1 root 1.3 Take note of the GNU Affero License (COPYING.Affero), which applies to
2     part of this release, which means you have to follow the requirements laid
3     out in section 13. of both licenses.
4    
5     Note that ALL changed introduced by the Deliantra team are under the
6 root 1.4 Affero GNU Public License, but the files that are fully AGPL are
7     documented in the COPYING.Affero file for your convinience. Those files
8     comprise a substantial part of the runtime system, and as long as you
9     don't remove them, your installation will have to follow the AGPL license.

14     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
15     Version 3, 29 June 2007
16    
17     Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
18     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
19     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
20    
21     Preamble
22    
23     The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
24     software and other kinds of works.
25    
26     The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
27     to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
28     the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
29     share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
30     software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
31     GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
32     any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
33     your programs, too.
34    
35     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
36     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
37     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
38     them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
39     want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
40     free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
41    
42     To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
43     these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
44     certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
45     you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
46    
47     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
48     gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
49     freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
50     or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
51     know their rights.
52    
53     Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
54     (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
55     giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
56    
57     For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
58     that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
59     authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
60     changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
61     authors of previous versions.
62    
63     Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
64     modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
65     can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
66     protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
67     pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
68     use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
69     have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
70     products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
71     stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
72     of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
73    
74     Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
75     States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
76     software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
77     avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
78     make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
79     patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
80    
81     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
82     modification follow.
83    
84     TERMS AND CONDITIONS
85    
86     0. Definitions.
87    
88     "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
89    
90     "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
91     works, such as semiconductor masks.
92    
93     "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
94     License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
95     "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
96    
97     To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
98     in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
99     exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
100     earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
101    
102     A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
103     on the Program.
104    
105     To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
106     permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
107     infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
108     computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
109     distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
110     public, and in some countries other activities as well.
111    
112     To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
113     parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
114     a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
115    
116     An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
117     to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
118     feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
119     tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
120     extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
121     work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
122     the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
123     menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
124    
125     1. Source Code.
126    
127     The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
128     for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
129     form of a work.
130    
131     A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
132     standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
133     interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
134     is widely used among developers working in that language.
135    
136     The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
137     than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
138     packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
139     Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
140     Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
141     implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
142     "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
143     (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
144     (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
145     produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
146    
147     The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
148     the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
149     work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
150     control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
151     System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
152     programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
153     which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
154     includes interface definition files associated with source files for
155     the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
156     linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
157     such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
158     subprograms and other parts of the work.
159    
160     The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
161     can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
162     Source.
163    
164     The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
165     same work.
166    
167     2. Basic Permissions.
168    
169     All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
170     copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
171     conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
172     permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
173     covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
174     content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
175     rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
176    
177     You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
178     convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
179     in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
180     of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
181     with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
182     the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
183     not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
184     for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
185     and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
186     your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
187    
188     Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
189     the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
190     makes it unnecessary.
191    
192     3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
193    
194     No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
195     measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
196     11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
197     similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
198     measures.
199    
200     When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
201     circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
202     is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
203     the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
204     modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
205     users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
206     technological measures.
207    
208     4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
209    
210     You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
211     receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
212     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
213     keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
214     non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
215     keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
216     recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
217    
218     You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
219     and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
220    
221     5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
222    
223     You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
224     produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
225     terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
226    
227     a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
228     it, and giving a relevant date.
229    
230     b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
231     released under this License and any conditions added under section
232     7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
233     "keep intact all notices".
234    
235     c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
236     License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
237     License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
238     additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
239     regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
240     permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
241     invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
242    
243     d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
244     Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
245     interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
246     work need not make them do so.
247    
248     A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
249     works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
250     and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
251     in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
252     "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
253     used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
254     beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
255     in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
256     parts of the aggregate.
257    
258     6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
259    
260     You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
261     of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
262     machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
263     in one of these ways:
264    
265     a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
266     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
267     Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
268     customarily used for software interchange.
269    
270     b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
271     (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
272     written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
273     long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
274     model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
275     copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
276     product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
277     medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
278     more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
279     conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
280     Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
281    
282     c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
283     written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
284     alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
285     only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
286     with subsection 6b.
287    
288     d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
289     place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
290     Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
291     further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
292     Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
293     copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
294     may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
295     that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
296     clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
297     Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
298     Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
299     available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
300    
301     e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
302     you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
303     Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
304     charge under subsection 6d.
305    
306     A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
307     from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
308     included in conveying the object code work.
309    
310     A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
311     tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
312     or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
313     into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
314     doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
315     product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
316     typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
317     of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
318     actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
319     is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
320     commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
321     the only significant mode of use of the product.
322    
323     "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
324     procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
325     and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
326     a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
327     suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
328     code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
329     modification has been made.
330    
331     If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
332     specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
333     part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
334     User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
335     fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
336     Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
337     by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
338     if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
339     modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
340     been installed in ROM).
341    
342     The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
343     requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
344     for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
345     the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
346     network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
347     adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
348     protocols for communication across the network.
349    
350     Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
351     in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
352     documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
353     source code form), and must require no special password or key for
354     unpacking, reading or copying.
355    
356     7. Additional Terms.
357    
358     "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
359     License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
360     Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
361     be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
362     that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
363     apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
364     under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
365     this License without regard to the additional permissions.
366    
367     When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
368     remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
369     it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
370     removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
371     additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
372     for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
373    
374     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
375     add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
376     that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
377    
378     a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
379     terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
380    
381     b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
382     author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
383     Notices displayed by works containing it; or
384    
385     c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
386     requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
387     reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
388    
389     d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
390     authors of the material; or
391    
392     e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
393     trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
394    
395     f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
396     material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
397     it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
398     any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
399     those licensors and authors.
400    
401     All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
402     restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
403     received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
404     governed by this License along with a term that is a further
405     restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
406     a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
407     License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
408     of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
409     not survive such relicensing or conveying.
410    
411     If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
412     must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
413     additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
414     where to find the applicable terms.
415    
416     Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
417     form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
418     the above requirements apply either way.
419    
420     8. Termination.
421    
422     You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
423     provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
424     modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
425     this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
426     paragraph of section 11).
427    
428     However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
429     license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
430     provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
431     finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
432     holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
433     prior to 60 days after the cessation.
434    
435     Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
436     reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
437     violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
438     received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
439     copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
440     your receipt of the notice.
441    
442     Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
443     licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
444     this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
445     reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
446     material under section 10.
447    
448     9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
449    
450     You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
451     run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
452     occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
453     to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
454     nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
455     modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
456     not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
457     covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
458    
459     10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
460    
461     Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
462     receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
463     propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
464     for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
465    
466     An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
467     organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
468     organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
469     work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
470     transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
471     licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
472     give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
473     Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
474     the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
475    
476     You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
477     rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
478     not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
479     rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
480     (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
481     any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
482     sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
483    
484     11. Patents.
485    
486     A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
487     License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
488     work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
489    
490     A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
491     owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
492     hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
493     by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
494     but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
495     consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
496     purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
497     patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
498     this License.
499    
500     Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
501     patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
502     make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
503     propagate the contents of its contributor version.
504    
505     In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
506     agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
507     (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
508     sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
509     party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
510     patent against the party.
511    
512     If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
513     and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
514     to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
515     publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
516     then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
517     available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
518     patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
519     consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
520     license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
521     actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
522     covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
523     in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
524     country that you have reason to believe are valid.
525    
526     If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
527     arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
528     covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
529     receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
530     or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
531     you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
532     work and works based on it.
533    
534     A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
535     the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
536     conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
537     specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
538     work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
539     in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
540     to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
541     the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
542     parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
543     patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
544     conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
545     for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
546     contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
547     or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
548    
549     Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
550     any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
551     otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
552    
553     12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
554    
555     If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
556     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
557     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
558     covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
559     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
560     not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
561     to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
562     the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
563     License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
564    
565     13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
566    
567     Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
568     permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
569     under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
570     combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
571     License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
572     but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
573     section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
574     combination as such.
575    
576     14. Revised Versions of this License.
577    
578     The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
579     the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
580     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
581     address new problems or concerns.
582    
583     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
584     Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
585     Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
586     option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
587     version or of any later version published by the Free Software
588     Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
589     GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
590     by the Free Software Foundation.
591    
592     If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
593     versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
594     public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
595     to choose that version for the Program.
596    
597     Later license versions may give you additional or different
598     permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
599     author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
600     later version.
601    
602     15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
603    
604     THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
605     APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
606     HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
607     OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
608     THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
609     PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
610     IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
611     ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
612    
613     16. Limitation of Liability.
614    
615     IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
616     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
617     THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
618     GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
619     USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
620     DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
621     PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
622     EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
623     SUCH DAMAGES.
624    
625     17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
626    
627     If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
628     above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
629     reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
630     an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
631     Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
632     copy of the Program in return for a fee.
633    
634     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
635    
636     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
637    
638     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
639     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
640     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
641    
642     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
643     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
644     state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
645     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
646    
647     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
648     Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
649    
650     This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
651     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
652     the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
653     (at your option) any later version.
654    
655     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
656     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
657     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
658     GNU General Public License for more details.
659    
660     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
661     along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
662    
663     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
664    
665     If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
666     notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
667    
668     <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
669     This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
670     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
671     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
672    
673     The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
674     parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
675     might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
676    
677     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
678     if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
679     For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
680     <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
681    
682     The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
683     into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
684     may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
685     the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
686     Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
687     <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
