Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
8
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

## Preamble
11
12
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
13
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
14
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
15
16
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
17
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
18
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
19
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains
20
free software for all its users.
21
22
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
26
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
27
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28
29
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
30
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
31
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
32
and/or modify the software.
33
34
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
35
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
36
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
37
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
38
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
39
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
40
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
41
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
42
source code to the public.
43
44
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
45
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
46
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
47
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
48
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
49
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
50
code of the modified version.
51
52
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
53
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
54
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
55
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing
56
under this license.
57
58
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
59
modification follow.
60
61
## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
62
63
### 0. Definitions.
64
65
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
66
License.
67
68
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
69
of works, such as semiconductor masks.
70
71
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
72
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
73
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
74
75
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
76
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
77
an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of
78
the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
79
80
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
81
on the Program.
82
83
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
84
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
85
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
86
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
87
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
88
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
89
90
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
91
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
92
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
93
conveying.
94
95
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to
96
the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
97
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
98
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
99
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
100
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
101
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
102
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
103
104
### 1. Source Code.
105
106
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
107
making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of
108
a work.
109
110
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
111
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
112
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
113
is widely used among developers working in that language.
114
115
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
116
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
117
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
118
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
119
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
120
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
121
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
122
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
123
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
124
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
125
126
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
127
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
128
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
129
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
130
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
131
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
132
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
133
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
134
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
135
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
136
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
137
subprograms and other parts of the work.
138
139
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
140
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
141
142
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
143
work.
144
145
### 2. Basic Permissions.
146
147
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
148
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
149
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
150
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
151
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
152
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
153
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
154
155
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
156
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
157
You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
158
them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
159
facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
160
terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
161
control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
162
you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
163
control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
164
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
165
166
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
167
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes
168
it unnecessary.
169
170
### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
171
172
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
173
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
174
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
175
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
176
measures.
177
178
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
179
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
180
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
181
respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
182
operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
183
the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
184
circumvention of technological measures.
185
186
### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
187
188
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
189
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
190
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
191
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
192
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
193
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
194
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
195
196
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
197
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
198
199
### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
200
201
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
202
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
203
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
204
conditions:
205
206
-   a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
207
    it, and giving a relevant date.
208
-   b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
209
    released under this License and any conditions added under
210
    section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4
211
    to "keep intact all notices".
212
-   c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
213
    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
214
    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
215
    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
216
    regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
217
    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
218
    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
219
-   d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
220
    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
221
    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
222
    work need not make them do so.
223
224
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
225
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
226
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
227
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
228
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
229
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
230
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
231
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
232
parts of the aggregate.
233
234
### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
235
236
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
237
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
238
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
239
ways:
240
241
-   a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
242
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
243
    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
244
    customarily used for software interchange.
245
-   b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
246
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
247
    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
248
    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
249
    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
250
    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
251
    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
252
    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
253
    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
254
    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding
255
    Source from a network server at no charge.
256
-   c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
257
    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
258
    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
259
    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
260
    with subsection 6b.
261
-   d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
262
    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
263
    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
264
    further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
265
    Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
266
    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
267
    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
268
    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
269
    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
270
    Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
271
    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
272
    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
273
-   e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
274
    provided you inform other peers where the object code and
275
    Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
276
    public at no charge under subsection 6d.
277
278
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
279
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
280
included in conveying the object code work.
281
282
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
283
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
284
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
285
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
286
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
287
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
288
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
289
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
290
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
291
to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
292
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
293
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
294
mode of use of the product.
295
296
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
297
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
298
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
299
Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
300
information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
301
the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
302
solely because modification has been made.
303
304
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
305
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
306
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
307
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
308
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
309
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
310
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
311
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
312
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
313
been installed in ROM).
314
315
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
316
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
317
updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
318
recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
319
installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
320
itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
321
or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
322
network.
323
324
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
325
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
326
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
327
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
328
unpacking, reading or copying.
329
330
### 7. Additional Terms.
331
332
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
333
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
334
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
335
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
336
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
337
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
338
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
339
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
340
341
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
342
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
343
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
344
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
345
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
346
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
347
348
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
349
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
350
of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
351
352
-   a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
353
    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
354
-   b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
355
    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
356
    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
357
-   c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
358
    or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
359
    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
360
-   d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
361
    or authors of the material; or
362
-   e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
363
    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
364
-   f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
365
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions
366
    of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient,
367
    for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly
368
    impose on those licensors and authors.
369
370
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
371
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
372
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
373
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
374
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
375
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
376
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
377
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
378
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
379
380
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
381
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
382
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
383
where to find the applicable terms.
384
385
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
386
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
387
above requirements apply either way.
388
389
### 8. Termination.
390
391
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
392
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
393
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
394
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
395
paragraph of section 11).
396
397
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
398
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
399
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
400
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
401
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
402
60 days after the cessation.
403
404
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
405
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
406
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
407
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
408
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
409
your receipt of the notice.
410
411
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
412
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
413
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
414
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
415
material under section 10.
416
417
### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
418
419
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
420
a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
421
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
422
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
423
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
424
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
425
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
426
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
427
428
### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
429
430
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
431
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
432
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
433
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
434
435
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
436
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
437
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
438
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
439
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
440
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
441
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
442
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
443
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
444
445
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
446
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
447
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
448
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
449
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
450
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
451
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
452
453
### 11. Patents.
454
455
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
456
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
457
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
458
459
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned
460
or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
461
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
462
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
463
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
464
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
465
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
466
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
467
this License.
468
469
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
470
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
471
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
472
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
473
474
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
475
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
476
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
477
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
478
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
479
patent against the party.
480
481
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
482
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
483
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
484
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
485
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
486
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
487
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
488
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
489
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
490
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
491
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
492
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
493
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
494
495
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
496
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
497
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
498
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
499
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
500
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
501
work and works based on it.
502
503
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the
504
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
505
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
506
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
507
are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
508
business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
509
third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
510
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
511
who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
512
license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
513
you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
514
connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
515
covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
516
license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
517
518
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
519
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
520
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
521
522
### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
523
524
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
525
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
526
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
527
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
528
this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
529
consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to
530
terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
531
from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
532
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
533
from conveying the Program.
534
535
### 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
536
537
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
538
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
539
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your
540
version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the
541
Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the
542
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some
543
standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This
544
Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any
545
work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is
546
incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
547
548
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
549
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
550
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
551
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
552
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
553
but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
554
3 of the GNU General Public License.
555
556
### 14. Revised Versions of this License.
557
558
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
559
of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
560
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
561
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
562
563
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
564
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
565
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
566
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
567
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
568
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
569
GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever
570
published by the Free Software Foundation.
571
572
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
573
of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
574
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
575
to choose that version for the Program.
576
577
Later license versions may give you additional or different
578
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
579
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
580
later version.
581
582
### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
583
584
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
585
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
586
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
587
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
588
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
589
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
590
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
591
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
592
CORRECTION.
593
594
### 16. Limitation of Liability.
595
596
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
597
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
598
CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
599
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
600
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
601
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
602
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
603
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
604
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
605
606
### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
607
608
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
609
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
610
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
611
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
612
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
613
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
614
615
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
616
617
## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
618
619
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
620
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
621
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
622
terms.
623
624
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
625
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state
626
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
627
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
628
629
        <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
630
        Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
631
632
        This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
633
        it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
634
        published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
635
        License, or (at your option) any later version.
636
637
        This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
638
        but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
639
        MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
640
        GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
641
642
        You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
643
        along with this program.  If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
644
645
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
646
mail.
647
648
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
649
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
650
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
651
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
652
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
653
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for
654
the specific requirements.
655
656
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
657
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
658
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
659
the GNU AGPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
