7
8 Version 3, 19 November 2007
9
10 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
11 <https://fsf.org/>
12
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/>.
