    29                      GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    30                         Version 3, 29 June 2007
    31  
    32   Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
    33   Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    34   of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    35  
    36                              Preamble
    37  
    38    The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
    39  software and other kinds of works.
    40  
    41    The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
    42  to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
    43  the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
    44  share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
    45  software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
    46  GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
    47  any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
    48  your programs, too.
    49  
    50    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    51  price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    52  have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    53  them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
    54  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
    55  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
    56  
    57    To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
    58  these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
    59  certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
    60  you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
    61  
    62    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    63  gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
    64  freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
    65  or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
    66  know their rights.
    67  
    68    Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
    69  (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
    70  giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
    71  
    72    For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
    73  that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
    74  authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
    75  changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
    76  authors of previous versions.
    77  
    78    Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
    79  modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
    80  can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
    81  protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
    82  pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
    83  use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
    84  have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
    85  products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
    86  stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
    87  of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
    88  
    89    Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
    90  States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
    91  software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
    92  avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
    93  make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
    94  patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
    95  
    96    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    97  modification follow.
    98  
    99                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS
   100  
   101    0. Definitions.
   102  
   103    "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
   104  
   105    "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
   106  works, such as semiconductor masks.
   107  
   108    "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
   109  License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
   110  "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
   111  
   112    To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
   113  in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
   114  exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
   115  earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
   116  
   117    A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
   118  on the Program.
   119  
   120    To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
   121  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
   122  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
   123  computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
   124  distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
   125  public, and in some countries other activities as well.
   126  
   127    To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
   128  parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
   129  a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
   130  
   131    An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
   132  to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
   133  feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
   134  tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
   135  extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
   136  work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
   137  the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
   138  menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
   139  
   140    1. Source Code.
   141  
   142    The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
   143  for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
   144  form of a work.
   145  
   146    A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
   147  standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
   148  interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
   149  is widely used among developers working in that language.
   150  
   151    The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
   152  than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
   153  packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
   154  Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
   155  Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
   156  implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
   157  "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
   158  (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
   159  (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
   160  produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
   161  
   162    The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
   163  the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
   164  work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
   165  control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
   166  System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
   167  programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
   168  which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
   169  includes interface definition files associated with source files for
   170  the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
   171  linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
   172  such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
   173  subprograms and other parts of the work.
   174  
   175    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
   176  can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
   177  Source.
   178  
   179    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
   180  same work.
   181  
   182    2. Basic Permissions.
   183  
   184    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
   185  copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
   186  conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
   187  permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
   188  covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
   189  content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
   190  rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
   191  
   192    You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
   193  convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
   194  in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
   195  of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
   196  with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
   197  the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
   198  not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
   199  for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
   200  and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
   201  your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
   202  
   203    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
   204  the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
   205  makes it unnecessary.
   206  
   207    3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
   208  
   209    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
   210  measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
   211  11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
   212  similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
   213  measures.
   214  
   215    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
   216  circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
   217  is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
   218  the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
   219  modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
   220  users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
   221  technological measures.
   222  
   223    4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
   224  
   225    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
   226  receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
   227  appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
   228  keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
   229  non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
   230  keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
   231  recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
   232  
   233    You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
   234  and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
   235  
   236    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
   237  
   238    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
   239  produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
   240  terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   241  
   242      a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
   243      it, and giving a relevant date.
   244  
   245      b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
   246      released under this License and any conditions added under section
   247      7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
   248      "keep intact all notices".
   249  
   250      c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
   251      License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
   252      License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
   253      additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
   254      regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
   255      permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
   256      invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
   257  
   258      d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
   259      Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
   260      interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
   261      work need not make them do so.
   262  
   263    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
   264  works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
   265  and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
   266  in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
   267  "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
   268  used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
   269  beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
   270  in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
   271  parts of the aggregate.
   272  
   273    6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
   274  
   275    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
   276  of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
   277  machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
   278  in one of these ways:
   279  
   280      a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   281      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
   282      Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
   283      customarily used for software interchange.
   284  
   285      b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
   286      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
   287      written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
   288      long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
   289      model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
   290      copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
   291      product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
   292      medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
   293      more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
   294      conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
   295      Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
   296  
   297      c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
   298      written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
   299      alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
   300      only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
   301      with subsection 6b.
   302  
   303      d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
   304      place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
   305      Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
   306      further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
   307      Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
   308      copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
   309      may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
   310      that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
   311      clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
   312      Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
   313      Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
   314      available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
   315  
   316      e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
   317      you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
   318      Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
   319      charge under subsection 6d.
   320  
   321    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
   322  from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
   323  included in conveying the object code work.
   324  
   325    A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
   326  tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
   327  or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
   328  into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
   329  doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
   330  product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
   331  typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
   332  of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
   333  actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
   334  is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
   335  commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
   336  the only significant mode of use of the product.
   337  
   338    "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
   339  procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
   340  and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
   341  a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
   342  suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
   343  code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
   344  modification has been made.
   345  
   346    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
   347  specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
   348  part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
   349  User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
   350  fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
   351  Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
   352  by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
   353  if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
   354  modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
   355  been installed in ROM).
   356  
   357    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
   358  requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
   359  for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
   360  the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
   361  network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
   362  adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
   363  protocols for communication across the network.
   364  
   365    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
   366  in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
   367  documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
   368  source code form), and must require no special password or key for
   369  unpacking, reading or copying.
   370  
   371    7. Additional Terms.
   372  
   373    "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
   374  License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
   375  Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
   376  be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
   377  that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
   378  apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
   379  under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
   380  this License without regard to the additional permissions.
   381  
   382    When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
   383  remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
   384  it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
   385  removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
   386  additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
   387  for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
   388  
   389    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
   390  add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
   391  that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
   392  
   393      a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
   394      terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
   395  
   396      b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
   397      author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
   398      Notices displayed by works containing it; or
   399  
   400      c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
   401      requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
   402      reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
   403  
   404      d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
   405      authors of the material; or
   406  
   407      e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
   408      trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
   409  
   410      f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
   411      material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
   412      it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
   413      any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
   414      those licensors and authors.
   415  
   416    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
   417  restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
   418  received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
   419  governed by this License along with a term that is a further
   420  restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
   421  a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
   422  License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
   423  of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
   424  not survive such relicensing or conveying.
   425  
   426    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
   427  must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
   428  additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
   429  where to find the applicable terms.
   430  
   431    Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
   432  form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
   433  the above requirements apply either way.
   434  
   435    8. Termination.
   436  
   437    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
   438  provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
   439  modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
   440  this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
   441  paragraph of section 11).
   442  
   443    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
   444  license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
   445  provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
   446  finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
   447  holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
   448  prior to 60 days after the cessation.
   449  
   450    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
   451  reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
   452  violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
   453  received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
   454  copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
   455  your receipt of the notice.
   456  
   457    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
   458  licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
   459  this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
   460  reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
   461  material under section 10.
   462  
   463    9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
   464  
   465    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
   466  run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
   467  occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
   468  to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
   469  nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
   470  modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
   471  not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
   472  covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
   473  
   474    10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
   475  
   476    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
   477  receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
   478  propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
   479  for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
   480  
   481    An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
   482  organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
   483  organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
   484  work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
   485  transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
   486  licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
   487  give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
   488  Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
   489  the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
   490  
   491    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
   492  rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
   493  not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
   494  rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
   495  (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
   496  any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
   497  sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
   498  
   499    11. Patents.
   500  
   501    A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
   502  License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
   503  work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
   504  
   505    A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
   506  owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
   507  hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
   508  by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
   509  but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
   510  consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
   511  purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
   512  patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
   513  this License.
   514  
   515    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
   516  patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
   517  make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
   518  propagate the contents of its contributor version.
   519  
   520    In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
   521  agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
   522  (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
   523  sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
   524  party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
   525  patent against the party.
   526  
   527    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
   528  and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
   529  to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
   530  publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
   531  then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
   532  available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
   533  patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
   534  consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
   535  license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
   536  actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
   537  covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
   538  in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
   539  country that you have reason to believe are valid.
   540  
   541    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
   542  arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
   543  covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
   544  receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
   545  or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
   546  you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
   547  work and works based on it.
   548  
   549    A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
   550  the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
   551  conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
   552  specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
   553  work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
   554  in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
   555  to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
   556  the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
   557  parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
   558  patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
   559  conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
   560  for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
   561  contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
   562  or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
   563  
   564    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
   565  any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
   566  otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
   567  
   568    12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
   569  
   570    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   571  otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   572  excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
   573  covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
   574  License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
   575  not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
   576  to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
   577  the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
   578  License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
   579  
   580    13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
   581  
   582    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
   583  permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
   584  under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
   585  combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
   586  License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
   587  but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
   588  section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
   589  combination as such.
   590  
   591    14. Revised Versions of this License.
   592  
   593    The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
   594  the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
   595  be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
   596  address new problems or concerns.
   597  
   598    Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
   599  Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
   600  Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
   601  option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
   602  version or of any later version published by the Free Software
   603  Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
   604  GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
   605  by the Free Software Foundation.
   606  
   607    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
   608  versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
   609  public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
   610  to choose that version for the Program.
   611  
   612    Later license versions may give you additional or different
   613  permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
   614  author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
   615  later version.
   616  
   617    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
   618  
   619    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
   620  APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
   621  HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
   622  OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
   623  THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
   624  PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
   625  IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
   626  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   627  
   628    16. Limitation of Liability.
   629  
   630    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   631  WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
   632  THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
   633  GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
   634  USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
   635  DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
   636  PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
   637  EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
   638  SUCH DAMAGES.
   639  
   640    17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
   641  
   642    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
   643  above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
   644  reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
   645  an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
   646  Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
   647  copy of the Program in return for a fee.
   648  
   649                       END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
   650  
   651              How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
   652  
   653    If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
   654  possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
   655  free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
   656  
   657    To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
   658  to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
   659  state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
   660  the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
   661  
   662      <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
   663      Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
   664  
   665      This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
   666      it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
   667      the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
   668      (at your option) any later version.
   669  
   670      This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
   671      but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
   672      MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
   673      GNU General Public License for more details.
   674  
   675      You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
   676      along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
   677  
   678  Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
   679  
   680    If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
   681  notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
   682  
   683      <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
   684      This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
   685      This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
   686      under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
   687  
   688  The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
   689  parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
   690  might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
   691  
   692    You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
   693  if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
   694  For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
   695  <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
   696  
   697    The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
   698  into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
   699  may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
   700  the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
   701  Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
   702  <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
