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