1 root 1.1 Take note of the GNU Affero License (COPYING.GNU), which applies to part
2     of this release, which means you have to follow the requirements laid out
3     in section 13. of both licenses.
4    
5     GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
6     Version 3, 19 November 2007
7    
8     Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
9     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
10     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
11    
12     Preamble
13    
14     The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license
15     for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
16     cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
17    
18     The licenses for most software and other practical works are
19     designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By
20     contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your
21     freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it
22     remains free software for all its users.
23    
24     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
25     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
26     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
27     them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
28     want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
29     free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
30    
31     Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
32     with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
33     you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
34     and/or modify the software.
35    
36     A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
37     improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
38     receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
39     incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
40     encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
41     software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
42     The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
43     letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
44     source code to the public.
45    
46     The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
47     ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
48     to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
49     provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
50     users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
51     a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
52     code of the modified version.
53    
54     An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
55     published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
56     a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
57     released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
58     this license.
59    
60     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
61     modification follow.
62    
63     TERMS AND CONDITIONS
64    
65     0. Definitions.
66    
67     "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
68     License.
69    
70     "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
71     of works, such as semiconductor masks.
72    
73     "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
74     License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
75     "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
76    
77     To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
78     in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
79     exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
80     earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
81    
82     A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
83     on the Program.
84    
85     To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
86     permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
87     infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
88     computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
89     distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
90     public, and in some countries other activities as well.
91    
92     To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
93     parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
94     a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
95    
96     An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
97     to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
98     feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
99     tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
100     extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
101     work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
102     the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
103     menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
104    
105     1. Source Code.
106    
107     The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
108     for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
109     form of a work.
110    
111     A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
112     standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
113     interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
114     is widely used among developers working in that language.
115    
116     The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
117     than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
118     packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
119     Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
120     Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
121     implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
122     "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
123     (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
124     (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
125     produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
126    
127     The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
128     the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
129     work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
130     control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
131     System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
132     programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
133     which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
134     includes interface definition files associated with source files for
135     the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
136     linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
137     such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
138     subprograms and other parts of the work.
139    
140     The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
141     can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
142     Source.
143    
144     The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
145     same work.
146    
147     2. Basic Permissions.
148    
149     All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
150     copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
151     conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
152     permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
153     covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
154     content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
155     rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
156    
157     You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
158     convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
159     in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
160     of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
161     with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
162     the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
163     not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
164     for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
165     and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
166     your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
167    
168     Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
169     the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
170     makes it unnecessary.
171    
172     3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
173    
174     No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
175     measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
176     11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
177     similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
178     measures.
179    
180     When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
181     circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
182     is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
183     the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
184     modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
185     users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
186     technological measures.
187    
188     4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
189    
190     You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
191     receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
192     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
193     keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
194     non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
195     keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
196     recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
197    
198     You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
199     and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
200    
201     5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
202    
203     You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
204     produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
205     terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
206    
207     a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
208     it, and giving a relevant date.
209    
210     b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
211     released under this License and any conditions added under section
212     7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
213     "keep intact all notices".
214    
215     c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
216     License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
217     License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
218     additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
219     regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
220     permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
221     invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
222    
223     d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
224     Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
225     interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
226     work need not make them do so.
227    
228     A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
229     works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
230     and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
231     in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
232     "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
233     used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
234     beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
235     in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
236     parts of the aggregate.
237    
238     6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
239    
240     You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
241     of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
242     machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
243     in one of these ways:
244    
245     a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
246     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
247     Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
248     customarily used for software interchange.
249    
250     b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
251     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
252     written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
253     long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
254     model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
255     copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
256     product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
257     medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
258     more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
259     conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
260     Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
261    
262     c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
263     written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
264     alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
265     only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
266     with subsection 6b.
267    
268     d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
269     place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
270     Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
271     further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
272     Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
273     copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
274     may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
275     that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
276     clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
277     Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
278     Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
279     available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
280    
281     e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
282     you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
283     Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
284     charge under subsection 6d.
285    
286     A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
287     from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
288     included in conveying the object code work.
289    
290     A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
291     tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
292     or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
293     into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
294     doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
295     product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
296     typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
297     of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
298     actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
299     is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
300     commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
301     the only significant mode of use of the product.
302    
303     "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
304     procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
305     and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
306     a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
307     suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
308     code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
309     modification has been made.
310    
311     If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
312     specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
313     part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
314     User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
315     fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
316     Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
317     by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
318     if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
319     modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
320     been installed in ROM).
321    
322     The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
323     requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
324     for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
325     the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
326     network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
327     adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
328     protocols for communication across the network.
329    
330     Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
331     in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
332     documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
333     source code form), and must require no special password or key for
334     unpacking, reading or copying.
335    
336     7. Additional Terms.
337    
338     "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
339     License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
340     Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
341     be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
342     that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
343     apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
344     under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
345     this License without regard to the additional permissions.
346    
347     When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
348     remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
349     it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
350     removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
351     additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
352     for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
353    
354     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
355     add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
356     that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
357    
358     a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
359     terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
360    
361     b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
362     author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
363     Notices displayed by works containing it; or
364    
365     c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
366     requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
367     reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
368    
369     d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
370     authors of the material; or
371    
372     e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
373     trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
374    
375     f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
376     material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
377     it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
378     any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
379     those licensors and authors.
380    
381     All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
382     restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
383     received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
384     governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
385     you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
386     restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
387     may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
388     document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
389     relicensing or conveying.
390    
391     If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
392     must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
393     additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
394     where to find the applicable terms.
395    
396     Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
397     form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
398     the above requirements apply either way.
399    
400     8. Termination.
401    
402     You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
403     provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
404     modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
405     this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
406     paragraph of section 11).
407    
408     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
409     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
410     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
411     finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
412     holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
413     prior to 60 days after the cessation.
414    
415     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
416     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
417     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
418     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
419     copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
420     your receipt of the notice.
421    
422     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
423     licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
424     this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
425     reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
426     material under section 10.
427    
428     9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
429    
430     You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
431     run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
432     occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
433     to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
434     nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
435     modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
436     not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
437     covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
438    
439     10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
440    
441     Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
442     receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
443     propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
444     for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
445    
446     An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
447     organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
448     organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
449     work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
450     transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
451     licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
452     give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
453     Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
454     the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
455    
456     You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
457     rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
458     not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
459     rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
460     (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
461     any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
462     sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
463    
464     11. Patents.
465    
466     A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
467     License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
468     work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
469    
470     A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
471     owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
472     hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
473     by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
474     but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
475     consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
476     purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
477     patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
478     this License.
479    
480     Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
481     patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
482     make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
483     propagate the contents of its contributor version.
484    
485     In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
486     agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
487     (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
488     sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
489     party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
490     patent against the party.
491    
492     If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
493     and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
494     to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
495     publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
496     then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
497     available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
498     patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
499     consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
500     license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
501     actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
502     covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
503     in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
504     country that you have reason to believe are valid.
505    
506     If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
507     arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
508     covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
509     receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
510     or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
511     you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
512     work and works based on it.
513    
514     A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
515     the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
516     conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
517     specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
518     work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
519     in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
520     to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
521     the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
522     parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
523     patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
524     conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
525     for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
526     contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
527     or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
528    
529     Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
530     any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
531     otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
532    
533     12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
534    
535     If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
536     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
537     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
538     covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
539     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
540     not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
541     to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
542     the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
543     License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
544    
545     13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
546    
547     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
548     Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
549     interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
550     supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
551     Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
552     from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
553     means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
554     shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
555     of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
556     following paragraph.
557    
558     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission
559     to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3
560     of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to
561     convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
562     apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is
563     combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public
564     License.
565    
566     14. Revised Versions of this License.
567    
568     The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
569     the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
570     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ
571     in detail to address new problems or concerns.
572    
573     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
574     Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero
575     General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have
576     the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
577     numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
578     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
579     of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version
580     ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
581    
582     If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
583     versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that
584     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
585     authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
586    
587     Later license versions may give you additional or different
588     permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
589     author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
590     later version.
591    
592     15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
593    
594     THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
595     APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
596     HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
597     OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
598     THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
599     PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
600     IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
601     ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
602    
603     16. Limitation of Liability.
604    
605     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
606     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
607     THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
608     GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
609     USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
610     DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
611     PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
612     EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
613     SUCH DAMAGES.
614    
615     17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
616    
617     If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
618     above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
619     reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
620     an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
621     Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
622     copy of the Program in return for a fee.
623    
624     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
625    
626     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
627    
628     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
629     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
630     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
631    
632     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
633     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
634     state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
635     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
636    
637     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
638     Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
639    
640     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
641     it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
642     published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
643     License, or (at your option) any later version.
644    
645     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
646     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
647     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
648     GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
649    
650     You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
651     along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
652    
653     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
654    
655     If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
656     network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
657     get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
658     interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
659     of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
660     solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
661     specific requirements.
662    
663     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
664     if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
