72 | |
|
|
73 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
|
74 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
|
75 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|
|
76 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|
|
77 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|
|
78 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
|

71 | it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph |
92 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |

|
97 | Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its |
|
|
98 | derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring |
|
|
99 | the other work under the scope of these terms. |
|
|
100 | |
114 | |
|
|
115 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
|
116 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
|
|
117 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
|
118 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
|
119 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
|
120 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
|
121 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
|
122 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
|
123 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|
|
124 | |
|
|
125 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
|
126 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
|
127 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
|
128 | collective works based on the Program. |

|
129 | |
|
|
130 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
|
|
131 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
|
|
132 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|

133 | the scope of this License. |

109 | b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
143 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
110 | years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge |
144 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
111 | for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the |
145 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
112 | corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of |
146 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
113 | Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |

155 | |
120 | Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
156 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
121 | modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means |
157 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
122 | all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special |
158 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
123 | exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard |
159 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
124 | libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable |
160 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
125 | file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that |

126 | accompany that operating system. |
162 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |

164 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|
|
165 | itself accompanies the executable. |
127 | |
166 | |
|
|
167 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|
|
168 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|
|
169 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|
|
170 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
|
171 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |

137 | 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based |
181 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
|
182 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
|
183 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
|
184 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
|
185 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
138 | on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, |
186 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
139 | and all its terms and conditions. |
187 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
|
188 | the Program or works based on it. |

141 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
190 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
142 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original |
191 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
143 | licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these |
192 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
144 | terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the |
193 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
145 | recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
194 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
|
195 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
|
196 | this License. |
|
|
197 | |
|
|
198 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
|
199 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
|
200 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
|
201 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
|
202 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
|
203 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
|
204 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
|
205 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
|
|
206 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
|
|
207 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
|
208 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
|
209 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|
|
210 | |
|
|
211 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
|
|
212 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
|
|
213 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
|
|
214 | circumstances. |
|
|
215 | |
|
|
216 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
|
217 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
|
218 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
|
219 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
|
|
220 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
|
221 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
|
222 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
|
223 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
|
224 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
|
225 | impose that choice. |
|
|
226 | |
|
|
227 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
|
228 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
146 | |
229 | |
|
|
230 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
|
|
231 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
|
232 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
|
|
233 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
|
|
234 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
|
|
235 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
|
|
236 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |

148 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |

161 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
