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