_Version 3, 29 June 2007_

_Copyright <U+00A9> 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. &lt;<http://fsf.org/>&gt;_

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

    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
559
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
560
    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
561
    (at your option) any later version.
562
563
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
564
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
565
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
566
    GNU General Public License for more details.
567
568
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
569
    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
570
571
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
572
573
If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this
574
when it starts in an interactive mode:
575
576
    MOVICS Copyright (C) 2020 Xiaofan Lu
577
    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
578
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
579
    under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
580
581
The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the appropriate parts of
582
the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different;
583
for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
584
585
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to
586
sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more
587
information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
588
&lt;<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>&gt;.
589
590
The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
591
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it
592
more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is
593
what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this
594
License. But first, please read
595
