Update the COPYING file to the GPLv3
We switched to the GPLv3 early in 2008, but we forgot to update the
COPYING file accordingly.

61 | 73 | 0. Definitions. | |
62 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains | 74 | |
63 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | 75 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
64 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, | 76 | |
65 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" | 77 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
66 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | 78 | works, such as semiconductor masks. |
67 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | 79 | |
68 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | 80 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
69 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | 81 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
70 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". | 82 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
71 | 83 | ||
72 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | 84 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
73 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | 85 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
74 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | 86 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |
75 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | 87 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. |
76 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | 88 | |
77 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | 89 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
78 | 90 | on the Program. | |
79 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | 91 | |
80 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | 92 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
81 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | 93 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
82 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | 94 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
83 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | 95 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
84 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | 96 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
85 | along with the Program. | 97 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
86 | 98 | ||
87 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | 99 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |
88 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | 100 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
89 | 101 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. | |
90 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | 102 | |
91 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | 103 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
92 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | 104 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
93 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | 105 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
94 | 106 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | |
95 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | 107 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
96 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | 108 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
97 | 109 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | |
98 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | 110 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |

100 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | 112 | 1. Source Code. |
101 | parties under the terms of this License. | 113 | |
102 | 114 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work | |
103 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | 115 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
104 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | 116 | form of a work. |
105 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | 117 | |
106 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | 118 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
107 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | 119 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
108 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | 120 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |

110 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | 122 | |
111 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | 123 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
112 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | 124 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
113 | 125 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | |
114 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | 126 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
115 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | 127 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
116 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | 128 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
117 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | 129 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
118 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | 130 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
119 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | 131 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
120 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | 132 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
121 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | 133 | |
122 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | 134 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
123 | 135 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | |
124 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | 136 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
125 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | 137 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
126 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | 138 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
127 | collective works based on the Program. | 139 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
128 | 140 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | |
129 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | 141 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
130 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | 142 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
131 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | 143 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
132 | the scope of this License. | 144 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
133 | 145 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | |
134 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | 146 | |
135 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | 147 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
136 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | 148 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
137 | 149 | Source. | |
138 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | 150 | |
139 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | 151 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
140 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | 152 | same work. |

142 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | 154 | 2. Basic Permissions. |
143 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your | 155 | |
144 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | 156 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
145 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | 157 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
146 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | 158 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
147 | customarily used for software interchange; or, | 159 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
148 | 160 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | |
149 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | 161 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
150 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | 162 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
151 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | 163 | |

153 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) | 165 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
154 | 166 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose | |
155 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | 167 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
156 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | 168 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
157 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | 169 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
158 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | 170 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
159 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | 171 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
160 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include | 172 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
161 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | 173 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
162 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | 174 | |
163 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | 175 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
164 | itself accompanies the executable. | 176 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
165 | 177 | makes it unnecessary. | |
166 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | 178 | |
167 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | 179 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
168 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | 180 | |
169 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | 181 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
170 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | 182 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
171 | 183 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | |
172 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | 184 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
173 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | 185 | measures. |
174 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | 186 | |
175 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | 187 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
176 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | 188 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
177 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | 189 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
178 | parties remain in full compliance. | 190 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
179 | 191 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's | |
180 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | 192 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
181 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | 193 | technological measures. |
182 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | 194 | |
183 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | 195 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
184 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | 196 | |
185 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | 197 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
186 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | 198 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
187 | the Program or works based on it. | 199 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
188 | 200 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | |
189 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | 201 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
190 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | 202 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
191 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | 203 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
192 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | 204 | |
193 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | 205 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
194 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | 206 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
207 | |||
208 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | ||
209 | |||
210 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | ||
211 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | ||
212 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
213 | |||
214 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | ||
215 | it, and giving a relevant date. | ||
216 | |||
217 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | ||
218 | released under this License and any conditions added under section | ||
219 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to | ||
220 | "keep intact all notices". | ||
221 | |||
222 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | ||
223 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | ||
224 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | ||
225 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | ||
226 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | ||
227 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | ||
228 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | ||
229 | |||
230 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | ||
231 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | ||
232 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | ||
233 | work need not make them do so. | ||
234 | |||
235 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | ||
236 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | ||
237 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | ||
238 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | ||
239 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | ||
240 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | ||
241 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | ||
242 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | ||
243 | parts of the aggregate. | ||
244 | |||
245 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. | ||
246 | |||
247 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms | ||
248 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the | ||
249 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, | ||
250 | in one of these ways: | ||
251 | |||
252 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
253 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the | ||
254 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium | ||
255 | customarily used for software interchange. | ||
256 | |||
257 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product | ||
258 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a | ||
259 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as | ||
260 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product | ||
261 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a | ||
262 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the | ||
263 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical | ||
264 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no | ||
265 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this | ||
266 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the | ||
267 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. | ||
268 | |||
269 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the | ||
270 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This | ||
271 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and | ||
272 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord | ||
273 | with subsection 6b. | ||
274 | |||
275 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated | ||
276 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the | ||
277 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no | ||
278 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the | ||
279 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to | ||
280 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source | ||
281 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) | ||
282 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain | ||
283 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the | ||
284 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the | ||
285 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is | ||
286 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. | ||
287 | |||
288 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided | ||
289 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding | ||
290 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no | ||
291 | charge under subsection 6d. | ||
292 | |||
293 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded | ||
294 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be | ||
295 | included in conveying the object code work. | ||
296 | |||
297 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any | ||
298 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, | ||
299 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation | ||
300 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, | ||
301 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular | ||
302 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a | ||
303 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status | ||
304 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user | ||
305 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product | ||
306 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial | ||
307 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent | ||
308 | the only significant mode of use of the product. | ||
309 | |||
310 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, | ||
311 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install | ||
312 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from | ||
313 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must | ||
314 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object | ||
315 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because | ||
316 | modification has been made. | ||
317 | |||
318 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or | ||
319 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as | ||
320 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the | ||
321 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a | ||
322 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the | ||
323 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied | ||
324 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply | ||
325 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install | ||
326 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has | ||
327 | been installed in ROM). | ||
328 | |||
329 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a | ||
330 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates | ||
331 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for | ||
332 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a | ||
333 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and | ||
334 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and | ||
335 | protocols for communication across the network. | ||
336 | |||
337 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, | ||
338 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly | ||
339 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in | ||
340 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for | ||
341 | unpacking, reading or copying. | ||
342 | |||
343 | 7. Additional Terms. | ||
344 | |||
345 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this | ||
346 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. | ||
347 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall | ||
348 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent | ||
349 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions | ||
350 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately | ||
351 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by | ||
352 | this License without regard to the additional permissions. | ||
353 | |||
354 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option | ||
355 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of | ||
356 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own | ||
357 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place | ||
358 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, | ||
359 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. | ||
360 | |||
361 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you | ||
362 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of | ||
363 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: | ||
364 | |||
365 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the | ||
366 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or | ||
367 | |||
368 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or | ||
369 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal | ||
370 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or | ||
371 | |||
372 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or | ||
373 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in | ||
374 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or | ||
375 | |||
376 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or | ||
377 | authors of the material; or | ||
378 | |||
379 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some | ||
380 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or | ||
381 | |||
382 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that | ||
383 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of | ||
384 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for | ||
385 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on | ||
386 | those licensors and authors. | ||
387 | |||
388 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further | ||
389 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you | ||
390 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is | ||
391 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further | ||
392 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains | ||
393 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this | ||
394 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms | ||
395 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does | ||
396 | not survive such relicensing or conveying. | ||
397 | |||
398 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you | ||
399 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the | ||
400 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating | ||
401 | where to find the applicable terms. | ||
402 | |||
403 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the | ||
404 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; | ||
405 | the above requirements apply either way. | ||
406 | |||
407 | 8. Termination. | ||
408 | |||
409 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly | ||
410 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or | ||
411 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under | ||
412 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third | ||
413 | paragraph of section 11). | ||
414 | |||
415 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your | ||
416 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) | ||
417 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and | ||
418 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright | ||
419 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means | ||
420 | prior to 60 days after the cessation. | ||
421 | |||
422 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is | ||
423 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the | ||
424 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have | ||
425 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that | ||
426 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after | ||
427 | your receipt of the notice. | ||
428 | |||
429 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the | ||
430 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under | ||
431 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently | ||
432 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same | ||
433 | material under section 10. | ||
434 | |||
435 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. | ||
436 | |||
437 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or | ||
438 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work | ||
439 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission | ||
440 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, | ||
441 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or | ||
442 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do | ||
443 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a | ||
444 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. | ||
445 | |||
446 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. | ||
447 | |||
448 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically | ||
449 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and | ||
450 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible | ||
451 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. | ||
452 | |||
453 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an | ||
454 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an | ||
455 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered | ||
456 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that | ||
457 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever | ||
458 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could | ||
459 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the | ||
460 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if | ||
461 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. | ||
462 | |||
463 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the | ||
464 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may | ||
465 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of | ||
466 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation | ||
467 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that | ||
468 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for | ||
469 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. | ||
470 | |||
471 | 11. Patents. | ||
472 | |||
473 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this | ||
474 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The | ||
475 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". | ||
476 | |||
477 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims | ||
478 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or | ||
479 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted | ||
480 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, | ||
481 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a | ||
482 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For | ||
483 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant | ||
484 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of | ||
195 | this License. | 485 | this License. |
196 | 486 | ||
197 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | 487 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
198 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | 488 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
199 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | 489 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
490 | propagate the contents of its contributor version. | ||
491 | |||
492 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express | ||
493 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent | ||
494 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to | ||
495 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a | ||
496 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a | ||
497 | patent against the party. | ||
498 | |||
499 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, | ||
500 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone | ||
501 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a | ||
502 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, | ||
503 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so | ||
504 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the | ||
505 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner | ||
506 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent | ||
507 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have | ||
508 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the | ||
509 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work | ||
510 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that | ||
511 | country that you have reason to believe are valid. | ||
512 | |||
513 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or | ||
514 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a | ||
515 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties | ||
516 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify | ||
517 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license | ||
518 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered | ||
519 | work and works based on it. | ||
520 | |||
521 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within | ||
522 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is | ||
523 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are | ||
524 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered | ||
525 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is | ||
526 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment | ||
527 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying | ||
528 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the | ||
529 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory | ||
530 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work | ||
531 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily | ||
532 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that | ||
533 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, | ||
534 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. | ||
535 | |||
536 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting | ||
537 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may | ||
538 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. | ||
539 | |||
540 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. | ||
541 | |||
542 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
200 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | 543 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
201 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | 544 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a |
202 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | 545 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
203 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | 546 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may |
204 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | 547 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you |
205 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | 548 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey |
206 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | 549 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this |
207 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | 550 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
208 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | 551 | |
209 | 552 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. | |
210 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | 553 | |
211 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | 554 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
212 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | 555 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed |
213 | circumstances. | 556 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single |
214 | 557 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this | |
215 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | 558 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, |
216 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | 559 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, |
217 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | 560 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the |
218 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | 561 | combination as such. |
219 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | 562 | |
220 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | 563 | 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
221 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | 564 | |
222 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | 565 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of |
223 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | 566 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
224 | impose that choice. | ||
225 | |||
226 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
227 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | ||
230 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
231 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | ||
232 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | ||
233 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | ||
234 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | ||
235 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | ||
236 | |||
237 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
238 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||
239 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | 567 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
240 | address new problems or concerns. | 568 | address new problems or concerns. |
241 | 569 | ||
242 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | 570 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
243 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | 571 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General |
244 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | 572 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the |
245 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | 573 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered |
246 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | 574 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software |
247 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | 575 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the |
248 | Foundation. | 576 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published |
249 | 577 | by the Free Software Foundation. | |
250 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | 578 | |
251 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | 579 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future |
252 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | 580 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's |
253 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | 581 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you |
254 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | 582 | to choose that version for the Program. |
255 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | 583 | |
256 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | 584 | Later license versions may give you additional or different |
257 | 585 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
258 | NO WARRANTY | 586 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
259 | 587 | later version. | |
260 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | 588 | |
261 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | 589 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
262 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | 590 | |

264 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | 592 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
265 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | 593 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |
266 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | 594 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |

268 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | 596 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM |
269 | 597 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | |
270 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | 598 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
271 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | 599 | |
272 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | 600 | 16. Limitation of Liability. |
273 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | 601 | |
274 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | 602 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |

277 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | 605 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
278 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | 606 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |

614 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | ||
615 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | ||
616 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | ||
