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

|

646 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

648 | GNU General Public License for more details.

649 |
|

650 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
---|

|
---|
652 |
|
---|
653 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
---|
654 |
|
---|
655 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
|
---|
656 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
---|
657 |
|
---|
658 | <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

---|
659 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
---|
660 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
---|
661 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
---|
662 |
|
---|
663 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
---|
664 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
|
---|
665 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
|
---|
666 |
|
---|
667 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
|
---|
668 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.

|
---|
672 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
|
---|
673 | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
|
---|
674 | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
|
---|
675 | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
