GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |

Version 3, 19 November 2007 |

|

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. |
665 |
