1 :	tsscds	211	GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 :			Version 3, 29 June 2007
3 :
4 :			Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
5 :			Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6 :			of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
7 :
8 :			Preamble
9 :
10 :			The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
11 :			software and other kinds of works.
12 :
13 :			The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
14 :			to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
15 :			the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
16 :			share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
17 :			software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
18 :			GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
19 :			any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
20 :			your programs, too.
21 :
22 :			When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23 :			price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24 :			have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25 :			them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
26 :			want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
27 :			free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28 :
29 :			To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
30 :			these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
31 :			certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
32 :			you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
33 :
34 :			For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35 :			gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
36 :			freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
37 :			or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
38 :			know their rights.
39 :
40 :			Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
41 :			(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
42 :			giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43 :
44 :			For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
45 :			that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
46 :			authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
47 :			changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
48 :			authors of previous versions.
49 :
50 :			Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
51 :			modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
52 :			can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
53 :			protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
54 :			pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
55 :			use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
56 :			have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
57 :			products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
58 :			stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
59 :			of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
60 :
61 :			Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
62 :			States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
63 :			software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
64 :			avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
65 :			make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
66 :			patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
67 :
68 :			The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
69 :			modification follow.
70 :
71 :			TERMS AND CONDITIONS
72 :
73 :			0. Definitions.
74 :
75 :			"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
76 :
77 :			"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
78 :			works, such as semiconductor masks.
79 :
80 :			"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
81 :			License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
82 :			"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
83 :
84 :			To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
85 :			in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
86 :			exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
87 :			earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
88 :
89 :			A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
90 :			on the Program.
91 :
92 :			To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
93 :			permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
94 :			infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
95 :			computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
96 :			distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
97 :			public, and in some countries other activities as well.
98 :
99 :
100 :
101 :			To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
102 :			parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
103 :			a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
104 :
105 :			An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
106 :			to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
107 :			feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
108 :			tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
109 :			extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
110 :			work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
111 :			the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
112 :			menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
113 :
114 :			1. Source Code.
115 :
116 :			The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
117 :			for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
118 :			form of a work.
119 :
120 :			A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
121 :			standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
122 :			interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
123 :			is widely used among developers working in that language.
124 :
125 :			The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
126 :			than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
127 :			packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
128 :			Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
129 :			Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
130 :			implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
131 :			"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
132 :			(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
133 :			(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
134 :			produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
135 :
136 :			The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
137 :			the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
138 :			work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
139 :			control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
140 :			System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
141 :			programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
142 :			which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
143 :			includes interface definition files associated with source files for
144 :			the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
145 :			linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
146 :			such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
147 :			subprograms and other parts of the work.
148 :
149 :			The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
150 :			can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
151 :			Source.
152 :
153 :			The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
154 :			same work.
155 :
156 :			2. Basic Permissions.
157 :
158 :			All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
159 :			copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
160 :			conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
161 :			permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
162 :			covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
163 :			content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
164 :			rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
165 :
166 :			You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
167 :			convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
168 :			in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
169 :			of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
170 :			with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
171 :			the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
172 :			not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
173 :			for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
174 :			and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
175 :			your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
176 :
177 :			Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
178 :			the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
179 :			makes it unnecessary.
180 :
181 :			3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
182 :
183 :			No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
184 :			measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
185 :			11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
186 :			similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
187 :			measures.
188 :
189 :			When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
190 :			circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
191 :			is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
192 :			the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
193 :			modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
194 :			users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
195 :			technological measures.
196 :
197 :			4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
198 :
199 :			You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
200 :			receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
201 :			appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
202 :			keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
203 :			non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
204 :			keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
205 :			recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
206 :
207 :			You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
208 :			and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
209 :
210 :			5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
211 :
212 :			You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
213 :			produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
214 :			terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
215 :
216 :			a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
217 :			it, and giving a relevant date.
218 :
219 :			b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
220 :			released under this License and any conditions added under section
221 :			7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
222 :			"keep intact all notices".
223 :
224 :			c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
225 :			License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
226 :			License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
227 :			additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
228 :			regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
229 :			permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
230 :			invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
231 :
232 :			d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
233 :			Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
234 :			interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
235 :			work need not make them do so.
236 :
237 :			A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
238 :			works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
239 :			and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
240 :			in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
241 :			"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
242 :			used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
243 :			beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
244 :			in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
245 :			parts of the aggregate.
246 :
247 :			6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
248 :
249 :			You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
250 :			of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
251 :			machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
252 :			in one of these ways:
253 :
254 :			a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
255 :			(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
256 :			Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
257 :			customarily used for software interchange.
258 :
259 :			b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
260 :			(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
261 :			written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
262 :			long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
263 :			model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
264 :			copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
265 :			product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
266 :			medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
267 :			more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
268 :			conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
269 :			Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
270 :
271 :			c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
272 :			written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
273 :			alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
274 :			only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
275 :			with subsection 6b.
276 :
277 :			d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
278 :			place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
279 :			Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
280 :			further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
281 :			Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
282 :			copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
283 :			may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
284 :			that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
285 :			clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
286 :			Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
287 :			Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
288 :			available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
289 :
290 :			e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
291 :			you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
292 :			Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
293 :			charge under subsection 6d.
294 :
295 :			A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
296 :			from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
297 :			included in conveying the object code work.
298 :
299 :			A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
300 :			tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
301 :			or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
302 :			into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
303 :			doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
304 :			product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
305 :			typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
306 :			of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
307 :			actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
308 :			is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
309 :			commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
310 :			the only significant mode of use of the product.
311 :
312 :			"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
313 :			procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
314 :			and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
315 :			a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
316 :			suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
317 :			code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
318 :			modification has been made.
319 :
320 :			If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
321 :			specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
322 :			part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
323 :			User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
324 :			fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
325 :			Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
326 :			by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
327 :			if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
328 :			modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
329 :			been installed in ROM).
330 :
331 :			The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
332 :			requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
333 :			for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
334 :			the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
335 :			network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
336 :			adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
337 :			protocols for communication across the network.
338 :
339 :			Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
340 :			in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
341 :			documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
342 :			source code form), and must require no special password or key for
343 :			unpacking, reading or copying.
344 :
345 :			7. Additional Terms.
346 :
347 :			"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
348 :			License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
349 :			Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
350 :			be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
351 :			that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
352 :			apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
353 :			under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
354 :			this License without regard to the additional permissions.
355 :
356 :			When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
357 :			remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
358 :			it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
359 :			removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
360 :			additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
361 :			for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
362 :
363 :			Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
364 :			add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
365 :			that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
366 :
367 :			a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
368 :			terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
369 :
370 :			b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
371 :			author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
372 :			Notices displayed by works containing it; or
373 :
374 :			c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
375 :			requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
376 :			reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
377 :
378 :			d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
379 :			authors of the material; or
380 :
381 :			e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
382 :			trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
383 :
384 :			f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
385 :			material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
386 :			it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
387 :			any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
388 :			those licensors and authors.
389 :
390 :			All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
391 :			restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
392 :			received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
393 :			governed by this License along with a term that is a further
394 :			restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
395 :			a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
396 :			License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
397 :			of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
398 :			not survive such relicensing or conveying.
399 :
400 :			If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
401 :			must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
402 :			additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
403 :			where to find the applicable terms.
404 :
405 :			Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
406 :			form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
407 :			the above requirements apply either way.
408 :
409 :			8. Termination.
410 :
411 :			You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
412 :			provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
413 :			modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
414 :			this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
415 :			paragraph of section 11).
416 :
417 :			However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
418 :			license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
419 :			provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
420 :			finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
421 :			holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
422 :			prior to 60 days after the cessation.
423 :
424 :			Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
425 :			reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
426 :			violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
427 :			received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
428 :			copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
429 :			your receipt of the notice.
430 :
431 :			Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
432 :			licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
433 :			this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
434 :			reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
435 :			material under section 10.
436 :
437 :			9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
438 :
439 :			You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
440 :			run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
441 :			occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
442 :			to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
443 :			nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
444 :			modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
445 :			not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
446 :			covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
447 :
448 :			10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
449 :
450 :			Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
451 :			receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
452 :			propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
453 :			for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
454 :
455 :			An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
456 :			organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
457 :			organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
458 :			work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
459 :			transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
460 :			licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
461 :			give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
462 :			Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
463 :			the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
464 :
465 :			You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
466 :			rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
467 :			not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
468 :			rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
469 :			(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
470 :			any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
471 :			sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
472 :
473 :			11. Patents.
474 :
475 :			A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
476 :			License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
477 :			work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
478 :
479 :			A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
480 :			owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
481 :			hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
482 :			by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
483 :			but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
484 :			consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
485 :			purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
486 :			patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
487 :			this License.
488 :
489 :			Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
490 :			patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
491 :			make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
492 :			propagate the contents of its contributor version.
493 :
494 :			In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
495 :			agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
496 :			(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
497 :			sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
498 :			party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
499 :			patent against the party.
500 :
501 :			If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
502 :			and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
503 :			to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
504 :			publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
505 :			then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
506 :			available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
507 :			patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
508 :			consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
509 :			license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
510 :			actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
511 :			covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
512 :			in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
513 :			country that you have reason to believe are valid.
514 :
515 :			If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
516 :			arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
517 :			covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
518 :			receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
519 :			or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
520 :			you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
521 :			work and works based on it.
522 :
523 :			A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
524 :			the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
525 :			conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
526 :			specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
527 :			work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
528 :			in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
529 :			to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
530 :			the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
531 :			parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
532 :			patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
533 :			conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
534 :			for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
535 :			contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
536 :			or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
537 :
538 :			Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
539 :			any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
540 :			otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
541 :
542 :			12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
543 :
544 :			If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
545 :			otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
546 :			excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
547 :			covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
548 :			License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
549 :			not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
550 :			to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
551 :			the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
552 :			License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
553 :
554 :			13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
555 :
556 :			Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
557 :			permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
558 :			under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
559 :			combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
560 :			License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
561 :			but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
562 :			section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
563 :			combination as such.
564 :
565 :			14. Revised Versions of this License.
566 :
567 :			The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
568 :			the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
569 :			be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
570 :			address new problems or concerns.
571 :
572 :			Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
573 :			Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
574 :			Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
575 :			option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
576 :			version or of any later version published by the Free Software
577 :			Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
578 :			GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
579 :			by the Free Software Foundation.
580 :
581 :			If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
582 :			versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
583 :			public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
584 :			to choose that version for the Program.
585 :
586 :			Later license versions may give you additional or different
587 :			permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
588 :			author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
589 :			later version.
590 :
591 :			15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
592 :
593 :			THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
594 :			APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
595 :			HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
596 :			OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
597 :			THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
598 :			PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
599 :			IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
600 :			ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
601 :
602 :			16. Limitation of Liability.
603 :
604 :			IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
605 :			WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
606 :			THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
607 :			GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
608 :			USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
609 :			DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
610 :			PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
611 :			EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
612 :			SUCH DAMAGES.
613 :
614 :			17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
615 :
616 :			If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
617 :			above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
618 :			reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
619 :			an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
620 :			Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
621 :			copy of the Program in return for a fee.
622 :
623 :			END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
624 :
625 :			How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
626 :
627 :			If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
628 :			possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
629 :			free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
630 :
631 :			To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
632 :			to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
633 :			state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
634 :			the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
635 :
636 :			<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
637 :			Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
638 :
639 :			This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
640 :			it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
641 :			the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
642 :			(at your option) any later version.
643 :
644 :			This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
645 :			but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
646 :			MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
647 :			GNU General Public License for more details.
648 :
649 :			You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
650 :			along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
651 :
652 :			Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
653 :
654 :			If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
655 :			notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
656 :
657 :			<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
658 :			This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
659 :			This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
660 :			under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
661 :
662 :			The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
663 :			parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
664 :			might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
665 :
666 :			You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
667 :			if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
668 :			For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
669 :			<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
670 :
671 :			The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
672 :			into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
673 :			may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
674 :			the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
675 :			Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
676 :			<http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
