8 GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
9 Version 3, 19 November 2007
10
11 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
12 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
13 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
14
15 Preamble
16
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 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 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
64 modification follow.
65
66 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
67
68 0. Definitions.
69
70 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
71 License.
72
73 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
74 of works, such as semiconductor masks.
75
76 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
77 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
78 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
79
80 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
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 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
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 1. Source Code.
109
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 2. Basic Permissions.
151
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 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
167 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 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
176
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 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
185 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 technological measures.
190
191 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
192
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 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
205
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 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
209
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 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
232 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
233 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
234 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 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
242
243 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
244 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 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
258 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 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
263 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 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
276 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 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
281 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 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
290 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
291 included in conveying the object code work.
292
293 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
314 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
315 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 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
333 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
334 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 7. Additional Terms.
340
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 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
384 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
385 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
386 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
387 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
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 8. Termination.
404
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 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
431 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
432
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 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
443
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 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
472
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 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
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 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 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 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
537
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 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
548 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
549
550 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 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
590 Later license versions may give you additional or different
591 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 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
596
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 16. Limitation of Liability.
607
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 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
628
629 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
630
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 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
644 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
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 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
655
656 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
657
658 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
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.
