GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
3
 
4
Version 3, 29 June 2007
5
 
6
Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
7
 
8
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
9
license document, but changing it is not allowed.
10
 
11
Preamble
12
========
13
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and
14
other kinds of works.
15
 
16
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to
17
take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU
18
General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and
19
change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software
20
for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General
21
Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work
22
released this way by its authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
23
 
24
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
25
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
26
freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you
27
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
28
can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that
29
you know you can do these things.
30
 
31
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these
32
rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
33
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify
34
it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
35
 
36
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
37
for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you
38
received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
39
code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
40
 
41
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
42
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
43
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
44
 
45
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that
46
there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors'
47
sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that
48
their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous
49
versions.
50
 
51
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified
52
versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so.
53
This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users'
54
freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs
55
in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it
56
is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL
57
to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems arise
58
substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to
59
those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the
60
freedom of users.
61
 
62
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States
63
should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on
64
general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the
65
special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it
66
effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents
67
cannot be used to render the program non-free.
68
 
69
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
70
follow.
71
 
72
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
73
0. Definitions.
74
 
75
“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
76
 
77
“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
78
works, such as semiconductor masks.
79
 
80
“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
81
Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be
82
individuals or organizations.
83
 
84
To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a
85
fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact
86
copy. The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work
87
or a work “based on” the earlier work.
88
 
89
A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
90
Program.
91
 
92
To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
93
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement
94
under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or
95
modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with
96
or without modification), making available to the public, and in some
97
countries other activities as well.
98
 
99
To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties
100
to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
101
network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
102
 
103
An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
104
extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
105
(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that
106
there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
107
provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how
108
to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user
109
commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets
110
this criterion.
111
1. Source Code.
112
 
113
The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
114
making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
115
work.
116
 
117
A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
118
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
119
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is
120
widely used among developers working in that language.
121
 
122
The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than
123
the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a
124
Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b)
125
serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to
126
implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to
127
the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means
128
a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the
129
specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a
130
compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to
131
run it.
132
 
133
The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
134
source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run
135
the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those
136
activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or
137
general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used
138
unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the
139
work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files
140
associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
141
libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically
142
designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow
143
between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
144
 
145
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
146
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
147
 
148
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
149
 
150
2. Basic Permissions.
151
=====================
152
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright
153
on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.
154
This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the
155
unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by
156
this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered
157
work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other
158
equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
159
 
160
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
161
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You
162
may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make
163
modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for
164
running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this
165
License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright.
166
Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so
167
exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that
168
prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
169
their relationship with you.
170
 
171
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
172
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
173
unnecessary. 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
174
 
175
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure
176
under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the
177
WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws
178
prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
179
 
180
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
181
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
182
effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the
183
covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
184
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users,
185
your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
186
technological measures. 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
187
 
188
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive
189
it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
190
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all
191
notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in
192
accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the
193
absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License
194
along with the Program.
195
 
196
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
197
may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 5. Conveying Modified
198
Source Versions.
199
 
200
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce
201
it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section
202
4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
203
 
204
    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
205
and giving a relevant date. b) The work must carry prominent notices
206
stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added
207
under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
208
“keep intact all notices”. c) You must license the entire work, as a whole,
209
under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
210
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
211
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless
212
of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the
213
work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you
214
have separately received it. d) If the work has interactive user
215
interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the
216
Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
217
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
218
 
219
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
220
which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
221
not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of
222
a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the
223
compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or
224
legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works
225
permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
226
License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 6. Conveying
227
Non-Source Forms.
228
 
229
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
230
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
231
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
232
 
233
    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
234
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
235
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used
236
for software interchange. b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a
237
physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by
238
a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as
239
you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
240
anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding
241
Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License,
242
on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for
243
a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
244
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a
245
network server at no charge. c) Convey individual copies of the object code
246
with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
247
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if
248
you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection
249
6b. d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
250
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding
251
Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You
252
need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the
253
object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
254
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a
255
third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you
256
maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
257
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding
258
Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
259
needed to satisfy these requirements. e) Convey the object code using
260
peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object
261
code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
262
public at no charge under subsection 6d.
263
 
264
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from
265
the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in
266
conveying the object code work.
267
 
268
A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any
269
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
270
household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into
271
a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
272
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
273
product received by a particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical
274
or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the
275
particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses,
276
or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer
277
product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
278
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only
279
significant mode of use of the product.
280
 
281
“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
282
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
283
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a
284
modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice
285
to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in
286
no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been
287
made.
288
 
289
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
290
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part
291
of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User
292
Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
293
(regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
294
Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation
295
Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any
296
third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
297
Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
298
 
299
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
300
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
301
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the
302
User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
303
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely
304
affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols
305
for communication across the network.
306
 
307
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
308
accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
309
(and with an implementation available to the public in source code form),
310
and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
311
copying. 7. Additional Terms.
312
 
313
“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
314
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional
315
permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as
316
though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are
317
valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of
318
the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but
319
the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the
320
additional permissions.
321
 
322
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
323
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
324
permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases
325
when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on
326
material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give
327
appropriate copyright permission.
328
 
329
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add
330
to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that
331
material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
332
 
333
    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
334
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
335
    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
336
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
337
displayed by works containing it; or
338
    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
339
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable
340
ways as different from the original version; or
341
    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
342
authors of the material; or
343
    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
344
names, trademarks, or service marks; or f) Requiring indemnification of
345
licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material
346
(or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to
347
the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions
348
directly impose on those licensors and authors.
349
 
350
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
351
restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
352
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
353
governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
354
you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
355
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
356
may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
357
document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
358
relicensing or conveying.
359
 
360
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must
361
place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms
362
that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the
363
applicable terms.
364
 
365
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form
366
of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above
367
requirements apply either way. 8. Termination.
368
 
369
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
370
under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is
371
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License
372
(including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section
373
11).
374
 
375
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from
376
a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and
377
until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license,
378
and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the
379
violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
380
 
381
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
382
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
383
reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of
384
violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and
385
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
386
 
387
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
388
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this
389
License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
390
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
391
material under section 10. 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
392
 
393
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a
394
copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring
395
solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a
396
copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this
397
License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work.
398
These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
399
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your
400
acceptance of this License to do so. 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream
401
Recipients.
402
 
403
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
404
license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that
405
work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing
406
compliance by third parties with this License.
407
 
408
An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
409
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
410
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work
411
results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who
412
receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the
413
party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous
414
paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the
415
work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get
416
it with reasonable efforts.
417
 
418
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
419
granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
420
license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under
421
this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim
422
or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed
423
by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or
424
any portion of it. 11. Patents.
425
 
426
A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License
427
of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus
428
licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
429
 
430
A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
431
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter
432
acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this
433
License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not
434
include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
435
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition,
436
“control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
437
consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
440
license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use,
441
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the
442
contents of its contributor version.
443
 
444
In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
445
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such
446
as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for
447
patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to
448
make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the
449
party.
450
 
451
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and
452
the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy,
453
free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly
454
available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must
455
either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2)
456
arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this
457
particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the
458
requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
459
recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
460
for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or
461
your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one
462
or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to
463
believe are valid.
464
 
465
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement,
466
you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and
467
grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work
468
authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the
469
covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended
470
to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
471
 
472
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
473
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the
474
non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted
475
under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to
476
an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing
477
software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the
478
extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third
479
party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from
480
you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the
481
covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b)
482
primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
483
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that
484
patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
485
 
486
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any
487
implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
488
available to you under applicable patent law. 12. No Surrender of Others'
489
Freedom.
490
 
491
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
492
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
493
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
494
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
495
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
496
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
497
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
498
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
499
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 13. Use
500
with the GNU Affero General Public License.
501
 
502
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
503
link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of
504
the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to
505
convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply
506
to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the
507
GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction
508
through a network will apply to the combination as such. 14. Revised
509
Versions of this License.
510
 
511
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
512
GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
513
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
514
address new problems or concerns.
515
 
516
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
517
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License
518
“or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the
519
terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later
520
version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not
521
specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose
522
any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
523
 
524
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of
525
the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
526
of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that
527
version for the Program.
528
 
529
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
530
However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
531
holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. 15.
532
Disclaimer of Warranty.
533
 
534
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
535
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
536
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
537
EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
538
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
539
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
540
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
541
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. Limitation of Liability.
542
 
543
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
544
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE
545
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
546
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
547
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
548
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
549
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
550
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
551
SUCH DAMAGES. 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
552
 
553
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above
554
cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing
555
courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute
556
waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
557
warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in
558
return for a fee.
559
 
560
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
561
 
562
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
563
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
564
software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
565
 
566
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
567
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the
568
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright”
569
line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
570
 
571
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
572
Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

574
    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it
575
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
576
Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option)
577
any later version.
578
 
579
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
580
WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
581
or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General Public License
582
for more details.
583
 
584
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
585
with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
586
 
587
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
588
 
589
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice
590
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
591
 
592
    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author> This program comes
593
with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free
594
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
595
type `show c' for details.
596
 
597
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
598
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
599
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
600
 
601
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
602
if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For
603
more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
604
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
605
 
606
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
607
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
608
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
609
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public
610
License instead of this License. But first, please read
611
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.html>.
