27 Copyright @copyright{} 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. @url{https://fsf.org/} |
3294 | 28 |
7016 | 29 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this |
30 license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
3294 | 31 @end display |
32 | |
7016 | 33 @heading Preamble |
34 | |
35 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
36 software and other kinds of works. | |
3294 | 37 |
7016 | 38 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed |
39 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
40 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom | |
41 to share and change all versions of a program---to make sure it remains | |
42 free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, | |
43 use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it | |
44 applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You | |
45 can apply it to your programs, too. | |
3294 | 46 |
7016 | 47 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
3294 | 48 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
49 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
7016 | 50 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
51 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | |
52 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | |
53 | |
54 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | |
55 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you | |
56 have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the | |
57 software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom | |
58 of others. | |
3294 | 59 |
7016 | 60 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
61 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | |
62 freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, | |
63 receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these | |
64 terms so they know their rights. | |
3294 | 65 |
7016 | 66 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
67 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | |
68 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | |
3294 | 69 |
7016 | 70 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
71 that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | |
72 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | |
73 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | |
74 authors of previous versions. | |
3294 | 75 |
7016 | 76 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
77 modified versions of the software inside them, although the | |
78 manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the | |
79 aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The | |
80 systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for | |
81 individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. | |
82 Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the | |
83 practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in | |
84 other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those | |
85 domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the | |
86 freedom of users. | |
3294 | 87 |
7016 | 88 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
89 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | |
90 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish | |
91 to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program | |
92 could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL | |
93 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | |
3294 | 94 |
7016 | 95 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
3294 | 96 modification follow. |
97 | |
7016 | 98 @heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
3294 | 99 |
100 @enumerate 0 | |
7016 | 101 @item Definitions. |
102 | |
103 ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
104 | |
105 ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds | |
106 of works, such as semiconductor masks. | |
107 | |
108 ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | |
109 License. Each licensee is addressed as ``you''. ``Licensees'' and | |
110 ``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations. | |
111 | |
112 To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | |
113 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of | |
114 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a ``modified version'' of | |
115 the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work. | |
116 | |
117 A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based | |
118 on the Program. | |
119 | |
120 To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without | |
121 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | |
122 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | |
123 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | |
124 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | |
125 public, and in some countries other activities as well. | |
126 | |
127 To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | |
128 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user | |
129 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not | |
130 conveying. | |
3294 | 131 |
7016 | 132 An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices'' to |
133 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | |
134 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | |
135 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
136 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | |
137 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | |
138 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
139 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | |
140 | |
141 @item Source Code. | |
142 | |
143 The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
144 making modifications to it. ``Object code'' means any non-source form | |
145 of a work. | |
146 | |
147 A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official | |
148 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | |
149 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | |
150 is widely used among developers working in that language. | |
151 | |
152 The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other | |
153 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | |
154 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
155 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | |
156 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | |
157 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | |
158 ``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component | |
159 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | |
160 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | |
161 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | |
3294 | 162 |
7016 | 163 The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all |
164 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
165 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | |
166 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | |
167 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | |
168 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | |
169 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
170 includes interface definition files associated with source files for | |
171 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | |
172 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | |
173 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | |
174 subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
175 | |
176 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | |
177 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | |
178 | |
179 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | |
180 work. | |
181 | |
182 @item Basic Permissions. | |
183 | |
184 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | |
185 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | |
186 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | |
187 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | |
188 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
189 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | |
190 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | |
191 | |
192 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | |
193 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | |
194 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | |
195 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | |
196 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | |
197 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | |
198 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | |
199 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | |
200 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | |
201 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | |
3294 | 202 |
7016 | 203 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the |
204 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 | |
205 makes it unnecessary. | |
206 | |
207 @item Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | |
208 | |
209 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | |
210 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | |
211 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
212 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | |
213 measures. | |
214 | |
215 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | |
216 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | |
217 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | |
218 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | |
219 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | |
220 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | |
221 circumvention of technological measures. | |
3294 | 222 |
7016 | 223 @item Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
224 | |
225 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | |
226 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
227 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | |
228 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
229 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | |
230 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | |
231 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | |
232 | |
233 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | |
234 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | |
235 | |
236 @item Conveying Modified Source Versions. | |
237 | |
238 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | |
239 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | |
240 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | |
241 conditions: | |

7016 | 245 The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, |
246 and giving a relevant date. | |
3294 | 247 |
248 @item | |
7016 | 249 The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released |
250 under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This | |
251 requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to ``keep intact all | |
252 notices''. | |
3294 | 253 |
254 @item | |
7016 | 255 You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to |
256 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will | |
257 therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, | |
258 to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they | |
259 are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in | |
260 any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have | |
261 separately received it. | |
262 | |
263 @item | |
264 If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | |
265 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | |
266 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work | |
267 need not make them do so. | |

7016 | 270 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
271 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | |
272 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | |
273 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | |
274 ``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | |
275 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | |
276 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | |
277 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | |
278 parts of the aggregate. | |
3294 | 279 |
7016 | 280 @item Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
3294 | 281 |
7016 | 282 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of |
283 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable | |
284 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these | |
285 ways: | |
3294 | 286 |
287 @enumerate a | |
288 @item | |
7016 | 289 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
290 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | |
291 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily | |
292 used for software interchange. | |
293 | |
294 @item | |
295 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | |
296 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written | |
297 offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you | |
298 offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give | |
299 anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the | |
300 Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is | |
301 covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used | |
302 for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable | |
303 cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access | |
304 to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | |
3294 | 305 |
306 @item | |
7016 | 307 Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written |
308 offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is | |
309 allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you | |
310 received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection | |
311 6b. | |
3294 | 312 |
313 @item | |
7016 | 314 Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place |
315 (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | |
316 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | |
317 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | |
318 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy | |
319 the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be | |
320 on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports | |
321 equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions | |
322 next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. | |
323 Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain | |
324 obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to | |
325 satisfy these requirements. | |
326 | |
327 @item | |
328 Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you | |
329 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of | |
330 the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under | |
331 subsection 6d. | |
332 | |
3294 | 333 @end enumerate |
334 | |
7016 | 335 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded |
336 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | |
337 included in conveying the object code work. | |
338 | |
339 A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means any | |
340 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, | |
341 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for | |
342 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a | |
343 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of | |
344 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, | |
345 ``normally used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of | |
346 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way | |
347 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected | |
348 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of | |
349 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or | |
350 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant | |
351 mode of use of the product. | |
352 | |
353 ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods, | |
354 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to | |
355 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User | |
356 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The | |
357 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of | |
358 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with | |
359 solely because modification has been made. | |
360 | |
361 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | |
362 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | |
363 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | |
364 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | |
365 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | |
366 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | |
367 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | |
368 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | |
369 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | |
370 been installed in ROM). | |
3294 | 371 |
7016 | 372 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
373 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or | |
374 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the | |
375 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or | |
376 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification | |
377 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network | |
378 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the | |
379 network. | |
380 | |
381 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | |
382 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | |
383 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | |
384 source code form), and must require no special password or key for | |
385 unpacking, reading or copying. | |
386 | |
387 @item Additional Terms. | |
388 | |
389 ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this | |
390 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | |
391 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | |
392 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | |
393 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | |
394 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | |
395 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | |
396 this License without regard to the additional permissions. | |
397 | |
398 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | |
399 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | |
400 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | |
401 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | |
402 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | |
403 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | |
404 | |
405 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | |
406 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders | |
407 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | |
408 | |
409 @enumerate a | |
410 @item | |
411 Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms | |
412 of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | |
3294 | 413 |
414 @item | |
7016 | 415 Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author |
416 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices | |
417 displayed by works containing it; or | |
3294 | 418 |
419 @item | |
7016 | 420 Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
421 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | |
422 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | |
3294 | 423 |
424 @item | |
7016 | 425 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or |
426 authors of the material; or | |
427 | |
428 @item | |
429 Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade | |
430 names, trademarks, or service marks; or | |
3294 | 431 |
432 @item | |
7016 | 433 Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by |
434 anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with | |
435 contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any | |
436 liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those | |
437 licensors and authors. | |
438 @end enumerate | |
439 | |
440 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further | |
441 restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | |
442 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | |
443 governed by this License along with a term that is a further | |
444 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | |
445 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | |
446 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | |
447 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | |
448 not survive such relicensing or conveying. | |
449 | |
450 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | |
451 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | |
452 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | |
453 where to find the applicable terms. | |
454 | |
455 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | |
456 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the | |
457 above requirements apply either way. | |
458 | |
459 @item Termination. | |
460 | |
461 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | |
462 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | |
463 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | |
464 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | |
465 paragraph of section 11). | |
466 | |
467 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license | |
468 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, | |
469 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally | |
470 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder | |
471 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to | |
472 60 days after the cessation. | |
3294 | 473 |
7016 | 474 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is |
475 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | |
476 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | |
477 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | |
478 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | |
479 your receipt of the notice. | |
480 | |
481 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | |
482 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | |
483 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | |
484 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | |
485 material under section 10. | |
486 | |
487 @item Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | |
488 | |
489 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run | |
490 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | |
491 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | |
492 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | |
493 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | |
494 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | |
495 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | |
496 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | |
497 | |
498 @item Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | |
499 | |
500 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | |
501 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | |
502 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | |
503 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | |
504 | |
505 An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an | |
506 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | |
507 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | |
508 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | |
509 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | |
510 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | |
511 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | |
512 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | |
513 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | |
514 | |
515 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | |
516 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | |
517 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | |
518 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | |
519 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | |
520 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | |
521 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | |
522 | |
523 @item Patents. | |
3294 | 524 |
7016 | 525 A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this |
526 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | |
527 work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''. | |
528 | |
529 A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims owned | |
530 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | |
531 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | |
532 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | |
533 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | |
534 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | |
535 purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant | |
536 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | |
537 this License. | |
538 | |
539 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free | |
540 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to | |
541 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and | |
542 propagate the contents of its contributor version. | |
3294 | 543 |
7016 | 544 In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express |
545 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | |
546 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | |
547 sue for patent infringement). To ``grant'' such a patent license to a | |
548 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | |
549 patent against the party. | |
550 | |
551 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | |
552 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | |
553 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | |
554 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | |
555 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | |
556 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | |
557 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | |
558 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | |
559 license to downstream recipients. ``Knowingly relying'' means you have | |
560 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | |
561 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | |
562 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | |
563 country that you have reason to believe are valid. | |
564 | |
565 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | |
566 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | |
567 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | |
568 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | |
569 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | |
570 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | |
571 work and works based on it. | |
3294 | 572 |
7016 | 573 A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within the |
574 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on | |
575 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically | |
576 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you | |
577 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the | |
578 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the | |
579 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the | |
580 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties | |
581 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent | |
582 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by | |
583 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in | |
584 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the | |
585 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent | |
586 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | |
587 | |
588 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | |
589 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | |
590 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | |
591 | |
592 @item No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | |
3294 | 593 |
7016 | 594 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
595 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
596 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey | |
597 a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under | |
598 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a | |
599 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree | |
600 to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying | |
601 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could | |
602 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely | |
603 from conveying the Program. | |
604 | |
605 @item Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
606 | |
607 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have | |
608 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed | |
609 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single | |
610 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
611 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, | |
612 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, | |
613 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the | |
614 combination as such. | |
615 | |
616 @item Revised Versions of this License. | |
617 | |
3294 | 618 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
7016 | 619 of the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new |
620 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may | |
621 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. | |
3294 | 622 |
623 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
7016 | 624 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public |
625 License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of | |
626 following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or | |
627 of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If | |
628 the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General | |
629 Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free | |
630 Software Foundation. | |
3294 | 631 |
7016 | 632 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions |
633 of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public | |
634 statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to | |
635 choose that version for the Program. | |
636 | |
637 Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
638 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
639 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
640 later version. | |
641 | |
642 @item Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
3294 | 643 |
7016 | 644 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |

679 @heading How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
3294 | 680 |
7016 | 681 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
3294 | 682 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
7016 | 683 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these |
684 terms. | |
3294 | 685 |
7016 | 686 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
3294 | 687 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
7016 | 688 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
3294 | 689 the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
