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