5 Preamble
6
7 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
8software and other kinds of works.
9
10 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
11to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
12the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
13share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
14software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
15GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
16any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
17your programs, too.
18
19 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
20price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
21have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
22them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
23want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
24free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
25
26 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
27these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
28certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
29you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
30
31 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
32gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
33freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
34or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
35know their rights.
36
37 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
38(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
39giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
40
41 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
42that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
43authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
44changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
45authors of previous versions.
46
47 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
48modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
49can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
50protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
51pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
52use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
53have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
54products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
55stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
56of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
57
58 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
59States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
60software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
61avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
62make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
63patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
64
65 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
66modification follow.
67
68 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
69
70 0. Definitions.
71
72 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
73
74 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
75works, such as semiconductor masks.
76
77 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
78License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
79"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
80
81 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
82in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
83exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
84earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
85
86 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
87on the Program.
88
89 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
90permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
91infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
92computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
93distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
94public, and in some countries other activities as well.
95
96 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
97parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
98a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
99
100 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
101to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
102feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
103tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
104extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
105work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
106the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
107menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
108
109 1. Source Code.
110
111 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
112for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
113form of a work.
114
115 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
116standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
117interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
118is widely used among developers working in that language.
119
120 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
121than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
122packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
123Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
124Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
125implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
126"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
127(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
128(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
129produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
130
131 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
132the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
133work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
134control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
135System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
136programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
137which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
138includes interface definition files associated with source files for
139the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
140linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
141such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
142subprograms and other parts of the work.
143
144 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
145can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
146Source.
147
148 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
149same work.
150
151 2. Basic Permissions.
152
153 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
154copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
155conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
156permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
157covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
158content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
159rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
160
161 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
162convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
163in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
164of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
165with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
166the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
167not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
168for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
169and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
170your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
171
172 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
173the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
174makes it unnecessary.
175
176 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
177
178 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
179measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
18011 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
181similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
182measures.
183
184 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
185circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
186is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
187the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
188modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
189users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
190technological measures.
191
192 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
193
194 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
195receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
196appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
197keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
198non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
199keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
200recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
201
202 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
203and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
204
205 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
206
207 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
208produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
209terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
210
211 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
212 it, and giving a relevant date.
213
214 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
215 released under this License and any conditions added under section
216 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
217 "keep intact all notices".
218
219 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
220 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
221 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
222 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
223 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
224 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
225 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
226
227 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
228 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
229 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
230 work need not make them do so.
231
232 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
233works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
234and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
235in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
236"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
237used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
238beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
239in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
240parts of the aggregate.
241
242 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
243
244 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
245of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
246machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
247in one of these ways:
248
249 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
250 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
251 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
252 customarily used for software interchange.
253
254 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
255 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
256 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
257 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
258 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
259 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
260 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
261 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
262 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
263 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
264 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
265
266 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
267 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
268 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
269 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
270 with subsection 6b.
271
272 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
273 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
274 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
275 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
276 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
277 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
278 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
279 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
280 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
281 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
282 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
283 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
284
285 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
286 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
287 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
288 charge under subsection 6d.
289
290 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
291from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
292included in conveying the object code work.
293
294 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
295tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
296or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
297into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
298doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
299product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
300typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
301of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
302actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
303is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
304commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
305the only significant mode of use of the product.
306
307 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
308procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
309and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
310a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
311suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
312code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
313modification has been made.
314
315 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
316specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
317part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
318User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
319fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
320Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
321by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
322if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
323modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
324been installed in ROM).
325
326 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
327requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
328for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
329the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
330network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
331adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
332protocols for communication across the network.
333
334 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
335in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
336documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
337source code form), and must require no special password or key for
338unpacking, reading or copying.
339
340 7. Additional Terms.
341
342 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
343License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
344Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
345be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
346that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
347apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
348under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
349this License without regard to the additional permissions.
350
351 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
352remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
353it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
354removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
355additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
356for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
357
358 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
359add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
360that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
361
362 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
363 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
364
365 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
366 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
367 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
368
369 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
370 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
371 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
372
373 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
374 authors of the material; or
375
376 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
377 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
378
379 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
380 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
381 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
382 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
383 those licensors and authors.
384
385 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
386restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
387received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
388governed by this License along with a term that is a further
389restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
390a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
391License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
392of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
393not survive such relicensing or conveying.
394
395 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
396must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
397additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
398where to find the applicable terms.
399
400 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
401form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
402the above requirements apply either way.
403
404 8. Termination.
405
406 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
407provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
408modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
409this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
410paragraph of section 11).
411
412 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
413license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
414provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
415finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
416holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
417prior to 60 days after the cessation.
418
419 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
420reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
421violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
422received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
423copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
424your receipt of the notice.
425
426 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
427licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
428this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
429reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
430material under section 10.
431
432 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
433
434 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
435run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
436occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
437to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
438nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
439modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
440not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
441covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
442
443 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
444
445 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
446receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
447propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
448for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
449
450 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
451organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
452organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
453work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
454transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
455licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
456give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
457Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
458the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
459
460 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
461rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
462not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
463rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
464(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
465any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
466sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
467
468 11. Patents.
469
470 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
471License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
472work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
473
474 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
475owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
476hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
477by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
478but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
479consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
480purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
481patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
482this License.
483
484 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
485patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
486make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
487propagate the contents of its contributor version.
488
489 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
490agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
491(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
492sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
493party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
494patent against the party.
495
496 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
497and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
498to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
499publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
500then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
501available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
502patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
503consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
504license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
505actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
506covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
507in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
508country that you have reason to believe are valid.
509
510 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
511arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
512covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
513receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
514or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
515you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
516work and works based on it.
517
518 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
519the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
520conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
521specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
522work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
523in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
524to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
525the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
526parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
527patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
528conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
529for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
530contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
531or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
532
533 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
534any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
535otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
536
537 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
538
539 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
540otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
541excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
542covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
543License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
544not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
545to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
546the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
547License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
548
549 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
550
551 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
552permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
553under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
554combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
555License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
556but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
557section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
558combination as such.
559
560 14. Revised Versions of this License.
561
562 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
563the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
564be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
565address new problems or concerns.
566
567 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
568Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
569Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
570option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
571version or of any later version published by the Free Software
572Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
573GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
574by the Free Software Foundation.
575
576 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
577versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
578public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
579to choose that version for the Program.
580
581 Later license versions may give you additional or different
582permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
583author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
584later version.
585
586 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
587
588 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
589APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
590HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
591OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
592THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
593PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
594IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
595ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
596
597 16. Limitation of Liability.
598
599 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
600WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
601THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
602GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
603USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
604DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
605PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
606EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
607SUCH DAMAGES.
608
609 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
610
611 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
612above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
613reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
614an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
615Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
616copy of the Program in return for a fee.
617
618 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

620 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
621
622 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
623possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
624free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
625
626 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
627to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
628state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
629the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
630
631 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
632 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
633
634 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
635 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
636 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
637 (at your option) any later version.
638
639 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
640 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
641 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
642 GNU General Public License for more details.
643
644 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
645 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
646
647Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
648
649 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
650notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
651
652 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
653 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
654 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
655 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
656
657The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
658parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
659might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
660
661 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
662if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
663For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
664<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
665
666 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
667into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
668may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
669the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
670Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
671<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
