11 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
12 Version 3, 29 June 2007
13
14 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
15 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
16 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
17
18 Preamble
19
20 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
21 software and other kinds of works.
22
23 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
24 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
25 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
26 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
27 software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
28 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
29 any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
30 your programs, too.
31
32 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
33 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
34 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
35 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
36 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
37 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
38
39 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
40 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
41 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
42 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
43
44 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
45 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
46 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
47 or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
48 know their rights.
49
50 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
51 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
52 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
53
54 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
55 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
56 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
57 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
58 authors of previous versions.
59
60 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
61 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
62 can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
63 protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
64 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
65 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
66 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
67 products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
68 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
69 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
70
71 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
72 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
73 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
74 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
75 make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
76 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
77
78 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
79 modification follow.
80
81 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
82
83 0. Definitions.
84
85 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
86
87 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
88 works, such as semiconductor masks.
89
90 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
91 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
92 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
93
94 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
95 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
96 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
97 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
98
99 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
100 on the Program.
101
102 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
103 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
104 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
105 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
106 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
107 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
108
109 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
110 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
111 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
112
113 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
114 to 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 1. Source Code.
123
124 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
125 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
126 form 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
158 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
159 Source.
160
161 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
162 same work.
163
164 2. Basic Permissions.
165
166 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
167 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
168 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
169 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
170 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
171 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
172 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
173
174 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
175 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
176 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
177 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
178 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
179 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
180 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
181 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
182 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
183 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
184
185 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
186 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
187 makes it unnecessary.
188
189 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
190
191 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
192 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
193 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
194 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
195 measures.
196
197 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
198 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
199 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
200 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
201 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
202 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
203 technological measures.
204
205 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
206
207 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
208 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
209 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
210 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
211 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
212 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
213 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
214
215 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
216 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
217
218 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
219
220 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
221 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
222 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
223
224 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
225 it, and giving a relevant date.
226
227 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
228 released under this License and any conditions added under section
229 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
230 "keep intact all notices".
231
232 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
233 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
234 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
235 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
236 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
237 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
238 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
239
240 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
241 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
242 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
243 work need not make them do so.
244
245 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
246 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
247 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
248 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
249 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
250 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
251 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
252 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
253 parts of the aggregate.
254
255 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
256
257 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
258 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
259 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
260 in one of these ways:
261
262 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
263 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
264 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
265 customarily used for software interchange.
266
267 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
268 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
269 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
270 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
271 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
272 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
273 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
274 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
275 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
276 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
277 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
278
279 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
280 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
281 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
282 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
283 with subsection 6b.
284
285 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
286 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
287 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
288 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
289 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
290 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
291 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
292 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
293 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
294 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
295 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
296 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
297
298 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
299 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
300 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
301 charge under subsection 6d.
302
303 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
304 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
305 included in conveying the object code work.
306
307 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
308 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
309 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
310 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
311 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
312 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
313 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
314 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
315 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
316 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
317 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
318 the only significant mode of use of the product.
319
320 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
321 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
322 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
323 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
324 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
325 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
326 modification has been made.
327
328 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
329 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
330 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
331 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
332 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
333 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
334 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
335 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
336 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
337 been installed in ROM).
338
339 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
340 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
341 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
342 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
343 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
344 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
345 protocols for communication across the network.
346
347 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
348 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
349 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
350 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
351 unpacking, reading or copying.
352
353 7. Additional Terms.
354
355 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
356 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
357 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
358 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
359 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
360 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
361 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
362 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
363
364 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
365 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
366 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
367 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
368 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
369 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
370
371 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
372 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
373 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
374
375 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
376 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
377
378 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
379 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
380 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
381
382 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
383 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
384 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
385
386 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
387 authors of the material; or
388
389 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
390 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
391
392 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
393 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
394 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
395 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
396 those licensors and authors.
397
398 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
399 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
400 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
401 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
402 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
403 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
404 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
405 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
406 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
407
408 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
409 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
410 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
411 where to find the applicable terms.
412
413 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
414 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
415 the above requirements apply either way.
416
417 8. Termination.
418
419 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
420 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
421 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
422 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
423 paragraph of section 11).
424
425 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
426 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
427 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
428 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
429 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
430 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
431
432 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
433 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
434 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
435 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
436 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
437 your receipt of the notice.
438
439 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
440 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
441 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
442 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
443 material under section 10.
444
445 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
446
447 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
448 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
449 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
450 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
451 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
452 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
453 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
454 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
455
456 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
457
458 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
459 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
460 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
461 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
462
463 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
464 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
465 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
466 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
467 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
468 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
469 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
470 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
471 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
472
473 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
474 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
475 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
476 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
477 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
478 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
479 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
480
481 11. Patents.
482
483 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
484 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
485 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
486
487 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
488 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
489 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
490 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
491 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
492 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
493 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
494 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
495 this License.
496
497 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
498 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
499 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
500 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
501
502 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
503 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
504 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
505 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
506 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
507 patent against the party.
508
509 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
510 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
511 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
512 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
513 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
514 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
515 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
516 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
517 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
518 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
519 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
520 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
521 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
522
523 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
524 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
525 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
526 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
527 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
528 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
529 work and works based on it.
530
531 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
532 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
533 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
534 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
535 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
536 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
537 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
538 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
539 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
540 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
541 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
542 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
543 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
544 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
545
546 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
547 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
548 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
549
550 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
551
552 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
553 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
554 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
555 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
556 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
557 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
558 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
559 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
560 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
561
562 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
563
564 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
565 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
566 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
567 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
568 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
569 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
570 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
571 combination as such.
572
573 14. Revised Versions of this License.
574
575 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
576 the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
577 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
578 address new problems or concerns.
579
580 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
581 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
582 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
583 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
584 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
585 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
586 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
587 by the Free Software Foundation.
588
589 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
590 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
591 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
592 to choose that version for the Program.
593
594 Later license versions may give you additional or different
595 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
596 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
597 later version.
598
599 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
600
601 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
602 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
603 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
604 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
605 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
606 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
607 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
608 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
609
610 16. Limitation of Liability.
611
612 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
613 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
614 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
615 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
616 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
617 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
618 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
619 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
620 SUCH DAMAGES.
621
622 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
623
624 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
625 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
626 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
627 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
628 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
629 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
630
631 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
632
633 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
634
635 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
636 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
637 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
638
639 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
640 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
641 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
642 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
643
644 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
645 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
646
647 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
648 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
649 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
650 (at your option) any later version.
651
652 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
653 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
654 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
655 GNU General Public License for more details.
656
657 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
658 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
659
660 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
661
662 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
663 notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
664
665 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
666 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
667 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
668 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
669
670 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
671 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
672 might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
673
674 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
675 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
676 For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
677 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
678
679 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
680 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
681 may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
682 the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
683 Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
684 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
685
686 GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
687 Version 3, 29 June 2007
688
689 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
690 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
691 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
692
693
694 This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
695 the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
696 License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
697
698 0. Additional Definitions.
699
700 As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
701 General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
702 General Public License.
703
704 "The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
705 other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
706
707 An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
708 by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
709 Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
710 of using an interface provided by the Library.
711
712 A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
713 Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
714 with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
715 Version".
716
717 The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
718 Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
719 for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
720 based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
721
722 The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
723 object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
724 and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
725 Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
726
727 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
728
729 You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
730 without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
731
732 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
733
734 If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
735 facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
736 that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
737 facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
738 version:
739
740 a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
741 ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
742 function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
743 whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
744
745 b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
746 this License applicable to that copy.
747
748 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
749
750 The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
751 a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
752 code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
753 material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
754 layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
755 (ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
756
757 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
758 Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
759 covered by this License.
760
761 b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
762 document.
763
764 4. Combined Works.
765
766 You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
767 taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
768 portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
769 engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
770 the following:
771
772 a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
773 the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
774 covered by this License.
775
776 b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
777 document.
778
779 c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
780 execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
781 these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
782 copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
783
784 d) Do one of the following:
785
786 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
787 License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
788 suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
789 recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
790 the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
791 manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
792 Corresponding Source.
793
794 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
795 Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
796 a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
797 system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
798 of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
799 Version.
800
801 e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
802 be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
803 GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
804 necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
805 Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
806 Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
807 you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
808 the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
809 Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
810 Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
811 for conveying Corresponding Source.)
812
813 5. Combined Libraries.
814
815 You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
816 Library side by side in a single library together with other library
817 facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
818 License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
819 choice, if you do both of the following:
820
821 a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
822 on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
823 conveyed under the terms of this License.
824
825 b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
826 is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
827 accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
828
829 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
830
831 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
832 of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
833 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
834 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
835
836 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
837 Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
838 of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
839 applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
840 conditions either of that published version or of any later version
841 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
842 received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
843 General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
844 General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
845
846 If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
847 whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
848 apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
849 permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
850 Library.
