7Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
8document, but changing it is not allowed.
9
10## Preamble
11
12The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other
13kinds of works.
14
15The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away
16your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public
17License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a
18program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free
19Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
20applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
21your programs, too.
22
23When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
24Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute
25copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source
26code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of
27it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28
29To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these rights or
30asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if
31you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to
32respect the freedom of others.
33
34For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee,
35you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make
36sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
37terms so they know their rights.
38
39Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: **(1)** assert
40copyright on the software, and **(2)** offer you this License giving you legal permission
41to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
42
43For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is
44no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL
45requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not
46be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions.
47
48Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of
49the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally
50incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The
51systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
52use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed
53this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such problems
54arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to
55those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of
56users.
57
58Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should
59not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose
60computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents
61applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the
62GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
63
64The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
65
66## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
67
68### 0. Definitions
69
70“This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
71
72“Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
73works, such as semiconductor masks.
74
75“The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
76License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and
77“recipients” may be individuals or organizations.
78
79To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in
80a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The
81resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a
82work “based on” the earlier work.
83
84A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on
85the Program.
86
87To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without
88permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under
89applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private
90copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
91making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
92
93To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
94parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer
95network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
96
97An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the
98extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that **(1)**
99displays an appropriate copyright notice, and **(2)** tells the user that there is no
100warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that
101licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
102License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
103menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
104
105### 1. Source Code
106
107The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for
108making modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a
109work.
110
111A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official
112standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces
113specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among
114developers working in that language.
115
116The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than
117the work as a whole, that **(a)** is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
118Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and **(b)** serves only to
119enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
120Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form.
121A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component
122(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which
123the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
124interpreter used to run it.
125
126The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the
127source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
128code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However,
129it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or
130generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those
131activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
132includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and
133the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work
134is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or
135control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.
136
137The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
138automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
139
140The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
141
142### 2. Basic Permissions
143
144All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the
145Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License
146explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The
147output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output,
148given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights
149of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
150
151You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
152conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered
153works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively
154for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you
155comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
156control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so
157exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit
158them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship
159with you.
160
161Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions
162stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
163
164### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law
165
166No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any
167applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty
168adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention
169of such measures.
170
171When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of
172technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising
173rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any
174intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing,
175against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention
176of technological measures.
177
178### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies
179
180You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any
181medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
182appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and
183any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep
184intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of
185this License along with the Program.
186
187You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer
188support or warranty protection for a fee.
189
190### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions
191
192You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from
193the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that
194you also meet all of these conditions:
195
196* **a)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a
197relevant date.
198* **b)** The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this
199License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the
200requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”.
201* **c)** You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who
202comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any
203applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
204regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the
205work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
206separately received it.
207* **d)** If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal
208Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display
209Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.
210
211A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are
212not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with
213it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution
214medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting
215copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
216beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate
217does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
218
219### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms
220
221You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and
2225, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the
223terms of this License, in one of these ways:
224
225* **a)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
226physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a
227durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
228* **b)** Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
229physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least
230three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for
231that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either **(1)** a copy of
232the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this
233License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for
234a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of
235source, or **(2)** access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
236charge.
237* **c)** Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to
238provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and
239noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in
240accord with subsection 6b.
241* **d)** Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for
242a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way
243through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy
244the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object
245code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server
246(operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities,
247provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find
248the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source,
249you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy
250these requirements.
251* **e)** Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform
252other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being
253offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
254
255A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the
256Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the
257object code work.
258
259A “User Product” is either **(1)** a “consumer product”, which
260means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or
261household purposes, or **(2)** anything designed or sold for incorporation into a
262dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases
263shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a
264particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of
265that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
266in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the
267product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has
268substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
269the only significant mode of use of the product.
270
271“Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods,
272procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute
273modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of
274its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
275functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
276solely because modification has been made.
277
278If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for
279use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which
280the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient
281in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
282characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be
283accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if
284neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code
285on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
286
287The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to
288continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been
289modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
290modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself
291materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules
292and protocols for communication across the network.
293
294Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with
295this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an
296implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no
297special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
298
299### 7. Additional Terms
300
301“Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this
302License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional
303permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they
304were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
305law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be
306used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
307this License without regard to the additional permissions.
308
309When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
310additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
311permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you
312modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a
313covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
314
315Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
316covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
317supplement the terms of this License with terms:
318
319* **a)** Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
320sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
321* **b)** Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
322attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works
323containing it; or
324* **c)** Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that
325modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the
326original version; or
327* **d)** Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the
328material; or
329* **e)** Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names,
330trademarks, or service marks; or
331* **f)** Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone
332who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of
333liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions
334directly impose on those licensors and authors.
335
336All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further
337restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received
338it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License
339along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a
340license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
341under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of
342that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
343relicensing or conveying.
344
345If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in
346the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those
347files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
348
349Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
350separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply
351either way.
352
353### 8. Termination
354
355You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under
356this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will
357automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses
358granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
359
360However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a
361particular copyright holder is reinstated **(a)** provisionally, unless and until the
362copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and **(b)** permanently,
363if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
364prior to 60 days after the cessation.
365
366Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently
367if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this
368is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any
369work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
370your receipt of the notice.
371
372Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of
373parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your
374rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to
375receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
376
377### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies
378
379You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the
380Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of
381using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
382acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to
383propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not
384accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you
385indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
386
387### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients
388
389Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license
390from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this
391License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
392License.
393
394An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an
395organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or
396merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity
397transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also
398receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
399could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
400Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor
401has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
402
403You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or
404affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty,
405or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
406initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging
407that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or
408importing the Program or any portion of it.
409
410### 11. Patents
411
412A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
413License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus
414licensed is called the contributor's “contributor version”.
415
416A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or
417controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that
418would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or
419selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed
420only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
421purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent
422sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
423
424Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license
425under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale,
426import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
427version.
428
429In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express
430agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an
431express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent
432infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make
433such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
434
435If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
436Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge
437and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or
438other readily accessible means, then you must either **(1)** cause the Corresponding
439Source to be so available, or **(2)** arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
440patent license for this particular work, or **(3)** arrange, in a manner consistent with
441the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
442recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but
443for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your
444recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more
445identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
446
447If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
448convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent
449license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use,
450propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent
451license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and
452works based on it.
453
454A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the
455scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the
456non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this
457License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with
458a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make
459payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
460work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive
461the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license **(a)** in connection with
462copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or **(b)**
463primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain
464the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license
465was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
466
467Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
468license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you
469under applicable patent law.
470
471### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom
472
473If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
474that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
475conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy
476simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
477obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you
478agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from
479those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms
480and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
481
482### 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License
483
484Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or
485combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero
486General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work.
487The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered
488work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section
48913, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.
490
491### 14. Revised Versions of this License
492
493The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU
494General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit
495to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
496
497Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that
498a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later
499version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
500conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the
501Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU
502General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
503Software Foundation.
504
505If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU
506General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a
507version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
508
509Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no
510additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of
511your choosing to follow a later version.
512
513### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty
514
515THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
516EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
517PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
518EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
519MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
520QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
521DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
522
523### 16. Limitation of Liability
524
525IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
526COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS
527PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
528INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
529PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE
530OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
531WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
532POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
533
534### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16
535
536If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be
537given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local
538law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
539connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies
540a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

544## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
545
546If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to
547the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone
548can redistribute and change under these terms.
549
550To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them
551to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty;
552and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to
553where the full notice is found.
554
555    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
556    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
557
558    This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
559    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
560    the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
561    (at your option) any later version.
562
563    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
564    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
565    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
566    GNU General Public License for more details.
567
568    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
569    along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
570
571Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
572
573If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this
574when it starts in an interactive mode:
575
576    <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
577    This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.
578    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
579    under certain conditions; type 'show c' for details.
580
581The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the appropriate parts of
582the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be different;
583for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”.
584
585You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to
586sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more
587information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
588&lt;<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>&gt;.
589
590The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
591proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it
592more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is
593what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this
594License. But first, please read
595&lt;<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>&gt;.
