Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this
|
7
|
license document, but changing it is not allowed.

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

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

|
|
592
|
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
593
|
|
594
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
595
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
|
596
|
software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
597
|
|
598
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
|
599
|
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the
|
600
|
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright"
|
601
|
line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
602
|
|
603
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
|
604
|
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
|
605
|
|
606
|
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
607
|
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
|
608
|

|
609
|
License, or (at your option) any later version.
|
610
|
|
611
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
612
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
613
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|
614
|
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
|
615
|
|
616
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
|
617
|
along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
618
|
|
619
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
620
|
|
621
|
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
|
622
|
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to get
|
623
|
its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
|
624
|
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of
|
625
|
the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
|
626
|
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
|
627
|
specific requirements.
|
628
|
|
629
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
|
630
|
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For
|
631
|
more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see <
