6GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
7Version 3, 29 June 2007
8
9 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
10 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
11 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
12
13                            Preamble
14
15  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
16software and other kinds of works.
17
18  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
19to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
20the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
21share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
22software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
23GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
24any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
25your programs, too.
26
27  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
28price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
29have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
30them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
31want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
32free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
33
34  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
35these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
36certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
37you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
38
39  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
40gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
41freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
42or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
43know their rights.
44
45  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
46(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
47giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
48
49  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
50that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
51authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
52changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
53authors of previous versions.
54
55  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
56modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
57can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
58protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
59pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
60use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
61have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
62products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
63stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
64of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
65
66  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
67States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
68software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
69avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
70make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
71patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
72
73  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
74modification follow.
75
76                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
77
78  0. Definitions.
79
80  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
81
82  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
83works, such as semiconductor masks.
84
85  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
86License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
87"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
88
89  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
90in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
91exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
92earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
93
94  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
95on the Program.
96
97  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
98permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
99infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
100computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
101distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
102public, and in some countries other activities as well.
103
104  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
105parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
106a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
107
108  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
109to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
110feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
111tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
112extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
113work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
114the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
115menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
116
117  1. Source Code.
118
119  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
120for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
121form of a work.
122
123  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
124standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
125interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
126is widely used among developers working in that language.
127
128  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
129than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
130packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
131Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
132Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
133implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
134"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
135(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
136(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
137produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
138
139  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
140the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
141work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
142control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
143System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
144programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
145which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
146includes interface definition files associated with source files for
147the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
148linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
149such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
150subprograms and other parts of the work.
151
152  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
153can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
154Source.
155
156  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
157same work.
158
159  2. Basic Permissions.
160
161  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
162copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
163conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
164permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
165covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
166content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
167rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
168
169  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
170convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
171in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
172of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
173with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
174the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
175not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
176for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
177and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
178your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
179
180  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
181the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
182makes it unnecessary.
183
184  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
185
186  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
187measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
18811 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
189similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
190measures.
191
192  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
193circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
194is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
195the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
196modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
197users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
198technological measures.
199
200  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
201
202  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
203receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
204appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
205keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
206non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
207keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
208recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
209
210  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
211and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
212
213  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
214
215  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
216produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
217terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
218
219    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
220    it, and giving a relevant date.
221
222    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
223    released under this License and any conditions added under section
224    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
225    "keep intact all notices".
226
227    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
228    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
229    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
230    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
231    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
232    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
233    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
234
235    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
236    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
237    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
238    work need not make them do so.
239
240  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
241works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
242and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
243in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
244"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
245used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
246beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
247in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
248parts of the aggregate.
249
250  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
251
252  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
253of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
254machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
255in one of these ways:
256
257    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
258    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
259    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
260    customarily used for software interchange.
261
262    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
263    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
264    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
265    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
266    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
267    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
268    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
269    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
270    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
271    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
272    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
273
274    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
275    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
276    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
277    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
278    with subsection 6b.
279
280    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
281    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
282    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
283    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
284    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
285    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
286    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
287    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
288    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
289    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
290    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
291    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
292
293    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
294    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
295    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
296    charge under subsection 6d.
297
298  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
299from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
300included in conveying the object code work.
301
302  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
303tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
304or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
305into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
306doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
307product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
308typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
309of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
310actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
311is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
312commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
313the only significant mode of use of the product.
314
315  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
316procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
317and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
318a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
319suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
320code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
321modification has been made.
322
323  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
324specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
325part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
326User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
327fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
328Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
329by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
330if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
331modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
332been installed in ROM).
333
334  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
335requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
336for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
337the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
338network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
339adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
340protocols for communication across the network.
341
342  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
343in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
344documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
345source code form), and must require no special password or key for
346unpacking, reading or copying.
347
348  7. Additional Terms.
349
350  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
351License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
352Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
353be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
354that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
355apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
356under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
357this License without regard to the additional permissions.
358
359  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
360remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
361it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
362removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
363additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
364for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
365
366  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
367add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
368that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
369
370    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
371    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
372
373    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
374    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
375    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
376
377    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
378    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
379    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
380
381    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
382    authors of the material; or
383
384    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
385    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
386
387    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
388    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
389    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
390    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
391    those licensors and authors.
392
393  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
394restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
395received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
396governed by this License along with a term that is a further
397restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
398a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
399License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
400of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
401not survive such relicensing or conveying.
402
403  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
404must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
405additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
406where to find the applicable terms.
407
408  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
409form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
410the above requirements apply either way.
411
412  8. Termination.
413
414  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
415provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
416modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
417this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
418paragraph of section 11).
419
420  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
421license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
422provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
423finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
424holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
425prior to 60 days after the cessation.
426
427  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
428reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
429violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
430received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
431copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
432your receipt of the notice.
433
434  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
435licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
436this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
437reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
438material under section 10.
439
440  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
441
442  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
443run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
444occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
445to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
446nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
447modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
448not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
449covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
450
451  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
452
453  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
454receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
455propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
456for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
457
458  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
459organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
460organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
461work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
462transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
463licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
464give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
465Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
466the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
467
468  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
469rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
470not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
471rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
472(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
473any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
474sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
475
476  11. Patents.
477
478  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
479License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
480work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
481
482  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
483owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
484hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
485by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
486but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
487consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
488purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
489patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
490this License.
491
492  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
493patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
494make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
495propagate the contents of its contributor version.
496
497  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
498agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
499(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
500sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
501party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
502patent against the party.
503
504  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
505and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
506to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
507publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
508then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
509available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
510patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
511consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
512license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
513actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
514covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
515in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
516country that you have reason to believe are valid.
517
518  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
519arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
520covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
521receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
522or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
523you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
524work and works based on it.
525
526  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
527the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
528conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
529specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
530work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
531in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
532to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
533the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
534parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
535patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
536conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
537for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
538contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
539or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
540
541  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
542any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
543otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
544
545  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
546
547  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
548otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
549excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
550covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
551License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
552not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
553to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
554the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
555License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
556
557  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
558
559  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
560permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
561under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
562combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
563License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
564but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
565section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
566combination as such.
567
568  14. Revised Versions of this License.
569
570  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
571the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
572be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
573address new problems or concerns.
574
575  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
576Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
577Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
578option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
579version or of any later version published by the Free Software
580Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
581GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
582by the Free Software Foundation.
583
584  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
585versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
586public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
587to choose that version for the Program.
588
589  Later license versions may give you additional or different
590permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
591author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
592later version.
593
594  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
595
596  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
597APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
598HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
599OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
600THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
601PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
602IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
603ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
604
605  16. Limitation of Liability.
606
607  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
608WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
609THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
610GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
611USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
612DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
613PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
614EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
615SUCH DAMAGES.
616
617  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
618
619  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
620above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
621reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
622an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
623Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
624copy of the Program in return for a fee.

628            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
629
630  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
631possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
632free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
633
634  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
635to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
636state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
637the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
638
639    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
640    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
641
642    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
643    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
644    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
645    (at your option) any later version.
646
647    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
648    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
649    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
650    GNU General Public License for more details.
651
652    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
653    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
654
655Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
656
657  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
658notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
659
660    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
661    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
662    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
663    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
664
665The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
666parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
667might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
668
669  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
670if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
671For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
672<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
673
674  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
675into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
676may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
677the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
678Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
679<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
