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