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