# GNU General Public License
|
||
|
||
*Version 3, 29 June 2007*
|
||
*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.
|
||
|
||
*END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS*

|
||
## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
||
|
||
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
||
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
||
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
|
||
terms.
|
||
|
||
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
|
||
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state
|
||
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
|
||
“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
||
|
||
``` R
|
||
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
||
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
||
|
||
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
||
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
||
the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
|
||
(at your option) any later version.
|
||
|
||
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
||
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
||
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|
||
GNU General Public License for more details.
|
||
|
||
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
||
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
||
|
||
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice
|
||
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
||
|
||
``` R
|
||
<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
||
This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
|
||
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
||
under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the
|
||
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your
|
||
program’s commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
|
||
use an “about box”.
|
||
|
||
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
|
||
school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
|
||
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the
|
||
GNU GPL, see \<<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>\>.
|
||
|
||
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
|
||
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
|
||
library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
|
||
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
|
||
GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first,
|
||
please read
