| | 11 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| | 12 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
| | 15 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
| | 16 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| | 17 | |
| | 18 | Preamble |
| | 19 | |
| | 20 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for |
| | 21 | software and other kinds of works. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed |
| | 24 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
| | 25 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
| | 26 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
| | 27 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
| | 28 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
| | 29 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
| | 30 | your programs, too. |
| | 31 | |
| | 32 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| | 33 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
| | 34 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
| | 35 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
| | 36 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
| | 37 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you |
| | 40 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
| | 41 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
| | 42 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
| | 43 | |
| | 44 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
| | 45 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
| | 46 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
| | 47 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
| | 48 | know their rights. |
| | 49 | |
| | 50 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
| | 51 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
| | 52 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
| | 53 | |
| | 54 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
| | 55 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
| | 56 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
| | 57 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
| | 58 | authors of previous versions. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
| | 61 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
| | 62 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
| | 63 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
| | 64 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
| | 65 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
| | 66 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
| | 67 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
| | 68 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
| | 69 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
| | 72 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
| | 73 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
| | 74 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
| | 75 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
| | 76 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| | 79 | modification follow. |
| | 80 | |
| | 81 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| | 82 | |
| | 83 | 0. Definitions. |
| | 84 | |
| | 85 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
| | 86 | |
| | 87 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
| | 88 | works, such as semiconductor masks. |
| | 89 | |
| | 90 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
| | 91 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
| | 92 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
| | 93 | |
| | 94 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
| | 95 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
| | 96 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |
| | 97 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. |
| | 98 | |
| | 99 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
| | 100 | on the Program. |
| | 101 | |
| | 102 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
| | 103 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
| | 104 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
| | 105 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
| | 106 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
| | 107 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
| | 108 | |
| | 109 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |
| | 110 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
| | 111 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
| | 112 | |
| | 113 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
| | 114 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
| | 115 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
| | 116 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
| | 117 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
| | 118 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
| | 119 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
| | 120 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
| | 121 | |
| | 122 | 1. Source Code. |
| | 123 | |
| | 124 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |
| | 125 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
| | 126 | form of a work. |
| | 127 | |
| | 128 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
| | 129 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
| | 130 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
| | 131 | is widely used among developers working in that language. |
| | 132 | |
| | 133 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
| | 134 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
| | 135 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
| | 136 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
| | 137 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
| | 138 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
| | 139 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
| | 140 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
| | 141 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
| | 142 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
| | 143 | |
| | 144 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
| | 145 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
| | 146 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
| | 147 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
| | 148 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
| | 149 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
| | 150 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
| | 151 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
| | 152 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
| | 153 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
| | 154 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
| | 155 | subprograms and other parts of the work. |
| | 156 | |
| | 157 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
| | 158 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
| | 159 | Source. |
| | 160 | |
| | 161 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
| | 162 | same work. |
| | 163 | |
| | 164 | 2. Basic Permissions. |
| | 165 | |
| | 166 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
| | 167 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
| | 168 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
| | 169 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
| | 170 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
| | 171 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
| | 172 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
| | 173 | |
| | 174 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |
| | 175 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
| | 176 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
| | 177 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
| | 178 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
| | 179 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
| | 180 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
| | 181 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
| | 182 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
| | 183 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
| | 184 | |
| | 185 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
| | 186 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
| | 187 | makes it unnecessary. |
| | 188 | |
| | 189 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
| | 190 | |
| | 191 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
| | 192 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
| | 193 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
| | 194 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
| | 195 | measures. |
| | 196 | |
| | 197 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
| | 198 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
| | 199 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
| | 200 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
| | 201 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
| | 202 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
| | 203 | technological measures. |
| | 204 | |
| | 205 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
| | 206 | |
| | 207 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
| | 208 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| | 209 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
| | 210 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
| | 211 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
| | 212 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
| | 213 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
| | 214 | |
| | 215 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
| | 216 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
| | 217 | |
| | 218 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
| | 219 | |
| | 220 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to |
| | 221 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
| | 222 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
| | 223 | |
| | 224 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified |
| | 225 | it, and giving a relevant date. |
| | 226 | |
| | 227 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is |
| | 228 | released under this License and any conditions added under section |
| | 229 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to |
| | 230 | "keep intact all notices". |
| | 231 | |
| | 232 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this |
| | 233 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This |
| | 234 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 |
| | 235 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, |
| | 236 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no |
| | 237 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not |
| | 238 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
| | 239 | |
| | 240 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
| | 241 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
| | 242 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your |
| | 243 | work need not make them do so. |
| | 244 | |
| | 245 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
| | 246 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
| | 247 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, |
| | 248 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an |
| | 249 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not |
| | 250 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users |
| | 251 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work |
| | 252 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
| | 253 | parts of the aggregate. |
| | 254 | |
| | 255 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
| | 256 | |
| | 257 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms |
| | 258 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the |
| | 259 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, |
| | 260 | in one of these ways: |
| | 261 | |
| | 262 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
| | 263 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the |
| | 264 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium |
| | 265 | customarily used for software interchange. |
| | 266 | |
| | 267 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
| | 268 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a |
| | 269 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as |
| | 270 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product |
| | 271 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a |
| | 272 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the |
| | 273 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical |
| | 274 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
| | 275 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this |
| | 276 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the |
| | 277 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. |
| | 278 | |
| | 279 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the |
| | 280 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This |
| | 281 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and |
| | 282 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord |
| | 283 | with subsection 6b. |
| | 284 | |
| | 285 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated |
| | 286 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the |
| | 287 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no |
| | 288 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the |
| | 289 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to |
| | 290 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source |
| | 291 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) |
| | 292 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain |
| | 293 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
| | 294 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
| | 295 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is |
| | 296 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. |
| | 297 | |
| | 298 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided |
| | 299 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding |
| | 300 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no |
| | 301 | charge under subsection 6d. |
| | 302 | |
| | 303 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded |
| | 304 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be |
| | 305 | included in conveying the object code work. |
| | 306 | |
| | 307 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any |
| | 308 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, |
| | 309 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation |
| | 310 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, |
| | 311 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular |
| | 312 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a |
| | 313 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status |
| | 314 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user |
| | 315 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product |
| | 316 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial |
| | 317 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent |
| | 318 | the only significant mode of use of the product. |
| | 319 | |
| | 320 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, |
| | 321 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install |
| | 322 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from |
| | 323 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must |
| | 324 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object |
| | 325 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because |
| | 326 | modification has been made. |
| | 327 | |
| | 328 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
| | 329 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as |
| | 330 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the |
| | 331 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a |
| | 332 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the |
| | 333 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied |
| | 334 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply |
| | 335 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install |
| | 336 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has |
| | 337 | been installed in ROM). |
| | 338 | |
| | 339 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
| | 340 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates |
| | 341 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for |
| | 342 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a |
| | 343 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and |
| | 344 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and |
| | 345 | protocols for communication across the network. |
| | 346 | |
| | 347 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, |
| | 348 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly |
| | 349 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in |
| | 350 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for |
| | 351 | unpacking, reading or copying. |
| | 352 | |
| | 353 | 7. Additional Terms. |
| | 354 | |
| | 355 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this |
| | 356 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. |
| | 357 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall |
| | 358 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent |
| | 359 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions |
| | 360 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately |
| | 361 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by |
| | 362 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. |
| | 363 | |
| | 364 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option |
| | 365 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of |
| | 366 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own |
| | 367 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place |
| | 368 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, |
| | 369 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. |
| | 370 | |
| | 371 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you |
| | 372 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of |
| | 373 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: |
| | 374 | |
| | 375 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the |
| | 376 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
| | 377 | |
| | 378 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or |
| | 379 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal |
| | 380 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or |
| | 381 | |
| | 382 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
| | 383 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in |
| | 384 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or |
| | 385 | |
| | 386 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or |
| | 387 | authors of the material; or |
| | 388 | |
| | 389 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some |
| | 390 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
| | 391 | |
| | 392 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that |
| | 393 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of |
| | 394 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for |
| | 395 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on |
| | 396 | those licensors and authors. |
| | 397 | |
| | 398 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further |
| | 399 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you |
| | 400 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is |
| | 401 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further |
| | 402 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains |
| | 403 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this |
| | 404 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms |
| | 405 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does |
| | 406 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. |
| | 407 | |
| | 408 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you |
| | 409 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the |
| | 410 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating |
| | 411 | where to find the applicable terms. |
| | 412 | |
| | 413 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the |
| | 414 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; |
| | 415 | the above requirements apply either way. |
| | 416 | |
| | 417 | 8. Termination. |
| | 418 | |
| | 419 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly |
| | 420 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or |
| | 421 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under |
| | 422 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third |
| | 423 | paragraph of section 11). |
| | 424 | |
| | 425 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your |
| | 426 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) |
| | 427 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and |
| | 428 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright |
| | 429 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means |
| | 430 | prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
| | 431 | |
| | 432 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is |
| | 433 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the |
| | 434 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have |
| | 435 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that |
| | 436 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after |
| | 437 | your receipt of the notice. |
| | 438 | |
| | 439 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the |
| | 440 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under |
| | 441 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently |
| | 442 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same |
| | 443 | material under section 10. |
| | 444 | |
| | 445 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
| | 446 | |
| | 447 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or |
| | 448 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work |
| | 449 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission |
| | 450 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, |
| | 451 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or |
| | 452 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do |
| | 453 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a |
| | 454 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. |
| | 455 | |
| | 456 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
| | 457 | |
| | 458 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically |
| | 459 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and |
| | 460 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible |
| | 461 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. |
| | 462 | |
| | 463 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an |
| | 464 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
| | 465 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered |
| | 466 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that |
| | 467 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever |
| | 468 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could |
| | 469 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the |
| | 470 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if |
| | 471 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
| | 472 | |
| | 473 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the |
| | 474 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may |
| | 475 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of |
| | 476 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation |
| | 477 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
| | 478 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for |
| | 479 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. |
| | 480 | |
| | 481 | 11. Patents. |
| | 482 | |
| | 483 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this |
| | 484 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The |
| | 485 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". |
| | 486 | |
| | 487 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims |
| | 488 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or |
| | 489 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted |
| | 490 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, |
| | 491 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a |
| | 492 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For |
| | 493 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant |
| | 494 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
| | 495 | this License. |
| | 496 | |
| | 497 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
| | 498 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
| | 499 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
| | 500 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. |
| | 501 | |
| | 502 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express |
| | 503 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent |
| | 504 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to |
| | 505 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a |
| | 506 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a |
| | 507 | patent against the party. |
| | 508 | |
| | 509 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, |
| | 510 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone |
| | 511 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a |
| | 512 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, |
| | 513 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so |
| | 514 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the |
| | 515 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner |
| | 516 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
| | 517 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have |
| | 518 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the |
| | 519 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work |
| | 520 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that |
| | 521 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. |
| | 522 | |
| | 523 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or |
| | 524 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a |
| | 525 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties |
| | 526 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify |
| | 527 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license |
| | 528 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered |
| | 529 | work and works based on it. |
| | 530 | |
| | 531 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within |
| | 532 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is |
| | 533 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are |
| | 534 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered |
| | 535 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is |
| | 536 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment |
| | 537 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying |
| | 538 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
| | 539 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
| | 540 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work |
| | 541 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily |
| | 542 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that |
| | 543 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, |
| | 544 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. |
| | 545 | |
| | 546 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting |
| | 547 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may |
| | 548 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. |
| | 549 | |
| | 550 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
| | 551 | |
| | 552 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
| | 553 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
| | 554 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
| | 555 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
| | 556 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
| | 557 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
| | 558 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
| | 559 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
| | 560 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
| | 561 | |
| | 562 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. |
| | 563 | |
| | 564 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
| | 565 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
| | 566 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
| | 567 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this |
| | 568 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
| | 569 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
| | 570 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
| | 571 | combination as such. |
| | 572 | |
| | 573 | 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
| | 574 | |
| | 575 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of |
| | 576 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
| | 577 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
| | 578 | address new problems or concerns. |
| | 579 | |
| | 580 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
| | 581 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
| | 582 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the |
| | 583 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
| | 584 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
| | 585 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
| | 586 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
| | 587 | by the Free Software Foundation. |
| | 588 | |
| | 589 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future |
| | 590 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
| | 591 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
| | 592 | to choose that version for the Program. |
| | 593 | |
| | 594 | Later license versions may give you additional or different |
| | 595 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
| | 596 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
| | 597 | later version. |
| | 598 | |
| | 599 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
| | 600 | |
| | 601 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
| | 602 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
| | 603 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
| | 604 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |
| | 605 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
| | 606 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM |
| | 607 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF |
| | 608 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| | 609 | |
| | 610 | 16. Limitation of Liability. |
| | 611 | |
| | 612 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| | 613 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS |
| | 614 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
| | 615 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
| | 616 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
| | 617 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
| | 618 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), |
| | 619 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF |
| | 620 | SUCH DAMAGES. |
| | 621 | |
| | 622 | 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. |
| | 623 | |
| | 624 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided |
| | 625 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, |
| | 626 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates |
| | 627 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the |
| | 628 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a |
| | 629 | copy of the Program in return for a fee. |
| | 630 | |
| | 631 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| | 632 | |
| | 633 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| | 634 | |
| | 635 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| | 636 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| | 637 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| | 638 | |
| | 639 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
| | 640 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
| | 641 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
| | 642 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| | 643 | |
| | 644 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| | 645 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| | 646 | |
| | 647 | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify |
| | 648 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
| | 649 | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or |
| | 650 | (at your option) any later version. |
| | 651 | |
| | 652 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| | 653 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| | 654 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
| | 655 | GNU General Public License for more details. |
| | 656 | |
| | 657 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
| | 658 | along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| | 659 | |
| | 660 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| | 661 | |
| | 662 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short |
| | 663 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| | 664 | |
| | 665 | <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| | 666 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
| | 667 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
| | 668 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
| | 669 | |
| | 670 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
| | 671 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands |
| | 672 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". |
| | 673 | |
| | 674 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
| | 675 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. |
| | 676 | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see |
| | 677 | <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| | 678 | |
| | 679 | The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program |
| | 680 | into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you |
| | 681 | may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with |
| | 682 | the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
| | 683 | Public License instead of this License. But first, please read |
| | 684 | <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. |
