- TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
-
- 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
- notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under
- the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers
- to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means
- either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is
- to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
- verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.
- (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term
- "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
-
- Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
- covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
- the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
- covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program
- (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that
- is true depends on what the Program does.
-
- 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
- code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
- and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
- and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
- this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
- recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
- You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
- you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
- 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
- it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
- such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
- that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
- b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
- whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
- thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
- under the terms of this License.
-
- c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
- run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
- in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
- including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
- no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that
- users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
- the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the
- Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
- announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
- an announcement.)
-
- These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
- identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and
- can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
- themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
- sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
- distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on
- the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
- License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
- whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
- Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
- your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
- exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
- collective works based on the Program.
-
- In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
- with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
- storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
- scope of this License.
-
- 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
- under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
- Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
- a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
- source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
- and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
- b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
- to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
- physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable
- copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the
- terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
- software interchange; or,
-
- c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
- distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
- only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
- program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
- accord with Subsection b above.)
-
- The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
- making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
- code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
- associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
- compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
- exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
- normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
- components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
- which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
- executable.
-
- If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
- to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
- the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
- code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
- along with the object code.
-
- 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
- except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
- to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
- automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
- parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License
- will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain
- in full compliance.
-
- 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
- signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
- distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
- prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
- modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
- Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all
- its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
- Program or works based on it.
-
- 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
- Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
- original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
- these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
- on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
- responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
-
- 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
- infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
- conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
- otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
- excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
- distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
- License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
- may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license
- would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those
- who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way
- you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
- from distribution of the Program.
-
- If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
- any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
- apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
- circumstances.
-
- It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
- patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
- such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
- integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
- by public license practices. Many people have made generous
- contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
- system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
- the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute
- software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
- choice.
-
- This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
- be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
- 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
- certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
- original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
- add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
- countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
- not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
- limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
- 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
- of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
- be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
- address new problems or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
- specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
- later version", you have the option of following the terms and
- conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
- the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
- number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
- Free Software Foundation.
-
- 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
- programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
- author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the
- Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
- sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the
- two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
- software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
-
- NO WARRANTY
-
- 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
- WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
- EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
- OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
- EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
- WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
- ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
- YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
- NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
- 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
- WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
- AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
- DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
- DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
- (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
- INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
- THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
- OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
