Yingdi Yu40cd1c32014-04-17 15:02:17 -070046GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
47==========================
48Version 3, 29 June 2007
49=======================
50
51> Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
52 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
53
54# Preamble
55
56 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
57software and other kinds of works.
58
59 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
60to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
61the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
62share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
63software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
64GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
65any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
66your programs, too.
67
68 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
69price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
70have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
71them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
72want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
73free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
74
75 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
76these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
77certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
78you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
79
80 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
81gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
82freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
83or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
84know their rights.
85
86 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
87(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
88giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
89
90 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
91that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
92authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
93changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
94authors of previous versions.
95
96 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
97modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
98can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
99protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
100pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
101use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
102have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
103products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
104stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
105of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
106
107 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
108States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
109software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
110avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
111make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
112patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
113
114 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
115modification follow.
116
117# TERMS AND CONDITIONS
118
119## 0. Definitions.
120
121 _"This License"_ refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
122
123 _"Copyright"_ also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
124works, such as semiconductor masks.
125
126 _"The Program"_ refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
127License. Each licensee is addressed as _"you"_. _"Licensees"_ and
128"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
129
130 To _"modify"_ a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
131in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
132exact copy. The resulting work is called a _"modified version"_ of the
133earlier work or a work _"based on"_ the earlier work.
134
135 A _"covered work"_ means either the unmodified Program or a work based
136on the Program.
137
138 To _"propagate"_ a work means to do anything with it that, without
139permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
140infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
141computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
142distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
143public, and in some countries other activities as well.
144
145 To _"convey"_ a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
146parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
147a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
148
149 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
150to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
151feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
152tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
153extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
154work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
155the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
156menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
157
158## 1. Source Code.
159
160 The _"source code"_ for a work means the preferred form of the work
161for making modifications to it. _"Object code"_ means any non-source
162form of a work.
163
164 A _"Standard Interface"_ means an interface that either is an official
165standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
166interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
167is widely used among developers working in that language.
168
169 The _"System Libraries"_ of an executable work include anything, other
170than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
171packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
172Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
173Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
174implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
175"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
176(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
177(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
178produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
179
180 The _"Corresponding Source"_ for a work in object code form means all
181the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
182work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
183control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
184System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
185programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
186which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
187includes interface definition files associated with source files for
188the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
189linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
190such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
191subprograms and other parts of the work.
192
193 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
194can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
195Source.
196
197 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
198same work.
199
200## 2. Basic Permissions.
201
202 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
203copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
204conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
205permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
206covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
207content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
208rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
209
210 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
211convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
212in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
213of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
214with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
215the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
216not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
217for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
218and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
219your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
220
221 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
222the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
223makes it unnecessary.
224
225## 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
226
227 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
228measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
22911 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
230similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
231measures.
232
233 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
234circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
235is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
236the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
237modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
238users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
239technological measures.
240
241## 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
242
243 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
244receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
245appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
246keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
247non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
248keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
249recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
250
251 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
252and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
253
254## 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
255
256 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
257produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
258terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
259
260 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
261 it, and giving a relevant date.
262
263 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
264 released under this License and any conditions added under section
265 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
266 "keep intact all notices".
267
268 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
269 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
270 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
271 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
272 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
273 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
274 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
275
276 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
277 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
278 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
279 work need not make them do so.
280
281 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
282works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
283and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
284in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
285"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
286used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
287beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
288in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
289parts of the aggregate.
290
291## 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
292
293 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
294of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
295machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
296in one of these ways:
297
298 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
299 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
300 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
301 customarily used for software interchange.
302
303 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
304 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
305 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
306 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
307 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
308 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
309 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
310 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
311 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
312 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
313 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
314
315 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
316 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
317 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
318 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
319 with subsection 6b.
320
321 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
322 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
323 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
324 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
325 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
326 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
327 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
328 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
329 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
330 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
331 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
332 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
333
334 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
335 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
336 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
337 charge under subsection 6d.
338
339 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
340from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
341included in conveying the object code work.
342
343 A _"User Product"_ is either (1) a _"consumer product"_, which means any
344tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
345or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
346into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
347doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
348product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
349typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
350of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
351actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
352is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
353commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
354the only significant mode of use of the product.
355
356 _"Installation Information"_ for a User Product means any methods,
357procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
358and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
359a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
360suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
361code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
362modification has been made.
363
364 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
365specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
366part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
367User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
368fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
369Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
370by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
371if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
372modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
373been installed in ROM).
374
375 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
376requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
377for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
378the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
379network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
380adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
381protocols for communication across the network.
382
383 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
384in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
385documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
386source code form), and must require no special password or key for
387unpacking, reading or copying.
388
389## 7. Additional Terms.
390
391 _"Additional permissions"_ are terms that supplement the terms of this
392License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
393Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
394be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
395that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
396apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
397under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
398this License without regard to the additional permissions.
399
400 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
401remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
402it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
403removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
404additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
405for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
406
407 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
408add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
409that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
410
411 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
412 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
413
414 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
415 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
416 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
417
418 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
419 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
420 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
421
422 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
423 authors of the material; or
424
425 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
426 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
427
428 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
429 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
430 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
431 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
432 those licensors and authors.
433
434 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
435restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
436received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
437governed by this License along with a term that is a further
438restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
439a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
440License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
441of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
442not survive such relicensing or conveying.
443
444 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
445must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
446additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
447where to find the applicable terms.
448
449 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
450form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
451the above requirements apply either way.
452
453## 8. Termination.
454
455 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
456provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
457modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
458this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
459paragraph of section 11).
460
461 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
462license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
463provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
464finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
465holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
466prior to 60 days after the cessation.
467
468 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
469reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
470violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
471received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
472copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
473your receipt of the notice.
474
475 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
476licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
477this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
478reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
479material under section 10.
480
481## 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
482
483 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
484run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
485occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
486to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
487nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
488modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
489not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
490covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
491
492## 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
493
494 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
495receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
496propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
497for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
498
499 An _"entity transaction"_ is a transaction transferring control of an
500organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
501organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
502work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
503transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
504licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
505give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
506Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
507the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
508
509 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
510rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
511not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
512rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
513(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
514any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
515sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
516
517## 11. Patents.

519 A _"contributor"_ is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
520License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
521work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
522
523 A contributor's _"essential patent claims"_ are all patent claims
524owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
525hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
526by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
527but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
528consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
529purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
530patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
531this License.
532
533 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
534patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
535make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
536propagate the contents of its contributor version.
537
538 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
539agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
540(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
541sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
542party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
543patent against the party.
544
545 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
546and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
547to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
548publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
549then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
550available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
551patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
552consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
553license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
554actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
555covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
556in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
557country that you have reason to believe are valid.
558
559 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
560arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
561covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
562receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
563or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
564you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
565work and works based on it.
566
567 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
568the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
569conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
570specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
571work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
572in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
573to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
574the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
575parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
576patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
577conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
578for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
579contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
580or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
581
582 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
583any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
584otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
585
586## 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
587
588 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
589otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
590excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
591covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
592License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
593not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
594to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
595the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
596License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
597
598## 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
599
600 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
601permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
602under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
603combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
604License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
605but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
606section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
607combination as such.
608
609## 14. Revised Versions of this License.
610
611 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
612the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
613be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
614address new problems or concerns.
615
616 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
617Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
618Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
619option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
620version or of any later version published by the Free Software
621Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
622GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
623by the Free Software Foundation.
624
625 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
626versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
627public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
628to choose that version for the Program.
629
630 Later license versions may give you additional or different
631permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
632author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
633later version.
634
635## 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
636
637 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
638APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
639HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
640OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
641THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
642PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
643IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
644ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
645
646## 16. Limitation of Liability.
647
648 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
649WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
650THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
651GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
652USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
653DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
654PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
655EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
656SUCH DAMAGES.
657
658## 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
659
660 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
661above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
662reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
663an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
664Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
665copy of the Program in return for a fee.

671# How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
672
673 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
674possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
675free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
676
677 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
678to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
679state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
680the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
681
682 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
683 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
684
685 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
686 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
687 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
688 (at your option) any later version.
689
690 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
691 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
692 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
693 GNU General Public License for more details.
694
695 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
696 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
697
698Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
699
700 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
701notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
702
703 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
704 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
705 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
706 under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
707
708 The hypothetical commands _'show w'_ and _'show c'_ should show the appropriate
709parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
710might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
711
712 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
713if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
714For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
715<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
716
717 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
718into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
719may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
720the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
721Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
722<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
