4 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
5 Version 3, 29 June 2007
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
14software and other kinds of works.
15
16 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
17to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
18the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
19share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
20software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
21GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
22any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
23your programs, too.
24
25 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
26price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
27have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
28them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
29want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
30free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
31
32 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
33these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
34certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
35you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
36
37 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
38gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
39freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
40or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
41know 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
45giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
46
47 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
48that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
49authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
50changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
51authors of previous versions.
52
53 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
54modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
55can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
56protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
57pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
58use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
59have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
60products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
61stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
62of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
63
64 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
65States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
66software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
67avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
68make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
69patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
70
71 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
72modification 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
81works, such as semiconductor masks.
82
83 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
84License. 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
88in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
89exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
90earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
91
92 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
93on the Program.
94
95 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
96permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
97infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
98computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
99distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
100public, and in some countries other activities as well.
101
102 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
103parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
104a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
105
106 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
107to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
108feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
109tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
110extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
111work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
112the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
113menu, 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
118for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
119form of a work.
120
121 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
122standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
123interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
124is widely used among developers working in that language.
125
126 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
127than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
128packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
129Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
130Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
131implementation 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
135produce 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
138the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
139work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
140control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
141System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
142programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
143which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
144includes interface definition files associated with source files for
145the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
146linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
147such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
148subprograms and other parts of the work.
149
150 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
151can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
152Source.
153
154 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
155same work.
156
157 2. Basic Permissions.
158
159 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
160copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
161conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
162permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
163covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
164content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
165rights 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
168convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
169in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
170of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
171with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
172the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
173not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
174for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
175and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
176your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
177
178 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
179the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
180makes 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
185measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
18611 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
187similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
188measures.
189
190 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
191circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
192is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
193the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
194modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
195users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
196technological measures.
197
198 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
199
200 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
201receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
202appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
203keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
204non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
205keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
206recipients 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,
209and 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
214produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
215terms 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
239works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
240and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
241in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
242"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
243used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
244beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
245in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
246parts 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
251of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
252machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
253in 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
297from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
298included in conveying the object code work.
299
300 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
301tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
302or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
303into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
304doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
305product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
306typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
307of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
308actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
309is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
310commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
311the only significant mode of use of the product.
312
313 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
314procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
315and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
316a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
317suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
318code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
319modification has been made.
320
321 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
322specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
323part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
324User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
325fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
326Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
327by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
328if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
329modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
330been installed in ROM).
331
332 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
333requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
334for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
335the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
336network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
337adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
338protocols for communication across the network.
339
340 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
341in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
342documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
343source code form), and must require no special password or key for
344unpacking, reading or copying.
345
346 7. Additional Terms.
347
348 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
349License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
350Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
351be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
352that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
353apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
354under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
355this License without regard to the additional permissions.
356
357 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
358remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
359it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
360removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
361additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
362for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
363
364 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
365add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
366that 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
392restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
393received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
394governed by this License along with a term that is a further
395restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
396a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
397License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
398of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
399not survive such relicensing or conveying.
400
401 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
402must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
403additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
404where to find the applicable terms.
405
406 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
407form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
408the above requirements apply either way.
409
410 8. Termination.
411
412 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
413provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
414modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
415this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
416paragraph of section 11).
417
418 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
419license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
420provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
421finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
422holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
423prior to 60 days after the cessation.
424
425 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
426reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
427violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
428received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
429copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
430your receipt of the notice.
431
432 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
433licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
434this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
435reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
436material 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
441run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
442occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
443to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
444nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
445modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
446not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
447covered 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
452receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
453propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
454for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
455
456 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
457organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
458organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
459work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
460transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
461licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
462give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
463Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
464the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
465
466 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
467rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
468not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
469rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
470(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
471any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
472sale, 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
477License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
478work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
479
480 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
481owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
482hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
483by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
484but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
485consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
486purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
487patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
488this License.
489
490 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
491patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
492make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
493propagate the contents of its contributor version.
494
495 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
496agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
497(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
498sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
499party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
500patent against the party.
501
502 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
503and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
504to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
505publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
506then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
507available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
508patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
509consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
510license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
511actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
512covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
513in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
514country that you have reason to believe are valid.
515
516 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
517arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
518covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
519receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
520or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
521you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
522work and works based on it.
523
524 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
525the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
526conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
527specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
528work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
529in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
530to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
531the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
532parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
533patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
534conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
535for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
536contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
537or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
538
539 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
540any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
541otherwise 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
546otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
547excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
548covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
549License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
550not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
551to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
552the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
553License 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
558permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
559under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
560combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
561License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
562but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
563section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
564combination as such.
565
566 14. Revised Versions of this License.
567
568 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
569the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
570be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
571address new problems or concerns.
572
573 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
574Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
575Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
576option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
577version or of any later version published by the Free Software
578Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
579GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
580by the Free Software Foundation.
581
582 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
583versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
584public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
585to choose that version for the Program.
586
587 Later license versions may give you additional or different
588permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
589author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
590later version.
591
592 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
593
594 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
595APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
596HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
597OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
598THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
599PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
600IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
601ALL 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
606WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
607THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
608GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
609USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
610DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
611PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
612EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
613SUCH DAMAGES.
614
615 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
616
617 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
618above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
619reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
620an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
621Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
622copy 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
629possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
630free 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
633to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
634state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
635the "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>
639
640 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
641 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
642 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
643 (at your option) any later version.
644
645 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
646 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
647 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
648 GNU General Public License for more details.
649
650 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
651 along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
652
653Also 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
656notice 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
663The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
664parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
665might 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,
668if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
669For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
670<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
671
672 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
673into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
674may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
675the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
676Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
677<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
