Important Notice Concerning the Software
Thus, it is not the in tent of this section to claim rights or contest y our rights to work
written entirely b y you; rather , the in tent is to exer cise the right to contr ol the distribution
of derivative or c ollective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggrega tion of another work not based on the Program with the
Program ( or with a work based on the Program) on a v olume of a storage or distribution
medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License .
3. Y ou may copy and distribut e the Program (or a w ork based on it, under Section 2) in
object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above pr ovided that
you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the c omplete corresponding machine-readable sourc e code,
which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software int erchange; or ,
b) Accompany it with a writt en offer , valid for at least thr ee years, to giv e any
third party, for a char ge no more than your cost of ph ysically per forming source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corr esponding source code , to
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
used for software inter change; or ,
c) Accompany it with the informa tion you receiv ed as to the offer to distribute
corresponding sour ce code. (This alternativ e is allowed only for noncommer cial
distribution and only if you rec eived the program in object code or ex ecutable form
with such an offer , in accor d with Subsection b above.)
The sourc e code for a work means the preferr ed form of the work for making
modifications to it. F or an executable w ork, complete source code means all the sour ce
code for all modules it contains, plus an y associated interface definition files, plus the
scripts used to contr ol compilation and installation of the ex ecutable. However , as a
special exception, the sour ce code distributed need not include anything tha t is normally
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler ,
kernel, and so on) of the oper ating system on which the executable runs , unless that
component itself accompanies the e xecutable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access t o copy from a
designated place , then offering equivalent access to cop y the source code from the
same place counts as distribution of the sour ce code, even though thir d par ties are not
compelled to copy the sour ce along with the object code.
4. Y ou may not copy , modify , sublicense , or distribute the Program e xcept as expr essly
provided under this License . Any attempt otherwise to copy , modify , sublicense or
distribute the Progr am is void, and will automa tically terminate your rights under this
License.
Howev er , parties who have received c opies, or rights, fr om you under this License will not
have their licenses t erminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. Y ou are not r equired to accept this License , since you hav e not signed it. Howev er ,
nothing else grants you permission t o modify or distribute the Program or its deriva tive
works. These actions are pr ohibited by law if y ou do not accept this License. Ther efore, by
modifying or distributing the Program ( or any work based on the Pr ogram), you indicate
your acceptance of this Lic ense to do so , and all its terms and conditions for copying ,
distributing or modifying the Program or w orks based on it.
6. Each time you redistribut e the Program (or an y work based on the Program), the
recipient automa tically receives a license fr om the original licensor to copy , distribut e
or modify the Program subject to these terms and c onditions. Y ou may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients’ e xercise of the rights gr anted herein.
Y ou are not r esponsible for enforcing compliance by thir d parties to this License.
7. If , as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for
any other reason (not limited t o patent issues), conditions ar e imposed on you (whether
by court order , agreemen t or other wise) that contr adict the conditions of this License,
they do not excuse y ou from the conditions of this License. If y ou cannot distribute so
as to satisfy simultaneously your obliga tions under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequenc e you may not distribute the Pr ogram at all. F or
example, if a pat ent license would not permit ro yalty-free redistribution of the Pr ogram
by all those who receiv e copies directly or indirectly through you , then the only way you
could satisfy both it and this License w ould be to refrain entir ely from distribution of the
Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balanc e of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole
is intended to apply in other cir cumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any pa tents or other property
right claims or to cont est validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free softwar e distribution system, which is implemented
by public license practices. Man y people have made generous con tributions to the wide
range of software distributed thr ough that system in relianc e on consistent application
of that system; it is up to the author/donor t o decide if he or she is willing to distribute
software through an y other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to mak e thoroughly clear what is believed t o be a consequence of
the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is r estricted in certain countries either
by patents or b y copyrighted int er faces, the original c opyright holder who places the
Program under this Lic ense may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those coun tries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
not thus excluded . In such case, this License incorporat es the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.
9. The Free Softwar e Foundation may publish r evised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from time t o time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the pr esent
version, but may differ in detail to addr ess new problems or concerns .
Each version is given a distinguishing v ersion number . If the Program specifies a v ersion
number of this License which applies to it and “ any la ter version ” , you hav e the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that v ersion or of any later v ersion published
by the Fr ee Software Foundation. If the Pr ogram does not specify a version number of this
License, you ma y choose any version ever published b y the Free Software F oundation.
10. If you wish to incorpor ate parts of the Program into other fr ee programs whose
distribution conditions are differ ent, write to the author to ask for permission. F or
software which is copyrigh ted by the Free Softwar e Foundation, writ e to the Free
Software Founda tion; we sometimes make ex ceptions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all deriva tives of our free
software and of promoting the sharing and r euse of software generally .
NO W ARRANT Y
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED
IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS”
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND C ONDITIONS
How to Apply These T erms t o Y our New Pr ograms
If you develop a new pr ogram, and you want it t o be of the greatest possible use to
the public, the best way t o achieve this is to make it fr ee software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms .
T o do so , attach the following notices t o the program. It is safest to attach them t o the
start of each source file to most effectively convey the e xclusion of warranty; and each file
should have a t least the “ cop yright” line and a pointer t o where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the pr ogram’ s name and a brief idea of what it does.>
