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