# User Rev Content
1 root 1.5 Take note of the GNU Affero License (COPYING.Affero), which applies to part
2 root 1.4 of this release, which means you have to follow the requirements laid out
3     in section 13. of both licenses.
4    
5 root 1.5 Note that ALL changed introduced by the Deliantra team are under the
6     Affero GNU Public License.
7    
8 root 1.2 GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
9 root 1.3 Version 3, 19 November 2007
10 root 1.1
11 root 1.2 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
12 root 1.1 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
13     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
14    
15 root 1.2 Preamble
16 root 1.1
17     The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license
18     for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
19     cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
20    
21     The licenses for most software and other practical works are
22     designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By
23     contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your
24     freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it
25     remains free software for all its users.
26    
27     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
28     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
29     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
30     them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
31     want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
32     free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
33    
34     Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
35     with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
36     you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
37     and/or modify the software.
38    
39     A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
40     improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
41     receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
42     incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
43     encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
44     software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
45     The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
46     letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
47     source code to the public.
48    
49     The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
50     ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
51     to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
52     provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
53     users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
54     a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
55     code of the modified version.
56    
57 root 1.3 An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
58     published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
59     a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
60     released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
61     this license.
62    
63 root 1.1 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
64     modification follow.
65    
66 root 1.2 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
67 root 1.1
68 root 1.2 0. Definitions.
69 root 1.1
70     "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
71     License.
72    
73 root 1.3 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
74     of works, such as semiconductor masks.
75    
76 root 1.1 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
77 root 1.2 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
78 root 1.1 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
79    
80 root 1.2 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
81     in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
82     exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
83     earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
84    
85     A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
86     on the Program.
87 root 1.1
88     To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
89     permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
90     infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
91 root 1.2 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
92     distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
93     public, and in some countries other activities as well.
94    
95     To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
96     parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
97     a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
98 root 1.1
99     An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
100     to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
101     feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
102     tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
103     extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
104     work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
105     the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
106     menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
107    
108 root 1.2 1. Source Code.
109 root 1.1
110     The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
111     for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
112     form of a work.
113    
114     A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
115     standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
116     interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
117     is widely used among developers working in that language.
118    
119     The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
120     than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
121     packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
122     Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
123     Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
124     implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
125     "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
126     (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
127     (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
128     produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
129    
130     The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
131     the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
132     work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
133     control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
134     System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
135     programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
136     which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
137     includes interface definition files associated with source files for
138     the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
139     linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
140     such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
141     subprograms and other parts of the work.
142    
143     The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
144     can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
145     Source.
146    
147     The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
148     same work.
149    
150 root 1.2 2. Basic Permissions.
151 root 1.1
152     All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
153     copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
154     conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
155     permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
156     covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
157     content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
158     rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
159    
160     You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
161     convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
162     in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
163     of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
164     with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
165     the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
166 root 1.2 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
167 root 1.1 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
168     and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
169     your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
170    
171     Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
172     the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
173     makes it unnecessary.
174    
175 root 1.2 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
176 root 1.1
177     No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
178     measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
179     11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
180     similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
181     measures.
182    
183     When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
184 root 1.2 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
185 root 1.1 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
186     the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
187     modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
188     users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
189 root 1.2 technological measures.
190 root 1.1
191 root 1.2 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
192 root 1.1
193     You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
194     receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
195     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
196     keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
197     non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
198     keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
199     recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
200    
201     You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
202     and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
203    
204 root 1.2 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
205 root 1.1
206     You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
207     produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
208 root 1.2 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
209 root 1.1
210     a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
211     it, and giving a relevant date.
212    
213     b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
214     released under this License and any conditions added under section
215     7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
216     "keep intact all notices".
217    
218     c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
219     License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
220     License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
221     additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
222     regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
223     permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
224     invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
225    
226     d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
227     Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
228     interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
229     work need not make them do so.
230    
231 root 1.2 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
232 root 1.1 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
233 root 1.2 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
234 root 1.1 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
235     "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
236     used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
237     beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
238     in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
239     parts of the aggregate.
240    
241 root 1.2 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
242 root 1.1
243 root 1.2 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
244 root 1.1 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
245     machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
246     in one of these ways:
247    
248     a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
249     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
250     Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
251     customarily used for software interchange.
252    
253     b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
254     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
255     written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
256     long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
257 root 1.2 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
258 root 1.1 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
259     product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
260     medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
261     more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
262 root 1.2 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
263 root 1.1 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
264    
265     c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
266     written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
267     alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
268     only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
269     with subsection 6b.
270    
271     d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
272     place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
273     Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
274     further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
275 root 1.2 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
276 root 1.1 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
277     may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
278     that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
279     clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
280 root 1.2 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
281 root 1.1 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
282     available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
283    
284     e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
285     you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
286     Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
287     charge under subsection 6d.
288    
289 root 1.2 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
290 root 1.1 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
291     included in conveying the object code work.
292    
293 root 1.2 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
294     tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
295     or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
296     into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
297     doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
298     product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
299     typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
300     of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
301     actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
302     is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
303     commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
304     the only significant mode of use of the product.
305    
306     "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
307     procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
308     and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
309     a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
310     suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
311     code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
312     modification has been made.
313 root 1.1
314 root 1.2 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
315 root 1.1 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
316     part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
317     User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
318     fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
319     Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
320     by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
321     if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
322     modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
323     been installed in ROM).
324    
325 root 1.2 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
326     requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
327     for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
328     the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
329     network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
330     adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
331     protocols for communication across the network.
332 root 1.1
333 root 1.2 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
334 root 1.1 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
335     documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
336     source code form), and must require no special password or key for
337     unpacking, reading or copying.
338    
339 root 1.2 7. Additional Terms.
340 root 1.1
341     "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
342     License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
343     Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
344     be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
345     that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
346     apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
347     under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
348     this License without regard to the additional permissions.
349    
350     When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
351     remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
352     it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
353     removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
354     additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
355     for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
356    
357 root 1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
358     add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
359     that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
360    
361     a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
362     terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
363    
364     b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
365     author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
366     Notices displayed by works containing it; or
367    
368     c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
369     requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
370     reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
371    
372     d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
373     authors of the material; or
374    
375     e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
376     trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
377    
378     f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
379     material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
380     it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
381     any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
382     those licensors and authors.
383 root 1.1
384     All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
385     restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
386 root 1.2 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
387 root 1.3 governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
388     you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
389     restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
390     may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
391     document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
392     relicensing or conveying.
393 root 1.1
394     If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
395     must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
396     additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
397     where to find the applicable terms.
398    
399     Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
400     form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
401     the above requirements apply either way.
402    
403 root 1.2 8. Termination.
404 root 1.1
405     You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
406     provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
407 root 1.2 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
408     this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
409     paragraph of section 11).
410    
411     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
412     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
413     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
414     finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
415     holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
416     prior to 60 days after the cessation.
417    
418     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
419     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
420     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
421     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
422     copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
423     your receipt of the notice.
424    
425     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
426     licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
427     this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
428     reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
429     material under section 10.
430 root 1.1
431 root 1.2 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
432 root 1.1
433     You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
434     run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
435     occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
436     to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
437     nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
438     modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
439     not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
440     covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
441    
442 root 1.2 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
443 root 1.1
444     Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
445     receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
446     propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
447     for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
448    
449     An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
450     organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
451     organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
452     work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
453     transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
454     licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
455     give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
456     Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
457     the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
458    
459     You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
460     rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
461     not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
462     rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
463     (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
464     any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
465     sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
466    
467     11. Patents.
468    
469     A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
470     License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
471 root 1.2 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
472 root 1.1
473     A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
474     owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
475     hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
476     by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
477     but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
478     consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
479     purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
480     patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
481     this License.
482    
483     Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
484     patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
485     make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
486     propagate the contents of its contributor version.
487    
488 root 1.2 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
489     agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
490     (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
491     sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
492     party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
493     patent against the party.
494 root 1.1
495     If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
496     and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
497     to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
498     publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
499     then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
500 root 1.2 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
501     patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
502     consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
503     license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
504     actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
505     covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
506     in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
507     country that you have reason to believe are valid.
508    
509 root 1.1 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
510     arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
511     covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
512     receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
513     or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
514     you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
515     work and works based on it.
516    
517     A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
518     the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
519     conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
520     specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
521     work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
522     in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
523     to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
524     the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
525     parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
526     patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
527     conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
528     for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
529     contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
530     or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
531    
532     Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
533     any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
534     otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
535    
536 root 1.2 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
537 root 1.1
538     If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
539     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
540 root 1.2 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
541     covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
542     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
543     not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
544     to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
545     the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
546     License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
547 root 1.1
548     13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
549    
550 root 1.2 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
551     Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
552     interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
553     supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
554     Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
555     from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
556     means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
557     shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
558     of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
559     following paragraph.
560    
561     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission
562     to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3
563     of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to
564     convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
565     apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is
566     combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public
567     License.
568    
569     14. Revised Versions of this License.
570    
571     The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
572     the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
573     versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ
574     in detail to address new problems or concerns.
575    
576 root 1.3 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
577     Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero
578     General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have
579     the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
580     numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
581     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
582     of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version
583     ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
584    
585     If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
586     versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that
587     proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
588     authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
589 root 1.1
590 root 1.2 Later license versions may give you additional or different
591 root 1.1 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
592     author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
593     later version.
594    
595 root 1.2 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
596 root 1.1
597     THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
598     APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
599     HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
600     OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
601     THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
602     PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
603     IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
604     ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
605    
606 root 1.2 16. Limitation of Liability.
607 root 1.1
608     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
609     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
610     THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
611     GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
612     USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
613     DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
614     PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
615     EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
616     SUCH DAMAGES.
617    
618     17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
619    
620     If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
621     above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
622     reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
623     an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
624     Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
625     copy of the Program in return for a fee.
626    
627 root 1.3 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
628 root 1.1
629 root 1.3 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
630 root 1.1
631     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
632     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
633     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
634    
635     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
636     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
637     state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
638     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
639    
640     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
641     Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
642    
643 root 1.2 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
644 root 1.3 it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
645     published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
646     License, or (at your option) any later version.
647 root 1.1
648     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
649     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
650     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
651     GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
652    
653     You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
654 root 1.2 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
655 root 1.1
656     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
657    
658 root 1.3 If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
659     network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
660     get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
661     interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
662     of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
663     solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
664     specific requirements.
665 root 1.2
666     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
667     if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
