GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

|
|

Version 3, 29 June 2007
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
|
|
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the
|
|
|
|
works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
|
|
|
|
versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use
|
|
|
|
the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its
|
|
|
|
authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
|
|
|
|
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive
|
|
|
|
source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and
|
|
|
|
that you know you can do these things.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.
|
|
|
|
Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it:
|
|
|
|
responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients
|
|
|
|
the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
|
|
|
|
show them these terms so they know their rights.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
|
|
|
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
|
|
|
and/or modify it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free software.
|
|
|
|
For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems
|
|
|
|
will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them, although
|
|
|
|
the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the
|
|
|
|
software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely
|
|
|
|
where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
|
|
|
|
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those
|
|
|
|
domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to restrict
|
|
|
|
development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger
|
|
|
|
that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
|
|
|
|
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "
|
|
|
|
Licensees" and
|
|
|
|
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission,
|
|
|
|
other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a
|
|
|
|
work "based on" the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily
|
|
|
|
liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
|
|
|
|
Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some
|
|
|
|
countries other activities as well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction
|
|
|
|
with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
|
|
|
|
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright
|
|
|
|
notice, and (2)
|
|
|
|
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that
|
|
|
|
licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a
|
|
|
|
list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Source Code.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means
|
|
|
|
any non-source form of a work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body,
|
|
|
|
or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers
|
|
|
|
working in that language.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in
|
|
|
|
the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to
|
|
|
|
enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is
|
|
|
|
available to the public in source code form. A
|
|
|
|
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
|
|
|
|
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
|
|
|
|
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used
|
|
|
|
to run it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (
|
|
|
|
for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
|
|
|
|
However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs
|
|
|
|
which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
|
|
|
|
Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared
|
|
|
|
libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
|
|
|
|
communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Basic Permissions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided
|
|
|
|
the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program.
|
|
|
|
The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a
|
|
|
|
covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license
|
|
|
|
otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make
|
|
|
|
modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
|
|
|
|
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running
|
|
|
|
the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that
|
|
|
|
prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not
|
|
|
|
allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling
|
|
|
|
obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or
|
|
|
|
restricting circumvention of such measures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the
|
|
|
|
extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you
|
|
|
|
disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users,
|
|
|
|
your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
|
|
|
|
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating
|
|
|
|
that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices
|
|
|
|
of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for
|
|
|
|
a fee.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source
|
|
|
|
code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
|
|
|
|
it, and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
|
|
|
|
released under this License and any conditions added under section
|
|
|
|
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
|
|
|
|
"keep intact all notices".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
|
|
|
|
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
|
|
|
|
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
|
|
|
|
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
|
|
|
|
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
|
|
|
|
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
|
|
|
|
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
|
|
|
|
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
|
|
|
|
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
|
|
|
|
work need not make them do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of
|
|
|
|
the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or
|
|
|
|
distribution medium, is called an
|
|
|
|
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
|
|
|
|
compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause
|
|
|
|
this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
|
|
|
|
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
|
|
|
|
customarily used for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
|
|
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
|
|
|
|
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
|
|
|
|
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
|
|
|
|
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
|
|
|
|
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
|
|
|
|
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
|
|
|
|
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
|
|
|
|
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
|
|
|
|
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
|
|
|
|
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
|
|
|
|
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
|
|
|
|
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
|
|
|
|
with subsection 6b.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
|
|
|
|
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
|
|
|
|
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
|
|
|
|
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
|
|
|
|
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
|
|
|
|
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
|
|
|
|
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
|
|
|
|
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
|
|
|
|
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
|
|
|
|
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
|
|
|
|
charge under subsection 6d.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library,
|
|
|
|
need not be included in conveying the object code work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used
|
|
|
|
for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In
|
|
|
|
determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a
|
|
|
|
particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
|
|
|
|
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or
|
|
|
|
expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has
|
|
|
|
substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of
|
|
|
|
the product.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information
|
|
|
|
required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code
|
|
|
|
is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the
|
|
|
|
conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to
|
|
|
|
the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
|
|
|
|
Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not
|
|
|
|
apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for
|
|
|
|
example, the work has been installed in ROM).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support
|
|
|
|
service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product
|
|
|
|
in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially
|
|
|
|
and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
|
|
|
|
network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format
|
|
|
|
that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require
|
|
|
|
no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of
|
|
|
|
its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were
|
|
|
|
included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only
|
|
|
|
to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
|
|
|
|
governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or
|
|
|
|
from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you
|
|
|
|
modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have
|
|
|
|
or can give appropriate copyright permission.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by
|
|
|
|
the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
|
|
|
|
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
|
|
|
|
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
|
|
|
|
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
|
|
|
|
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
|
|
|
|
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
|
|
|
|
authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
|
|
|
|
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
|
|
|
|
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
|
|
|
|
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
|
|
|
|
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
|
|
|
|
those licensors and authors.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the
|
|
|
|
Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with
|
|
|
|
a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but
|
|
|
|
permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of
|
|
|
|
that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a
|
|
|
|
statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as
|
|
|
|
exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Termination.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
|
|
|
|
propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent
|
|
|
|
licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
|
|
reinstated (a)
|
|
|
|
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b)
|
|
|
|
permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days
|
|
|
|
after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you
|
|
|
|
of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this
|
|
|
|
License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the
|
|
|
|
notice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or
|
|
|
|
rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not
|
|
|
|
qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a
|
|
|
|
covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not
|
|
|
|
require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered
|
|
|
|
work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
|
|
|
|
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run,
|
|
|
|
modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
|
|
|
|
parties with this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or
|
|
|
|
subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity
|
|
|
|
transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work
|
|
|
|
the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with
|
|
|
|
reasonable efforts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For
|
|
|
|
example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License,
|
|
|
|
and you may not initiate litigation
|
|
|
|
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
|
|
|
|
selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Patents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the
|
|
|
|
Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already
|
|
|
|
acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or
|
|
|
|
selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further
|
|
|
|
modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent
|
|
|
|
sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
|
|
|
|
patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its
|
|
|
|
contributor version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not
|
|
|
|
to enforce a patent
|
|
|
|
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a
|
|
|
|
patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not
|
|
|
|
available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network
|
|
|
|
server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available,
|
|
|
|
or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a
|
|
|
|
manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "
|
|
|
|
Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in
|
|
|
|
a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in
|
|
|
|
that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring
|
|
|
|
conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing
|
|
|
|
them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is
|
|
|
|
automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of,
|
|
|
|
or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You
|
|
|
|
may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of
|
|
|
|
distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
|
|
|
|
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a
|
|
|
|
discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
|
|
|
|
those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered
|
|
|
|
work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to
|
|
|
|
infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
|
|
|
|
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to
|
|
|
|
satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
|
|
|
|
you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further
|
|
|
|
conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License
|
|
|
|
would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work
|
|
|
|
licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the
|
|
|
|
resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special
|
|
|
|
requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply
|
|
|
|
to the combination as such.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from time to
|
|
|
|
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
|
|
|
|
problems or concerns.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the
|
|
|
|
GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
|
|
|
|
conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
|
|
|
|
Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
|
|
|
|
by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public License can be used,
|
|
|
|
that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the
|
|
|
|
Program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed
|
|
|
|
on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
|
|
|
|
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
|
|
|
|
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
|
|
|
|
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
|
|
|
|
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
16. Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
|
|
|
|
MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
|
|
|
|
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
|
|
|
|
LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
|
|
|
|
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
|
|
|
|
DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to
|
|
|
|
their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil
|
|
|
|
liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program
|
|
|
|
in return for a fee.
|
|

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve
|
|
|
|
this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to
|
|
|
|
most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer
|
|
|
|
to where the full notice is found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
|
|
|
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

|

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
|
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
|

|
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

|
|
|
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
|
|
|
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
|
|
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
|
|
|
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of
|
|
|
|
course, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for
|
|
|
|
the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
|
|
|
|
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is
|
|
|
|
a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If
|
|
|
|
this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
