GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
Version 3, 19 November 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 Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | |
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure | |
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software. | |
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | |
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | |
our General Public Licenses are 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. | |
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. | |
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights | |
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer | |
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute | |
and/or modify the software. | |
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that | |
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they | |
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to | |
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and | |
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of | |
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. | |
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and | |
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its | |
source code to the public. | |
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to | |
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available | |
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to | |
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the | |
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on | |
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source | |
code of the modified version. | |
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and | |
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is | |
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has | |
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under | |
this license. | |
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 Affero 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. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License. | |
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the | |
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users | |
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version | |
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding | |
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source | |
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary | |
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source | |
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 | |
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the | |
following paragraph. | |
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 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 work with which it is combined will remain governed by version | |
3 of the GNU General Public License. | |
14. Revised Versions of this License. | |
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of | |
the GNU Affero 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 Affero 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 Affero 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 Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's | |
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you | |
to choose that version for the Program. | |
Later license versions may give you additional or different | |
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any | |
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a | |
later version. | |
15. Disclaimer of Warranty. | |
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY | |
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT | |
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY | |
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, | |
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR | |
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM | |
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF | |
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
16. Limitation of Liability. | |
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS | |
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY | |
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE | |
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF | |
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD | |
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), | |
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF | |
SUCH DAMAGES. | |
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. | |
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided | |
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, | |
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates | |
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the | |
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a | |
copy of the Program in return for a fee. | |
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published | |
by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or | |
(at your option) any later version. | |
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | |
GNU Affero General Public License for more details. | |
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License | |
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. | |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer | |
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to | |
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its | |
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive | |
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different | |
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the | |
specific requirements. | |
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, | |
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. | |
