Version 3, 29 June 2007 |

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
| 9 |
document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and |
| 12 |
other kinds of works. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take |
| 15 |
away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General |
| 16 |
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all |
| 17 |
versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. |
| 18 |
We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most |
| 19 |
of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its |
| 20 |
authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our |
| 23 |
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
| 24 |
distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you |
| 25 |
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the |
| 26 |
software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do |
| 27 |
these things. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights |
| 30 |
or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain |
| 31 |
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: |
| 32 |
responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for |
| 35 |
a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. |
| 36 |
You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you |
| 37 |
must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert |
| 40 |
copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal |
| 41 |
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that |
| 44 |
there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, |
| 45 |
the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their |
| 46 |
problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified |
| 49 |
versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This |
| 50 |
is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to |
| 51 |
change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of |
| 52 |
products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most |
| 53 |
unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit |
| 54 |
the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other |
| 55 |
domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future |
| 56 |
versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States |
| 59 |
should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on |
| 60 |
general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special |
| 61 |
danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively |
| 62 |
proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to |
| 63 |
render the program non-free. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
| 66 |
follow. |
| 67 |
|

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

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| 585 |
============================================= |
| 586 |
|
| 587 |
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible |
| 588 |
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software |
| 589 |
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| 590 |
|
| 591 |
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach |
| 592 |
them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion |
| 593 |
of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a |
| 594 |
pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| 595 |
|
| 596 |
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
| 597 |
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| 598 |
|
| 599 |
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it |
| 600 |
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free |
| 601 |
Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) |
| 602 |
any later version. |
| 603 |
|
| 604 |
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT |
| 605 |
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or |
| 606 |
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for |
| 607 |
more details. |
| 608 |
|
| 609 |
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
| 610 |
with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| 611 |
|
| 612 |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| 613 |
|
| 614 |
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like |
| 615 |
this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| 616 |
|
| 617 |
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> This program comes with |
| 618 |
ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, |
| 619 |
and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show |
| 620 |
c' for details. |
| 621 |
|
| 622 |
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
| 623 |
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might |
| 624 |
be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”. |
| 625 |
|
| 626 |
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if |
| 627 |
any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more |
| 628 |
information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see |
| 629 |
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
| 630 |
|
| 631 |
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
| 632 |
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider |
| 633 |
it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If |
| 634 |
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead |
| 635 |
of this License. But first, please read |
| 636 |
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. |
