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