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