Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|
|
|

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |

Preamble |
|
|
|
9 |
|
|
|
|
10 |
The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for |
|
|
|
11 |
software and other kinds of works. |
|
|
|
12 |
|
|
|
|
13 |
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed |
|
|
|
14 |
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, |
|
|
|
15 |
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to |
|
|
|
16 |
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free |
|
|
|
17 |
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the |
|
|
|
18 |
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to |
|
|
|
19 |
any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to |
|
|
|
20 |
your programs, too. |
|
|
|
21 |
|
|
|
|
22 |
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|
|
|
23 |
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|
|
|
24 |
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|
|
|
25 |
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you |
|
|
|
26 |
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new |
|
|
|
27 |
free programs, and that you know you can do these things. |
|
|
|
28 |
|
|
|
|
29 |
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you |
|
|
|
30 |
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
|
|
|
31 |
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
|
|
|
32 |
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
|
34 |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|
|
|
35 |
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
|
|
|
36 |
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
|
|
|
37 |
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
|
|
|
38 |
know their rights. |
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
|
40 |
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
|
|
|
41 |
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
|
|
|
42 |
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
|
|
|
43 |
|
|
|
|
44 |
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
|
|
|
45 |
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
|
|
|
46 |
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
|
|
|
47 |
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
|
|
|
48 |
authors of previous versions. |
|
|
|
49 |
|
|
|
|
50 |
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
|
|
|
51 |
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
|
|
|
52 |
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
|
|
|
53 |
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
|
|
|
54 |
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
|
|
|
55 |
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
|
|
|
56 |
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
|
|
|
57 |
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
|
|
|
58 |
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
|
|
|
59 |
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
|
|
|
60 |
|
|
|
|
61 |
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
|
|
|
62 |
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
|
|
|
63 |
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
|
|
|
64 |
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
|
|
|
65 |
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
|
|
|
66 |
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
|
68 |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|
|
|
69 |
modification follow. |

TERMS AND CONDITIONS |

|
73 |
0. Definitions. |
|
|
|
74 |
|
|
|
|
75 |
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
|
|
|
76 |
|
|
|
|
77 |
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
|
|
|
78 |
works, such as semiconductor masks. |
|
|
|
79 |
|
|
|
|
80 |
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
|
|
|
81 |
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and |
|
|
|
82 |
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
|
|
|
83 |
|
|
|
|
84 |
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work |
|
|
|
85 |
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an |
|
|
|
86 |
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the |
|
|
|
87 |
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. |
|
|
|
88 |
|
|
|
|
89 |
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based |
|
|
|
90 |
on the Program. |
|
|
|
91 |
|
|
|
|
92 |
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
|
|
|
93 |
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
|
|
|
94 |
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
|
|
|
95 |
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, |
|
|
|
96 |
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the |
|
|
|
97 |
public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
|
|
|
98 |
|
|
|
|
99 |
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other |
|
|
|
100 |
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through |
|
|
|
101 |
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
|
|
|
102 |
|
|
|
|
103 |
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
|
|
|
104 |
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
|
|
|
105 |
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
|
|
|
106 |
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
|
|
|
107 |
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
|
|
|
108 |
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
|
|
|
109 |
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
|
|
|
110 |
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
|
|
|
111 |
|
|
|
|
112 |
1. Source Code. |
|
|
|
113 |
|
|
|
|
114 |
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |
|
|
|
115 |
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
|
|
|
116 |
form of a work. |
|
|
|
117 |
|
|
|
|
118 |
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
|
|
|
119 |
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
|
|
|
120 |
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
|
|
|
121 |
is widely used among developers working in that language. |
|
|
|
122 |
|
|
|
|
123 |
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
|
|
|
124 |
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
|
|
|
125 |
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
|
|
|
126 |
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
|
|
|
127 |
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
|
|
|
128 |
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
|
|
|
129 |
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
|
|
|
130 |
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
|
|
|
131 |
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
|
|
|
132 |
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
|
|
|
133 |
|
|
|
|
134 |
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
|
|
|
135 |
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
|
|
|
136 |
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
|
|
|
137 |
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
|
|
|
138 |
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
|
|
|
139 |
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
|
|
|
140 |
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
|
|
|
141 |
includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
|
|
|
142 |
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
|
|
|
143 |
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
|
|
|
144 |
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
|
|
|
145 |
subprograms and other parts of the work. |
|
|
|
146 |
|
|
|
|
147 |
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
|
|
|
148 |
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
|
|
|
149 |
Source. |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
|
|
151 |
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
|
|
|
152 |
same work. |
|
|
|
153 |
|
|
|
|
154 |
2. Basic Permissions. |
|
|
|
155 |
|
|
|
|
156 |
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
|
|
|
157 |
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
|
|
|
158 |
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
|
|
|
159 |
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
|
|
|
160 |
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
|
|
|
161 |
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
|
|
|
162 |
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
|
|
|
163 |
|
|
|
|
164 |
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |
|
|
|
165 |
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
|
|
|
166 |
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
|
|
|
167 |
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
|
|
|
168 |
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
|
|
|
169 |
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
|
|
|
170 |
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
|
|
|
171 |
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
|
|
|
172 |
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
|
|
|
173 |
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
|
|
|
174 |
|
|
|
|
175 |
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
|
|
|
176 |
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
|
|
|
177 |
makes it unnecessary. |
|
|
|
178 |
|
|
|
|
179 |
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
|
|
|
180 |
|
|
|
|
181 |
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
|
|
|
182 |
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
|
|
|
183 |
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
|
|
|
184 |
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
|
|
|
185 |
measures. |
|
|
|
186 |
|
|
|
|
187 |
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
|
|
|
188 |
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention |
|
|
|
189 |
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
|
|
|
190 |
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
|
|
|
191 |
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
|
|
|
192 |
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
|
|
|
193 |
technological measures. |
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
|
|
195 |
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
|
|
197 |
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
|
|
|
198 |
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
|
|
|
199 |
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
|
|
|
200 |
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
|
|
|
201 |
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
|
|
|
202 |
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
|
|
|
203 |
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
|
|
|
204 |
|
|
|
|
205 |
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
|
|
|
206 |
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
|
|
|
207 |
|
|
|
|
208 |
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
|
|
|
209 |
|
|
|
|
210 |
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to |
|
|
|
211 |
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
|
|
|
212 |
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
|
|
213 |
|
