| GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| Version 3, 29 June 2007 |
| |
| Copyright (C) 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. |

| |
| If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided |

| 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. |
