    45                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    46  
    47    0. Definitions.
    48  
    49    "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
    50  
    51    "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
    52  works, such as semiconductor masks.
    53  
    54    "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
    55  License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
    56  "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
    57  
    58    To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
    59  in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
    60  exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
    61  earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
    62  
    63    A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
    64  on the Program.
    65  
    66    To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
    67  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
    68  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
    69  computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
    70  distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
    71  public, and in some countries other activities as well.
    72  
    73    To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
    74  parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
    75  a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
    76  
    77    An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
    78  to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
    79  feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
    80  tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
    81  extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
    82  work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
    83  the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
    84  menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
    85  
    86    1. Source Code.
    87  
    88    The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
    89  for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
    90  form of a work.
    91  
    92    A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
    93  standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
    94  interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
    95  is widely used among developers working in that language.
    96  
    97    The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
    98  than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
    99  packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
   100  Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
   101  Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
   102  implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
   103  "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
   104  (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
   105  (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
   106  produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
   107  
   108    The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
   109  the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
   110  work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
   111  control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
   112  System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
   113  programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
   114  which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
   115  includes interface definition files associated with source files for
   116  the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
   117  linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
   118  such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
   119  subprograms and other parts of the work.
   120  
   121    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
   122  can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
   123  Source.
   124  
   125    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
   126  same work.
   127  
   128    2. Basic Permissions.
   129  
   130    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
   131  copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
   132  conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
   133  permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
   134  covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
   135  content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
   136  rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
   137  
   138    You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
   139  convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
   140  in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
   141  of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
   142  with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
   143  the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
   144  not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
   145  for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
   146  and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
   147  your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
   148  
   149    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
   150  the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
   151  makes it unnecessary.
   152  
   153    3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
   154  
   155    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
   156  measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
   157  11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
   158  similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
   159  measures.
   160  
   161    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
   162  circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
   163  is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
   164  the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
   165  modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
   166  users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
   167  technological measures.
   168  
   169    4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
   170  
   171    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
   172  receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
   173  appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
   174  keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
   175  non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
   176  keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
   177  recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
   178  
   179    You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
   180  and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
   181  
   182    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
   183  
   184    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
   185  produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
   186  terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   187  
   188      a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
   189      it, and giving a relevant date.
   190  
   191      b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
   192      released under this License and any conditions added under section
   193      7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
   194      "keep intact all notices".
   195  
   196      c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
   197      License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
   198      License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
   199      additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
   200      regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
   201      permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
   202      invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
   203  
   204      d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
   205      Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
   206      interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
   207      work need not make them do so.
   208  
   209    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
   210  works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
   211  and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
   212  in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
   213  "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
   214  used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
   215  beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
   216  in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
   217  parts of the aggregate.
   218  
   219    6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
   220  
   221    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
   222  of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
   223  machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
   224  in one of these ways:
   225  
   226      a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   227      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
   228      Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
   229      customarily used for software interchange.
   230  
   231      b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   232      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
   233      written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
   234      long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
   235      model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
   236      copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
   237      product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
   238      medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
   239      more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
   240      conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
   241      Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
   242  
   243      c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
   244      written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
   245      alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
   246      only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
   247      with subsection 6b.
   248  
   249      d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
   250      place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
   251      Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
   252      further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
   253      Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
   254      copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
   255      may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
   256      that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
   257      clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
   258      Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
   259      Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
   260      available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
   261  
   262      e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
   263      you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
   264      Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
   265      charge under subsection 6d.
   266  
   267    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
   268  from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
   269  included in conveying the object code work.
   270  
   271    A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
   272  tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
   273  or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
   274  into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
   275  doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
   276  product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
   277  typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
   278  of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
   279  actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
   280  is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
   281  commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
   282  the only significant mode of use of the product.
   283  
   284    "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
   285  procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
   286  and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
   287  a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
   288  suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
   289  code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
   290  modification has been made.
   291  
   292    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
   293  specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
   294  part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
   295  User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
   296  fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
   297  Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
   298  by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
   299  if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
   300  modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
   301  been installed in ROM).
   302  
   303    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
   304  requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
   305  for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
   306  the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
   307  network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
   308  adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
   309  protocols for communication across the network.
   310  
   311    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
   312  in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
   313  documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
   314  source code form), and must require no special password or key for
   315  unpacking, reading or copying.
   316  
   317    7. Additional Terms.
   318  
   319    "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
   320  License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
   321  Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
   322  be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
   323  that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
   324  apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
   325  under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
   326  this License without regard to the additional permissions.
   327  
   328    When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
   329  remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
   330  it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
   331  removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
   332  additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
   333  for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
   334  
   335    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
   336  add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
   337  that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
   338  
   339      a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
   340      terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
   341  
   342      b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
   343      author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
   344      Notices displayed by works containing it; or
   345  
   346      c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
   347      requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
   348      reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
   349  
   350      d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
   351      authors of the material; or
   352  
   353      e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
   354      trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
   355  
   356      f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
   357      material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
   358      it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
   359      any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
   360      those licensors and authors.
   361  
   362    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
   363  restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
   364  received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
   365  governed by this License along with a term that is a further
   366  restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
   367  a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
   368  License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
   369  of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
   370  not survive such relicensing or conveying.
   371  
   372    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
   373  must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
   374  additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
   375  where to find the applicable terms.
   376  
   377    Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
   378  form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
   379  the above requirements apply either way.
   380  
   381    8. Termination.
   382  
   383    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
   384  provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
   385  modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
   386  this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
   387  paragraph of section 11).
   388  
   389    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
   390  license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
   391  provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
   392  finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
   393  holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
   394  prior to 60 days after the cessation.
   395  
   396    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
   397  reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
   398  violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
   399  received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
   400  copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
   401  your receipt of the notice.
   402  
   403    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
   404  licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
   405  this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
   406  reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
   407  material under section 10.

   409    9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
   410  
   411    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
   412  run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
   413  occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
   414  to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
   415  nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
   416  modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
   417  not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
   418  covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
   419  
   420    10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
   421  
   422    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
   423  receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
   424  propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
   425  for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
   426  
   427    An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
   428  organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
   429  organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
   430  work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
   431  transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
   432  licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
   433  give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
   434  Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
   435  the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
   436  
   437    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
   438  rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
   439  not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
   440  rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
   441  (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
   442  any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
   443  sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
   444  
   445    11. Patents.
   446  
   447    A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
   448  License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
   449  work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
   450  
   451    A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
   452  owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
   453  hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
   454  by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
   455  but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
   456  consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
   457  purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
   458  patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
   459  this License.
   460  
   461    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
   462  patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
   463  make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
   464  propagate the contents of its contributor version.
   465  
   466    In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
   467  agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
   468  (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
   469  sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
   470  party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
   471  patent against the party.
   472  
   473    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
   474  and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
   475  to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
   476  publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
   477  then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
   478  available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
   479  patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
   480  consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
   481  license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
   482  actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
   483  covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
   484  in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
   485  country that you have reason to believe are valid.
   486  
   487    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
   488  arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
   489  covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
   490  receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
   491  or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
   492  you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
   493  work and works based on it.
   494  
   495    A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
   496  the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
   497  conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
   498  specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
   499  work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
   500  in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
   501  to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
   502  the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
   503  parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
   504  patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
   505  conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
   506  for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
   507  contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
   508  or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
   509  
   510    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
   511  any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
   512  otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
   513  
   514    12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
   515  
   516    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   517  otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   518  excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
   519  covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
   520  License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
   521  not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
   522  to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
   523  the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
   524  License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
   525  
   526    13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
   527  
   528    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
   529  permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
   530  under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
   531  combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
   532  License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
   533  but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
   534  section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
   535  combination as such.
   536  
   537    14. Revised Versions of this License.
   538  
   539    The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
   540  the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
   541  be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
   542  address new problems or concerns.
   543  
   544    Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
   545  Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
   546  Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
   547  option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
   548  version or of any later version published by the Free Software
   549  Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
   550  GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
   551  by the Free Software Foundation.
   552  
   553    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
   554  versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
   555  public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
   556  to choose that version for the Program.
   557  
   558    Later license versions may give you additional or different
   559  permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
   560  author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
   561  later version.
   562  
   563    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
   564  
   565    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   566  APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
   567  HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
   568  OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
   569  THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   570  PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
   571  IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
   572  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   573  
   574    16. Limitation of Liability.
   575  
   576    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   577  WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
   578  THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
   579  GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
   580  USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
   581  DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
   582  PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
   583  EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
   584  SUCH DAMAGES.
   585  
   586    17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
   587  
   588    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
   589  above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
   590  reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
   591  an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
   592  Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
   593  copy of the Program in return for a fee.
   594  
   595                       END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS`
