          Version 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>

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.

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.

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>.
