+ − 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.

+ − 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 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 General Public License for more details.
+ −
+ − You should have received a copy of the GNU 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 the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
+ − notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+ −
+ − <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+ − This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+ − This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+ − under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+ −
+ − The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+ − parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
+ − might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
+ −
+ − 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.
+ − For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
+ − <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+ −
+ − The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
+ − into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
+ − may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
+ − the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
+ − Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
+ − <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
