1: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2: Version 3, 29 June 2007
3:
4: Copyright (c) 1992-2011 by Bruce Korb - all rights reserved
5: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6: of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
7:
8: Preamble
9:
10: The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
11: software and other kinds of works.
12:
13: The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
14: to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
15: the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
16: share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
17: software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
18: GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
19: any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
20: your programs, too.
21:
22: When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23: price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24: have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25: them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
26: want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
27: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28:
29: To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
30: these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
31: certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
32: you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
33:
34: For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35: gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
36: freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
37: or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
38: know their rights.
39:
40: Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
41: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
42: giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43:
44: For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
45: that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
46: authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
47: changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
48: authors of previous versions.
49:
50: Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
51: modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
52: can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
53: protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
54: pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
55: use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
56: have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
57: products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
58: stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
59: of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
60:
61: Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
62: States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
63: software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
64: avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
65: make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
66: patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
67:
68: The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
69: modification follow.
70:
71: TERMS AND CONDITIONS
72:
73: 0. Definitions.
74:
75: "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
76:
77: "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
78: works, such as semiconductor masks.
79:
80: "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
81: License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
82: "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
83:
84: To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
85: in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
86: exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
87: earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
88:
89: A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
90: on the Program.
91:
92: To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
93: permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
94: infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
95: computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
96: distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
97: public, and in some countries other activities as well.
98:
99: To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
100: parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
101: a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
102:
103: An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
104: to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
105: feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
106: tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
107: extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
108: work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
109: the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
110: menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
111:
112: 1. Source Code.
113:
114: The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
115: for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
116: form of a work.
117:
118: A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
119: standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
120: interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
121: is widely used among developers working in that language.
122:
123: The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
124: than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
125: packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
126: Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
127: Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
128: implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
129: "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
130: (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
131: (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
132: produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
133:
134: The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
135: the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
136: work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
137: control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
138: System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
139: programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
140: which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
141: includes interface definition files associated with source files for
142: the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
143: linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
144: such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
145: subprograms and other parts of the work.
146:
147: The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
148: can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
149: Source.
150:
151: The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
152: same work.
153:
154: 2. Basic Permissions.
155:
156: All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
157: copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
158: conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
159: permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
160: covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
161: content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
162: rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
163:
164: You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
165: convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
166: in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
167: of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
168: with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
169: the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
170: not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
171: for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
172: and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
173: your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
174:
175: Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
176: the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
177: makes it unnecessary.
178:
179: 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
180:
181: No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
182: measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
183: 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
184: similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
185: measures.
186:
187: When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
188: circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
189: is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
190: the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
191: modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
192: users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
193: technological measures.
194:
195: 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
196:
197: You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
198: receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
199: appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
200: keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
201: non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
202: keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
203: recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
204:
205: You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
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
485: this License.
486:
487: Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
488: patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
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
543: otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
544: excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
545: covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
546: License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
547: not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
548: to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
549: the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
550: License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
551:
552: 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
553:
554: Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
555: permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
556: under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
557: combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
558: License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
559: but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
560: section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
561: combination as such.
562:
563: 14. Revised Versions of this License.
564:
565: The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
566: the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
567: be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
568: address new problems or concerns.
569:
570: Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
571: Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
572: Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
573: option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
574: version or of any later version published by the Free Software
575: Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
576: GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
577: by the Free Software Foundation.
578:
579: If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
580: versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
581: public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
582: to choose that version for the Program.
583:
584: Later license versions may give you additional or different
585: permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
586: author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
587: later version.
588:
589: 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
590:
591: THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
592: APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
593: HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
594: OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
595: THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
596: PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
597: IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
598: ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
599:
600: 16. Limitation of Liability.
601:
602: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
603: WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
604: THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
605: GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
606: USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
607: DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
608: PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
609: EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
610: SUCH DAMAGES.
611:
612: 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
613:
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
617: an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
618: Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
619: copy of the Program in return for a fee.
620:
621: END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
622:
623: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
624:
625: If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
626: possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
627: free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
628:
629: To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
630: to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
631: state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
632: the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
633:
634: <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
635: copyright (c) by Bruce Korb - all rights reserved
636:
637: This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
638: it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
639: the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
640: (at your option) any later version.
641:
642: This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
643: but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
644: MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
645: GNU General Public License for more details.
646:
647: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
648: along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
649:
650: Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
651:
652: If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
653: notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
654:
655: <program> copyright (c) by Bruce Korb - all rights reserved
656: This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
657: This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
658: under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
659:
660: The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
661: parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
662: might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
663:
664: You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
665: if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
666: For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
667: <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
668:
669: The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
670: into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
671: may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
672: the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
673: Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
674: <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
