THIS IS A DRAFT, NOT A PUBLISHED VERSION OF THE GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. |

|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
10 |
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |

|
|
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 |
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
55 |
|
|
modification follow. |

|
|
0. Definitions. |
60 |
|
|
|
61 |
|
|
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public |
62 |
|
|
License. |
63 |
|
|
|
64 |
|
|
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other |
65 |
|
|
kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. |
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this |
68 |
|
|
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you." "Licensees" and |
69 |
|
|
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations. |
70 |
|
|
|
71 |
|
|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the |
72 |
|
|
work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the |
73 |
|
|
making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified |
74 |
|
|
version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. A |
75 |
|
|
"covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on |
76 |
|
|
the Program. |
77 |
|
|
|
78 |
|
|
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without |
79 |
|
|
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for |
80 |
|
|
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a |
81 |
|
|
computer or making modifications that you do not share. Propagation |
82 |
|
|
includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making |
83 |
|
|
available to the public, and in some countries other activities as |
84 |
|
|
well. To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables |
85 |
|
|
other parties to make or receive copies, excluding sublicensing. Mere |
86 |
|
|
interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer |
87 |
|
|
of a copy, is not conveying. |
88 |
|
|
|
89 |
|
|
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" |
90 |
|
|
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible |
91 |
|
|
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) |
92 |
|
|
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the |
93 |
|
|
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the |
94 |
|
|
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If |
95 |
|
|
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a |
96 |
|
|
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
97 |
|
|
|
98 |
|
|
1. Source Code. |
99 |
|
|
|
100 |
|
|
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work |
101 |
|
|
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source |
102 |
|
|
form of a work. |
103 |
|
|
|
104 |
|
|
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official |
105 |
|
|
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of |
106 |
|
|
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that |
107 |
|
|
is widely used among developers working in that language. |
108 |
|
|
|
109 |
|
|
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other |
110 |
|
|
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of |
111 |
|
|
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major |
112 |
|
|
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that |
113 |
|
|
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an |
114 |
|
|
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A |
115 |
|
|
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component |
116 |
|
|
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
117 |
|
|
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to |
118 |
|
|
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
119 |
|
|
|
120 |
|
|
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all |
121 |
|
|
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable |
122 |
|
|
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to |
123 |
|
|
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's |
124 |
|
|
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free |
125 |
|
|
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but |
126 |
|
|
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source |
127 |
|
|
includes interface definition files associated with source files for |
128 |
|
|
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically |
129 |
|
|
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, |
130 |
|
|
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
131 |
|
|
subprograms and other parts of the work. |
132 |
|
|
|
133 |
|
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users |
134 |
|
|
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding |
135 |
|
|
Source. |
136 |
|
|
|
137 |
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that |
138 |
|
|
same work. |
139 |
|
|
|
140 |
|
|
2. Basic Permissions. |
141 |
|
|
|
142 |
|
|
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of |
143 |
|
|
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated |
144 |
|
|
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited |
145 |
|
|
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a |
146 |
|
|
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its |
147 |
|
|
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your |
148 |
|
|
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. |
149 |
|
|
|
150 |
|
|
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not |
151 |
|
|
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains |
152 |
|
|
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose |
153 |
|
|
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you |
154 |
|
|
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with |
155 |
|
|
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do |
156 |
|
|
not hold copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works |
157 |
|
|
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction |
158 |
|
|
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of |
159 |
|
|
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
160 |
|
|
|
161 |
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under |
162 |
|
|
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 |
163 |
|
|
makes it unnecessary. |
164 |
|
|
|
165 |
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
166 |
|
|
|
167 |
|
|
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological |
168 |
|
|
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article |
169 |
|
|
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or |
170 |
|
|
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such |
171 |
|
|
measures. |
172 |
|
|
|
173 |
|
|
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
174 |
|
|
circumvention of technical measures to the extent such circumvention |
175 |
|
|
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to |
176 |
|
|
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or |
177 |
|
|
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's |
178 |
|
|
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of |
179 |
|
|
technical measures. |
180 |
|
|
|
181 |
|
|
4.[1] Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
182 |
|
|
|
183 |
|
|
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you |
184 |
|
|
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
185 |
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; |
186 |
|
|
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any |
187 |
|
|
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; |
188 |
|
|
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all |
189 |
|
|
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
190 |
|
|
|
191 |
|
|
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, |
192 |
|
|
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
193 |
|
|
|
194 |
|
|
5.[2] Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
195 |
|
|
|
196 |
|
|
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to |
197 |
|
|
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the |
198 |
|
|
terms of section 4 above, provided that you also meet all of these |
199 |
|
|
conditions: |
200 |
|
|
|
201 |
|
|
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified |
202 |
|
|
it, and giving a relevant date. |
203 |
|
|
|
204 |
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is |
205 |
|
|
released under this License and any conditions added under section |
206 |
|
|
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to |
207 |
|
|
"keep intact all notices". |
208 |
|
|
|
209 |
|
|
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this |
210 |
|
|
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This |
211 |
|
|
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 |
212 |
|
|
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, |
213 |
|
|
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no |
214 |
|
|
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not |
215 |
|
|
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
216 |
|
|
|
217 |
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
218 |
|
|
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
219 |
|
|
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your |
220 |
|
|
work need not make them do so. |
221 |
|
|
|
222 |
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent |
223 |
|
|
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, |
224 |
|
|
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an |
225 |
|
|
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not |
226 |
|
|
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users |
227 |
|
|
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work |
228 |
|
|
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
229 |
|
|
parts of the aggregate. |
230 |
|
|
|
231 |
|
|
6.[3] Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
232 |
|
|
|
233 |
|
|
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms |
234 |
|
|
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the |
235 |
|
|
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, |
236 |
|
|
in one of these ways: |
237 |
|
|
|
238 |
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
239 |
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the |
240 |
|
|
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium |
241 |
|
|
customarily used for software interchange. |
242 |
|
|
|
243 |
|
|
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product |
244 |
|
|
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a |
245 |
|
|
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as |
246 |
|
|
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product |
247 |
|
|
model, either (1) to give anyone who possesses the object code a |
248 |
|
|
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the |
249 |
|
|
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical |
250 |
|
|
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
251 |
|
|
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this |
252 |
|
|
conveying of source, or (2) to provide access to copy the |
253 |
|
|
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. |
254 |
|
|
|
255 |
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the |
256 |
|
|
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This |
257 |
|
|
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and |
258 |
|
|
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord |
259 |
|
|
with subsection 6b. |
260 |
|
|
|
261 |
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated |
262 |
|
|
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the |
263 |
|
|
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no |
264 |
|
|
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the |
265 |
|
|
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to |
266 |
|
|
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source |
267 |
|
|
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) |
268 |
|
|
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain |
269 |
|
|
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the |
270 |
|
|
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
271 |
|
|
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is |
272 |
|
|
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. |
273 |
|
|
|
274 |
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided |
275 |
|
|
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding |
276 |
|
|
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no |
277 |
|
|
charge under subsection 6d. |
278 |
|
|
|
279 |
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded |
280 |
|
|
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be |
281 |
|
|
included in conveying the object code work. |
282 |
|
|
|
283 |
|
|
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product," which means any |
284 |
|
|
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, |
285 |
|
|
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for |
286 |
|
|
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a |
287 |
|
|
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of |
288 |
|
|
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, |
289 |
|
|
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of |
290 |
|
|
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way |
291 |
|
|
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected |
292 |
|
|
to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of |
293 |
|
|
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or |
294 |
|
|
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant |
295 |
|
|
mode of use of the product. |
296 |
|
|
|
297 |
|
|
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, |
298 |
|
|
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required |
299 |
|
|
to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User |
300 |
|
|
Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The |
301 |
|
|
information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of |
302 |
|
|
the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with |
303 |
|
|
solely because modification has been made. |
304 |
|
|
|
305 |
|
|
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
306 |
|
|
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as |
307 |
|
|
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the |
308 |
|
|
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a |
309 |
|
|
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the |
310 |
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied |
311 |
|
|
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply |
312 |
|
|
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install |
313 |
|
|
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has |
314 |
|
|
been installed in ROM). |
315 |
|
|
|
316 |
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
317 |
|
|
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or |
318 |
|
|
updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the |
319 |
|
|
recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or |
320 |
|
|
installed. Network access may be denied when the modification itself |
321 |
|
|
materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or |
322 |
|
|
violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network. |
323 |

324 |
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, |
325 |
|
|
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly |
326 |
|
|
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in |
327 |
|
|
source code form), and must require no special password or key for |
328 |
|
|
unpacking, reading or copying. |

7. Additional Terms. |
332 |
|
|
|
333 |
|
|
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this |
334 |
|
|
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. |
335 |
|
|
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall |
336 |
|
|
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent |
337 |
|
|
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions |
338 |
|
|
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately |
339 |
|
|
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by |
340 |
|
|
this License without regard to the additional permissions. |
341 |
|
|
|
342 |
|
|
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option |
343 |
|
|
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of |
344 |
|
|
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own |
345 |
|
|
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place |
346 |
|
|
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, |
347 |
|
|
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission. |
348 |
|
|
|
349 |
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material |
350 |
|
|
you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright |
351 |
|
|
holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with |
352 |
|
|
terms: |
353 |
|
|
|
354 |
|
|
a. disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the |
355 |
|
|
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
356 |
|
|
|
357 |
|
|
b. requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or |
358 |
|
|
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal |
359 |
|
|
Notices displayed by works containing it; or |
360 |
|
|
|
361 |
|
|
c. prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
362 |
|
|
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in |
363 |
|
|
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or |
364 |
|
|
|
365 |
|
|
d. limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or |
366 |
|
|
authors of the material; or |
367 |
|
|
|
368 |
|
|
e. declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some |
369 |
|
|
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
370 |
|
|
|
371 |
|
|
f. requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that |
372 |
|
|
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of |
373 |
|
|
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for |
374 |
|
|
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on |
375 |
|
|
those licensors and authors. |
376 |
|
|
|
377 |
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further |
378 |
|
|
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you |
379 |
|
|
received it, or any part of it, purports to be governed by this |
380 |
|
|
License, supplemented by a term that is a further restriction, you may |
381 |
|
|
remove that term. If a license document contains a further |
382 |
|
|
restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, |
383 |
|
|
you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that |
384 |
|
|
license document, provided that the further restriction does not |
385 |
|
|
survive such relicensing or conveying. |
386 |
|
|
|
387 |
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you |
388 |
|
|
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the |
389 |
|
|
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating |
390 |
|
|
where to find the applicable terms. |
391 |
|
|
|
392 |
|
|
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the |
393 |
|
|
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; |
394 |
|
|
the above requirements apply either way. |
395 |
|
|
|
396 |
|
|
8.[4] Termination. |
397 |
|
|
|
398 |
|
|
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly |
399 |
|
|
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or |
400 |
|
|
modify it is void. If you violate this License, any copyright holder |
401 |
|
|
of the work may put you on notice by notifying you of the violation, |
402 |
|
|
by any reasonable means, provided 60 days have not elapsed since the |
403 |
|
|
most recent violation. Having put you on notice, the copyright holder |
404 |
|
|
may, at any time, terminate the rights (including any patent rights) |
405 |
|
|
that the copyright holder has granted to you under this License. |
406 |
|
|
|
407 |
|
|
However, if this is the first time you have received notice of |
408 |
|
|
violation of this License (for any software) with respect to a given |
409 |
|
|
copyright holder, and you cure the violation within 30 days following |
410 |
|
|
your receipt of the notice, then your license is automatically |
411 |
|
|
reinstated. |
412 |
|
|
|
413 |
|
|
In the event that your rights are terminated under this section, |
414 |
|
|
parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this |
415 |
|
|
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as they remain |
416 |
|
|
in full compliance. Unless and until your rights are restored by the |
417 |
|
|
copyright holders, you do not qualify to receive licenses for the |
418 |
|
|
same material under section 10. |
419 |
|
|
|
420 |
|
|
9.[5] Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
421 |
|
|
|
422 |
|
|
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or |
423 |
|
|
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work |
424 |
|
|
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission |
425 |
|
|
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, |
426 |
|
|
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or |
427 |
|
|
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do |
428 |
|
|
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a |
429 |
|
|
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. |
430 |
|
|
|
431 |
|
|
10.[6] Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
432 |
|
|
|
433 |
|
|
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically |
434 |
|
|
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and |
435 |
|
|
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible |
436 |
|
|
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. |
437 |
|
|
|
438 |
|
|
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an |
439 |
|
|
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
440 |
|
|
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered |
441 |
|
|
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that |
442 |
|
|
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever |
443 |
|
|
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could |
444 |
|
|
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the |
445 |
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if |
446 |
|
|
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
447 |
|
|
|
448 |
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the |
449 |
|
|
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may |
450 |
|
|
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of |
451 |
|
|
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation |
452 |
|
|
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that |
453 |
|
|
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for |
454 |
|
|
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it. |
455 |
|
|
|
456 |
|
|
11. Patents. |
457 |
|
|
|
458 |
|
|
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this |
459 |
|
|
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The |
460 |
|
|
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version." |
461 |
|
|
|
462 |
|
|
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims |
463 |
|
|
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or |
464 |
|
|
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted |
465 |
|
|
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, |
466 |
|
|
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a |
467 |
|
|
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For |
468 |
|
|
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant |
469 |
|
|
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
470 |
|
|
this License. |
471 |
|
|
|
472 |
|
|
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free |
473 |
|
|
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to |
474 |
|
|
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and |
475 |
|
|
propagate the contents of its contributor version. |
476 |
|
|
|
477 |
|
|
For purposes of the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" |
478 |
|
|
is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to |
479 |
|
|
enforce a patent, and to "grant" a patent license to a party means to |
480 |
|
|
make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against |
481 |
|
|
the party. |
482 |
|
|
|
483 |
|
|
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, |
484 |
|
|
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone |
485 |
|
|
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a |
486 |
|
|
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, |
487 |
|
|
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so |
488 |
|
|
available, or (2) disclaim the patent license for this particular |
489 |
|
|
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of |
490 |
|
|
this License, to extend the patent license to downstream |
491 |
|
|
recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, |
492 |
|
|
but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a |
493 |
|
|
country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, |
494 |
|
|
would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that |
495 |
|
|
you have reason to believe are valid. |
496 |
|
|
|
497 |
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or |
498 |
|
|
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a |
499 |
|
|
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties |
500 |
|
|
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify |
501 |
|
|
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license |
502 |
|
|
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered |
503 |
|
|
work and works based on it. |
504 |
|
|
|
505 |
|
|
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within |
506 |
|
|
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is |
507 |
|
|
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are |
508 |
|
|
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered |
509 |
|
|
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is |
510 |
|
|
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment |
511 |
|
|
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying |
512 |
|
|
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the |
513 |
|
|
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
514 |
|
|
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work |
515 |
|
|
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily |
516 |
|
|
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that |
517 |
|
|
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, |
518 |
|
|
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. |
519 |
|
|
|
520 |
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting |
521 |
|
|
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may |
522 |
|
|
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law. |
523 |

|
|
12.[7] No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
525 |
|
|
|
526 |
|
|
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
527 |
|
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
528 |
|
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey the |
529 |
|
|
Program, or other covered work, so as to satisfy simultaneously your |
530 |
|
|
obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as |
531 |
|
|
a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms |
532 |
|
|
that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom |
533 |
|
|
you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and |
534 |
|
|
this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. |
535 |
|
|
|
536 |
|
|
13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License. |
537 |
|
|
|
538 |
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify |
539 |
|
|
the Program, your modified version must give all users interacting |
540 |
|
|
with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports |
541 |
|
|
such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source |
542 |
|
|
of your version by providing access to copy the Corresponding Source |
543 |
|
|
from a network server at no charge. |
544 |
|
|
|
545 |
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have |
546 |
|
|
permission to link any covered work with a work licensed under version |
547 |
|
|
3 (or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation) of |
548 |
|
|
the GNU General Public License, and to convey the resulting |
549 |
|
|
combination. The terms of this License will continue to apply to your |
550 |
|
|
covered work but will not apply to the work with which it is linked, |
551 |
|
|
which will remain governed by the GNU General Public License. |
552 |
|
|
|
553 |
|
|
14.[9] Revised Versions of this License. |
554 |
|
|
|
555 |
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
556 |
|
|
of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new |
557 |
|
|
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may |
558 |
|
|
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
559 |
|
|
|
560 |
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
561 |
|
|
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero |
562 |
|
|
General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have |
563 |
|
|
the option of following the terms and conditions either of that |
564 |
|
|
numbered version or of any later version published by the Free |
565 |
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number |
566 |
|
|
of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version |
567 |
|
|
ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
568 |
|
|
|
569 |
|
|
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide whether future |
570 |
|
|
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License shall apply, that |
571 |
|
|
proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is permanent |
572 |
|
|
authorization for you to choose that version for the Program. |
573 |
|
|
|
574 |
|
|
Later license versions may grant you additional or different |
575 |
|
|
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any |
576 |
|
|
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a |
577 |
|
|
later version. |

APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
583 |

HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY |

OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, |

THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |

IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF |

WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS |
594 |

|
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
595 |
|
|
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE |
596 |
|
|
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
597 |
|
|
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
598 |
|
|
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), |

above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, |

reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates |

|
|
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
614 |
|
|
|
615 |
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
616 |
|
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
617 |
|
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
618 |
|
|
|
619 |
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
620 |
|
|
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
621 |
|
|
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
622 |
|
|
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
623 |
|
|
|
624 |
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
