Alexander Afanasyev08eecea2014-03-28 10:23:30 -070028GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
29==========================
30Version 3, 29 June 2007
31=======================
32
33> Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
34 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
35
36# Preamble
37
38 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
39software and other kinds of works.
40
41 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
42to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
43the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
44share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
45software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
46GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
47any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
48your programs, too.
49
50 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
51price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
52have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
53them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
54want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
55free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
56
57 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
58these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
59certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
60you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
61
62 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
63gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
64freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
65or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
66know their rights.
67
68 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
69(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
70giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
71
72 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
73that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
74authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
75changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
76authors of previous versions.
77
78 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
79modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
80can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
81protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
82pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
83use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
84have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
85products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
86stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
87of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
88
89 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
90States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
91software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
92avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
93make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
94patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
95
96 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
97modification follow.
98
99# TERMS AND CONDITIONS
100
101## 0. Definitions.
102
103 _"This License"_ refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
104
105 _"Copyright"_ also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
106works, such as semiconductor masks.
107
108 _"The Program"_ refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
109License. Each licensee is addressed as _"you"_. _"Licensees"_ and
110"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
111
112 To _"modify"_ a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
113in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
114exact copy. The resulting work is called a _"modified version"_ of the
115earlier work or a work _"based on"_ the earlier work.
116
117 A _"covered work"_ means either the unmodified Program or a work based
118on the Program.
119
120 To _"propagate"_ a work means to do anything with it that, without
121permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
122infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
123computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
124distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
125public, and in some countries other activities as well.
126
127 To _"convey"_ a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
128parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
129a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
130
131 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
132to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
133feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
134tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
135extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
136work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
137the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
138menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
139
140## 1. Source Code.
141
142 The _"source code"_ for a work means the preferred form of the work
143for making modifications to it. _"Object code"_ means any non-source
144form of a work.
145
146 A _"Standard Interface"_ means an interface that either is an official
147standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
148interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
149is widely used among developers working in that language.
150
151 The _"System Libraries"_ of an executable work include anything, other
152than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
153packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
154Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
155Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
156implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
157"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
158(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
159(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
160produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
161
162 The _"Corresponding Source"_ for a work in object code form means all
163the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
164work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
165control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
166System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
167programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
168which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
169includes interface definition files associated with source files for
170the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
171linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
172such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
173subprograms and other parts of the work.
174
175 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
176can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
177Source.
178
179 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
180same work.
181
182## 2. Basic Permissions.
183
184 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
185copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
186conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
187permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
188covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
189content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
190rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
191
192 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
193convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
194in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
195of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
196with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
197the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
198not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
199for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
200and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
201your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
202
203 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
204the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
205makes it unnecessary.
206
207## 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
208
209 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
210measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
21111 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
212similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
213measures.
214
215 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
216circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
217is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
218the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
219modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
220users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
221technological measures.
222
223## 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
224
225 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
226receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
227appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
228keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
229non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
230keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
231recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
232
233 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
234and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
235
236## 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
237
238 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
239produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
240terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
241
242 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
243 it, and giving a relevant date.
244
245 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
246 released under this License and any conditions added under section
247 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
248 "keep intact all notices".
249
250 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
251 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
252 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
253 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
254 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
255 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
256 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
257
258 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
259 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
260 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
261 work need not make them do so.
262
263 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
264works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
265and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
266in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
267"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
268used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
269beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
270in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
271parts of the aggregate.
272
273## 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
274
275 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
276of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
277machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
278in one of these ways:
279
280 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
281 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
282 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
283 customarily used for software interchange.
284
285 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
286 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
287 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
288 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
289 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
290 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
291 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
292 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
293 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
294 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
295 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
296
297 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
298 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
299 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
300 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
301 with subsection 6b.
302
303 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
304 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
305 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
306 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
307 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
308 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
309 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
310 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
311 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
312 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
313 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
314 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
315
316 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
317 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
318 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
319 charge under subsection 6d.
320
321 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
322from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
323included in conveying the object code work.
324
325 A _"User Product"_ is either (1) a _"consumer product"_, which means any
326tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
327or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
328into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
329doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
330product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
331typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
332of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
333actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
334is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
335commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
336the only significant mode of use of the product.
337
338 _"Installation Information"_ for a User Product means any methods,
339procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
340and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
341a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
342suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
343code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
344modification has been made.
345
346 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
347specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
348part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
349User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
350fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
351Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
352by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
353if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
354modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
355been installed in ROM).
356
357 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
358requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
359for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
360the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
361network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
362adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
363protocols for communication across the network.
364
365 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
366in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
367documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
368source code form), and must require no special password or key for
369unpacking, reading or copying.
370
371## 7. Additional Terms.
372
373 _"Additional permissions"_ are terms that supplement the terms of this
374License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
375Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
376be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
377that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
378apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
379under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
380this License without regard to the additional permissions.
381
382 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
383remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
384it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
385removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
386additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
387for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
388
389 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
390add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
391that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
392
393 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
394 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
395
396 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
397 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
398 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
399
400 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
401 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
402 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
403
404 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
405 authors of the material; or
406
407 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
408 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
409
410 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
411 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
412 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
413 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
414 those licensors and authors.
415
416 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
417restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
418received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
419governed by this License along with a term that is a further
420restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
421a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
422License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
423of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
424not survive such relicensing or conveying.
425
426 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
427must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
428additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
429where to find the applicable terms.
430
431 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
432form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
433the above requirements apply either way.
434
435## 8. Termination.
436
437 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
438provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
439modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
440this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
441paragraph of section 11).
442
443 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
444license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
445provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
446finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
447holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
448prior to 60 days after the cessation.
449
450 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
451reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
452violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
453received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
454copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
455your receipt of the notice.
456
457 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
458licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
459this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
460reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
461material under section 10.
462
463## 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
464
465 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
466run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
467occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
468to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
469nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
470modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
471not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
472covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
473
474## 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
475
476 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
477receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
478propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
479for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
480
481 An _"entity transaction"_ is a transaction transferring control of an
482organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
483organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
484work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
485transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
486licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
487give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
488Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
489the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
490
491 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
492rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
493not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
494rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
495(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
496any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
497sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
498
499## 11. Patents.
500
501 A _"contributor"_ is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
502License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
503work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
504
505 A contributor's _"essential patent claims"_ are all patent claims
506owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
507hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
508by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
509but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
510consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
511purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
512patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
513this License.
514
515 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
516patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
517make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
518propagate the contents of its contributor version.
519
520 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
521agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
522(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
523sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
524party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
525patent against the party.
526
527 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
528and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
529to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
530publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
531then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
532available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
533patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
534consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
535license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
536actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
537covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
538in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
539country that you have reason to believe are valid.
540
541 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
542arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
543covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
544receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
545or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
546you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
547work and works based on it.
548
549 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
550the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
551conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
552specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
553work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
554in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
555to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
556the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
557parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
558patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
559conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
560for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
561contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
562or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
563
564 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
565any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
566otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
567
568## 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
569
570 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
571otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
572excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
573covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
574License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
575not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
576to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
577the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
578License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
579
580## 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
581
582 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
583permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
584under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
585combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
586License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
587but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
588section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
589combination as such.
590
591## 14. Revised Versions of this License.
592
593 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
594the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
595be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
596address new problems or concerns.
597
598 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
599Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
600Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
601option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
602version or of any later version published by the Free Software
603Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
604GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
605by the Free Software Foundation.
606
607 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
608versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
609public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
610to choose that version for the Program.
611
612 Later license versions may give you additional or different
613permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
614author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
615later version.
616
617## 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
618
619 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
620APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
621HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
622OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
623THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
624PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
625IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
626ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
627
628## 16. Limitation of Liability.
629
630 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
631WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
632THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
633GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
634USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
635DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
636PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
637EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
638SUCH DAMAGES.
639
640## 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
641
642 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
643above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
644reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
645an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
646Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
647copy of the Program in return for a fee.

653# How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
654
655 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
656possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
657free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
658
659 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
660to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
661state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
662the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
663
664 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
665 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
666
667 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
668 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
669 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
670 (at your option) any later version.
671
672 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
673 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
674 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
675 GNU General Public License for more details.
676
677 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
678 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
679
680Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
681
682 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
683notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
684
685 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
686 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
687 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
688 under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
689
690 The hypothetical commands _'show w'_ and _'show c'_ should show the appropriate
691parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
692might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
693
694 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
695if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
696For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
697<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
698
699 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
700into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
701may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
702the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
703Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
704<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
