GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSEVersion 3, 29 June 2007

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. < h t t p: / / f s f.org / >

Everyone is pe r mit ted to copy and dis t ribu te verbatim copies of t his license docu ment, bu t changing it is no t allowed.

PreambleThe GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for sof tware an d o ther kinds of works.

The licenses for m os t sof tware an d other p ractical works are designed to take away your freedo m to s hare and change the works. By contras t, t he GNU General Public License is intended to guaran tee your freedo m to s hare an d change all versions of a p rogra m - - to m ake s u re it re mains free sof tware for all its u sers. We, t he Free Software Founda tion, u se t he GNU General Public License for m os t of our sof tware; it applies also to any o ther work released this way by its au thors. You can ap ply it to your p rogra ms, too.

When we s peak of free sof tware, we are referring to freedo m, no t p rice. Our General Public Licenses are designed to m ake s ure t ha t you have the freedo m to dis t ribute copies of free sof tware (and charge for t he m if you wish), t ha t you receive source code or can get it if you want it, t ha t you can change the sof tware or u se pieces of it in new free p rogra ms, and tha t you know you can do these t hings.

To p ro tect your right s, we need to p revent o thers from denying you these right s or asking you to su r ren der t he right s. Therefore, you have cer tain res ponsibilities if you dis t ribu te copies of t he sof tware, or if you m o dify it: res ponsibilities to res pect t he freedo m of o thers.

For exam ple, if you dis t ribu te copies of such a p rogra m, whether gra tis or for a fee, you m u s t pa ss on to t he recipients t he sa me freedo m s tha t you received. You m u s t m ake su re t ha t t hey, too, receive or can get t he source code. And you m u s t show the m these ter ms so t hey know their right s.

Developers t ha t u se t he GNU GPL protect your right s with two s teps: (1) asser t copyright on the sof tware, an d (2) offer you this License giving you legal per mission to copy, dis t ribu te and / o r m o dify it.

For t he developers ' an d aut hors' p ro tection, t he GPL clearly explains t ha t t here is no warran ty for t his free sof tware. For bo th users ' an d au thors' sake, t he GPL requires t ha t m o dified versions be m arked as changed, so t ha t t heir p roblems will no t be a t t ribu ted er roneously to aut hors of p revious versions.

Some devices are designed to deny u sers access to ins tall or run m o dified versions of t he sof tware inside t he m, although the m a n ufacturer can do so. This is fun da me ntally incom patible with t he aim of p ro tecting u sers ' freedo m to change the sof tware. The syste matic pa t tern of such abuse occurs in t he area of p rod uct s for individuals to u se, which is p recisely where it is m os t u nacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of t he GPL to p rohibit t he p ractice for those p rod uc ts. If s uch p roblems arise subs tan tially in o ther do mains, we s tan d ready to extend this p rovision to t hose do mains in fu tu re versions of t he GPL, as needed to p ro tect t he freedo m of u sers.

Finally, every p rogra m is t h rea tened cons tan tly by software pa ten t s. States should no t allow pa ten t s to res t rict develop ment an d use of sof tware on general - p ur pose com p uter s, bu t in t hose t ha t do, we wish to avoid t he s pecial danger t ha t pa ten t s ap plied to a free p rogra m could m ake it effectively p ro prietary. To p revent t his, t he GPL assures t ha t

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Definitions.� This License� refers to version 3 of t he GNU General Public License.

� Copyright� also mea ns copyright - like laws tha t ap ply to o ther kinds of works, s uch as se micond uctor m a sks.

� The Progra m� refers to any copyrightable work licensed u n der t his License. Each licensee is ad dressed as � you� . � Licensees� an d � recipients� m ay be individuals or organiza tions.

To � modify� a work means to copy fro m or adap t all or pa r t of t he work in a fashion requiring copyright pe r mission, o ther t han the m aking of an exact copy. The resul ting work is called a � modified version� of t he earlier work or a work � based on� t he earlier work.

A � covered work� means either t he u n m o dified Progra m or a work based on the Progra m.

To � propagate� a work means to do anything with it t ha t, withou t per mission, would m ake you directly or secon darily liable for infringement u n der applicable copyright law, excep t executing it on a com p u ter or m o difying a p rivate copy. Propagation includes copying, dis t ribution (with or withou t m o dification), m aking available to t he p ublic, an d in so me coun t ries o ther ac tivities as well.

To � convey� a work means any kind of p ro pagation tha t enables o ther pa r ties to m ake or receive copies. Mere interaction with a u ser t h rough a com p u ter ne twork, with no t ransfer of a copy, is no t conveying.

An interactive u ser interface displays � Appropria te Legal Notices� to t he extent t ha t it includes a convenient and p ro minen tly visible featu re t ha t (1) displays an ap propriate copyright no tice, an d (2) tells t he u ser t ha t t here is no warran ty for t he work (except to t he exten t t ha t warran ties are p rovided), t ha t licensees m ay convey the work un der t his License, an d how to view a copy of t his License. If t he interface p resen t s a lis t of user com ma n ds or op tions, s uch as a me n u, a p ro minent item in t he lis t m eets t his criterion.

1. Source Code.The � source code� for a work m eans t he p referred for m of t he work for m aking m o difications to it. � Object code� means any non - source for m of a work.

A � Standard Interface� m eans an interface t ha t either is an official s tan dard defined by a recognized s tandards body, or, in t he case of interfaces s pecified for a pa r ticular p rogra m ming language, one tha t is widely used a mong developers working in t ha t language.

The � System Libraries� of an executable work include anything, o ther t han the work as a whole, t ha t (a) is included in t he nor mal for m of packaging a Major Com ponen t, bu t which is no t pa r t of t ha t Major Com ponen t, and (b) serves only to enable u se of t he work with t ha t Major Com ponen t, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementa tion is available to t he p ublic in source code for m. A � Major Com ponen t� , in t his context, means a m ajor essen tial com ponen t (kernel, window sys te m, an d so on) of t he s pecific opera ting syste m (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a com piler u sed to p ro duce the work, or an object code interpre ter u sed to run it.

The � Correspon ding Source� for a work in object code for m means all the source code needed to genera te, ins tall, an d (for an executable work) run the object code and to m o dify t he work, including scrip t s to con trol t hose activities. However, it does no t include the

work's Syste m Libraries, or general - p u r pose tools or generally available free p rogra ms which are use d u n mo dified in perfor ming those activities bu t which are no t pa r t of t he work. For exam ple, Correspon ding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for t he work, and the source code for shared libraries an d dyna mically linked sub progra m s tha t t he work is s pecifically designed to require, such as by intimate da ta com m u nication or con trol flow between those sub progra ms and o ther pa r t s of t he work.

The Corres pon ding Source need not include anything tha t u ser s can regenera te au to matically from other pa r t s of t he Correspon ding Source.

The Corres pon ding Source for a work in source code for m is t ha t sa me work.

2. Basic Permissions.All right s gran ted u n der t his License are gran ted for t he ter m of copyright on the Progra m, and are irrevocable p rovided the s ta ted conditions are m et. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited per mission to r un the un m o dified Progra m. The ou t pu t fro m running a covered work is covered by this License only if t he ou t pu t, given its conten t, cons ti tu tes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair u se or o ther equivalent, as p rovided by copyright law.

You m ay m ake, run and p ropagate covered works t ha t you do not convey, withou t conditions so long as your license o therwise re mains in force. You m ay convey covered works to o thers for t he sole p ur pose of having the m m ake m o difications exclusively for you, or p rovide you with facilities for running those works, p rovided tha t you com ply with t he ter ms of t his License in conveying all m a terial for which you do no t control copyright. Those t hus m aking or run ning the covered works for you m u s t do so exclusively on your behalf, u n der your direction and cont rol, on ter ms tha t p rohibit t he m fro m m aking any copies of your copyrighted m a terial ou tside t heir relationship with you.

Conveying u n der any o ther circu m s tances is per mit ted solely u n der t he conditions s ta ted below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 m akes it u n necessary.

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti­Circumvention Law.No covered work s hall be dee me d par t of an effective technological measure u n der any ap plicable law fulfilling obligations u n der ar ticle 11 of t he WIPO copyright t rea ty adop ted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws p rohibiting or res t ricting circu mvention of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circu mven tion of technological meas ures to t he extent such circu mven tion is effected by exercising rights u n der t his License with res pect to t he covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit opera tion or m o dification of t he work as a means of enforcing, against t he work's users, your or t hird par ties ' legal right s to forbid circu mven tion of technological m eas ures.

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.You m ay convey verbatim copies of t he Progra m's source code as you receive it, in any me diu m, p rovided tha t you cons picuously an d ap propriately p ublish on each copy an ap propriate copyright no tice; keep intact all no tices s ta ting tha t t his License and any non -per missive ter ms ad ded in accord with section 7 apply to t he code; keep intact all notices of t he absence of any warran ty; and give all recipient s a copy of t his License along with t he Progra m.

You m ay charge any p rice or no p rice for each copy tha t you convey, an d you m ay offer su p por t or warran ty p ro tection for a fee.

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.You m ay convey a work based on the Progra m, or t he m o difications to p rod uce it fro m the Progra m, in t he for m of source code u n der t he ter m s of section 4, p rovided tha t you also meet all of t hese conditions:

• a) The work m u s t carry p ro minen t no tices s ta ting tha t you m o dified it, and giving a relevant da te.

• b) The work m u s t carry p ro minen t no tices s ta ting tha t it is released u n der t his License an d any conditions ad ded u n der section 7. This require ment m o difies t he requirement in section 4 to � keep intact all no tices� .

• c) You m u s t license t he entire work, as a whole, u n der t his License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will t herefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 ad ditional te r ms, to t he whole of t he work, and all its pa r t s, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no per mission to license t he work in any o ther way, bu t it does not invalida te s uch per mission if you have separa tely received it.

• d) If t he work has interactive user interfaces, each m u s t display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if t he Progra m has interactive interfaces t ha t do no t display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need no t m ake the m do so.

A com pilation of a covered work with o ther separa te an d indepen den t works, which are not by their na tu re extensions of t he covered work, an d which are no t combined with it s uch as to for m a larger p rogra m, in or on a volu me of a s torage or dis t ribu tion me diu m, is called an � aggregate� if t he com pilation and its resul ting copyright are no t u sed to limit t he access or legal right s of t he com pilation's user s beyond what t he individual works per mit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause t his License to ap ply to t he o ther pa r t s of t he aggregate.

6. Conveying Non­Source Forms.You m ay convey a covered work in object code for m u n der t he ter ms of sections 4 and 5, p rovided tha t you also convey the m achine - readable Corres pon ding Source u n der t he ter ms of t his License, in one of t hese ways:

• a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a p hysical p ro duct (including a p hysical dis tribu tion m e diu m), accom pa nied by the Correspon ding Source fixed on a d urable p hysical m e diu m custo marily u sed for software interchange.

• b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a p hysical p roduct (including a p hysical dis tribu tion m e diu m), accom pa nied by a writ ten offer, valid for a t leas t t h ree years an d valid for as long as you offer s pare par t s or cus to mer s u p por t for t ha t p ro duct m o del, to give anyone who possesses t he object code either (1) a copy of t he Correspon ding Source for all t he sof tware in t he p ro duct t ha t is covered by this License, on a d urable p hysical m e diu m cus to marily u sed for sof tware interchange, for a p rice no m ore t han your reasonable cost of p hysically perfor ming this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Correspon ding Source from a ne twork server at no charge.

• c) Convey individual copies of t he object code with a copy of t he writ ten offer to p rovide t he Correspon ding Source. This alterna tive is allowed only occasionally an d nonco m mercially, an d only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.

• d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to t he Corres pon ding Source in t he sa me way th rough the sa me place a t no fur ther charge. You need no t require recipient s to copy the Corres pon ding Source along with t he object code. If t he place to copy the object code is a ne twork server, t he Correspon ding Source m ay be on a different server (opera ted by you or a t hird par ty) t ha t su p por t s equivalent copying facilities,

p rovided you m ain tain clear directions next to t he object code saying where to find the Corres pon ding Source. Regardless of wha t server hos t s t he Correspon ding Source, you re main obligated to ensure t ha t it is available for as long as needed to sa tisfy t hese require ments.

• e) Convey the object code u sing peer - to - peer t rans mission, p rovided you infor m other peers where t he object code an d Correspon ding Source of t he work are being offered to t he general p ublic at no charge u n der s ubsection 6d.

A separable por tion of t he object code, whose source code is excluded fro m the Correspon ding Source as a System Library, need no t be included in conveying the object code work.

A � User Product� is either (1) a � consu mer p ro duct� , which means any tangible personal p roper ty which is nor mally u sed for pe rsonal, family, or household p ur poses, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorpora tion into a dwelling. In deter mining whether a p rod uct is a consu mer p ro duct, doub tful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a pa r ticular p rod uc t received by a par ticular u ser, � nor mally u sed� refers to a typical or com mo n use of t ha t class of p ro duct, regardless of t he s ta tus of t he par ticular u ser or of t he way in which the par ticular u ser actually u ses, or expects or is expected to u se, t he p rod uct. A p ro duct is a consu mer p rod uct regardless of whether t he p rod uct has subs tan tial com mercial, indus t rial or non - consu mer uses, u nless such uses represent t he only significant m o de of u se of t he p rod uct.

� Ins talla tion Infor mation� for a User Product means any me tho ds, p rocedures, au t horiza tion keys, or o ther infor mation required to ins tall an d execute m o dified versions of a covered work in t ha t User Product fro m a m o dified version of its Correspon ding Source. The infor mation m u s t s uffice to ensure t ha t t he continued functioning of t he m o dified object code is in no case p revented or interfered with solely because m o dification has been m a de.

If you convey an object code work u n der t his sec tion in, or with, or s pecifically for u se in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as pa r t of a t ransaction in which the right of possession an d u se of t he User Product is t ransferred to t he recipient in perpe tui ty or for a fixed ter m (regardless of how the t ransaction is characterized), t he Corres pon ding Source conveyed u n der t his section m u s t be acco m pa nied by the Ins talla tion Infor mation. But t his require ment does no t ap ply if nei ther you nor any third par ty re tains t he ability to ins tall m o dified object code on the User Product (for exa m ple, t he work has been ins talled in ROM).

The requirement to p rovide Ins talla tion Infor mation does no t include a require ment to continue to p rovide s u p por t service, warranty, or u p da tes for a work tha t has been m o dified or ins talled by the recipient, or for t he User Product in which it has been m o dified or ins talled. Access to a ne twork m ay be denied when the m o dification itself m a terially an d adversely affects t he opera tion of t he network or violates t he rules and p ro tocols for com m u nication across t he network.

Correspon ding Source conveyed, an d Ins tallation Infor mation p rovided, in accord with t his section m us t be in a for mat t ha t is p ublicly docu mented (and with an implementa tion available to t he p ublic in source code for m), an d m u s t require no s pecial pa ssword or key for u n packing, reading or copying.

7. Additional Terms.� Additional per missions� a re ter m s tha t su p ple ment t he ter ms of t his License by m aking excep tions fro m one or m ore of its conditions. Additional per missions t ha t a re ap plicable to t he entire Progra m s hall be t rea ted as t hough they were included in t his License, to t he exten t t ha t t hey are valid un der applicable law. If ad ditional pe r missions ap ply only to par t of t he Progra m, t ha t pa r t m ay be u sed separa tely u n der t hose per missions, bu t t he en tire Progra m re mains governed by this License withou t regard to t he ad ditional pe r missions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you m ay a t your op tion re move any ad di tional pe r missions from that copy, or fro m any par t of it. (Additional per missions m ay be writ ten to require t heir own re moval in cer tain cases when you m o dify t he work.) You m ay place ad ditional per missions on m a terial, ad ded by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give app ropria te copyright pe r mission.

Notwiths tanding any other p rovision of t his License, for m a terial you add to a covered work, you m ay (if au t horized by the copyright holders of t ha t m a terial) su p plement t he ter ms of t his License with ter m s:

• a) Disclaiming warran ty or limiting liability differen tly fro m the ter ms of sections 15 an d 16 of t his License; or

• b) Requiring p reservation of s pecified reasonable legal no tices or au thor a t t ributions in t ha t m a terial or in t he Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; o r

• c) Prohibiting misrepresen ta tion of t he origin of t ha t m a terial, or requiring tha t m o dified versions of such m a terial be m arked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or

• d) Limiting the use for p ublicity p ur poses of na mes of licensors or au t hors of t he m a terial; or

• e) Declining to gran t right s u n der t rade mark law for u se of so me t rade na mes, t rade marks, or service m arks; or

• f) Requiring inde m nification of licensors an d au thors of t ha t m a terial by anyone who conveys t he m a terial (or m o dified versions of it) with contractual assu m p tions of liability to t he recipient, for any liability t ha t t hese con tractual assu m p tions directly impose on those licensors and au thors.

All o ther non - per missive ad di tional te r ms are considered � fur ther res t ric tions� within t he meaning of section 10. If t he Progra m as you received it, o r any par t of it, con tains a no tice s ta ting tha t it is governed by this License along with a ter m tha t is a fur ther res t riction, you m ay re move tha t te r m. If a license docu ment contains a fur ther res t riction bu t pe r mits relicensing or conveying u n der t his License, you m ay ad d to a covered work m ate rial governed by the ter m s of t ha t license docu ment, p rovided tha t t he fur ther res t riction does no t su rvive such relicensing or conveying.

If you ad d ter m s to a covered work in accord with t his sec tion, you m u s t place, in t he relevant source files, a s t a te ment of t he additional ter m s tha t apply to t hose files, or a no tice indica ting where to find the applicable te r ms.

Additional te r m s, per missive or non - per missive, m ay be s ta ted in t he for m of a separa tely writ ten license, or s ta ted as excep tions; t he above requirement s apply either way.

8. Termination.You m ay no t p ro pagate or m o dify a covered work excep t as expressly p rovided u n der t his License. Any a t te m p t o therwise to p ropagate or m o dify it is void, an d will au to matically te r minate your right s un der t his License (including any pa ten t licenses gran ted u n der t he t hird paragraph of section 11).

However, if you cease all violation of t his License, t hen your license fro m a par ticular copyright holder is reins ta ted (a) p rovisionally, u nless and u n til t he copyright holder explicitly and finally ter mina tes your license, an d (b) pe r manen tly, if t he copyright holder fails to no tify you of t he violation by so me reasonable means p rior to 60 days af ter t he cessa tion.

Moreover, your license from a par ticular copyright holder is reins ta ted per manen tly if t he copyright holder no tifies you of t he violation by so me reasonable means, t his is t he firs t time you have received no tice of violation of t his License (for any work) fro m tha t copyright holder, an d you cure t he violation p rior to 30 days af ter your receipt of t he notice.

Termina tion of your right s u n der t his section does no t te r minate t he licenses of pa r ties who have received copies or right s fro m you u n der t his License. If your right s have been ter minated and no t per ma nen tly reins ta ted, you do no t qualify to receive new licenses for t he sa me m ate rial u n der section 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.You are no t required to accep t t his License in order to receive or run a copy of t he Progra m. Ancillary p ro pagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of u sing peer - to - peer t rans mission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, no thing o ther t han this License grant s you per mission to p ropagate or m o dify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept t his License. Therefore, by m o difying or p ropagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of t his License to do so.

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.Each time you convey a covered work, t he recipient au to matically receives a license fro m the original licensors, to run, m o dify an d p ro pagate t ha t work, s ubject to t his License. You are no t res ponsible for enforcing com pliance by third par ties with t his License.

An � entity t ransaction� is a t ransaction t ransferring control of an organiza tion, or subs tan tially all asse t s of one, or sub dividing an organiza tion, or m erging organiza tions. If p ropagation of a covered work resul ts fro m an entity t ransaction, each par ty to t ha t t ransaction who receives a copy of t he work also receives whatever licenses to t he work the par ty's p redecessor in interes t ha d or could give u n der t he p revious paragraph, plus a right to possession of t he Correspon ding Source of t he work fro m the p redecessor in interes t, if t he p redecessor has it or can get it with reasonable effor t s.

You m ay no t impose any fur ther res t ric tions on the exercise of t he rights granted or affirme d u n der t his License. For exa m ple, you m ay not impose a license fee, royalty, or o ther charge for exercise of right s gran ted u n der t his License, an d you m ay no t initia te litigation (including a cross - claim or coun terclaim in a lawsuit) alleging tha t any pa ten t claim is infringed by m aking, u sing, selling, offering for sale, or impor ting the Progra m or any por tion of it.

11. Patents.A � cont ribu tor� is a copyright holder who au thorizes u se u n der t his License of t he Progra m or a work on which the Progra m is based. The work th us licensed is called t he cont ributor' s � contributor version� .

A contribu tor' s � essen tial pa ten t claims� are all p a ten t claims owned or cont rolled by the cont ributor, whether already acquired or hereaf ter acquired, t ha t would be infringed by so me m a n ner, per mit ted by this License, of m aking, u sing, or selling its contribu tor version, bu t do no t include claims tha t would be infringed only as a consequence of fur ther m o dification of t he cont ributor version. For p u r poses of t his defini tion, � control� includes t he right to grant pa ten t s ublicenses in a m a n ner consis ten t with t he require ment s of t his License.

Each cont ribu tor grant s you a non - exclusive, worldwide, royalty - free pa ten t license u n der t he cont ributor' s essen tial pa tent claims, to m ake, use, sell, offer for sale, impor t an d o therwise run, m o dify an d p ropagate t he con tent s of its contribu tor version.

In t he following three paragraphs, a � paten t license� is any express agree ment or com mit ment, however deno mina ted, no t to enforce a pa ten t (such as an express per mission to p rac tice a pa ten t or covenant no t to sue for pa ten t infringement). To � gran t� such a pa ten t license to a pa r ty means to m ake such an agree ment or com mit ment no t to

enforce a pa ten t agains t t he par ty.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a pa ten t license, and the Corres pon ding Source of t he work is no t available for anyone to copy, free of charge an d u n der t he ter ms of t his License, t h rough a p ublicly available ne twork server or o ther readily accessible means, t hen you m u s t either (1) cause t he Correspon ding Source to be so available, or (2) ar range to deprive yourself of t he benefit of t he pa ten t license for t his pa r ticular work, or (3) arrange, in a m a n ner consis tent with t he require ments of t his License, to extend the pa ten t license to downst rea m recipient s. � Knowingly relying� means you have actual knowledge tha t, bu t for t he pa ten t license, your conveying the covered work in a coun t ry, or your recipient 's u se of the covered work in a coun t ry, would infringe one or m ore identifiable pa ten t s in t ha t coun try t ha t you have reason to believe are valid.

If, p u r s uan t to or in connection with a single t ransaction or ar range ment, you convey, or p ropagate by p rocuring conveyance of, a covered work, an d gran t a pa ten t license to so me of t he par ties receiving the covered work aut horizing the m to u se, p ropagate, m o dify or convey a s pecific copy of t he covered work, t hen the pa ten t license you grant is au to matically extended to all recipient s of t he covered work and works based on it.

A pa ten t license is � discrimina tory� if it does not include within t he scope of its coverage, p rohibits t he exercise of, or is conditioned on the non - exercise of one or m ore of t he rights t ha t a re s pecifically gran ted u n der t his License. You m ay no t convey a covered work if you are a pa r ty to an ar rangement with a t hird par ty t ha t is in t he business of dis t ribu ting sof tware, u n der which you m ake payment to t he t hird par ty based on the exten t of your activity of conveying the work, an d u n der which the t hird pa r ty gran t s, to any of t he par ties who would receive t he covered work fro m you, a discriminatory pa ten t license (a) in connection with copies of t he covered work conveyed by you (or copies m a de fro m those copies), or (b) p rimarily for an d in connection with s pecific p ro ducts or com pilations tha t contain t he covered work, u nless you entered into t ha t a rrange ment, or t ha t pa ten t license was granted, p rior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in t his License shall be cons t rued as excluding or limiting any implied license or o ther defenses to infringe ment t ha t m ay otherwise be available to you un der ap plicable pa ten t law.

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.If conditions are imposed on you (whether by cour t order, agreement or o therwise) t ha t cont radict t he conditions of t his License, t hey do no t excuse you fro m the conditions of t his License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to sa tisfy sim ultaneously your obliga tions un der t his License an d any o ther per tinen t obligations, t hen as a consequence you m ay no t convey it a t all. For exam ple, if you agree to ter m s tha t obligate you to collect a royalty for fur ther conveying fro m those to who m you convey the Progra m, t he only way you could sa tisfy both t hose ter m s an d this License would be to refrain en tirely fro m conveying the Progra m.

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.Notwiths tanding any other p rovision of t his License, you have per mission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed u n der version 3 of t he GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, an d to convey the resul ting work. The ter ms of t his License will continue to apply to t he par t which is t he covered work, bu t t he s pecial require ments of t he GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction th rough a ne twork will ap ply to t he combination as such.

14. Revised Versions of this License.The Free Software Founda tion m ay p ublish revised and / o r new versions of t he GNU General

Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in s piri t to t he p resen t version, bu t m ay differ in de tail to ad dress new p roble ms or concerns.

Each version is given a dis tinguishing version n u m ber. If t he Progra m s pecifies t ha t a cer tain n u mbered version of t he GNU General Public License � or any later version� ap plies to it, you have the op tion of following the ter ms and conditions either of t ha t n u m bered version or of any later version p ublished by the Free Software Founda tion. If t he Progra m does not s pecify a version n u m ber of t he GNU General Public License, you m ay choose any version ever p ublished by the Free Software Founda tion.

If t he Progra m s pecifies t ha t a p roxy can decide which fu ture versions of t he GNU General Public License can be u sed, t ha t p roxy's p ublic s t a te ment of accep tance of a version per manen tly aut horizes you to choose t ha t version for t he Progra m.

Later license versions m ay give you ad ditional or different pe r missions. However, no ad ditional obligations are imposed on any aut hor or copyright holder as a resul t of your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND /OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM � AS IS� WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
