1 # GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 2 3 Version 3, 19 November 2007 4 5 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 6 <https://fsf.org/> 7 8 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this 9 license document, but changing it is not allowed. 10 11 ## Preamble 12 13 The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for 14 software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure 15 cooperation with the community in the case of network server software. 16 17 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed 18 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, 19 our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to 20 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains 21 free software for all its users. 22 23 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 24 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 25 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 26 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you 27 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new 28 free programs, and that you know you can do these things. 29 30 Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights 31 with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer 32 you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute 33 and/or modify the software. 34 35 A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that 36 improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they 37 receive widespread use, become available for other developers to 38 incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and 39 encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of 40 software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. 41 The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and 42 letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its 43 source code to the public. 44 45 The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to 46 ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available 47 to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to 48 provide the source code of the modified version running there to the 49 users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on 50 a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source 51 code of the modified version. 52 53 An older license, called the Affero General Public License and 54 published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is 55 a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has 56 released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing 57 under this license. 58 59 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 60 modification follow. 61 62 ## TERMS AND CONDITIONS 63 64 ### 0. Definitions. 65 66 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public 67 License. 68 69 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds 70 of works, such as semiconductor masks. 71 72 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this 73 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and 74 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. 75 76 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work 77 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of 78 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of 79 the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. 80 81 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based 82 on the Program. 83 84 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without 85 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for 86 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a 87 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, 88 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the 89 public, and in some countries other activities as well. 90 91 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other 92 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user 93 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not 94 conveying. 95 96 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to 97 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible 98 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) 99 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the 100 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the 101 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If 102 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a 103 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. 104 105 ### 1. Source Code. 106 107 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for 108 making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of 109 a work. 110 111 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official 112 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of 113 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that 114 is widely used among developers working in that language. 115 116 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other 117 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of 118 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major 119 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that 120 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an 121 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A 122 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component 123 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system 124 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to 125 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. 126 127 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all 128 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable 129 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to 130 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's 131 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free 132 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but 133 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source 134 includes interface definition files associated with source files for 135 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically 136 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, 137 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those 138 subprograms and other parts of the work. 139 140 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can 141 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. 142 143 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same 144 work. 145 146 ### 2. Basic Permissions. 147 148 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of 149 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated 150 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited 151 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a 152 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its 153 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your 154 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. 155 156 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, 157 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. 158 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having 159 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with 160 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the 161 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not 162 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for 163 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and 164 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your 165 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. 166 167 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the 168 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes 169 it unnecessary. 170 171 ### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. 172 173 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological 174 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 175 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or 176 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such 177 measures. 178 179 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid 180 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such 181 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with 182 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit 183 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against 184 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid 185 circumvention of technological measures. 186 187 ### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. 188 189 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you 190 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 191 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; 192 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any 193 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; 194 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all 195 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. 196 197 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, 198 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 199 200 ### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. 201 202 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to 203 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the 204 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these 205 conditions: 206 207 - a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified 208 it, and giving a relevant date. 209 - b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is 210 released under this License and any conditions added under 211 section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 212 to "keep intact all notices". 213 - c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this 214 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This 215 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 216 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, 217 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no 218 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not 219 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. 220 - d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display 221 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive 222 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your 223 work need not make them do so. 224 225 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent 226 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, 227 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, 228 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an 229 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not 230 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users 231 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work 232 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other 233 parts of the aggregate. 234 235 ### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. 236 237 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of 238 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable 239 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these 240 ways: 241 242 - a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product 243 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the 244 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium 245 customarily used for software interchange. 246 - b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product 247 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a 248 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as 249 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product 250 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a 251 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the 252 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical 253 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no 254 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this 255 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding 256 Source from a network server at no charge. 257 - c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the 258 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This 259 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and 260 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord 261 with subsection 6b. 262 - d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated 263 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the 264 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no 265 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the 266 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to 267 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source 268 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) 269 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain 270 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the 271 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the 272 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is 273 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. 274 - e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, 275 provided you inform other peers where the object code and 276 Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general 277 public at no charge under subsection 6d. 278 279 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded 280 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be 281 included in conveying the object code work. 282 283 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any 284 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, 285 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for 286 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a 287 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of 288 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, 289 "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of 290 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way 291 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected 292 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of 293 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or 294 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant 295 mode of use of the product. 296 297 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, 298 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to 299 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User 300 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The 301 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of 302 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with 303 solely because modification has been made. 304 305 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or 306 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as 307 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the 308 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a 309 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the 310 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied 311 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply 312 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install 313 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has 314 been installed in ROM). 315 316 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a 317 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or 318 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the 319 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or 320 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification 321 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network 322 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the 323 network. 324 325 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, 326 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly 327 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in 328 source code form), and must require no special password or key for 329 unpacking, reading or copying. 330 331 ### 7. Additional Terms. 332 333 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this 334 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. 335 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall 336 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent 337 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions 338 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately 339 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by 340 this License without regard to the additional permissions. 341 342 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option 343 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of 344 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own 345 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place 346 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, 347 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. 348 349 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you 350 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders 351 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: 352 353 - a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the 354 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or 355 - b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or 356 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal 357 Notices displayed by works containing it; or 358 - c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, 359 or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in 360 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or 361 - d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors 362 or authors of the material; or 363 - e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some 364 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or 365 - f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that 366 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions 367 of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, 368 for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly 369 impose on those licensors and authors. 370 371 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further 372 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you 373 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is 374 governed by this License along with a term that is a further 375 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains 376 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this 377 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms 378 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does 379 not survive such relicensing or conveying. 380 381 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you 382 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the 383 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating 384 where to find the applicable terms. 385 386 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the 387 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the 388 above requirements apply either way. 389 390 ### 8. Termination. 391 392 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly 393 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or 394 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under 395 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third 396 paragraph of section 11). 397 398 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license 399 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, 400 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally 401 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder 402 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 403 60 days after the cessation. 404 405 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is 406 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the 407 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have 408 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that 409 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after 410 your receipt of the notice. 411 412 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the 413 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under 414 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently 415 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same 416 material under section 10. 417 418 ### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. 419 420 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run 421 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work 422 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission 423 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, 424 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or 425 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do 426 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a 427 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. 428 429 ### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. 430 431 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically 432 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and 433 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible 434 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 435 436 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an 437 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an 438 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered 439 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that 440 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever 441 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could 442 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the 443 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if 444 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. 445 446 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the 447 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may 448 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of 449 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation 450 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that 451 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for 452 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. 453 454 ### 11. Patents. 455 456 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this 457 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The 458 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version". 459 460 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned 461 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or 462 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted 463 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, 464 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a 465 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For 466 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant 467 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of 468 this License. 469 470 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free 471 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to 472 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and 473 propagate the contents of its contributor version. 474 475 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express 476 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent 477 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to 478 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a 479 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a 480 patent against the party. 481 482 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, 483 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone 484 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a 485 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, 486 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so 487 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the 488 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner 489 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent 490 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have 491 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the 492 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work 493 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that 494 country that you have reason to believe are valid. 495 496 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or 497 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a 498 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties 499 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify 500 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license 501 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered 502 work and works based on it. 503 504 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the 505 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on 506 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically 507 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you 508 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the 509 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the 510 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the 511 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties 512 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent 513 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by 514 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in 515 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the 516 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent 517 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. 518 519 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting 520 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may 521 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. 522 523 ### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. 524 525 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 526 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 527 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a 528 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under 529 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a 530 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to 531 terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying 532 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could 533 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely 534 from conveying the Program. 535 536 ### 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License. 537 538 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the 539 Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users 540 interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your 541 version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the 542 Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the 543 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some 544 standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This 545 Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any 546 work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is 547 incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph. 548 549 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have 550 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed 551 under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single 552 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this 553 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, 554 but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 555 3 of the GNU General Public License. 556 557 ### 14. Revised Versions of this License. 558 559 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 560 of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new 561 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may 562 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. 563 564 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 565 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General 566 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the 567 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered 568 version or of any later version published by the Free Software 569 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the 570 GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever 571 published by the Free Software Foundation. 572 573 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions 574 of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's 575 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you 576 to choose that version for the Program. 577 578 Later license versions may give you additional or different 579 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any 580 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a 581 later version. 582 583 ### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. 584 585 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY 586 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT 587 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT 588 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT 589 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR 590 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND 591 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE 592 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR 593 CORRECTION. 594 595 ### 16. Limitation of Liability. 596 597 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 598 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR 599 CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 600 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES 601 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT 602 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR 603 LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM 604 TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER 605 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 606 607 ### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. 608 609 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided 610 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, 611 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates 612 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the 613 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a 614 copy of the Program in return for a fee. 615 616 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 617 618 ## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 619 620 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 621 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it 622 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these 623 terms. 624 625 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to 626 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state 627 the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the 628 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 629 630 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 631 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> 632 633 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify 634 it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as 635 published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the 636 License, or (at your option) any later version. 637 638 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 639 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 640 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 641 GNU Affero General Public License for more details. 642 643 You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License 644 along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. 645 646 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper 647 mail. 648 649 If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer 650 network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to 651 get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its 652 interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive 653 of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different 654 solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for 655 the specific requirements. 656 657 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or 658 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 659 necessary.
