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