- The GNU General Public License, Version 3, 29 June 2007 (GPLv3)
- ===============================================================
-
- > Copyright © 2007
- > Free Software Foundation, Inc.
- > <<http://fsf.org/>>
-
- Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
- document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
-
- Preamble
- --------
-
- The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and
- other kinds of works.
-
- The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take
- away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General
- Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
- versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
- We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of
- our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its
- authors. You can apply it to your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
- General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
- distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you
- receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
- software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do
- these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights
- or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain
- responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it:
- responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
- fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You
- must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
- show them these terms so they know their rights.
-
- Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert
- copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal
- permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
-
- For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there
- is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the
- GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems
- will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
-
- Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified
- versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This
- is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to
- change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of
- products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most
- unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit
- the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other
- domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future
- versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
-
- Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States
- should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on
- general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special
- danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively
- proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to
- render the program non-free.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
- follow.
-
-
- TERMS AND CONDITIONS
- --------------------
-
-
- ### 0. Definitions.
-
- "This License refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
- "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works,
- such as semiconductor masks.
-
- "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each
- licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals
- or organizations.
-
- To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a
- fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.
- The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work
- "based on" the earlier work.
-
- A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
- Program.
-
- To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission,
- would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable
- copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
- Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
- making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
- To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to
- make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network,
- with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
- An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent
- that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays
- an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no
- warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that
- licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
- License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
- menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
-
- ### 1. Source Code.
-
- The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
- modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
-
- A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard
- defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified
- for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers
- working in that language.
-
- The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the
- work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
- Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to
- enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
- Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code
- form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
- (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on
- which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an
- object code interpreter used to run it.
-
- The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source
- code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
- code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
- However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose
- tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in
- performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example,
- Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source
- files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
- linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by
- intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
- parts of the work.
-
- The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
- automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
-
- The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
-
-
- ### 2. Basic Permissions.
-
- All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on
- the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This
- License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified
- Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only
- if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License
- acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
- copyright law.
-
- You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
- conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey
- covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications
- exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
- provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
- material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running
- the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your
- direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
- your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
- Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions
- stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
-
-
- ### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
- No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under
- any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright
- treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting
- circumvention of such measures.
-
- When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
- circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
- effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered
- work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the
- work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties'
- legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
-
-
- ### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
- You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
- in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each
- copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this
- License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
- code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
- recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
- You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may
- offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
-
- ### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
- You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it
- from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4,
- provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
- * **a)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it,
- and giving a relevant date.
-
- * **b)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released
- under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This
- requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all
- notices".
-
- * **c)** You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
- anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore
- apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of
- the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This
- License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it
- does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
- * **d)** If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
- Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
- interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not
- make them do so.
-
- A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
- which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
- not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of
- a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
- compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or
- legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works
- permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
- License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
-
-
- ### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
- You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4
- and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source
- under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
-
- * **a)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
- (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding
- Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
- interchange.
-
- * **b)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
- (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer,
- valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare
- parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who
- possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for
- all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a
- durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a
- price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
- conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a
- network server at no charge.
-
- * **c)** Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
- written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is
- allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the
- object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
-
- * **d)** Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
- (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding
- Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need
- not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the
- object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the
- Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a
- third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you
- maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
- Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding
- Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
- needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
- * **e)** Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
- inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the
- work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection
- 6d.
-
- A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from
- the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in
- conveying the object code work.
-
- A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
- tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
- household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into
- a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful
- cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product
- received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common
- use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular
- user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or
- is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless
- of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-
- consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use
- of the product.
-
- "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
- authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute
- modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified
- version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure
- that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case
- prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
-
- If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
- specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of
- a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product
- is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term
- (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding
- Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation
- Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any
- third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
- Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
-
- The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
- requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for
- a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User
- Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may
- be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
- operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
- communication across the network.
-
- Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
- accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented
- (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form),
- and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or
- copying.
-
-
- ### 7. Additional Terms.
-
- "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by
- making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions
- that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were
- included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
- law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may
- be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
- governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
- When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
- additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
- permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when
- you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by
- you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
- permission.
-
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
- covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
- supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
- * **a)** Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms
- of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
- * **b)** Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
- author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
- displayed by works containing it; or
-
- * **c)** Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
- requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable
- ways as different from the original version; or
-
- * **d)** Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
- authors of the material; or
-
- * **e)** Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
- names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
- * **f)** Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material
- by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
- contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability
- that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and
- authors.
-
- All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions"
- within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part
- of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with
- a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license
- document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
- under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
- of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive
- such relicensing or conveying.
-
- If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place,
- in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to
- those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
-
- Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
- separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements
- apply either way.
-
-
- ### 8. Termination.
-
- You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
- under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and
- will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any
- patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
-
- However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a
- particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until
- the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b)
- permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by
- some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
- Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
- permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
- reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation
- of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the
- violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
-
- Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of
- parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your
- rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify
- to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
-
-
- ### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
- You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of
- the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a
- consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does
- not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you
- permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
- copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
- propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do
- so.
-
-
- ### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
- Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
- license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work,
- subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
- third parties with this License.
-
- An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
- organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
- organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results
- from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy
- of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor
- in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
- possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
- interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
- You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
- granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a
- license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this
- License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or
- counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by
- making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
- portion of it.
-
-
- ### 11. Patents.
-
- A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of
- the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is
- called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
- A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or
- controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,
- that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making,
- using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would
- be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor
- version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
- patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
-
- Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
- license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell,
- offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of
- its contributor version.
-
- In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement
- or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express
- permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement).
- To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
- commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
-
- If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
- Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
- charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network
- server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
- Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of
- the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a
- manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
- license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual
- knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a
- country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would
- infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason
- to believe are valid.
-
- If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
- convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a
- patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing
- them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work,
- then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of
- the covered work and works based on it.
-
- A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of
- its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non- exercise
- of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.
- You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a
- third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you
- make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of
- conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
- parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
- license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or
- copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with
- specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
- entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28
- March 2007.
-
- Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
- license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you
- under applicable patent law.
-
-
- ### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
-
- If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
- otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse
- you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so
- as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
- pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For
- example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for
- further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you
- could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
- from conveying the Program.
-
-
- ### 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link
- or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU
- Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the
- resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part
- which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero
- General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network
- will apply to the combination as such.
-
-
- ### 14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
- The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU
- General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
- spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
- or concerns.
-
- Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
- that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later
- version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
- conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by
- the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
- of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by
- the Free Software Foundation.
-
- If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the
- GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of
- acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for
- the Program.
-
- Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
- However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder
- as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
-
-
- ### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
-
- THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
- EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
- PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
- EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
- MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
- QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
- DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
-
-
- ### 16. Limitation of Liability.
-
- IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
- COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS
- PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
- INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
- THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
- INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
- PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
- HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
-
- ### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
-
- If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot
- be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall
- apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil
- liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
- liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
-
- END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
-
-
- How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use
- to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which
- everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
- them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of
- warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer
