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