GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
13
                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
14

    
15
 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
16
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
17
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
18

    
19
                            Preamble
20

    
21
  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
22
software and other kinds of works.
23

    
24
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
25
to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
26
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
27
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
28
software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
29
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
30
any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
31
your programs, too.
32

    
33
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
34
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
35
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
36
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
37
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
38
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
39

    
40
  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
41
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
42
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
43
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
44

    
45
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
46
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
47
freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
48
or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
49
know their rights.
50

    
51
  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
52
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
53
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
54

    
55
  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
56
that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
57
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
58
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
59
authors of previous versions.
60

    
61
  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
62
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
63
can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
64
protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
65
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
66
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
67
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
68
products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
69
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
70
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
71

    
72
  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
73
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
74
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
75
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
76
make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
77
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
78

    
79
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
80
modification follow.
81

    
82
                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
83

    
84
  0. Definitions.
85

    
86
  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
87

    
88
  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
89
works, such as semiconductor masks.
90

    
91
  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
92
License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
93
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
94

    
95
  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
96
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
97
exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
98
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
99

    
100
  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
101
on the Program.
102

    
103
  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
104
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
105
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
106
computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
107
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
108
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
109

    
110
  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
111
parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
112
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
113

    
114
  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
115
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
116
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
117
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
118
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
119
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
120
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
121
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
122

    
123
  1. Source Code.
124

    
125
  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
126
for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
127
form of a work.
128

    
129
  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
130
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
131
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
132
is widely used among developers working in that language.
133

    
134
  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
135
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
136
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
137
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
138
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
139
implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
140
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
141
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
142
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
143
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
144

    
145
  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
146
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
147
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
148
control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
149
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
150
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
151
which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
152
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
153
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
154
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
155
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
156
subprograms and other parts of the work.
157

    
158
  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
159
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
160
Source.
161

    
162
  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
163
same work.
164

    
165
  2. Basic Permissions.
166

    
167
  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
168
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
169
conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
170
permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
171
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
172
content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
173
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
174

    
175
  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
176
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
177
in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
178
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
179
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
180
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
181
not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
182
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
183
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
184
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
185

    
186
  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
187
the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
188
makes it unnecessary.
189

    
190
  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
191

    
192
  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
193
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
194
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
195
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
196
measures.
197

    
198
  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
199
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
200
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
201
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
202
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
203
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
204
technological measures.
205

    
206
  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
207

    
208
  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
209
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
210
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
211
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
212
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
213
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
214
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
215

    
216
  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
217
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
218

    
219
  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
220

    
221
  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
222
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
223
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
224

    
225
    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
226
    it, and giving a relevant date.
227

    
228
    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
229
    released under this License and any conditions added under section
230
    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
231
    "keep intact all notices".
232

    
233
    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
234
    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
235
    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
236
    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
237
    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
238
    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
239
    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
240

    
241
    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
242
    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
243
    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
244
    work need not make them do so.
245

    
246
  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
247
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
248
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
249
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
250
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
251
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
252
beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
253
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
254
parts of the aggregate.
255

    
256
  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
257

    
258
  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
259
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
260
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
261
in one of these ways:
262

    
263
    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
264
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
265
    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
266
    customarily used for software interchange.
267

    
268
    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
269
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
270
    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
271
    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
272
    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
273
    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
274
    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
275
    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
276
    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
277
    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
278
    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
279

    
280
    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
281
    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
282
    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
283
    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
284
    with subsection 6b.
285

    
286
    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
287
    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
288
    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
289
    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
290
    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
291
    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
292
    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
293
    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
294
    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
295
    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
296
    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
297
    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
298

    
299
    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
300
    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
301
    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
302
    charge under subsection 6d.
303

    
304
  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
305
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
306
included in conveying the object code work.
307

    
308
  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
309
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
310
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
311
into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
312
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
313
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
314
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
315
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
316
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
317
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
318
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
319
the only significant mode of use of the product.
320

    
321
  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
322
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
323
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
324
a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
325
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
326
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
327
modification has been made.
328

    
329
  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
330
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
331
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
332
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
333
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
334
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
335
by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
336
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
337
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
338
been installed in ROM).
339

    
340
  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
341
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
342
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
343
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
344
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
345
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
346
protocols for communication across the network.
347

    
348
  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
349
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
350
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
351
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
352
unpacking, reading or copying.
353

    
354
  7. Additional Terms.
355

    
356
  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
357
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
358
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
359
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
360
that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
361
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
362
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
363
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
364

    
365
  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
366
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
367
it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
368
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
369
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
370
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
371

    
372
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
373
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
374
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
375

    
376
    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
377
    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
378

    
379
    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
380
    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
381
    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
382

    
383
    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
384
    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
385
    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
386

    
387
    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
388
    authors of the material; or
389

    
390
    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
391
    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
392

    
393
    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
394
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
395
    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
396
    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
397
    those licensors and authors.
398

    
399
  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
400
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
401
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
402
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
403
restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
404
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
405
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
406
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
407
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
408

    
409
  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
410
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
411
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
412
where to find the applicable terms.
413

    
414
  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
415
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
416
the above requirements apply either way.
417

    
418
  8. Termination.
419

    
420
  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
421
provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
422
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
423
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
424
paragraph of section 11).
425

    
426
  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
427
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
428
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
429
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
430
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
431
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
432

    
433
  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
434
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
435
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
436
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
437
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
438
your receipt of the notice.
439

    
440
  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
441
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
442
this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
443
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
444
material under section 10.
445

    
446
  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
447

    
448
  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
449
run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
450
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
451
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
452
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
453
modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
454
not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
455
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
456

    
457
  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
458

    
459
  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
460
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
461
propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
462
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
463

    
464
  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
465
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
466
organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
467
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
468
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
469
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
470
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
471
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
472
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
473

    
474
  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
475
rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
476
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
477
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
478
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
479
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
480
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
481

    
482
  11. Patents.
483

    
484
  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
485
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
486
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
487

    
488
  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
489
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
490
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
491
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
492
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
493
consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
494
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
495
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
496
this License.
497

    
498
  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
499
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
500
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
501
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
502

    
503
  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
504
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
505
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
506
sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
507
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
508
patent against the party.
509

    
510
  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
511
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
512
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
513
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
514
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
515
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
516
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
517
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
518
license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
519
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
520
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
521
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
522
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
523

    
524
  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
525
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
526
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
527
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
528
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
529
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
530
work and works based on it.
531

    
532
  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
533
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
534
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
535
specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
536
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
537
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
538
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
539
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
540
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
541
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
542
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
543
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
544
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
545
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
546

    
547
  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
548
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
549
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
550

    
551
  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
552

    
553
  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
554
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
555
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
556
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
557
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
558
not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
559
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
560
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
561
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
562

    
563
  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
564

    
565
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
566
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
567
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
568
combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
569
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
570
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
571
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
572
combination as such.
573

    
574
  14. Revised Versions of this License.
575

    
576
  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
577
the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
578
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
579
address new problems or concerns.
580

    
581
  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
582
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
583
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
584
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
585
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
586
Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
587
GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
588
by the Free Software Foundation.
589

    
590
  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
591
versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
592
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
593
to choose that version for the Program.
594

    
595
  Later license versions may give you additional or different
596
permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
597
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
598
later version.
599

    
600
  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
601

    
602
  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
603
APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
604
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
605
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
606
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
607
PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
608
IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
609
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
610

    
611
  16. Limitation of Liability.
612

    
613
  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
614
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
615
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
616
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
617
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
618
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
619
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
620
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
621
SUCH DAMAGES.
622

    
623
  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
624

    
625
  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
626
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
627
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
628
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
629
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
630
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
631

    
632
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
633

    
634
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
635

    
636
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
637
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
638
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
639

    
640
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
641
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
642
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
643
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
644

    
645
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
646
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
647

    
648
    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
649
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
650
    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
651
    (at your option) any later version.
652

    
653
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
654
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
655
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
656
    GNU General Public License for more details.
657

    
658
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
659
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
660

    
661
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
662

    
663
  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
664
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
665

    
666
    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
667
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
668
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
669
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
670

    
671
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
672
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
673
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
674

    
675
  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
676
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
677
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
678
<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
679

    
680
  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
681
into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
682
may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
683
the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
684
Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
685
<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
