measures.

195

196

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

197

198

You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you

199

receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and

200

appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;

201

keep intact all notices stating that this License and any

202

non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;

203

keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all

204

recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

205

206

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,

207

and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

208

209

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

210

211

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to

212

produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the

213

terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

214

215

a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified

216

it, and giving a relevant date.

217

218

b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is

219

released under this License and any conditions added under section

220

7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to

221

"keep intact all notices".

222

223

c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this

224

License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This

225

License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7

226

additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,

227

regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no

228

permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not

229

invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

230

231

d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display

232

Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive

233

interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your

234

work need not make them do so.

235

236

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent

237

works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,

238

and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,

239

in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an

240

"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not

241

used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users

242

beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work

243

in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other

244

parts of the aggregate.

245

246

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

247

248

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms

249

of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the

250

machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,

251

in one of these ways:

252

253

a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product

254

(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the

255

Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium

256

customarily used for software interchange.

257

258

b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product

259

(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a

260

written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as

261

long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product

262

model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a

263

copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the

264

product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical

265

medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no

266

more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this

267

conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the

268

Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.

269

270

c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the

271

written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This

272

alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and

273

only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord

274

with subsection 6b.

275

276

d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated

277

place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the

278

Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no

279

further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the

280

Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to

281

copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source

282

may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)

283

that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain

284

clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the

285

Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the

286

Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is

287

available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

288

289

e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided

290

you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding

291

Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no

292

charge under subsection 6d.

293

294

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded

295

from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be

296

included in conveying the object code work.

297

298

A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any

299

tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,

300

or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation

301

into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,

302

doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular

303

product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a

304

typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status

305

of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user

306

actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product

307

is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial

308

commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent

309

the only significant mode of use of the product.

310

311

"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,

312

procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install

313

and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from

314

a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must

315

suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object

316

code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because

317

modification has been made.

318

319

If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or

320

specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as

321

part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the

322

User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a

323

fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the

324

Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied

325

by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply

326

if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install

327

modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has

328

been installed in ROM).

329

330

The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a

331

requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates

332

for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for

333

the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a

334

network may be denied when the modification itself materially and

335

adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and

336

protocols for communication across the network.

337

338

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,

339

in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly

340

documented (and with an implementation available to the public in

341

source code form), and must require no special password or key for

342

unpacking, reading or copying.

343

344

7. Additional Terms.

345

346

"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this

347

License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.

348

Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall

349

be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent

350

that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions

351

apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately

352

under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by

353

this License without regard to the additional permissions.

354

355

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option

356

remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of

357

it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own

358

removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place

359

additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,

360

for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

361

362

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you

363

add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of

364

that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

365

366

a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the

367

terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

368

369

b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or

370

author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal

371

Notices displayed by works containing it; or

372

373

c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or

374

requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in

375

reasonable ways as different from the original version; or

376

377

d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or

378

authors of the material; or

379

380

e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some

381

trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or

382

383

f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that

384

material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of

385

it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for

386

any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on

387

those licensors and authors.

388

389

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further

390

restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you

391

received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is

392

governed by this License along with a term that is a further

393

restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains

394

a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this

395

License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms

396

of that license document, provided that the further restriction does

397

not survive such relicensing or conveying.

398

399

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you

400

must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the

401

additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating

402

where to find the applicable terms.

403

404

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the

405

form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;

406

the above requirements apply either way.

407

408

8. Termination.

409

410

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly

411

provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or

412

modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under

413

this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third

414

paragraph of section 11).

415

416

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your

417

license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)

418

provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and

419

finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright

420

holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means

421

prior to 60 days after the cessation.

422

423

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is

424

reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the

425

violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have

426

received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that

427

copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after

428

your receipt of the notice.

429

430

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the

431

licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under

432

this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently

433

reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same

434

material under section 10.

435

436

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

437

438

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or

439

run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work

440

occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission

441

to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,

442

nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or

443

modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do

444

not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a

445

covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

446

447

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

448

449

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically

450

receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and

451

propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible

452

for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

453

454

An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an

455

organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an

456

organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered

457

work results from an entity transaction, each party to that

458

transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever

459

licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could

460

give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the

461

Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if

462

the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

463

464

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the

465

rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may

466

not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of

467

rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation

468

(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that

469

any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for

470

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

471

472

11. Patents.

473

474

A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this

475

License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The

476

work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".

477

478

A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims

479

owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or

480

hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted

481

by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,

482

but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a

483

consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For

484

purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant

485

patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of

486

this License.

487

488

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free

489

patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to

490

make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and

491

propagate the contents of its contributor version.

492

493

In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express

494

agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent

495

(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to

496

sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a

497

party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a

498

patent against the party.

499

500

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,

501

and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone

502

to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a

503

publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,

504

then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so

505

available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the

506

patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner

507

consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent

508

license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have

509

actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the

510

covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work

511

in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that

512

country that you have reason to believe are valid.

513

514

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or

515

arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a

516

covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties

517

receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify

518

or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license

519

you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered

520

work and works based on it.

521

522

A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within

523

the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is

524

conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are

525

specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered

526

work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is

527

in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment

528

to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying

529

the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the

530

parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory

531

patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work

532

conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily

533

for and in connection with specific products or compilations that

534

contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,

535

or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

536

537

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting

538

any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may

539

otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

540

541

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

542

543

If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or

544

otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not

545

excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a

546

covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this

547

License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may

548

not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you

549

to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey

550

the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this

551

License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

552

553

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.

554

555

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have

556

permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed

557

under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single

558

combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this

559

License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,

560

but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,

561

section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the

562

combination as such.

563

564

14. Revised Versions of this License.

565

566

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of

567

the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will

568

be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to

569

address new problems or concerns.

570

571

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the

572

Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General

573

Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the

574

option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered

575

version or of any later version published by the Free Software

576

Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the

577

GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published

578

by the Free Software Foundation.

579

580

If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future

581

versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's

582

public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you

583

to choose that version for the Program.

584

585

Later license versions may give you additional or different

586

permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any

587

author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a

588

later version.

589

590

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

591

592

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY

593

APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT

594

HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY

595

OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,

596

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

597

PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM

598

IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF

599

ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

600

601

16. Limitation of Liability.

602

603

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING

604

WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS

605

THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY

606

GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE

607

USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF

608

DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD

609

PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),

610

EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF

611

SUCH DAMAGES.

612

613

17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

614

615

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided

616

above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,

617

reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates

618

an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the

619

Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a

620

copy of the Program in return for a fee.

621

622

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

623

624

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

625

626

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest

627

possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it

628

free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

629

630

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest

631

to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

632

state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least

633

the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

634

635

636

Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

637

638

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify

639

it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

640

the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or

641

(at your option) any later version.

642

643

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

644

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

645

MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

646

GNU General Public License for more details.

647

648

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

649

along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

650

651

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

652

653

If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short

654

notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

655

656

<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

657

This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

658

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

659

under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

660

661

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

662

parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands

663

might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".

664

665

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,

666

if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

667

For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see

668

<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

669

670

The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program

671

into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you

672

may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with

673

the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General

674

Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
