| − | Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h3>Preamble</h3>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
| |
| − | software and other kinds of works.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
| |
| − | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
| |
| − | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
| |
| − | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
| |
| − | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
| |
| − | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
| |
| − | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
| |
| − | your programs, too.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
| |
| − | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
| |
| − | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
| |
| − | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
| |
| − | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
| |
| − | free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
| |
| − | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
| |
| − | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
| |
| − | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
| |
| − | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
| |
| − | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
| |
| − | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
| |
| − | know their rights.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
| |
| − | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
| |
| − | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
| |
| − | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
| |
| − | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
| |
| − | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
| |
| − | authors of previous versions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
| |
| − | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
| |
| − | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
| |
| − | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
| |
| − | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
| |
| − | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
| |
| − | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
| |
| − | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
| |
| − | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
| |
| − | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
| |
| − | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
| |
| − | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
| |
| − | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
| |
| − | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
| |
| − | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
| |
| − | modification follow.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h3>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h3>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>0. Definitions.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
| |
| − | works, such as semiconductor masks.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
| |
| − | License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
| |
| − | “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
| |
| − | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
| |
| − | exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the
| |
| − | earlier work or a work “based on” the earlier work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based
| |
| − | on the Program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
| |
| − | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
| |
| − | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
| |
| − | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
| |
| − | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
| |
| − | public, and in some countries other activities as well.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
| |
| − | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
| |
| − | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices”
| |
| − | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
| |
| − | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
| |
| − | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
| |
| − | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
| |
| − | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
| |
| − | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
| |
| − | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>1. Source Code.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work
| |
| − | for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source
| |
| − | form of a work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
| |
| − | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
| |
| − | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
| |
| − | is widely used among developers working in that language.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other
| |
| − | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
| |
| − | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
| |
| − | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
| |
| − | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
| |
| − | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
| |
| − | “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component
| |
| − | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
| |
| − | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
| |
| − | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all
| |
| − | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
| |
| − | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
| |
| − | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
| |
| − | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
| |
| − | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
| |
| − | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
| |
| − | includes interface definition files associated with source files for
| |
| − | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
| |
| − | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
| |
| − | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
| |
| − | subprograms and other parts of the work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
| |
| − | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
| |
| − | Source.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
| |
| − | same work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>2. Basic Permissions.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
| |
| − | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
| |
| − | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
| |
| − | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
| |
| − | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
| |
| − | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
| |
| − | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
| |
| − | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
| |
| − | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
| |
| − | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
| |
| − | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
| |
| − | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
| |
| − | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
| |
| − | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
| |
| − | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
| |
| − | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
| |
| − | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
| |
| − | makes it unnecessary.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
| |
| − | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
| |
| − | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
| |
| − | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
| |
| − | measures.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
| |
| − | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
| |
| − | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
| |
| − | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
| |
| − | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
| |
| − | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
| |
| − | technological measures.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
| |
| − | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
| |
| − | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
| |
| − | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
| |
| − | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
| |
| − | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
| |
| − | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
| |
| − | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
| |
| − | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
| |
| − | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
| |
| − | it, and giving a relevant date.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
| |
| − | released under this License and any conditions added under section
| |
| − | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
| |
| − | “keep intact all notices”.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
| |
| − | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
| |
| − | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
| |
| − | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
| |
| − | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
| |
| − | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
| |
| − | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
| |
| − | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
| |
| − | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
| |
| − | work need not make them do so.</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
| |
| − | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
| |
| − | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
| |
| − | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
| |
| − | “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
| |
| − | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
| |
| − | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
| |
| − | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
| |
| − | parts of the aggregate.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
| |
| − | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
| |
| − | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
| |
| − | in one of these ways:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
| |
| − | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
| |
| − | customarily used for software interchange.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
| |
| − | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
| |
| − | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
| |
| − | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
| |
| − | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
| |
| − | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
| |
| − | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
| |
| − | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
| |
| − | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
| |
| − | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
| |
| − | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
| |
| − | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
| |
| − | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
| |
| − | with subsection 6b.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
| |
| − | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
| |
| − | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
| |
| − | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
| |
| − | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
| |
| − | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
| |
| − | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
| |
| − | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
| |
| − | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
| |
| − | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
| |
| − | charge under subsection 6d.</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
| |
| − | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
| |
| − | included in conveying the object code work.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
| |
| − | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
| |
| − | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
| |
| − | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
| |
| − | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
| |
| − | product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a
| |
| − | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
| |
| − | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
| |
| − | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
| |
| − | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
| |
| − | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
| |
| − | the only significant mode of use of the product.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
| |
| − | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
| |
| − | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
| |
| − | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
| |
| − | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
| |
| − | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
| |
| − | modification has been made.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
| |
| − | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
| |
| − | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
| |
| − | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
| |
| − | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
| |
| − | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
| |
| − | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
| |
| − | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
| |
| − | been installed in ROM).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
| |
| − | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
| |
| − | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
| |
| − | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
| |
| − | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
| |
| − | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
| |
| − | protocols for communication across the network.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
| |
| − | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
| |
| − | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
| |
| − | source code form), and must require no special password or key for
| |
| − | unpacking, reading or copying.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>7. Additional Terms.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
| |
| − | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
| |
| − | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
| |
| − | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
| |
| − | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
| |
| − | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
| |
| − | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
| |
| − | this License without regard to the additional permissions.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
| |
| − | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
| |
| − | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
| |
| − | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
| |
| − | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
| |
| − | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
| |
| − | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
| |
| − | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <ul>
| |
| − | <li>a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
| |
| − | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
| |
| − | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
| |
| − | Notices displayed by works containing it; or</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
| |
| − | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
| |
| − | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
| |
| − | authors of the material; or</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
| |
| − | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or</li>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <li>f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
| |
| − | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
| |
| − | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
| |
| − | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
| |
| − | those licensors and authors.</li>
| |
| − | </ul>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
| |
| − | restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
| |
| − | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
| |
| − | governed by this License along with a term that is a further
| |
| − | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
| |
| − | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
| |
| − | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
| |
| − | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
| |
| − | not survive such relicensing or conveying.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
| |
| − | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
| |
| − | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
| |
| − | where to find the applicable terms.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
| |
| − | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
| |
| − | the above requirements apply either way.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>8. Termination.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
| |
| − | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
| |
| − | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
| |
| − | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
| |
| − | paragraph of section 11).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
| |
| − | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
| |
| − | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
| |
| − | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
| |
| − | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
| |
| − | prior to 60 days after the cessation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
| |
| − | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
| |
| − | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
| |
| − | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
| |
| − | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
| |
| − | your receipt of the notice.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
| |
| − | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
| |
| − | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
| |
| − | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
| |
| − | material under section 10.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
| |
| − | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
| |
| − | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
| |
| − | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
| |
| − | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
| |
| − | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
| |
| − | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
| |
| − | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
| |
| − | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
| |
| − | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
| |
| − | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
| |
| − | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
| |
| − | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
| |
| − | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
| |
| − | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
| |
| − | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
| |
| − | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
| |
| − | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
| |
| − | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
| |
| − | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
| |
| − | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
| |
| − | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
| |
| − | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
| |
| − | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
| |
| − | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>11. Patents.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
| |
| − | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
| |
| − | work thus licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims
| |
| − | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
| |
| − | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
| |
| − | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
| |
| − | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
| |
| − | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
| |
| − | purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant
| |
| − | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
| |
| − | this License.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
| |
| − | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
| |
| − | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
| |
| − | propagate the contents of its contributor version.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
| |
| − | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
| |
| − | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
| |
| − | sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a
| |
| − | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
| |
| − | patent against the party.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
| |
| − | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
| |
| − | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
| |
| − | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
| |
| − | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
| |
| − | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
| |
| − | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
| |
| − | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
| |
| − | license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have
| |
| − | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
| |
| − | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
| |
| − | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
| |
| − | country that you have reason to believe are valid.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
| |
| − | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
| |
| − | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
| |
| − | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
| |
| − | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
| |
| − | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
| |
| − | work and works based on it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within
| |
| − | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
| |
| − | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
| |
| − | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
| |
| − | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
| |
| − | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
| |
| − | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
| |
| − | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
| |
| − | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
| |
| − | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
| |
| − | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
| |
| − | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
| |
| − | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
| |
| − | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
| |
| − | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
| |
| − | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
| |
| − | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
| |
| − | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
| |
| − | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
| |
| − | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
| |
| − | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
| |
| − | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
| |
| − | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
| |
| − | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
| |
| − | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
| |
| − | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
| |
| − | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
| |
| − | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
| |
| − | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
| |
| − | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
| |
| − | combination as such.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>14. Revised Versions of this License.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
| |
| − | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
| |
| − | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
| |
| − | address new problems or concerns.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
| |
| − | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
| |
| − | Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the
| |
| − | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
| |
| − | version or of any later version published by the Free Software
| |
| − | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
| |
| − | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
| |
| − | by the Free Software Foundation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
| |
| − | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
| |
| − | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
| |
| − | to choose that version for the Program.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Later license versions may give you additional or different
| |
| − | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
| |
| − | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
| |
| − | later version.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>15. Disclaimer of Warranty.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
| |
| − | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
| |
| − | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
| |
| − | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
| |
| − | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
| |
| − | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
| |
| − | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
| |
| − | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>16. Limitation of Liability.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
| |
| − | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
| |
| − | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
| |
| − | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
| |
| − | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
| |
| − | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
| |
| − | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
| |
| − | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
| |
| − | SUCH DAMAGES.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h4>17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.</h4>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
| |
| − | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
| |
| − | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
| |
| − | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
| |
| − | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
| |
| − | copy of the Program in return for a fee.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <h3>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs</h3>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
| |
| − | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
| |
| − | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
| |
| − | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
| |
| − | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
| |
| − | the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <pre> <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
| |
| − | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
| |
| − | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
| |
| − | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
| |
| − | (at your option) any later version.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
| |
| − | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
| |
| − | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
| |
| − | GNU General Public License for more details.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
| |
| − | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
| |
| − | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <pre> <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
| |
| − | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
| |
| − | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
| |
| − | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
| |
| − | </pre>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
| |
| − | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
| |
| − | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
| |
| − | if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary.
| |
| − | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
| |
| − | <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
| |
| − | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
| |
| − | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
| |
| − | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
| |
| − | Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
| |
| − | <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
