6 Preamble
7
8 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
9software and other kinds of works.
10
11 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
12to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
13the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
14share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
15software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
16GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
17any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
18your programs, too.
19
20 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
21price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
22have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
23them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
24want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
25free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
26
27 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
28these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
29certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
30you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
31
32 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
33gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
34freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
35or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
36know their rights.
37
38 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
39(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
40giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
41
42 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
43that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
44authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
45changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
46authors of previous versions.
47
48 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
49modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
50can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
51protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
52pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
53use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
54have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
55products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
56stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
57of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
58
59 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
60States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
61software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
62avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
63make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
64patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
65
66 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
67modification follow.
68
69 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
70
71 0. Definitions.
72
73 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
74
75 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
76works, such as semiconductor masks.
77
78 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
79License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
80"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
81
82 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
83in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
84exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
85earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
86
87 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
88on the Program.
89
90 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
91permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
92infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
93computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
94distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
95public, and in some countries other activities as well.
96
97 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
98parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
99a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
100
101 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
102to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
103feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
104tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
105extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
106work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
107the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
108menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
109
110 1. Source Code.
111
112 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
113for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
114form of a work.
115
116 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
117standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
118interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
119is widely used among developers working in that language.
120
121 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
122than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
123packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
124Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
125Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
126implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
127"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
128(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
129(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
130produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
131
132 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
133the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
134work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
135control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
136System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
137programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
138which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
139includes interface definition files associated with source files for
140the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
141linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
142such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
143subprograms and other parts of the work.
144
145 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
146can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
147Source.
148
149 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
150same work.
151
152 2. Basic Permissions.
153
154 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
155copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
156conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
157permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
158covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
159content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
160rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
161
162 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
163convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
164in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
165of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
166with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
167the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
168not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
169for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
170and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
171your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
172
173 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
174the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
175makes it unnecessary.
176
177 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
178
179 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
180measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
18111 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
182similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
183measures.
184
185 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
186circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
187is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
188the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
189modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
190users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
191technological measures.
192
193 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
194
195 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
196receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
197appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
198keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
199non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
200keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
201recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
202
203 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
204and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
205
206 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
207
208 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
209produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
210terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
211
212 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
213 it, and giving a relevant date.
214
215 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
216 released under this License and any conditions added under section
217 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
218 "keep intact all notices".
219
220 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
221 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
222 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
223 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
224 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
225 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
226 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
227
228 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
229 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
230 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
231 work need not make them do so.
232
233 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
234works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
235and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
236in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
237"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
238used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
239beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
240in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
241parts of the aggregate.
242
243 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
244
245 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
246of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
247machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
248in one of these ways:
249
250 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
251 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
252 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
253 customarily used for software interchange.
254
255 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
256 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
257 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
258 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
259 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
260 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
261 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
262 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
263 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
264 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
265 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
266
267 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
268 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
269 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
270 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
271 with subsection 6b.
272
273 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
274 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
275 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
276 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
277 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
278 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
279 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
280 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
281 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
282 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
283 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
284 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
285
286 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
287 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
288 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
289 charge under subsection 6d.
290
291 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
292from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
293included in conveying the object code work.
294
295 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
296tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
297or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
298into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
299doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
300product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
301typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
302of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
303actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
304is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
305commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
306the only significant mode of use of the product.
307
308 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
309procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
310and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
311a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
312suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
313code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
314modification has been made.
315
316 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
317specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
318part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
319User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
320fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
321Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
322by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
323if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
324modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
325been installed in ROM).
326
327 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
328requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
329for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
330the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
331network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
332adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
333protocols for communication across the network.
334
335 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
336in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
337documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
338source code form), and must require no special password or key for
339unpacking, reading or copying.
340
341 7. Additional Terms.
342
343 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
344License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
345Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
346be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
347that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
348apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
349under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
350this License without regard to the additional permissions.
351
352 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
353remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
354it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
355removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
356additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
357for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
358
359 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
360add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
361that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
362
363 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
364 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
365
366 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
367 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
368 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
369
370 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
371 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
372 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
373
374 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
375 authors of the material; or
376
377 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
378 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
379
380 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
381 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
382 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
383 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
384 those licensors and authors.
385
386 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
387restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
388received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
389governed by this License along with a term that is a further
390restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
391a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
392License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
393of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
394not survive such relicensing or conveying.
395
396 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
397must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
398additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
399where to find the applicable terms.
400
401 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
402form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
403the above requirements apply either way.
404
405 8. Termination.
406
407 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
408provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
409modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
410this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
411paragraph of section 11).
412
413 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
414license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
415provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
416finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
417holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
418prior to 60 days after the cessation.
419
420 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
421reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
422violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
423received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
424copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
425your receipt of the notice.
426
427 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
428licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
429this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
430reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
431material under section 10.
432
433 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
434
435 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
436run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
437occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
438to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
439nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
440modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
441not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
442covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
443
444 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
445
446 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
447receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
448propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
449for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
450
451 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
452organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
453organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
454work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
455transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
456licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
457give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
458Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
459the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
460
461 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
462rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
463not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
464rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
465(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
466any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
467sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
468
469 11. Patents.
470
471 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
472License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
473work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
474
475 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
476owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
477hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
478by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
479but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
480consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
481purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
482patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
483this License.
484
485 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
486patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
487make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
488propagate the contents of its contributor version.
489
490 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
491agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
492(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
493sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
494party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
495patent against the party.
496
497 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
498and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
499to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
500publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
501then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
502available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
503patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
504consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
505license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
506actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
507covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
508in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
509country that you have reason to believe are valid.
510
511 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
512arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
513covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
514receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
515or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
516you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
517work and works based on it.
518
519 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
520the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
521conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
522specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
523work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
524in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
525to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
526the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
527parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
528patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
529conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
530for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
531contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
532or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
533
534 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
535any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
536otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
537
538 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
539
540 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
541otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
542excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
543covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
544License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
545not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
546to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
547the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
548License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
549
550 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
551
552 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
553permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
554under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
555combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
556License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
557but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
558section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
559combination as such.
560
561 14. Revised Versions of this License.
562
563 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
564the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
565be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
566address new problems or concerns.
567
568 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
569Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
570Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
571option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
572version or of any later version published by the Free Software
573Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
574GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
575by the Free Software Foundation.
576
577 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
578versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
579public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
580to choose that version for the Program.
581
582 Later license versions may give you additional or different
583permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
584author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
585later version.
586
587 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
588
589 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
590APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
591HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
592OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
593THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
594PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
595IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
596ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
597
598 16. Limitation of Liability.
599
600 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
601WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
602THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
603GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
604USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
605DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
606PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
607EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
608SUCH DAMAGES.
609
610 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
611
612 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
613above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
614reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
615an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
616Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
617copy of the Program in return for a fee.
618
619 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
620
621 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
622
623 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
624possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
625free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
626
627 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
628to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
629state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
630the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
631
632 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
633 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
634
635 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
636 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
637 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
638 (at your option) any later version.
639
640 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
641 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
642 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
643 GNU General Public License for more details.
644
645 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
646 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
647
648Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
649
650 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
651notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
652
653 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
654 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
655 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
656 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
657
658The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
659parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
660might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
661
662 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
663if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
664For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
665<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
666
667 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
668into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
669may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
670the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
671Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
672<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
