33 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
34 Version 3, 29 June 2007
35
36 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
37 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
38 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
39
40 Preamble
41
42 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
43software and other kinds of works.
44
45 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
46to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
47the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
48share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
49software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
50GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
51any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
52your programs, too.
53
54 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
55price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
56have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
57them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
58want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
59free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
60
61 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
62these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
63certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
64you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
65
66 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
67gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
68freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
69or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
70know their rights.
71
72 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
73(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
74giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
75
76 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
77that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
78authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
79changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
80authors of previous versions.
81
82 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
83modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
84can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
85protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
86pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
87use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
88have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
89products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
90stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
91of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
92
93 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
94States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
95software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
96avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
97make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
98patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
99
100 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
101modification follow.
102
103 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
104
105 0. Definitions.
106
107 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
108
109 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
110works, such as semiconductor masks.
111
112 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
113License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
114"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
115
116 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
117in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
118exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
119earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
120
121 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
122on the Program.
123
124 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
125permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
126infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
127computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
128distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
129public, and in some countries other activities as well.
130
131 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
132parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
133a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
134
135 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
136to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
137feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
138tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
139extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
140work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
141the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
142menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
143
144 1. Source Code.
145
146 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
147for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
148form of a work.
149
150 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
151standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
152interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
153is widely used among developers working in that language.
154
155 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
156than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
157packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
158Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
159Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
160implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
161"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
162(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
163(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
164produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
165
166 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
167the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
168work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
169control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
170System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
171programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
172which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
173includes interface definition files associated with source files for
174the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
175linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
176such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
177subprograms and other parts of the work.
178
179 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
180can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
181Source.
182
183 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
184same work.
185
186 2. Basic Permissions.
187
188 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
189copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
190conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
191permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
192covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
193content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
194rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
195
196 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
197convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
198in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
199of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
200with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
201the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
202not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
203for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
204and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
205your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
206
207 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
208the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
209makes it unnecessary.
210
211 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
212
213 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
214measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
21511 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
216similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
217measures.
218
219 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
220circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
221is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
222the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
223modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
224users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
225technological measures.
226
227 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
228
229 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
230receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
231appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
232keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
233non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
234keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
235recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
236
237 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
238and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
239
240 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
241
242 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
243produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
244terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
245
246 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
247 it, and giving a relevant date.
248
249 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
250 released under this License and any conditions added under section
251 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
252 "keep intact all notices".
253
254 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
255 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
256 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
257 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
258 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
259 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
260 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
261
262 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
263 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
264 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
265 work need not make them do so.
266
267 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
268works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
269and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
270in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
271"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
272used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
273beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
274in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
275parts of the aggregate.
276
277 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
278
279 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
280of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
281machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
282in one of these ways:
283
284 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
285 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
286 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
287 customarily used for software interchange.
288
289 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
290 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
291 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
292 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
293 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
294 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
295 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
296 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
297 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
298 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
299 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
300
301 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
302 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
303 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
304 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
305 with subsection 6b.
306
307 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
308 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
309 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
310 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
311 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
312 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
313 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
314 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
315 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
316 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
317 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
318 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
319
320 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
321 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
322 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
323 charge under subsection 6d.
324
325 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
326from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
327included in conveying the object code work.
328
329 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
330tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
331or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
332into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
333doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
334product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
335typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
336of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
337actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
338is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
339commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
340the only significant mode of use of the product.
341
342 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
343procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
344and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
345a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
346suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
347code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
348modification has been made.
349
350 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
351specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
352part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
353User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
354fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
355Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
356by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
357if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
358modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
359been installed in ROM).
360
361 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
362requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
363for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
364the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
365network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
366adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
367protocols for communication across the network.
368
369 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
370in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
371documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
372source code form), and must require no special password or key for
373unpacking, reading or copying.
374
375 7. Additional Terms.
376
377 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
378License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
379Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
380be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
381that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
382apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
383under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
384this License without regard to the additional permissions.
385
386 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
387remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
388it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
389removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
390additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
391for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
392
393 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
394add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
395that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
396
397 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
398 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
399
400 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
401 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
402 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
403
404 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
405 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
406 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
407
408 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
409 authors of the material; or
410
411 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
412 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
413
414 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
415 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
416 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
417 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
418 those licensors and authors.
419
420 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
421restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
422received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
423governed by this License along with a term that is a further
424restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
425a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
426License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
427of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
428not survive such relicensing or conveying.
429
430 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
431must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
432additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
433where to find the applicable terms.
434
435 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
436form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
437the above requirements apply either way.
438
439 8. Termination.
440
441 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
442provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
443modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
444this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
445paragraph of section 11).
446
447 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
448license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
449provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
450finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
451holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
452prior to 60 days after the cessation.
453
454 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
455reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
456violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
457received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
458copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
459your receipt of the notice.
460
461 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
462licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
463this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
464reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
465material under section 10.
466
467 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
468
469 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
470run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
471occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
472to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
473nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
474modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
475not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
476covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
477
478 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
479
480 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
481receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
482propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
483for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
484
485 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
486organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
487organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
488work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
489transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
490licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
491give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
492Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
493the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
494
495 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
496rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
497not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
498rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
499(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
500any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
501sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
502
503 11. Patents.
504
505 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
506License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
507work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
508
509 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
510owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
511hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
512by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
513but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
514consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
515purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
516patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
517this License.
518
519 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
520patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
521make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
522propagate the contents of its contributor version.

524 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
525agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
526(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
527sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
528party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
529patent against the party.
530
531 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
532and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
533to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
534publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
535then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
536available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
537patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
538consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
539license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
540actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
541covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
542in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
543country that you have reason to believe are valid.
544
545 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
546arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
547covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
548receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
549or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
550you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
551work and works based on it.
552
553 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
554the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
555conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
556specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
557work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
558in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
559to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
560the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
561parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
562patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
563conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
564for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
565contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
566or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
567
568 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
569any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
570otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
571
572 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
573
574 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
575otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
576excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
577covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
578License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
579not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
580to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
581the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
582License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
583
584 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
585
586 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
587permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
588under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
589combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
590License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
591but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
592section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
593combination as such.
594
595 14. Revised Versions of this License.
596
597 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
598the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
599be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
600address new problems or concerns.
601
602 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
603Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
604Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
605option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
606version or of any later version published by the Free Software
607Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
608GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
609by the Free Software Foundation.
610
611 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
612versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
613public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
614to choose that version for the Program.
615
616 Later license versions may give you additional or different
617permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
618author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
619later version.
620
621 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
622
623 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
624APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
625HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
626OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
627THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
628PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
629IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
630ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
631
632 16. Limitation of Liability.
633
634 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
635WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
636THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
637GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
638USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
639DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
640PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
641EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
642SUCH DAMAGES.
643
644 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
645
646 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
647above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
648reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
649an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
650Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
651copy of the Program in return for a fee.
652
653 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

655 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
656
657 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
658possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
659free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
660
661 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
662to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
663state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
664the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
665
666 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
667 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
668
669 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
670 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
671 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
672 (at your option) any later version.
673
674 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
675 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
676 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
677 GNU General Public License for more details.
678
679 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
680 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
681
682Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
683
684 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
685notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
686
687 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
688 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
689 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
690 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
691
692The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
693parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
694might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
695
696 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
697if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
698For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
699<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

701 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
702into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
703may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
704the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
705Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
706<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
