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