1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
3 |
|
4 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
|
5 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
|
6 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
|
7 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
|
8 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
|
9 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
|
10 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
|
11 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
|
12 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
|
13 |
|
14 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
15 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
16 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|
17 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|
18 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|
19 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
20 |
|
21 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
|
22 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
|
23 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
|
24 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
|
25 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
|
26 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
|
27 along with the Program. |
|
28 |
|
29 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
|
30 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|
31 |
|
32 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
|
33 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
|
34 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|
35 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
36 |
|
37 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
|
38 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
39 |
|
40 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
|
41 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
|
42 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
|
43 parties under the terms of this License. |
|
44 |
|
45 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
|
46 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
|
47 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
|
48 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
|
49 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
|
50 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
|
51 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
|
52 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
|
53 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
|
54 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
|
55 |
|
56 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
57 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
|
58 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
59 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
60 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
61 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
62 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
63 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
64 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|
65 |
|
66 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
67 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
68 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
69 collective works based on the Program. |
|
70 |
|
71 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
|
72 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
|
73 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|
74 the scope of this License. |
|
75 |
|
76 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
|
77 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
|
78 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|
79 |
|
80 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
|
81 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
|
82 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
83 |
|
84 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
|
85 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
|
86 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
|
87 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
|
88 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
|
89 customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
90 |
|
91 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
|
92 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
|
93 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
|
94 received the program in object code or executable form with such |
|
95 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|
96 |
|
97 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|
98 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
|
99 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
|
100 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
|
101 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
|
102 special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
|
103 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
|
104 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
|
105 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|
106 itself accompanies the executable. |
|
107 |
|
108 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|
109 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|
110 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|
111 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
112 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
113 |
|
114 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
|
115 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
|
116 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
|
117 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
|
118 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
|
119 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
|
120 parties remain in full compliance. |
|
121 |
|
122 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
123 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
124 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
125 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
126 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
|
127 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|
128 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
129 the Program or works based on it. |
|
130 |
|
131 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
|
132 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|
133 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
|
134 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|
135 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
136 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
137 this License. |
|
138 |
|
139 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
140 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
141 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
142 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
143 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
144 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
145 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
146 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
|
147 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
|
148 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
149 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
150 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|
151 |
|
152 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
|
153 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
|
154 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
|
155 circumstances. |
|
156 |
|
157 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
158 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
159 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
160 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
|
161 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
162 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
163 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
164 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
165 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
166 impose that choice. |
|
167 |
|
168 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
169 be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
170 |
|
171 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
|
172 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
173 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
|
174 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
|
175 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
|
176 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
|
177 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
|
178 |
|
179 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
|
180 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
|
181 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
|
182 address new problems or concerns. |
|
183 |
|
184 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|
185 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
|
186 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
|
187 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
|
188 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
|
189 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
|
190 Foundation. |
|
191 |
|
192 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
|
193 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
|
194 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
|
195 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
|
196 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
|
197 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
|
198 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
|
199 |
|
200 NO WARRANTY |
|
201 |
|
202 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
|
203 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
|
204 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
|
205 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
|
206 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
|
207 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
|
208 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
|
209 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
|
210 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
211 |
|
212 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
|
213 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
|
214 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
|
215 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
|
216 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
|
217 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
|
218 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
|
219 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
|
220 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
221 |
|
222 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
