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