45 GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
46 Version 3, 19 November 2007
47
48 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
49 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
50 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
51
52 Preamble
53
54 The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license
55 for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
56 cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
57
58 The licenses for most software and other practical works are
59 designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By
60 contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your
61 freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it
62 remains free software for all its users.
63
64 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
65 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
66 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
67 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
68 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
69 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
70
71 Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
72 with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
73 you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
74 and/or modify the software.
75
76 A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
77 improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
78 receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
79 incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
80 encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
81 software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
82 The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
83 letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
84 source code to the public.
85
86 The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
87 ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
88 to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
89 provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
90 users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
91 a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
92 code of the modified version.
93
94 An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
95 published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
96 a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
97 released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
98 this license.
99
100 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
101 modification follow.
102
103 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
104
105 0. Definitions.
106
107 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
108 License.
109
110 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
111 of works, such as semiconductor masks.
112
113 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
114 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
115 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
116
117 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
118 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
119 exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
120 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
121
122 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
123 on the Program.
124
125 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
126 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
127 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
128 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
129 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
130 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
131
132 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
133 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
134 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
135
136 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
137 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
138 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
139 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
140 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
141 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
142 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
143 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
144
145 1. Source Code.
146
147 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
148 for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
149 form of a work.
150
151 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
152 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
153 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
154 is widely used among developers working in that language.
155
156 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
157 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
158 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
159 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
160 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
161 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
162 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
163 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
164 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
165 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
166
167 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
168 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
169 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
170 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
171 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
172 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
173 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
174 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
175 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
176 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
177 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
178 subprograms and other parts of the work.
179
180 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
181 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
182 Source.
183
184 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
185 same work.
186
187 2. Basic Permissions.
188
189 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
190 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
191 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
192 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
193 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
194 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
195 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
196
197 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
198 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
199 in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
200 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
201 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
202 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
203 not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
204 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
205 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
206 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
207
208 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
209 the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
210 makes it unnecessary.
211
212 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
213
214 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
215 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
216 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
217 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
218 measures.
219
220 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
221 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
222 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
223 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
224 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
225 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
226 technological measures.
227
228 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
229
230 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
231 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
232 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
233 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
234 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
235 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
236 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
237
238 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
239 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
240
241 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
242
243 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
244 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
245 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
246
247 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
248 it, and giving a relevant date.
249
250 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
251 released under this License and any conditions added under section
252 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
253 "keep intact all notices".
254
255 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
256 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
257 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
258 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
259 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
260 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
261 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
262
263 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
264 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
265 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
266 work need not make them do so.
267
268 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
269 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
270 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
271 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
272 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
273 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
274 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
275 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
276 parts of the aggregate.
277
278 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
279
280 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
281 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
282 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
283 in one of these ways:
284
285 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
286 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
287 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
288 customarily used for software interchange.
289
290 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
291 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
292 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
293 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
294 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
295 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
296 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
297 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
298 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
299 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
300 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
301
302 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
303 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
304 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
305 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
306 with subsection 6b.
307
308 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
309 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
310 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
311 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
312 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
313 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
314 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
315 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
316 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
317 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
318 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
319 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
320
321 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
322 you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
323 Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
324 charge under subsection 6d.
325
326 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
327 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
328 included in conveying the object code work.
329
330 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
331 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
332 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
333 into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
334 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
335 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
336 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
337 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
338 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
339 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
340 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
341 the only significant mode of use of the product.
342
343 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
344 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
345 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
346 a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
347 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
348 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
349 modification has been made.
350
351 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
352 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
353 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
354 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
355 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
356 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
357 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
358 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
359 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
360 been installed in ROM).
361
362 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
363 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
364 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
365 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
366 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
367 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
368 protocols for communication across the network.
369
370 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
371 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
372 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
373 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
374 unpacking, reading or copying.
375
376 7. Additional Terms.
377
378 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
379 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
380 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
381 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
382 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
383 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
384 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
385 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
386
387 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
388 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
389 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
390 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
391 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
392 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
393
394 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
395 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
396 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
397
398 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
399 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
400
401 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
402 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
403 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
404
405 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
406 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
407 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
408
409 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
410 authors of the material; or
411
412 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
413 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
414
415 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
416 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
417 it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
418 any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
419 those licensors and authors.
420
421 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
422 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
423 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
424 governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction,
425 you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further
426 restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you
427 may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
428 document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
429 relicensing or conveying.
430
431 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
432 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
433 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
434 where to find the applicable terms.
435
436 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
437 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
438 the above requirements apply either way.
439
440 8. Termination.
441
442 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
443 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
444 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
445 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
446 paragraph of section 11).
447
448 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
449 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
450 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
451 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
452 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
453 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
454
455 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
456 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
457 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
458 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
459 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
460 your receipt of the notice.
461
462 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
463 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
464 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
465 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
466 material under section 10.
467
468 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
469
470 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
471 run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
472 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
473 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
474 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
475 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
476 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
477 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
478
479 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
480
481 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
482 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
483 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
484 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
485
486 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
487 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
488 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
489 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
490 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
491 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
492 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
493 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
494 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
495
496 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
497 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
498 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
499 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
500 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
501 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
502 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
503
504 11. Patents.
505
506 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
507 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
508 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
509
510 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
511 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
512 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
513 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
514 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
515 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
516 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
517 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
518 this License.
519
520 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
521 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
522 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
523 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
524
525 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
526 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
527 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
528 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
529 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
530 patent against the party.
531
532 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
533 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
534 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
535 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
536 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
537 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
538 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
539 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
540 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
541 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
542 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
543 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
544 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
545
546 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
547 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
548 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
549 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
550 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
551 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
552 work and works based on it.
553
554 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
555 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
556 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
557 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
558 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
559 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
560 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
561 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
562 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
563 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
564 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
565 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
566 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
567 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
568
569 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
570 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
571 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
572
573 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
574
575 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
576 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
577 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
578 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
579 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
580 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
581 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
582 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
583 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
584
585 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
586
587 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
588 Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
589 interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
590 supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
591 Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
592 from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
593 means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
594 shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
595 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
596 following paragraph.
597
598 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission
599 to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3
600 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to
601 convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
602 apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is
603 combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public
604 License.
605
606 14. Revised Versions of this License.
607
608 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
609 the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
610 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ
611 in detail to address new problems or concerns.
612
613 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
614 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero
615 General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have
616 the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
617 numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
618 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
619 of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version
620 ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
621
622 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
623 versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that
624 proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
625 authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
626
627 Later license versions may give you additional or different
628 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
629 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
630 later version.
631
632 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
633
634 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
635 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
636 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
637 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
638 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
639 PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
640 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
641 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
642
643 16. Limitation of Liability.
644
645 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
646 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
647 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
648 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
649 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
650 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
651 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
652 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
653 SUCH DAMAGES.
654
655 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
656
657 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
658 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
659 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
660 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
661 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
662 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
663
664 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
665
666 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
667
668 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
669 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
670 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
671
672 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
673 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
674 state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
675 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
676
677 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
678 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
679
680 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
681 it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
682 published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
683 License, or (at your option) any later version.
684
685 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
686 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
687 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
688 GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
689
690 You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
691 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
692
693 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
694
695 If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
696 network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
697 get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
698 interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
699 of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
700 solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
701 specific requirements.
702
703 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
704 if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
