1 | ### GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
2 | |||
3 | Version 3, 29 June 2007 | ||
4 | |||
5 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | ||
6 | <https://fsf.org/> | ||
7 | |||
8 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this | ||
9 | license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
10 | |||
11 | ### Preamble | ||
12 | |||
13 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for | ||
14 | software and other kinds of works. | ||
15 | |||
16 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed | ||
17 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, | ||
18 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom | ||
19 | to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains | ||
20 | free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use | ||
21 | the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies | ||
22 | also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply | ||
23 | it to your programs, too. | ||
24 | |||
25 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
26 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
27 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
28 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you | ||
29 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new | ||
30 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things. | ||
31 | |||
32 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you | ||
33 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you | ||
34 | have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the | ||
35 | software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom | ||
36 | of others. | ||
37 | |||
38 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
39 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same | ||
40 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive | ||
41 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they | ||
42 | know their rights. | ||
43 | |||
44 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: | ||
45 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License | ||
46 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. | ||
47 | |||
48 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains | ||
49 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and | ||
50 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as | ||
51 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to | ||
52 | authors of previous versions. | ||
53 | |||
54 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run | ||
55 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the | ||
56 | manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the | ||
57 | aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The | ||
58 | systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for | ||
59 | individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. | ||
60 | Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the | ||
61 | practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in | ||
62 | other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those | ||
63 | domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the | ||
64 | freedom of users. | ||
65 | |||
66 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. | ||
67 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of | ||
68 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish | ||
69 | to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program | ||
70 | could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL | ||
71 | assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. | ||
72 | |||
73 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
74 | modification follow. | ||
75 | |||
76 | ### TERMS AND CONDITIONS | ||
77 | |||
78 | #### 0. Definitions. | ||
79 | |||
80 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. | ||
81 | |||
82 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds | ||
83 | of works, such as semiconductor masks. | ||
84 | |||
85 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this | ||
86 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and | ||
87 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations. | ||
88 | |||
89 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work | ||
90 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of | ||
91 | an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of | ||
92 | the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work. | ||
93 | |||
94 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based | ||
95 | on the Program. | ||
96 | |||
97 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without | ||
98 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for | ||
99 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a | ||
100 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, | ||
101 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the | ||
102 | public, and in some countries other activities as well. | ||
103 | |||
104 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other | ||
105 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user | ||
106 | through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not | ||
107 | conveying. | ||
108 | |||
109 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to | ||
110 | the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible | ||
111 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) | ||
112 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the | ||
113 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the | ||
114 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If | ||
115 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a | ||
116 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. | ||
117 | |||
118 | #### 1. Source Code. | ||
119 | |||
120 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
121 | making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of | ||
122 | a work. | ||
123 | |||
124 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official | ||
125 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of | ||
126 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that | ||
127 | is widely used among developers working in that language. | ||
128 | |||
129 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other | ||
130 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of | ||
131 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major | ||
132 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that | ||
133 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an | ||
134 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A | ||
135 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component | ||
136 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system | ||
137 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to | ||
138 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. | ||
139 | |||
140 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all | ||
141 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable | ||
142 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to | ||
143 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's | ||
144 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free | ||
145 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but | ||
146 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source | ||
147 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for | ||
148 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically | ||
149 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, | ||
150 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those | ||
151 | subprograms and other parts of the work. | ||
152 | |||
153 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can | ||
154 | regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. | ||
155 | |||
156 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same | ||
157 | work. | ||
158 | |||
159 | #### 2. Basic Permissions. | ||
160 | |||
161 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of | ||
162 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated | ||
163 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited | ||
164 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a | ||
165 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its | ||
166 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your | ||
167 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law. | ||
168 | |||
169 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, | ||
170 | without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. | ||
171 | You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having | ||
172 | them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with | ||
173 | facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the | ||
174 | terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not | ||
175 | control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for | ||
176 | you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and | ||
177 | control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your | ||
178 | copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. | ||
179 | |||
180 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the | ||
181 | conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes | ||
182 | it unnecessary. | ||
183 | |||
184 | #### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. | ||
185 | |||
186 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological | ||
187 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article | ||
188 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or | ||
189 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such | ||
190 | measures. | ||
191 | |||
192 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid | ||
193 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such | ||
194 | circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with | ||
195 | respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit | ||
196 | operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against | ||
197 | the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid | ||
198 | circumvention of technological measures. | ||
199 | |||
200 | #### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. | ||
201 | |||
202 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you | ||
203 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | ||
204 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; | ||
205 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any | ||
206 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; | ||
207 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all | ||
208 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. | ||
209 | |||
210 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, | ||
211 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. | ||
212 | |||
213 | #### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. | ||
214 | |||
215 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to | ||
216 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the | ||
217 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these | ||
218 | conditions: | ||
219 | |||
220 | - a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified | ||
221 | it, and giving a relevant date. | ||
222 | - b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is | ||
223 | released under this License and any conditions added under | ||
224 | section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 | ||
225 | to "keep intact all notices". | ||
226 | - c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this | ||
227 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This | ||
228 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 | ||
229 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, | ||
230 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no | ||
231 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not | ||
232 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. | ||
233 | - d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display | ||
234 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive | ||
235 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your | ||
236 | work need not make them do so. | ||
237 | |||
238 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent | ||
239 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, | ||
240 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, | ||
241 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an | ||
242 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not | ||
243 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users | ||
244 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work | ||
245 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other | ||
246 | parts of the aggregate. | ||
247 | |||
