| 11 | license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||

| 14 | @heading Preamble | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | ||
| 17 | software and other kinds of works. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | ||
| 20 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | ||
| 21 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom | ||
| 22 | to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains | ||
| 23 | free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, | ||
| 24 | use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it | ||
| 25 | applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You | ||
| 26 | can apply it to your programs, too. | ||
| 27 | |||
| 28 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
| 29 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
| 30 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
| 31 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | ||
| 32 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | ||
| 33 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | ||
| 34 | |||
| 35 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | ||
| 36 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you | ||
| 37 | have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the | ||
| 38 | software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom | ||
| 39 | of others. | ||
| 40 | |||
| 41 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
| 42 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | ||
| 43 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, | ||
| 44 | receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these | ||
| 45 | terms so they know their rights. | ||
| 46 | |||
| 47 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | ||
| 48 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | ||
| 49 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | ||
| 50 | |||
| 51 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | ||
| 52 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | ||
| 53 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | ||
| 54 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | ||
| 55 | authors of previous versions. | ||
| 56 | |||
| 57 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | ||
| 58 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the | ||
| 59 | manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the | ||
| 60 | aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The | ||
| 61 | systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for | ||
| 62 | individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. | ||
| 63 | Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the | ||
| 64 | practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in | ||
| 65 | other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those | ||
| 66 | domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the | ||
| 67 | freedom of users. | ||
| 68 | |||
| 69 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | ||
| 70 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | ||
| 71 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish | ||
| 72 | to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program | ||
| 73 | could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL | ||
| 74 | assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | ||
| 75 | |||
| 76 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
| 77 | modification follow. | ||
| 78 | |||
| 79 | @heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
| 80 | |||
| 81 | @enumerate 0 | ||
| 82 | @item Definitions. | ||
| 83 | |||
| 84 | ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | ||
| 85 | |||
| 86 | ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds | ||
| 87 | of works, such as semiconductor masks. | ||
| 88 | |||
| 89 | ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | ||
| 90 | License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and | ||
| 91 | ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations. | ||
| 92 | |||
| 93 | To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | ||
| 94 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of | ||
| 95 | an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of | ||
| 96 | the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work. | ||
| 97 | |||
| 98 | A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based | ||
| 99 | on the Program. | ||
| 100 | |||
| 101 | To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without | ||
| 102 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | ||
| 103 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | ||
| 104 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | ||
| 105 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | ||
| 106 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. | ||
| 107 | |||
| 108 | To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | ||
| 109 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user | ||
| 110 | through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not | ||
| 111 | conveying. | ||
| 112 | |||
| 113 | An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to | ||
| 114 | the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | ||
| 115 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | ||
| 116 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | ||
| 117 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | ||
| 118 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | ||
| 119 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | ||
| 120 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | ||
| 121 | |||
| 122 | @item Source Code. | ||
| 123 | |||
| 124 | The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
| 125 | making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form | ||
| 126 | of a work. | ||
| 127 | |||
| 128 | A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official | ||
| 129 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | ||
| 130 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | ||
| 131 | is widely used among developers working in that language. | ||
| 132 | |||
| 133 | The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other | ||
| 134 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | ||
| 135 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | ||
| 136 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | ||
| 137 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | ||
| 138 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | ||
| 139 | ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component | ||
| 140 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | ||
| 141 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | ||
| 142 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | ||
| 143 | |||
| 144 | The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all | ||
| 145 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | ||
| 146 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | ||
| 147 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | ||
| 148 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | ||
| 149 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | ||
| 150 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | ||
| 151 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for | ||
| 152 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | ||
| 153 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | ||
| 154 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | ||
| 155 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | ||
| 156 | |||
| 157 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | ||
| 158 | regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | ||
| 159 | |||
| 160 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | ||
| 161 | work. | ||
| 162 | |||
| 163 | @item Basic Permissions. | ||
| 164 | |||
| 165 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | ||
| 166 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | ||
| 167 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | ||
| 168 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | ||
| 169 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | ||
| 170 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | ||
| 171 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | ||
| 172 | |||
| 173 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | ||
| 174 | without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | ||
| 175 | You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | ||
| 176 | them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | ||
| 177 | facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | ||
| 178 | terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | ||
| 179 | control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | ||
| 180 | you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | ||
| 181 | control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | ||
| 182 | copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | ||
| 183 | |||
| 184 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | ||
| 185 | conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | ||
| 186 | makes it unnecessary. | ||
| 187 | |||
| 188 | @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | ||
| 189 | |||
| 190 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | ||
| 191 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | ||
| 192 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | ||
| 193 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | ||
| 194 | measures. | ||
| 195 | |||
| 196 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | ||
| 197 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | ||
| 198 | circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | ||
| 199 | respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | ||
| 200 | operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | ||
| 201 | the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | ||
| 202 | circumvention of technological measures. | ||
| 203 | |||
| 204 | @item Conveying Verbatim Copies. | ||
| 205 | |||
| 206 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | ||
| 207 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||
| 208 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | ||
| 209 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | ||
| 210 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | ||
| 211 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | ||
| 212 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | ||
| 213 | |||
| 214 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | ||
| 215 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | ||
| 216 | |||
| 217 | @item Conveying Modified Source Versions. | ||
| 218 | |||
| 219 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | ||
| 220 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | ||
| 221 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | ||
| 222 | conditions: | ||
| 223 | |||
| 224 | @enumerate a | ||
| 225 | @item | ||
| 226 | The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, | ||
| 227 | and giving a relevant date. | ||
| 228 | |||
| 229 | @item | ||
| 230 | The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released | ||
| 231 | under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This | ||
| 232 | requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all | ||
| 233 | notices''. | ||
| 234 | |||
| 235 | @item | ||
| 236 | You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to | ||
| 237 | anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will | ||
| 238 | therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, | ||
| 239 | to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they | ||
| 240 | are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in | ||
| 241 | any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have | ||
| 242 | separately received it. | ||
| 243 | |||
| 244 | @item | ||
| 245 | If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | ||
| 246 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | ||
| 247 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work | ||
| 248 | need not make them do so. | ||
| 249 | @end enumerate | ||
| 250 | |||
| 251 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | ||
| 252 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | ||
| 253 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | ||
| 254 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | ||
| 255 | ``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | ||
| 256 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | ||
| 257 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | ||
| 258 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | ||
| 259 | parts of the aggregate. | ||
| 260 | |||
| 261 | @item Conveying Non-Source Forms. | ||
| 262 | |||
| 263 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of | ||
| 264 | sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable | ||
| 265 | Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these | ||
| 266 | ways: | ||
| 267 | |||
| 268 | @enumerate a | ||
| 269 | @item | ||
| 270 | Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
| 271 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | ||
| 272 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily | ||
| 273 | used for software interchange. | ||
| 274 | |||
| 275 | @item | ||
| 276 | Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
| 277 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written | ||
| 278 | offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you | ||
| 279 | offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give | ||
| 280 | anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the | ||
| 281 | Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is | ||
| 282 | covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used | ||
| 283 | for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable | ||
| 284 | cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access | ||
| 285 | to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | ||
| 286 | |||
| 287 | @item | ||
| 288 | Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written | ||
| 289 | offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is | ||
| 290 | allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you | ||
| 291 | received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection | ||
| 292 | 6b. | ||
| 293 | |||
| 294 | @item | ||
| 295 | Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place | ||
| 296 | (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | ||
| 297 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | ||
| 298 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | ||
| 299 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy | ||
| 300 | the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be | ||
| 301 | on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports | ||
| 302 | equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions | ||
| 303 | next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. | ||
| 304 | Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain | ||
| 305 | obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to | ||
| 306 | satisfy these requirements. | ||
| 307 | |||
| 308 | @item | ||
| 309 | Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you | ||
| 310 | inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of | ||
| 311 | the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under | ||
| 312 | subsection 6d. | ||
| 313 | |||
| 314 | @end enumerate | ||
| 315 | |||
| 316 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | ||
| 317 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | ||
| 318 | included in conveying the object code work. | ||
| 319 | |||
| 320 | A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any | ||
| 321 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, | ||
| 322 | family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for | ||
| 323 | incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a | ||
| 324 | consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of | ||
| 325 | coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, | ||
| 326 | ``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of | ||
| 327 | product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way | ||
| 328 | in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected | ||
| 329 | to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of | ||
| 330 | whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or | ||
| 331 | non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant | ||
| 332 | mode of use of the product. | ||
| 333 | |||
| 334 | ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods, | ||
| 335 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to | ||
| 336 | install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User | ||
| 337 | Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The | ||
| 338 | information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of | ||
| 339 | the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with | ||
| 340 | solely because modification has been made. | ||
| 341 | |||
| 342 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | ||
| 343 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | ||
| 344 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | ||
| 345 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | ||
| 346 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | ||
| 347 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | ||
| 348 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | ||
| 349 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | ||
| 350 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | ||
| 351 | been installed in ROM). | ||
| 352 | |||
| 353 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | ||
| 354 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or | ||
| 355 | updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the | ||
| 356 | recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or | ||
| 357 | installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification | ||
| 358 | itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network | ||
| 359 | or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the | ||
| 360 | network. | ||
| 361 | |||
| 362 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | ||
| 363 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | ||
| 364 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | ||
| 365 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for | ||
| 366 | unpacking, reading or copying. | ||
| 367 | |||
| 368 | @item Additional Terms. | ||
| 369 | |||
| 370 | ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this | ||
| 371 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | ||
| 372 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | ||
| 373 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | ||
| 374 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | ||
| 375 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | ||
| 376 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | ||
| 377 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. | ||
| 378 | |||
| 379 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | ||
| 380 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | ||
| 381 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | ||
| 382 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | ||
| 383 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | ||
| 384 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | ||
| 385 | |||
| 386 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | ||
| 387 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders | ||
| 388 | of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | ||
| 389 | |||
| 390 | @enumerate a | ||
| 391 | @item | ||
| 392 | Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms | ||
| 393 | of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | ||
| 394 | |||
| 395 | @item | ||
| 396 | Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author | ||
| 397 | attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices | ||
| 398 | displayed by works containing it; or | ||
| 399 | |||
| 400 | @item | ||
| 401 | Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | ||
| 402 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | ||
| 403 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | ||
| 404 | |||
| 405 | @item | ||
| 406 | Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | ||
| 407 | authors of the material; or | ||
| 408 | |||

| 415 | anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with | ||
| 416 | contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any | ||
| 417 | liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those | ||
| 418 | licensors and authors. | ||
| 419 | @end enumerate | ||
| 420 | |||
| 421 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further | ||
| 422 | restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | ||
| 423 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | ||
| 424 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further | ||
| 425 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | ||
| 426 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | ||
| 427 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | ||
| 428 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | ||
| 429 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. | ||
| 430 | |||
| 431 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | ||
| 432 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | ||
| 433 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | ||
| 434 | where to find the applicable terms. | ||
| 435 | |||
| 436 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | ||
| 437 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the | ||
| 438 | above requirements apply either way. | ||
| 439 | |||
| 440 | @item Termination. | ||
| 441 | |||
| 442 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | ||
| 443 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | ||
| 444 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | ||
| 445 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | ||
| 446 | paragraph of section 11). | ||
| 447 | |||
| 448 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | ||
| 449 | from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | ||
| 450 | unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | ||
| 451 | terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | ||
| 452 | fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | ||
| 453 | 60 days after the cessation. | ||
| 454 | |||
| 455 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
| 456 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
| 457 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
| 458 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
| 459 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
| 460 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
| 461 | |||
| 462 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
| 463 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
| 464 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
| 465 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | ||
| 466 | material under section 10. | ||
| 467 | |||
| 468 | @item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | ||
| 469 | |||
| 470 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run | ||
| 471 | a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | ||
| 472 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | ||
| 473 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | ||
| 474 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | ||
| 475 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | ||
| 476 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | ||
| 477 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | ||
| 478 | |||
| 479 | @item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | ||
| 480 | |||
| 481 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | ||
| 482 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | ||
| 483 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | ||
| 484 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | ||
| 485 | |||
| 486 | An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an | ||
| 487 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | ||
| 488 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | ||
| 489 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | ||
| 490 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | ||
| 491 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | ||
| 492 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | ||
| 493 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | ||
| 494 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | ||
| 495 | |||
| 496 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | ||
| 497 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | ||
| 498 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | ||
| 499 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | ||
| 500 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | ||
| 501 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | ||
| 502 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | ||
| 503 | |||
| 504 | @item Patents. | ||
| 505 | |||
| 506 | A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | ||
| 507 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | ||
| 508 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''. | ||
| 509 | |||
| 510 | A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned | ||
| 511 | or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | ||
| 512 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | ||
| 513 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | ||
| 514 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | ||
| 515 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | ||
| 516 | purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant | ||
| 517 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | ||
| 518 | this License. | ||
| 519 | |||
| 520 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | ||
| 521 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | ||
| 522 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | ||
| 523 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. | ||
| 524 | |||
| 525 | In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express | ||
| 526 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | ||
| 527 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | ||
| 528 | sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a | ||
| 529 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | ||
| 530 | patent against the party. | ||
| 531 | |||
| 532 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | ||
| 533 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | ||
| 534 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | ||
| 535 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | ||
| 536 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | ||
| 537 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | ||
| 538 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | ||
| 539 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | ||
| 540 | license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have | ||
| 541 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | ||
| 542 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | ||
| 543 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | ||
| 544 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. | ||
| 545 | |||
| 546 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | ||
| 547 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | ||
| 548 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | ||
| 549 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | ||
| 550 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | ||
| 551 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | ||
| 552 | work and works based on it. | ||
| 553 | |||
| 554 | A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the | ||
| 555 | scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on | ||
| 556 | the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically | ||
| 557 | granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you | ||
| 558 | are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the | ||
| 559 | business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the | ||
| 560 | third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the | ||
| 561 | work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties | ||
| 562 | who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent | ||
| 563 | license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by | ||
| 564 | you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in | ||
| 565 | connection with specific products or compilations that contain the | ||
| 566 | covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent | ||
| 567 | license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | ||
| 568 | |||
| 569 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | ||
| 570 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | ||
| 571 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | ||
| 572 | |||
| 573 | @item No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | ||
| 574 | |||
| 575 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
| 576 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
| 577 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey | ||
| 578 | a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under | ||
| 579 | this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a | ||
| 580 | consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree | ||
| 581 | to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying | ||
| 582 | from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could | ||
| 583 | satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely | ||
| 584 | from conveying the Program. | ||
| 585 | |||
| 586 | @item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | ||
| 587 | |||
| 588 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | ||
| 589 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | ||
| 590 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | ||
| 591 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | ||
| 592 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | ||
| 593 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | ||
| 594 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | ||
| 595 | combination as such. | ||
| 596 | |||
| 597 | @item Revised Versions of this License. | ||
| 598 | |||
| 599 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
| 600 | of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new | ||
| 601 | versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | ||
| 602 | differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | ||
| 603 | |||
| 604 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | ||
| 605 | specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public | ||
| 606 | License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of | ||
| 607 | following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or | ||
| 608 | of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If | ||
| 609 | the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General | ||
| 610 | Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free | ||
| 611 | Software Foundation. | ||
| 612 | |||
| 613 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions | ||
| 614 | of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public | ||
| 615 | statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to | ||
| 616 | choose that version for the Program. | ||
| 617 | |||
| 618 | Later license versions may give you additional or different | ||
| 619 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | ||
| 620 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | ||
| 621 | later version. | ||
| 622 | |||
| 623 | @item Disclaimer of Warranty. | ||
| 624 | |||
| 625 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | ||
| 626 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | ||
| 627 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT | ||
| 628 | WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT | ||
| 629 | LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR | ||
| 630 | A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND | ||
| 631 | PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE | ||
| 632 | DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR | ||
| 633 | CORRECTION. | ||
| 634 | |||
| 635 | @item Limitation of Liability. | ||
| 636 | |||
| 637 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
| 638 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR | ||
| 639 | CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | ||
| 640 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES | ||
| 641 | ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT | ||
| 642 | NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR | ||
| 643 | LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM | ||
| 644 | TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER | ||
| 645 | PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
| 646 | |||
| 647 | @item Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | ||
| 648 | |||
| 649 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | ||
| 650 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | ||
| 651 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | ||
| 652 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | ||
| 653 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | ||
| 654 | copy of the Program in return for a fee. | ||

| 660 | @heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | ||
| 661 | |||
| 662 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | ||
| 663 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | ||
| 664 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these | ||
| 665 | terms. | ||
| 666 | |||
| 667 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | ||
| 668 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | ||
| 669 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | ||
| 670 | the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | ||
| 671 | |||

| 679 | your option) any later version. | ||

| 682 | WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | ||

| 688 | @end smallexample | ||
| 689 | |||
| 690 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | ||
| 691 | |||
| 692 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short | ||
| 693 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: | ||

| 700 | @end smallexample | ||
| 701 | |||
| 702 | The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show | ||
| 703 | the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your | ||
| 704 | program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would | ||
| 705 | use an ``about box''. | ||
| 706 | |||
| 707 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | ||
| 708 | if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary. | ||

| 712 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your | ||
| 713 | program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine | ||
| 714 | library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary | ||
| 715 | applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use | ||
| 716 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But | ||
| 717 | first, please read @url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html}. | ||
