      1                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
      2                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
      3
      4 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
      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
     11software and other kinds of works.
     12
     13  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
     14to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
     15the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
     16share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
     17software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
     18GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
     19any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
     20your programs, too.
     21
     22  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
     23price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
     24have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
     25them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
     26want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
     27free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
     28
     29  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
     30these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
     31certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
     32you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
     33
     34  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
     35gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
     36freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
     37or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
     38know 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
     42giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
     43
     44  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
     45that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
     46authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
     47changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
     48authors of previous versions.
     49
     50  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
     51modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
     52can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
     53protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
     54pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
     55use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
     56have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
     57products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
     58stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
     59of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
     60
     61  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
     62States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
     63software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
     64avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
     65make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
     66patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
     67
     68  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
     69modification 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
     78works, such as semiconductor masks.
     79
     80  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
     81License.  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
     85in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
     86exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
     87earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
     88
     89  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
     90on the Program.
     91
     92  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
     93permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
     94infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
     95computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
     96distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
     97public, and in some countries other activities as well.
     98
     99  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    100parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
    101a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
    102
    103  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
    104to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
    105feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
    106tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
    107extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
    108work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
    109the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
    110menu, 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
    115for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
    116form of a work.
    117
    118  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
    119standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    120interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
    121is widely used among developers working in that language.
    122
    123  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
    124than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
    125packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
    126Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
    127Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
    128implementation 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
    132produce 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
    135the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
    136work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
    137control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
    138System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
    139programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
    140which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
    141includes interface definition files associated with source files for
    142the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
    143linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
    144such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
    145subprograms and other parts of the work.
    146
    147  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
    148can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
    149Source.
    150
    151  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
    152same work.
    153
    154  2. Basic Permissions.
    155
    156  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
    157copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
    158conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
    159permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
    160covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
    161content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
    162rights 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
    165convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
    166in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
    167of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
    168with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
    169the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
    170not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
    171for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
    172and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
    173your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
    174
    175  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
    176the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
    177makes 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
    182measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
    18311 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
    184similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
    185measures.
    186
    187  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
    188circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
    189is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
    190the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
    191modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
    192users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
    193technological measures.
    194
    195  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
    196
    197  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
    198receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
    199appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
    200keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
    201non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
    202keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
    203recipients 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,
    206and 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
    211produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
    212terms 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
    236works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
    237and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
    238in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
    239"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
    240used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
    241beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
    242in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
    243parts 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
    248of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
    249machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
    250in 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
    294from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
    295included in conveying the object code work.
    296
    297  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
    298tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
    299or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
    300into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
    301doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
    302product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
    303typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
    304of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
    305actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
    306is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
    307commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
    308the only significant mode of use of the product.
    309
    310  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
    311procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
    312and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
    313a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
    314suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
    315code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
    316modification has been made.
    317
    318  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
    319specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
    320part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
    321User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
    322fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
    323Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
    324by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
    325if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
    326modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
    327been installed in ROM).
    328
    329  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
    330requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
    331for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
    332the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
    333network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
    334adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
    335protocols for communication across the network.
    336
    337  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
    338in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
    339documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
    340source code form), and must require no special password or key for
    341unpacking, reading or copying.
    342
    343  7. Additional Terms.
    344
    345  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
    346License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
    347Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
    348be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
    349that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
    350apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
    351under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
    352this License without regard to the additional permissions.
    353
    354  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
    355remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
    356it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
    357removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
    358additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
    359for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
    360
    361  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
    362add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
    363that 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
    389restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
    390received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
    391governed by this License along with a term that is a further
    392restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
    393a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
    394License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
    395of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
    396not survive such relicensing or conveying.
    397
    398  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
    399must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
    400additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
    401where to find the applicable terms.
    402
    403  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
    404form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
    405the above requirements apply either way.
    406
    407  8. Termination.
    408
    409  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
    410provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
    411modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
    412this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
    413paragraph of section 11).
    414
    415  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
    416license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
    417provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
    418finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
    419holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
    420prior to 60 days after the cessation.
    421
    422  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
    423reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
    424violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
    425received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
    426copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
    427your receipt of the notice.
    428
    429  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
    430licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
    431this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
    432reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
    433material 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
    438run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
    439occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
    440to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
    441nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
    442modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
    443not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
    444covered 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
    449receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
    450propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
    451for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
    452
    453  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
    454organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
    455organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
    456work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
    457transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
    458licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
    459give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
    460Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
    461the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
    462
    463  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
    464rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
    465not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
    466rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
    467(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
    468any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
    469sale, 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
    474License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
    475work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
    476
    477  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
    478owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
    479hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
    480by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
    481but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
    482consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
    483purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
    484patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
    485this License.
    486
    487  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
    488patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
    489make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
    490propagate the contents of its contributor version.
    491
    492  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
    493agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
    494(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
    495sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
    496party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
    497patent against the party.
    498
    499  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
    500and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
    501to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
    502publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
    503then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
    504available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
    505patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
    506consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
    507license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
    508actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
    509covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
    510in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
    511country that you have reason to believe are valid.
    512
    513  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
    514arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
    515covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
    516receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
    517or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
    518you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
    519work and works based on it.
    520
    521  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
    522the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
    523conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
    524specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
    525work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
    526in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
    527to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
    528the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
    529parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
    530patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
    531conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
    532for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
    533contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
    534or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
    535
    536  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
    537any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
    538otherwise 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
    543otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    544excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
    545covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    546License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
    547not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
    548to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
    549the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
    550License 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
    555permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
    556under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
    557combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
    558License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
    559but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
    560section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
    561combination as such.
    562
    563  14. Revised Versions of this License.
    564
    565  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
    566the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
    567be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
    568address new problems or concerns.
    569
    570  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
    571Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
    572Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
    573option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
    574version or of any later version published by the Free Software
    575Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
    576GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
    577by the Free Software Foundation.
    578
    579  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
    580versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
    581public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
    582to choose that version for the Program.
    583
    584  Later license versions may give you additional or different
    585permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
    586author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
    587later version.
    588
    589  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
    590
    591  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
    592APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
    593HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
    594OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
    595THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
    596PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
    597IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
    598ALL 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
    603WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
    604THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
    605GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
    606USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
    607DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
    608PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
    609EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
    610SUCH DAMAGES.
    611
    612  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
    613
    614  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
    615above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
    616reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
    617an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
    618Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
    619copy 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
    626possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
    627free 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
    630to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
    631state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
    632the "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) <year>  <name of author>
    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
    650Also 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
    653notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
    654
    655    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
    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
    660The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
    661parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
    662might 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,
    665if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
    666For 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
    670into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
    671may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
    672the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
    673Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
    674<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
