24\section*{Preamble}
25
26\noindent\indent
27  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
28software and other kinds of works.
29
30  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
31to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
32the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
33share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
34software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
35GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
36any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
37your programs, too.
38
39  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
40price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
41have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
42them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
43want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
44free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
45
46  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
47these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
48certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
49you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
50
51  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
52gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
53freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
54or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
55know their rights.
56
57  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
58(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
59giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
60
61  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
62that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
63authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
64changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
65authors of previous versions.
66
67  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
68modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
69can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
70protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
71pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
72use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
73have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
74products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
75stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
76of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
77
78  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
79States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
80software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
81avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
82make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
83patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
84
85  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
86modification follow.
87
88\section*{TERMS AND CONDITIONS}
89
90\subsubsection*{0. Definitions.}
91
92\noindent\indent
93  ``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public
94License.
95
96  ``Copyright'' also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
97of works, such as semiconductor masks.
98
99  ``The Program'' refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
100License.  Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.  ``Licensees'' and
101``recipients'' may be individuals or organizations.
102
103  To ``modify'' a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
104work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making
105of an exact copy.  The resulting work is called a ``modified version''
106of the earlier work or a work ``based on'' the earlier work.
107
108  A ``covered work'' means either the unmodified Program or a work based
109on the Program.
110
111  To ``propagate'' a work means to do anything with it that, without
112permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
113infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
114computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
115distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
116public, and in some countries other activities as well.
117
118  To ``convey'' a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
119parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
120a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
121
122  An interactive user interface displays ``Appropriate Legal Notices''
123to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
124feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
125tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
126extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
127work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
128the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
129menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
130
131\subsubsection*{1. Source Code.}
132
133\noindent\indent
134  The ``source code'' for a work means the preferred form of the work
135for making modifications to it.  ``Object code'' means any non-source
136form of a work.
137
138  A ``Standard Interface'' means an interface that either is an official
139standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
140interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
141is widely used among developers working in that language.
142
143  The ``System Libraries'' of an executable work include anything, other
144than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
145packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
146Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
147Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
148implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
149``Major Component'', in this context, means a major essential component
150(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
151(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
152produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
153
154  The ``Corresponding Source'' for a work in object code form means all
155the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
156work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
157control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
158System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
159programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
160which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
161includes interface definition files associated with source files for
162the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
163linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
164such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
165subprograms and other parts of the work.
166
167  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
168can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
169Source.
170
171  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
172same work.
173
174\subsubsection*{2. Basic Permissions.}
175
176\noindent\indent
177  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
178copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
179conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
180permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
181covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
182content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
183rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
184
185  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
186convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
187in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
188of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
189with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
190the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
191not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
192for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
193and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
194your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
195
196  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
197the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
198makes it unnecessary.
199
200\subsubsection*{3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From
201Anti-Circumvention Law.}
202
203\noindent\indent
204  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
205measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
20611 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
207similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
208measures.
209
210  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
211circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
212is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
213the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
214modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
215users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
216technological measures.
217
218\subsubsection*{4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.}
219
220\noindent\indent
221  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
222receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
223appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
224keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
225non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
226keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
227recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
228
229  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
230and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
231
232\subsubsection*{5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.}
233
234  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
235produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
236terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
237
238    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
239    it, and giving a relevant date.
240
241    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
242    released under this License and any conditions added under section
243    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
244    ``keep intact all notices''.
245
246    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
247    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
248    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
249    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
250    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
251    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
252    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
253
254    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
255    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
256    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
257    work need not make them do so.
258
259  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
260works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
261and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
262in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
263``aggregate'' if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
264used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
265beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
266in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
267parts of the aggregate.
268
269\subsubsection*{6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.}
270
271  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
272of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
273machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
274in one of these ways:
275
276    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
277    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
278    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
279    customarily used for software interchange.
280
281    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
282    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
283    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
284    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
285    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
286    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
287    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
288    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
289    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
290    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
291    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
292
293    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
294    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
295    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
296    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
297    with subsection 6b.
298
299    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
300    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
301    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
302    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
303    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
304    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
305    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
306    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
307    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
308    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
309    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
310    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
311
312    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
313    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
314    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
315    charge under subsection 6d.
316
317  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
318from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
319included in conveying the object code work.
320
321  A ``User Product'' is either (1) a ``consumer product'', which means
322any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
323family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
324incorporation into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a
325consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.
326For a particular product received by a particular user, ``normally
327used'' refers to a typical or common use of that class of product,
328regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which
329the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the
330product.  A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the
331product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses,
332unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the
333product.
334
335  ``Installation Information'' for a User Product means any methods,
336procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
337and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product
338from a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information
339must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified
340object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
341modification has been made.
342
343  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
344specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
345part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
346User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
347fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
348Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
349by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
350if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
351modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
352been installed in ROM).
353
354  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
355requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
356for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
357the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to
358a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
359adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
360protocols for communication across the network.
361
362  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
363in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
364documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
365source code form), and must require no special password or key for
366unpacking, reading or copying.
367
368\subsubsection*{7. Additional Terms.}
369
370\noindent\indent
371  ``Additional permissions'' are terms that supplement the terms of this
372License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
373Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
374be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
375that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
376apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
377under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
378this License without regard to the additional permissions.
379
380  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
381remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
382it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
383removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
384additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
385for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
386
387  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
388add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
389of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
390
391    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
392    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
393
394    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
395    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
396    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
397
398    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
399    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
400    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
401
402    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
403    authors of the material; or
404
405    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
406    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
407
408    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
409    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
410    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
411    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
412    those licensors and authors.
413
414  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered ``further
415restrictions'' within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
416received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
417governed by this License along with a term that is a further
418restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
419a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
420License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
421of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
422not survive such relicensing or conveying.
423
424  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
425must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
426additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
427where to find the applicable terms.
428
429  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
430form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
431the above requirements apply either way.
432
433\subsubsection*{8. Termination.}
434
435\noindent\indent
436  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
437provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
438modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
439this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
440paragraph of section 11).
441
442  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
443license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
444provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
445finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
446holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
447prior to 60 days after the cessation.
448
449  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
450reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
451violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
452received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
453copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
454your receipt of the notice.
455
456  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
457licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
458this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
459reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
460material under section 10.
461
462\subsubsection*{9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.}
463
464\noindent\indent
465  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
466run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
467occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
468to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
469nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
470modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
471not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
472covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
473
474\subsubsection*{10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.}
475
476\noindent\indent
477  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
478receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
479propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
480for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
481
482  An ``entity transaction'' is a transaction transferring control of an
483organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
484organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
485work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
486transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
487licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
488give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
489Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
490the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
491
492  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
493rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
494not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
495rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
496(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
497any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
498sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
499
500\subsubsection*{11. Patents.}
501
502\noindent\indent
503  A ``contributor'' is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
504License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
505work thus licensed is called the contributor's ``contributor version''.
506
507  A contributor's ``essential patent claims'' are all patent claims
508owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
509hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
510by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
511but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
512consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
513purposes of this definition, ``control'' includes the right to grant
514patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
515this License.
516
517  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
518patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
519make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
520propagate the contents of its contributor version.
521
522  In the following three paragraphs, a ``patent license'' is any express
523agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
524(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
525sue for patent infringement).  To ``grant'' such a patent license to a
526party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
527patent against the party.
528
529  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
530and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
531to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
532publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
533then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
534available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
535patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
536consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
537license to downstream recipients.  ``Knowingly relying'' means you have
538actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
539covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
540in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
541country that you have reason to believe are valid.
542
543  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
544arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
545covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
546receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
547or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
548you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
549work and works based on it.
550
551  A patent license is ``discriminatory'' if it does not include within
552the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
553conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
554specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
555work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
556in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
557to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
558the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
559parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
560patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
561conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
562for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
563contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
564or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
565
566  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
567any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
568otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
569
570\subsubsection*{12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.}
571
572\noindent\indent
573  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
574otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
575excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
576covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
577License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
578may not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that
579obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to
580whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
581terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the
582Program.
583
584\subsubsection*{13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.}
585
586\noindent\indent
587  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
588permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
589under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
590combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
591License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
592but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
593section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
594combination as such.
595
596\subsubsection*{14. Revised Versions of this License.}
597
598\noindent\indent
599  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
600of the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions
601will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in
602detail to address new problems or concerns.
603
604  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
605Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
606Public License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the
607option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
608version or of any later version published by the Free Software
609Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
610GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
611by the Free Software Foundation.
612
613  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
614versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
615public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
616to choose that version for the Program.
617
618  Later license versions may give you additional or different
619permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
620author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
621later version.
622
623\subsubsection*{15. Disclaimer of Warranty.}
624
625\noindent\indent
626  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
627APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
628HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT
629WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
630LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
631PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
632OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
633ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
634
635\subsubsection*{16. Limitation of Liability.}
636
637\noindent\indent
638  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
639WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
640CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
641INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
642ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
643NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
644SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
645WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
646ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
647
648\subsubsection*{17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.}
649
650\noindent\indent
651  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
652above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
653reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
654an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
655Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
656copy of the Program in return for a fee.

662\section*{How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs}
663
664\noindent\indent
665  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
666possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
667free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
668terms.
669
670  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
671to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
672state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
673the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
674
675\begin{verbatim}
676<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
677Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
678
679This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
680it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
681the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
682(at your option) any later version.
683
684This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
685but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
686MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
687GNU General Public License for more details.
688
689You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
690along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
691\end{verbatim}
692
693\noindent
694Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
695
696  If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
697notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
698
699\begin{verbatim}
700<program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
701This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
702This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
703under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
704\end{verbatim}
705
706\noindent
707The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
708appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your
709program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
710use an ``about box''.
711
712  You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
713school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
714necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the
715GNU GPL, see \verb|<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>|.
716
717  The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
718program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine
719library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
720applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the
721GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.  But first,
722please read \verb|<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>|.
