By contrast, the GNU General Public 23 + License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 24 + software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 25 + General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 26 + Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 27 + using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 28 + the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 29 + your programs, too. 46 30 31 + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 32 + price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 33 + have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 34 + this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 35 + if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 36 + in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 37 + 38 + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 39 + anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 40 + These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 41 + distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 42 + 43 + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 44 + gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 45 + you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 46 + source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 47 + rights. 48 + 49 + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 50 + (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 51 + distribute and/or modify the software. 52 + 53 + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 54 + that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 55 + software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 56 + want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 57 + that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 58 + authors' reputations. 59 + 60 + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 61 + patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 62 + program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 63 + program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 64 + patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 65 + 66 + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 67 + modification follow. 68 + 69 + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 70 + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 71 + 72 + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 73 + a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 74 + under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 75 + refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 76 + means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 77 + that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 78 + either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 79 + language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 80 + the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 81 + 82 + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 83 + covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 84 + running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 85 + is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 86 + Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 87 + Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 88 + 89 + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 90 + source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 91 + conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 92 + copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 93 + notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 94 + and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 95 + along with the Program. 96 + 97 + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 98 + you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 99 + 100 + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 101 + of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 102 + distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 103 + above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 104 + 105 + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 106 + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 107 + 108 + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 109 + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 110 + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 111 + parties under the terms of this License. 112 + 113 + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 114 + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 115 + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 116 + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 117 + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 118 + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 119 + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 120 + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 121 + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 122 + the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 123 + 124 + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 125 + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 126 + and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 127 + themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 128 + sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 129 + distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 130 + on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 131 + this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 132 + entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 133 + 134 + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 135 + your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 136 + exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 137 + collective works based on the Program. 138 + 139 + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 140 + with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 141 + a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 142 + the scope of this License. 143 + 144 + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 145 + under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 146 + Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 147 + 148 + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 149 + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 150 + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 151 + 152 + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 153 + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 154 + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 155 + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 156 + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 157 + customarily used for software interchange; or, 158 + 159 + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 160 + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 161 + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 162 + received the program in object code or executable form with such 163 + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 164 + 165 + The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 166 + making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 167 + code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 168 + associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 169 + control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 170 + special exception, the source code distributed need not include 171 + anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 172 + form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 173 + operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 174 + itself accompanies the executable. 175 + 176 + If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 177 + access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 178 + access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 179 + distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 180 + compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 181 + 182 + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 183 + except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 184 + otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 185 + void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 186 + However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 187 + this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 188 + parties remain in full compliance. 189 + 190 + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 191 + signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 192 + distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 193 + prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 194 + modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 195 + Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 196 + all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 197 + the Program or works based on it. 198 + 199 + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 200 + Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 201 + original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 202 + these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 203 + restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 204 + You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 205 + this License. 206 + 207 + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 208 + infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 209 + conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 210 + otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 211 + excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 212 + distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 213 + License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 214 + may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 215 + license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 216 + all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 217 + the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 218 + refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 219 + 220 + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 221 + any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 222 + apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 223 + circumstances. 224 + 225 + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 226 + patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 227 + such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 228 + integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 229 + implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 230 + generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 231 + through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 232 + system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 233 + to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 234 + impose that choice. 235 + 236 + This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 237 + be a consequence of the rest of this License. 238 + 239 + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 240 + certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 241 + original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 242 + may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 243 + those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 244 + countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 245 + the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 246 + 247 + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 248 + of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 249 + be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 250 + address new problems or concerns. 251 + 252 + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 253 + specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 254 + later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 255 + either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 256 + Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 257 + this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 258 + Foundation. 259 + 260 + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 261 + programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 262 + to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 263 + Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 264 + make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 265 + of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 266 + of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 267 + 268 + NO WARRANTY 269 + 270 + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 271 + FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 272 + OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 273 + PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 274 + OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 275 + MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 276 + TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 277 + PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 278 + REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 279 + 280 + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 281 + WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 282 + REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 283 + INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 284 + OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 285 + TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 286 + YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 287 + PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 288 + POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
