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

@heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
678
 
679
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
680
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
681
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
682
terms.
683
 
684
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
685
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
686
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
687
the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
694
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
695
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
696
your option) any later version.
697
 
698
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
699
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
700
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU

702
 
703
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
704
along with this program.  If not, see @url{http://www.gnu.org/licenses/}.
705
@end smallexample
706
 
707
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
708
 
709
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
710
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
711
 
712
@smallexample
713
@var{program} Copyright (C) @var{year} @var{name of author}
714
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type @samp{show w}.
715
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
716
under certain conditions; type @samp{show c} for details.
717
@end smallexample
718
 
719
The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show
720
the appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your
721
program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
722
use an ``about box''.
723
 
724
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
725
if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if necessary.
726

728
 
729
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
730
program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine
731
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
732
applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use
733
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.  But
734
first, please read @url{http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html}.
