32                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
33                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
34
35 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
36 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
37 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
38
39                            Preamble
40
41  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
42software and other kinds of works.
43
44  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
45to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
46the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
47share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
48software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
49GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
50any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
51your programs, too.
52
53  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
54price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
55have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
56them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
57want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
58free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
59
60  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
61these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
62certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
63you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
64
65  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
66gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
67freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
68or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
69know their rights.
70
71  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
72(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
73giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
74
75  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
76that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
77authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
78changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
79authors of previous versions.
80
81  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
82modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
83can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
84protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
85pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
86use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
87have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
88products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
89stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
90of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
91
92  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
93States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
94software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
95avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
96make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
97patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
98
99  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
100modification follow.
101
102                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
103
104  0. Definitions.
105
106  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
107
108  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
109works, such as semiconductor masks.
110
111  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
112License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
113"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
114
115  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
116in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
117exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
118earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
119
120  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
121on the Program.
122
123  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
124permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
125infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
126computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
127distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
128public, and in some countries other activities as well.
129
130  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
131parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
132a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
133
134  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
135to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
136feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
137tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
138extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
139work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
140the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
141menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
142
143  1. Source Code.
144
145  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
146for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
147form of a work.
148
149  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
150standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
151interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
152is widely used among developers working in that language.
153
154  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
155than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
156packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
157Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
158Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
159implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
160"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
161(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
162(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
163produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
164
165  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
166the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
167work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
168control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
169System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
170programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
171which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
172includes interface definition files associated with source files for
173the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
174linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
175such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
176subprograms and other parts of the work.
177
178  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
179can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
180Source.
181
182  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
183same work.
184
185  2. Basic Permissions.
186
187  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
188copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
189conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
190permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
191covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
192content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
193rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
194
195  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
196convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
197in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
198of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
199with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
200the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
201not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
202for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
203and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
204your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
205
206  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
207the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
208makes it unnecessary.
209
210  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
211
212  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
213measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
21411 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
215similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
216measures.
217
218  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
219circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
220is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
221the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
222modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
223users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
224technological measures.
225
226  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
227
228  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
229receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
230appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
231keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
232non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
233keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
234recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
235
236  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
237and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
238
239  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
240
241  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
242produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
243terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
244
245    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
246    it, and giving a relevant date.
247
248    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
249    released under this License and any conditions added under section
250    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
251    "keep intact all notices".
252
253    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
254    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
255    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
256    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
257    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
258    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
259    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
260
261    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
262    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
263    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
264    work need not make them do so.
265
266  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
267works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
268and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
269in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
270"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
271used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
272beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
273in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
274parts of the aggregate.
275
276  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
277
278  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
279of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
280machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
281in one of these ways:
282
283    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
284    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
285    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
286    customarily used for software interchange.
287
288    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
289    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
290    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
291    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
292    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
293    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
294    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
295    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
296    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
297    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
298    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
299
300    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
301    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
302    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
303    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
304    with subsection 6b.
305
306    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
307    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
308    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
309    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
310    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
311    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
312    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
313    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
314    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
315    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
316    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
317    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
318
319    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
320    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
321    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
322    charge under subsection 6d.
323
324  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
325from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
326included in conveying the object code work.
327
328  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
329tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
330or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
331into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
332doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
333product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
334typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
335of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
336actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
337is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
338commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
339the only significant mode of use of the product.
340
341  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
342procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
343and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
344a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
345suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
346code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
347modification has been made.
348
349  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
350specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
351part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
352User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
353fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
354Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
355by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
356if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
357modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
358been installed in ROM).
359
360  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
361requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
362for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
363the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
364network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
365adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
366protocols for communication across the network.
367
368  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
369in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
370documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
371source code form), and must require no special password or key for
372unpacking, reading or copying.
373
374  7. Additional Terms.
375
376  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
377License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
378Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
379be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
380that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
381apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
382under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
383this License without regard to the additional permissions.
384
385  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
386remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
387it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
388removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
389additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
390for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
391
392  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
393add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
394that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
395
396    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
397    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
398
399    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
400    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
401    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
402
403    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
404    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
405    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
406
407    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
408    authors of the material; or
409
410    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
411    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
412
413    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
414    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
415    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
416    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
417    those licensors and authors.
418
419  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
420restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
421received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
422governed by this License along with a term that is a further
423restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
424a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
425License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
426of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
427not survive such relicensing or conveying.
428
429  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
430must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
431additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
432where to find the applicable terms.
433
434  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
435form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
436the above requirements apply either way.
437
438  8. Termination.
439
440  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
441provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
442modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
443this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
444paragraph of section 11).
445
446  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
447license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
448provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
449finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
450holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
451prior to 60 days after the cessation.
452
453  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
454reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
455violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
456received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
457copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
458your receipt of the notice.
459
460  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
461licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
462this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
463reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
464material under section 10.
465
466  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
467
468  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
469run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
470occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
471to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
472nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
473modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
474not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
475covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
476
477  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
478
479  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
480receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
481propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
482for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
483
484  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
485organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
486organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
487work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
488transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
489licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
490give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
491Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
492the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
493
494  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
495rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
496not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
497rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
498(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
499any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
500sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
501
502  11. Patents.
503
504  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
505License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
506work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
507
508  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
509owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
510hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
511by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
512but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
513consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
514purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
515patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
516this License.
517
518  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
519patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
520make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
521propagate the contents of its contributor version.
522
523  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
524agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
525(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
526sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
527party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
528patent against the party.
529
530  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
531and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
532to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
533publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
534then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
535available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
536patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
537consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
538license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
539actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
540covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
541in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
542country that you have reason to believe are valid.
543
544  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
545arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
546covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
547receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
548or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
549you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
550work and works based on it.
551
552  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
553the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
554conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
555specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
556work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
557in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
558to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
559the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
560parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
561patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
562conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
563for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
564contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
565or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
566
567  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
568any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
569otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
570
571  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
572
573  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
574otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
575excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
576covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
577License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
578not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
579to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
580the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
581License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
582
583  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
584
585  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
586permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
587under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
588combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
589License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
590but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
591section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
592combination as such.
593
594  14. Revised Versions of this License.
595
596  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
597the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
598be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
599address new problems or concerns.
600
601  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
602Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
603Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
604option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
605version or of any later version published by the Free Software
606Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
607GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
608by the Free Software Foundation.
609
610  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
611versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
612public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
613to choose that version for the Program.
614
615  Later license versions may give you additional or different
616permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
617author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
618later version.
619
620  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
621
622  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
623APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
624HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
625OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
626THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
627PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
628IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
629ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
630
631  16. Limitation of Liability.
632
633  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
634WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
635THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
636GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
637USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
638DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
639PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
640EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
641SUCH DAMAGES.
642
643  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
644
645  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
646above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
647reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
648an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
649Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
650copy of the Program in return for a fee.
651
652                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
653
654            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
655
656  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
657possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
658free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
659
660  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
661to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
662state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
663the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
664
665    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
666    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
667
668    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
669    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
670    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
671    (at your option) any later version.
672
673    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
674    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
675    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
676    GNU General Public License for more details.
677
678    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
679    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
680
681Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
682
683  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
684notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
685
686    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
687    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
688    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
689    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
690
691The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
692parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
693might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
694
695  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
696if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
697For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
698<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
699
700  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
701into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
702may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
703the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
704Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
705<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
