38Version 3, 29 June 2007
39
40Copyright &copy; 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. &lt;<http://fsf.org/>&gt;
41
42Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
43of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
44
45
46This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
47the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
48License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
49
50### 0. Additional Definitions.
51
52As used herein, &ldquo;this License&rdquo; refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
53General Public License, and the &ldquo;GNU GPL&rdquo; refers to version 3 of the GNU
54General Public License.
55
56&ldquo;The Library&rdquo; refers to a covered work governed by this License,
57other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
58
59An &ldquo;Application&rdquo; is any work that makes use of an interface provided
60by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
61Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
62of using an interface provided by the Library.
63
64A &ldquo;Combined Work&rdquo; is a work produced by combining or linking an
65Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
66with which the Combined Work was made is also called the &ldquo;Linked
67Version&rdquo;.
68
69The &ldquo;Minimal Corresponding Source&rdquo; for a Combined Work means the
70Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
71for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
72based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
73
74The &ldquo;Corresponding Application Code&rdquo; for a Combined Work means the
75object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
76and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
77Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
78
79### 1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
80
81You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
82without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
83
84### 2. Conveying Modified Versions.
85
86If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
87facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
88that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
89facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
90version:
91
92* a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
93ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
94function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
95whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
96
97* b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
98this License applicable to that copy.
99
100### 3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
101
102The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
103a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
104code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
105material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
106layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
107(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
108
109* a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
110Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
111covered by this License.
112* b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
113document.
114
115### 4. Combined Works.
116
117You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
118taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
119portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
120engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
121the following:
122
123* a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
124the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
125covered by this License.
126
127* b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
128document.
129
130* c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
131execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
132these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
133copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
134
135* d) Do one of the following:
136 - 0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
137License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
138suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
139recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
140the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
141manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
142Corresponding Source.
143 - 1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
144Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
145a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
146system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
147of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
148Version.
149
150* e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
151be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
152GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
153necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
154Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
155Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
156you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
157the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
158Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
159Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
160for conveying Corresponding Source.)
161
162### 5. Combined Libraries.
163
164You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
165Library side by side in a single library together with other library
166facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
167License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
168choice, if you do both of the following:
169
170* a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
171on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
172conveyed under the terms of this License.
173* b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
174is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
175accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
176
177### 6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
178
179The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
180of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
181versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
182differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
183
184Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
185Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
186of the GNU Lesser General Public License &ldquo;or any later version&rdquo;
187applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
188conditions either of that published version or of any later version
189published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
190received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
191General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
192General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
193
194If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
195whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
196apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
197permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
198Library.

200GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
201==========================
202
203Version 3, 29 June 2007
204
205> Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
206 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
207
208# Preamble
209
210 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
211software and other kinds of works.
212
213 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
214to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
215the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
216share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
217software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
218GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
219any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
220your programs, too.
221
222 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
223price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
224have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
225them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
226want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
227free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
228
229 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
230these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
231certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
232you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
233
234 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
235gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
236freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
237or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
238know their rights.
239
240 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
241(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
242giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
243
244 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
245that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
246authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
247changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
248authors of previous versions.
249
250 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
251modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
252can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
253protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
254pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
255use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
256have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
257products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
258stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
259of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
260
261 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
262States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
263software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
264avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
265make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
266patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
267
268 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
269modification follow.
270
271# TERMS AND CONDITIONS
272
273## 0. Definitions.
274
275 _"This License"_ refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
276
277 _"Copyright"_ also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
278works, such as semiconductor masks.
279
280 _"The Program"_ refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
281License. Each licensee is addressed as _"you"_. _"Licensees"_ and
282"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
283
284 To _"modify"_ a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
285in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
286exact copy. The resulting work is called a _"modified version"_ of the
287earlier work or a work _"based on"_ the earlier work.
288
289 A _"covered work"_ means either the unmodified Program or a work based
290on the Program.
291
292 To _"propagate"_ a work means to do anything with it that, without
293permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
294infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
295computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
296distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
297public, and in some countries other activities as well.
298
299 To _"convey"_ a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
300parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
301a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
302
303 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
304to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
305feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
306tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
307extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
308work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
309the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
310menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
311
312## 1. Source Code.
313
314 The _"source code"_ for a work means the preferred form of the work
315for making modifications to it. _"Object code"_ means any non-source
316form of a work.
317
318 A _"Standard Interface"_ means an interface that either is an official
319standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
320interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
321is widely used among developers working in that language.
322
323 The _"System Libraries"_ of an executable work include anything, other
324than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
325packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
326Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
327Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
328implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
329"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
330(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
331(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
332produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
333
334 The _"Corresponding Source"_ for a work in object code form means all
335the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
336work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
337control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
338System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
339programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
340which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
341includes interface definition files associated with source files for
342the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
343linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
344such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
345subprograms and other parts of the work.
346
347 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
348can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
349Source.
350
351 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
352same work.
353
354## 2. Basic Permissions.
355
356 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
357copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
358conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
359permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
360covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
361content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
362rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
363
364 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
365convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
366in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
367of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
368with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
369the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
370not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
371for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
372and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
373your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
374
375 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
376the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
377makes it unnecessary.
378
379## 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
380
381 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
382measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
38311 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
384similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
385measures.
386
387 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
388circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
389is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
390the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
391modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
392users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
393technological measures.
394
395## 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
396
397 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
398receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
399appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
400keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
401non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
402keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
403recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
404
405 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
406and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
407
408## 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
409
410 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
411produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
412terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
413
414 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
415 it, and giving a relevant date.
416
417 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
418 released under this License and any conditions added under section
419 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
420 "keep intact all notices".
421
422 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
423 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
424 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
425 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
426 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
427 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
428 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
429
430 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
431 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
432 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
433 work need not make them do so.
434
435 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
436works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
437and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
438in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
439"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
440used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
441beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
442in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
443parts of the aggregate.
444
445## 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
446
447 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
448of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
449machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
450in one of these ways:
451
452 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
453 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
454 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
455 customarily used for software interchange.
456
457 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
458 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
459 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
460 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
461 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
462 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
463 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
464 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
465 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
466 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
467 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
468
469 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
470 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
471 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
472 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
473 with subsection 6b.
474
475 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
476 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
477 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
478 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
479 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
480 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
481 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
482 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
483 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
484 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
485 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
486 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
487
488 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
489 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
490 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
491 charge under subsection 6d.
492
493 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
494from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
495included in conveying the object code work.
496
497 A _"User Product"_ is either (1) a _"consumer product"_, which means any
498tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
499or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
500into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
501doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
502product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
503typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
504of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
505actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
506is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
507commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
508the only significant mode of use of the product.
509
510 _"Installation Information"_ for a User Product means any methods,
511procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
512and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
513a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
514suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
515code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
516modification has been made.
517
518 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
519specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
520part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
521User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
522fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
523Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
524by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
525if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
526modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
527been installed in ROM).
528
529 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
530requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
531for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
532the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
533network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
534adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
535protocols for communication across the network.
536
537 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
538in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
539documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
540source code form), and must require no special password or key for
541unpacking, reading or copying.
542
543## 7. Additional Terms.
544
545 _"Additional permissions"_ are terms that supplement the terms of this
546License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
547Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
548be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
549that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
550apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
551under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
552this License without regard to the additional permissions.
553
554 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
555remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
556it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
557removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
558additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
559for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
560
561 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
562add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
563that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
564
565 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
566 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
567
568 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
569 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
570 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
571
572 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
573 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
574 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
575
576 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
577 authors of the material; or
578
579 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
580 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
581
582 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
583 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
584 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
585 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
586 those licensors and authors.
587
588 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
589restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
590received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
591governed by this License along with a term that is a further
592restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
593a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
594License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
595of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
596not survive such relicensing or conveying.
597
598 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
599must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
600additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
601where to find the applicable terms.
602
603 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
604form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
605the above requirements apply either way.
606
607## 8. Termination.
608
609 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
610provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
611modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
612this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
613paragraph of section 11).
614
615 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
616license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
617provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
618finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
619holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
620prior to 60 days after the cessation.
621
622 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
623reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
624violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
625received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
626copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
627your receipt of the notice.
628
629 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
630licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
631this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
632reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
633material under section 10.
634
635## 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
636
637 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
638run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
639occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
640to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
641nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
642modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
643not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
644covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
645
646## 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
647
648 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
649receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
650propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
651for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
652
653 An _"entity transaction"_ is a transaction transferring control of an
654organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
655organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
656work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
657transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
658licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
659give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
660Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
661the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
662
663 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
664rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
665not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
666rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
667(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
668any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
669sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
670
671## 11. Patents.
672
673 A _"contributor"_ is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
674License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
675work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
676
677 A contributor's _"essential patent claims"_ are all patent claims
678owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
679hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
680by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
681but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
682consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
683purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
684patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
685this License.
686
687 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
688patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
689make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
690propagate the contents of its contributor version.
691
692 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
693agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
694(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
695sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
696party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
697patent against the party.
698
699 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
700and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
701to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
702publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
703then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
704available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
705patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
706consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
707license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
708actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
709covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
710in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
711country that you have reason to believe are valid.
712
713 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
714arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
715covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
716receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
717or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
718you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
719work and works based on it.
720
721 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
722the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
723conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
724specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
725work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
726in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
727to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
728the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
729parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
730patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
731conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
732for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
733contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
734or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
735
736 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
737any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
738otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
739
740## 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
741
742 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
743otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
744excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
745covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
746License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
747not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
748to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
749the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
750License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
751
752## 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
753
754 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
755permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
756under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
757combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
758License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
759but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
760section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
761combination as such.
762
763## 14. Revised Versions of this License.
764
765 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
766the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
767be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
768address new problems or concerns.
769
770 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
771Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
772Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
773option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
774version or of any later version published by the Free Software
775Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
776GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
777by the Free Software Foundation.
778
779 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
780versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
781public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
782to choose that version for the Program.
783
784 Later license versions may give you additional or different
785permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
786author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
787later version.
788
789## 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
790
791 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
792APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
793HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
794OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
795THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
796PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
797IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
798ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
799
800## 16. Limitation of Liability.
801
802 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
803WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
804THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
805GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
806USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
807DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
808PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
809EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
810SUCH DAMAGES.
811
812## 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
813
814 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
815above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
816reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
817an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
818Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
819copy of the Program in return for a fee.
820

824
825# How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
826
827 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
828possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
829free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
830
831 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
832to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
833state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
834the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
835
836 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
837 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
838
839 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
840 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
841 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
842 (at your option) any later version.
843
844 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
845 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
846 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
847 GNU General Public License for more details.
848
849 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
850 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
851
852Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
853
854 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
855notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
856
857 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
858 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
859 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
860 under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
861
862 The hypothetical commands _'show w'_ and _'show c'_ should show the appropriate
863parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
864might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
865
866 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
867if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
868For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
869<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
870
871 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
872into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
873may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
874the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
875Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
876<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
