                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
paul@27 2
                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
paul@27 3
paul@27 4
 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
paul@27 5
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
paul@27 6
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
paul@27 7
paul@27 8
                            Preamble
paul@27 9
paul@27 10
  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
paul@27 11
software and other kinds of works.
paul@27 12
paul@27 13
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
paul@27 14
to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
paul@27 15
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
paul@27 16
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
paul@27 17
software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
paul@27 18
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
paul@27 19
any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
paul@27 20
your programs, too.
paul@27 21
paul@27 22
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
paul@27 23
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
paul@27 24
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
paul@27 25
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
paul@27 26
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
paul@27 27
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
paul@27 28
paul@27 29
  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
paul@27 30
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
paul@27 31
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
paul@27 32
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
paul@27 33
paul@27 34
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
paul@27 35
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
paul@27 36
freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
paul@27 37
or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
paul@27 38
know their rights.
paul@27 39
paul@27 40
  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
paul@27 41
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
paul@27 42
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
paul@27 43
paul@27 44
  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
paul@27 45
that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
paul@27 46
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
paul@27 47
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
paul@27 48
authors of previous versions.
paul@27 49
paul@27 50
  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
paul@27 51
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
paul@27 52
can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
paul@27 53
protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
paul@27 54
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
paul@27 55
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
paul@27 56
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
paul@27 57
products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
paul@27 58
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
paul@27 59
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
paul@27 60
paul@27 61
  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
paul@27 62
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
paul@27 63
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
paul@27 64
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
paul@27 65
make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
paul@27 66
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
paul@27 67
paul@27 68
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
paul@27 69
modification follow.
paul@27 70
paul@27 71
                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
paul@27 72
paul@27 73
  0. Definitions.
paul@27 74
paul@27 75
  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
paul@27 76
paul@27 77
  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
paul@27 78
works, such as semiconductor masks.
paul@27 79
paul@27 80
  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
paul@27 81
License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
paul@27 82
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
paul@27 83
paul@27 84
  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
paul@27 85
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
paul@27 86
exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
paul@27 87
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
paul@27 88
paul@27 89
  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
paul@27 90
on the Program.
paul@27 91
paul@27 92
  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
paul@27 93
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
paul@27 94
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
paul@27 95
computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
paul@27 96
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
paul@27 97
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
paul@27 98
paul@27 99
  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
paul@27 100
parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
paul@27 101
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
paul@27 102
paul@27 103
  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
paul@27 104
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
paul@27 105
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
paul@27 106
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
paul@27 107
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
paul@27 108
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
paul@27 109
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
paul@27 110
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
paul@27 111
paul@27 112
  1. Source Code.
paul@27 113
paul@27 114
  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
paul@27 115
for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
paul@27 116
form of a work.
paul@27 117
paul@27 118
  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
paul@27 119
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
paul@27 120
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
paul@27 121
is widely used among developers working in that language.
paul@27 122
paul@27 123
  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
paul@27 124
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
paul@27 125
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
paul@27 126
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
paul@27 127
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
paul@27 128
implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
paul@27 129
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
paul@27 130
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
paul@27 131
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
paul@27 132
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
paul@27 133
paul@27 134
  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
paul@27 135
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
paul@27 136
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
paul@27 137
control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
paul@27 138
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
paul@27 139
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
paul@27 140
which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
paul@27 141
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
paul@27 142
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
paul@27 143
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
paul@27 144
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
paul@27 145
subprograms and other parts of the work.
paul@27 146
paul@27 147
  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
paul@27 148
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
paul@27 149
Source.
paul@27 150
paul@27 151
  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
paul@27 152
same work.
paul@27 153
paul@27 154
  2. Basic Permissions.
paul@27 155
paul@27 156
  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
paul@27 157
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
paul@27 158
conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
paul@27 159
permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
paul@27 160
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
paul@27 161
content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
paul@27 162
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
paul@27 163
paul@27 164
  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
paul@27 165
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
paul@27 166
in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
paul@27 167
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
paul@27 168
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
paul@27 169
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
paul@27 170
not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
paul@27 171
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
paul@27 172
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
paul@27 173
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
paul@27 174
paul@27 175
  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
paul@27 176
the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
paul@27 177
makes it unnecessary.
paul@27 178
paul@27 179
  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
paul@27 180
paul@27 181
  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
paul@27 182
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
paul@27 183
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
paul@27 184
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
paul@27 185
measures.
paul@27 186
paul@27 187
  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
paul@27 188
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
paul@27 189
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
paul@27 190
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
paul@27 191
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
paul@27 192
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
paul@27 193
technological measures.
paul@27 194
paul@27 195
  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
paul@27 196
paul@27 197
  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
paul@27 198
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
paul@27 199
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
paul@27 200
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
paul@27 201
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
paul@27 202
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
paul@27 203
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
paul@27 204
paul@27 205
  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
paul@27 206
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
paul@27 207
paul@27 208
  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
paul@27 209
paul@27 210
  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
paul@27 211
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
paul@27 212
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
paul@27 213
paul@27 214
    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
paul@27 215
    it, and giving a relevant date.
paul@27 216
paul@27 217
    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
paul@27 218
    released under this License and any conditions added under section
paul@27 219
    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
paul@27 220
    "keep intact all notices".
paul@27 221
paul@27 222
    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
paul@27 223
    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
paul@27 224
    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
paul@27 225
    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
paul@27 226
    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
paul@27 227
    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
paul@27 228
    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
paul@27 229
paul@27 230
    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
paul@27 231
    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
paul@27 232
    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
paul@27 233
    work need not make them do so.
paul@27 234
paul@27 235
  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
paul@27 236
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
paul@27 237
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
paul@27 238
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
paul@27 239
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
paul@27 240
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
paul@27 241
beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
paul@27 242
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
paul@27 243
parts of the aggregate.
paul@27 244
paul@27 245
  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
paul@27 246
paul@27 247
  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
paul@27 248
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
paul@27 249
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
paul@27 250
in one of these ways:
paul@27 251
paul@27 252
    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
paul@27 253
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
paul@27 254
    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
paul@27 255
    customarily used for software interchange.
paul@27 256
paul@27 257
    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
paul@27 258
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
paul@27 259
    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
paul@27 260
    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
paul@27 261
    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
paul@27 262
    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
paul@27 263
    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
paul@27 264
    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
paul@27 265
    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
paul@27 266
    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
paul@27 267
    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
paul@27 268
paul@27 269
    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
paul@27 270
    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
paul@27 271
    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
paul@27 272
    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
paul@27 273
    with subsection 6b.
paul@27 274
paul@27 275
    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
paul@27 276
    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
paul@27 277
    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
paul@27 278
    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
paul@27 279
    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
paul@27 280
    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
paul@27 281
    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
paul@27 282
    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
paul@27 283
    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
paul@27 284
    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
paul@27 285
    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
paul@27 286
    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
paul@27 287
paul@27 288
    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
paul@27 289
    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
paul@27 290
    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
paul@27 291
    charge under subsection 6d.
paul@27 292
paul@27 293
  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
paul@27 294
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
paul@27 295
included in conveying the object code work.
paul@27 296
paul@27 297
  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
paul@27 298
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
paul@27 299
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
paul@27 300
into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
paul@27 301
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
paul@27 302
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
paul@27 303
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
paul@27 304
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
paul@27 305
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
paul@27 306
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
paul@27 307
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
paul@27 308
the only significant mode of use of the product.
paul@27 309
paul@27 310
  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
paul@27 311
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
paul@27 312
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
paul@27 313
a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
paul@27 314
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
paul@27 315
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
paul@27 316
modification has been made.
paul@27 317
paul@27 318
  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
paul@27 319
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
paul@27 320
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
paul@27 321
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
paul@27 322
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
paul@27 323
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
paul@27 324
by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
paul@27 325
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
paul@27 326
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
paul@27 327
been installed in ROM).
paul@27 328
paul@27 329
  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
paul@27 330
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
paul@27 331
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
paul@27 332
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
paul@27 333
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
paul@27 334
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
paul@27 335
protocols for communication across the network.
paul@27 336
paul@27 337
  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
paul@27 338
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
paul@27 339
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
paul@27 340
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
paul@27 341
unpacking, reading or copying.
paul@27 342
paul@27 343
  7. Additional Terms.
paul@27 344
paul@27 345
  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
paul@27 346
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
paul@27 347
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
paul@27 348
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
paul@27 349
that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
paul@27 350
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
paul@27 351
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
paul@27 352
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
paul@27 353
paul@27 354
  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
paul@27 355
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
paul@27 356
it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
paul@27 357
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
paul@27 358
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
paul@27 359
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
paul@27 360
paul@27 361
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
paul@27 362
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
paul@27 363
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
paul@27 364
paul@27 365
    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
paul@27 366
    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
paul@27 367
paul@27 368
    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
paul@27 369
    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
paul@27 370
    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
paul@27 371
paul@27 372
    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
paul@27 373
    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
paul@27 374
    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
paul@27 375
paul@27 376
    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
paul@27 377
    authors of the material; or
paul@27 378
paul@27 379
    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
paul@27 380
    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
paul@27 381
paul@27 382
    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
paul@27 383
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
paul@27 384
    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
paul@27 385
    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
paul@27 386
    those licensors and authors.
paul@27 387
paul@27 388
  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
paul@27 389
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
paul@27 390
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
paul@27 391
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
paul@27 392
restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
paul@27 393
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
paul@27 394
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
paul@27 395
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
paul@27 396
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
paul@27 397
paul@27 398
  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
paul@27 399
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
paul@27 400
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
paul@27 401
where to find the applicable terms.
paul@27 402
paul@27 403
  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
paul@27 404
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
paul@27 405
the above requirements apply either way.
paul@27 406
paul@27 407
  8. Termination.
paul@27 408
paul@27 409
  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
paul@27 410
provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
paul@27 411
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
paul@27 412
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paul@27 413
paragraph of section 11).
paul@27 414
paul@27 415
  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
paul@27 416
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
paul@27 417
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
paul@27 418
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
paul@27 419
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
paul@27 420
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
paul@27 421
paul@27 422
  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
paul@27 423
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
paul@27 424
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
paul@27 425
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
paul@27 426
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
paul@27 427
your receipt of the notice.
paul@27 428
paul@27 429
  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
paul@27 430
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
paul@27 431
this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
paul@27 432
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
paul@27 433
material under section 10.
paul@27 434
paul@27 435
  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
paul@27 436
paul@27 437
  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
paul@27 438
run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
paul@27 439
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
paul@27 440
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
paul@27 441
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
paul@27 442
modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
paul@27 443
not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
paul@27 444
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
paul@27 445
paul@27 446
  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
paul@27 447
paul@27 448
  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
paul@27 449
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
paul@27 450
propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
paul@27 451
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
paul@27 452
paul@27 453
  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
paul@27 454
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
paul@27 455
organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
paul@27 456
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
paul@27 457
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
paul@27 458
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
paul@27 459
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
paul@27 460
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
paul@27 461
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
paul@27 462
paul@27 463
  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
paul@27 464
rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
paul@27 465
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
paul@27 466
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
paul@27 467
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
paul@27 468
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
paul@27 469
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
paul@27 470
paul@27 471
  11. Patents.
paul@27 472
paul@27 473
  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
paul@27 474
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
paul@27 475
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
paul@27 476
paul@27 477
  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
paul@27 478
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
paul@27 479
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
paul@27 480
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
paul@27 481
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
paul@27 482
consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
paul@27 483
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
paul@27 484
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
paul@27 485
this License.
paul@27 486
paul@27 487
  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
paul@27 488
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
paul@27 489
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
paul@27 490
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
paul@27 491
paul@27 492
  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
paul@27 493
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
paul@27 494
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
paul@27 495
sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
paul@27 496
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
paul@27 497
patent against the party.
paul@27 498
paul@27 499
  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
paul@27 500
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
paul@27 501
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
paul@27 502
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
paul@27 503
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
paul@27 504
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
paul@27 505
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
paul@27 506
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
paul@27 507
license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
paul@27 508
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
paul@27 509
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
paul@27 510
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
paul@27 511
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
paul@27 512
paul@27 513
  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
paul@27 514
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
paul@27 515
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
paul@27 516
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
paul@27 517
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
paul@27 518
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
paul@27 519
work and works based on it.
paul@27 520
paul@27 521
  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
paul@27 522
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
paul@27 523
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
paul@27 524
specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
paul@27 525
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
paul@27 526
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
paul@27 527
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
paul@27 528
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
paul@27 529
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
paul@27 530
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
paul@27 531
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
paul@27 532
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
paul@27 533
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
paul@27 534
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
paul@27 535
paul@27 536
  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
paul@27 537
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
paul@27 538
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
paul@27 539
paul@27 540
  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
paul@27 541
paul@27 542
  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
paul@27 543
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
paul@27 544
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
paul@27 545
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
paul@27 546
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
paul@27 547
not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
paul@27 548
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
paul@27 549
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
paul@27 550
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
paul@27 551
paul@27 552
  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
paul@27 553
paul@27 554
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
paul@27 555
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
paul@27 556
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
paul@27 557
combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
paul@27 558
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
paul@27 559
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
paul@27 560
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
paul@27 561
combination as such.
paul@27 562
paul@27 563
  14. Revised Versions of this License.
paul@27 564
paul@27 565
  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
paul@27 566
the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
paul@27 567
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
paul@27 568
address new problems or concerns.
paul@27 569
paul@27 570
  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
paul@27 571
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
paul@27 572
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
paul@27 573
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
paul@27 574
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
paul@27 575
Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
paul@27 576
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
paul@27 577
by the Free Software Foundation.
paul@27 578
paul@27 579
  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
paul@27 580
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
paul@27 581
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
paul@27 582
to choose that version for the Program.
paul@27 583
paul@27 584
  Later license versions may give you additional or different
paul@27 585
permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
paul@27 586
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
paul@27 587
later version.
paul@27 588
paul@27 589
  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
paul@27 590
paul@27 591
  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
paul@27 592
APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
paul@27 593
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
paul@27 594
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
paul@27 595
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
paul@27 596
PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
paul@27 597
IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
paul@27 598
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
paul@27 599
paul@27 600
  16. Limitation of Liability.
paul@27 601
paul@27 602
  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
paul@27 603
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
paul@27 604
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
paul@27 605
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
paul@27 606
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
paul@27 607
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
paul@27 608
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
paul@27 609
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
paul@27 610
SUCH DAMAGES.
paul@27 611
paul@27 612
  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
paul@27 613
paul@27 614
  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
paul@27 615
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
paul@27 616
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
paul@27 617
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
paul@27 618
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
paul@27 619
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
paul@27 620
paul@27 621
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
paul@27 622
paul@27 623
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
paul@27 624
paul@27 625
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
paul@27 626
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
paul@27 627
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
paul@27 628
paul@27 629
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
paul@27 630
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
paul@27 631
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
paul@27 632
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
paul@27 633
paul@27 634
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
paul@27 635
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

paul@27 638
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

paul@27 640
    (at your option) any later version.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
paul@27 643
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
paul@27 644
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
paul@27 645
    GNU General Public License for more details.
paul@27 646
paul@27 647
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
paul@27 648
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
paul@27 649
paul@27 650
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
paul@27 651
paul@27 652
  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
paul@27 653
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
paul@27 654
paul@27 655
    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
paul@27 656
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
paul@27 657
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
paul@27 658
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
paul@27 659
paul@27 660
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
paul@27 661
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
paul@27 662
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
paul@27 663
paul@27 664
  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
paul@27 665
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
paul@27 666

  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
paul@27 670
into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
paul@27 671
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
paul@27 672
the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
paul@27 673
