     2                         Version 3, 29 June 2007
     3  
     4   Copyright (C) 2014 The go-ethereum Authors.
     5   Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
     6   of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
     7  
     8                              Preamble
     9  
    10    The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
    11  software and other kinds of works.
    12  
    13    The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
    14  to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
    15  the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
    16  share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
    17  software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
    18  GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
    19  any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
    20  your programs, too.
    21  
    22    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    23  price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    24  have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    25  them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
    26  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
    27  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
    28  
    29    To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
    30  these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
    31  certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
    32  you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
    33  
    34    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    35  gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
    36  freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
    37  or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
    38  know their rights.
    39  
    40    Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
    41  (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
    42  giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
    43  
    44    For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
    45  that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
    46  authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
    47  changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
    48  authors of previous versions.
    49  
    50    Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
    51  modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
    52  can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
    53  protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
    54  pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
    55  use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
    56  have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
    57  products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
    58  stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
    59  of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
    60  
    61    Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
    62  States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
    63  software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
    64  avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
    65  make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
    66  patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
    67  
    68    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    69  modification follow.
    70  
    71                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    72  
    73    0. Definitions.
    74  
    75    "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
    76  
    77    "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
    78  works, such as semiconductor masks.
    79  
    80    "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    81  License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
    82  "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
    83  
    84    To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
    85  in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
    86  exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
    87  earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
    88  
    89    A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
    90  on the Program.
    91  
    92    To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
    93  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    94  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
    95  computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
    96  distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
    97  public, and in some countries other activities as well.
    98  
    99    To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
   100  parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
   101  a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
   102  
   103    An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
   104  to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
   105  feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
   106  tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
   107  extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
   108  work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
   109  the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
   110  menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
   111  
   112    1. Source Code.
   113  
   114    The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
   115  for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
   116  form of a work.
   117  
   118    A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
   119  standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
   120  interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
   121  is widely used among developers working in that language.
   122  
   123    The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
   124  than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
   125  packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
   126  Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
   127  Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
   128  implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
   129  "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
   130  (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
   131  (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
   132  produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
   133  
   134    The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
   135  the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
   136  work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
   137  control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
   138  System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
   139  programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
   140  which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
   141  includes interface definition files associated with source files for
   142  the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
   143  linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
   144  such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
   145  subprograms and other parts of the work.
   146  
   147    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
   148  can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
   149  Source.
   150  
   151    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
   152  same work.
   153  
   154    2. Basic Permissions.
   155  
   156    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
   157  copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
   158  conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
   159  permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
   160  covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
   161  content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
   162  rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
   163  
   164    You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
   165  convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
   166  in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
   167  of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
   168  with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
   169  the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
   170  not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
   171  for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
   172  and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
   173  your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
   174  
   175    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
   176  the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
   177  makes it unnecessary.
   178  
   179    3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
   180  
   181    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
   182  measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
   183  11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
   184  similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
   185  measures.
   186  
   187    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
   188  circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
   189  is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
   190  the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
   191  modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
   192  users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
   193  technological measures.
   194  
   195    4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
   196  
   197    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
   198  receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
   199  appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
   200  keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
   201  non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
   202  keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
   203  recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
   204  
   205    You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
   206  and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
   207  
   208    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
   209  
   210    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
   211  produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
   212  terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   213  
   214      a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
   215      it, and giving a relevant date.
   216  
   217      b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
   218      released under this License and any conditions added under section
   219      7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
   220      "keep intact all notices".
   221  
   222      c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
   223      License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
   224      License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
   225      additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
   226      regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
   227      permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
   228      invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
   229  
   230      d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
   231      Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
   232      interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
   233      work need not make them do so.
   234  
   235    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
   236  works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
   237  and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
   238  in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
   239  "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
   240  used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
   241  beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
   242  in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
   243  parts of the aggregate.
   244  
   245    6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
   246  
   247    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
   248  of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
   249  machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
   250  in one of these ways:
   251  
   252      a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   253      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
   254      Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
   255      customarily used for software interchange.
   256  
   257      b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   258      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
   259      written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
   260      long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
   261      model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
   262      copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
   263      product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
   264      medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
   265      more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
   266      conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
   267      Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
   268  
   269      c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
   270      written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
   271      alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
   272      only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
   273      with subsection 6b.
   274  
   275      d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
   276      place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
   277      Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
   278      further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
   279      Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
   280      copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
   281      may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
   282      that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
   283      clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
   284      Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
   285      Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
   286      available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
   287  
   288      e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
   289      you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
   290      Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
   291      charge under subsection 6d.
   292  
   293    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
   294  from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
   295  included in conveying the object code work.
   296  
   297    A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
   298  tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
   299  or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
   300  into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
   301  doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
   302  product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
   303  typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
   304  of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
   305  actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
   306  is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
   307  commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
   308  the only significant mode of use of the product.
   309  
   310    "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
   311  procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
   312  and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
   313  a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
   314  suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
   315  code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
   316  modification has been made.
   317  
   318    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
   319  specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
   320  part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
   321  User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
   322  fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
   323  Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
   324  by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
   325  if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
   326  modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
   327  been installed in ROM).
   328  
   329    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
   330  requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
   331  for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
   332  the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
   333  network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
   334  adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
   335  protocols for communication across the network.
   336  
   337    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
   338  in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
   339  documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
   340  source code form), and must require no special password or key for
   341  unpacking, reading or copying.
   342  
   343    7. Additional Terms.
   344  
   345    "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
   346  License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
   347  Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
   348  be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
   349  that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
   350  apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
   351  under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
   352  this License without regard to the additional permissions.
   353  
   354    When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
   355  remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
   356  it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
   357  removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
   358  additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
   359  for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
   360  
   361    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
   362  add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
   363  that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
   364  
   365      a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
   366      terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
   367  
   368      b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
   369      author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
   370      Notices displayed by works containing it; or
   371  
   372      c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
   373      requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
   374      reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
   375  
   376      d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
   377      authors of the material; or
   378  
   379      e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
   380      trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
   381  
   382      f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
   383      material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
   384      it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
   385      any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
   386      those licensors and authors.
   387  
   388    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
   389  restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
   390  received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
   391  governed by this License along with a term that is a further
   392  restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
   393  a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
   394  License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
   395  of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
   396  not survive such relicensing or conveying.
   397  
   398    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
   399  must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
   400  additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
   401  where to find the applicable terms.
   402  
   403    Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
   404  form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
   405  the above requirements apply either way.
   406  
   407    8. Termination.
   408  
   409    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
   410  provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
   411  modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
   412  this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
   413  paragraph of section 11).
   414  
   415    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
   416  license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
   417  provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
   418  finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
   419  holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
   420  prior to 60 days after the cessation.
   421  
   422    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
   423  reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
   424  violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
   425  received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
   426  copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
   427  your receipt of the notice.
   428  
   429    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
   430  licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
   431  this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
   432  reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
   433  material under section 10.
   434  
   435    9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
   436  
   437    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
   438  run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
   439  occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
   440  to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
   441  nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
   442  modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
   443  not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
   444  covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
   445  
   446    10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
   447  
   448    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
   449  receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
   450  propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
   451  for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
   452  
   453    An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
   454  organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
   455  organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
   456  work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
   457  transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
   458  licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
   459  give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
   460  Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
   461  the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
   462  
   463    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
   464  rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
   465  not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
   466  rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
   467  (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
   468  any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
   469  sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
   470  
   471    11. Patents.
   472  
   473    A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
   474  License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
   475  work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
   476  
   477    A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
   478  owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
   479  hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
   480  by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
   481  but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
   482  consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
   483  purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
   484  patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
   485  this License.
   486  
   487    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
   488  patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
   489  make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
   490  propagate the contents of its contributor version.
   491  
   492    In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
   493  agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
   494  (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
   495  sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
   496  party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
   497  patent against the party.
   498  
   499    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
   500  and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
   501  to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
   502  publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
   503  then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
   504  available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
   505  patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
   506  consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
   507  license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
   508  actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
   509  covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
   510  in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
   511  country that you have reason to believe are valid.
   512  
   513    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
   514  arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
   515  covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
   516  receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
   517  or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
   518  you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
   519  work and works based on it.
   520  
   521    A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
   522  the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
   523  conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
   524  specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
   525  work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
   526  in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
   527  to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
   528  the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
   529  parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
   530  patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
   531  conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
   532  for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
   533  contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
   534  or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
   535  
   536    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
   537  any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
   538  otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
   539  
   540    12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
   541  
   542    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   543  otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   544  excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
   545  covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
   546  License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
   547  not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
   548  to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
   549  the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
   550  License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
   551  
   552    13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
   553  
   554    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
   555  permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
   556  under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
   557  combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
   558  License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
   559  but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
   560  section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
   561  combination as such.
   562  
   563    14. Revised Versions of this License.
   564  
   565    The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
   566  the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
   567  be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
   568  address new problems or concerns.
   569  
   570    Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
   571  Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
   572  Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
   573  option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
   574  version or of any later version published by the Free Software
   575  Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
   576  GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
   577  by the Free Software Foundation.
   578  
   579    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
   580  versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
   581  public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
   582  to choose that version for the Program.
   583  
   584    Later license versions may give you additional or different
   585  permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
   586  author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
   587  later version.
   588  
   589    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
   590  
   591    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   592  APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
   593  HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
   594  OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
   595  THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   596  PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
   597  IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
   598  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   599  
   600    16. Limitation of Liability.
   601  
   602    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   603  WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
   604  THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
   605  GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
   606  USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
   607  DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
   608  PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
   609  EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
   610  SUCH DAMAGES.
   611  
   612    17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
   613  
   614    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
   615  above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
   616  reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
   617  an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
   618  Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
   619  copy of the Program in return for a fee.
