By contrast, the 28 <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License is intended to guarantee your 29 freedom to share and change all versions of a programto make sure it 30 remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, 31 use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License for most of our 32 software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its 33 authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. 34 </para> 35 <para> 36 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our 37 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom 38 to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), 39 that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can 40 change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you 41 know you can do these things. 42 </para> 43 <para> 44 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these 45 rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain 46 responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify 47 it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. 48 </para> 49 <para> 50 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or 51 for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you 52 received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 53 code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 54 </para> 55 <para> 56 Developers that use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> <acronym>GPL</acronym> 57 protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, 58 and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, 59 distribute and/or modify it. 60 </para> 61 <para> 62 For the developers and authors protection, the 63 <acronym>GPL</acronym> clearly explains that there is no warranty for this 64 free software. For both users and authors sake, the 65 <acronym>GPL</acronym> requires that modified versions be marked as changed, 66 so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of 67 previous versions. 68 </para> 69 <para> 70 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified 71 versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. 72 This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users 73 freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs 74 in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it 75 is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the 76 <acronym>GPL</acronym> to prohibit the practice for those products. If such 77 problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this 78 provision to those domains in future versions of the <acronym>GPL</acronym>, 79 as needed to protect the freedom of users. 80 </para> 81 <para> 82 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States 83 should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on 84 general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the 85 special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it 86 effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the <acronym>GPL</acronym> 87 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. 88 </para> 89 <para> 90 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification 91 follow. 92 </para> 93 <bridgehead> 94 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 95 </bridgehead> 96 <bridgehead xml:id="gpl-3-definitions" renderas="sect1"> 97 0.

Each licensee is addressed as you. 110 Licensees and recipients may be individuals or 111 organizations. 112 </para> 113 <para> 114 To modify a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of 115 the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making 116 of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a modified 117 version of the earlier work or a work based on the 118 earlier work. 119 </para> 120 <para> 121 A covered work means either the unmodified Program or a work 122 based on the Program. 123 </para> 124 <para> 125 To propagate a work means to do anything with it that, without 126 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement 127 under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or 128 modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with 129 or without modification), making available to the public, and in some 130 countries other activities as well. 131 </para> 132 <para> 133 To convey a work means any kind of propagation that enables 134 other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user 135 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. 136 </para> 137 <para> 138 An interactive user interface displays Appropriate Legal 139 Notices to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently 140 visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) 141 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent 142 that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this 143 License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents 144 a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the 145 list meets this criterion. 146 </para> 147 <bridgehead xml:id="SourceCode" renderas="sect1"> 148 1. Source Code. 149 </bridgehead> 150 <para> 151 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the 152 work for making modifications to it. Object code means any 153 non-source form of a work. 154 </para> 155 <para> 156 A Standard Interface means an interface that either is an 157 official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of 158 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is 159 widely used among developers working in that language. 160 </para> 161 <para> 162 The System Libraries of an executable work include anything, 163 other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of 164 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, 165 and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or 166 to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available 167 to the public in source code form. A Major Component, in this 168 context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so 169 on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work 170 runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter 171 used to run it. 172 </para> 173 <para> 174 The Corresponding Source for a work in object code form means 175 all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable 176 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to 177 control those activities. However, it does not include the works 178 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free 179 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which 180 are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes 181 interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and 182 the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that 183 the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data 184 communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of 185 the work. 186 </para> 187 <para> 188 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate 189 automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. 190 </para> 191 <para> 192 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. 193 </para> 194 <bridgehead xml:id="BasicPermissions" renderas="sect1"> 195 2.

For purposes of this definition, 610 control includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a 611 manner consistent with the requirements of this License. 612 </para> 613 <para> 614 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent 615 license under the contributors essential patent claims, to make, use, 616 sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the 617 contents of its contributor version. 618 </para> 619 <para> 620 In the following three paragraphs, a patent license is any 621 express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a 622 patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not 623 to sue for patent infringement). To grant such a patent 624 license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to 625 enforce a patent against the party. 626 </para> 627 <para> 628 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the 629 Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free 630 of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available 631 network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) 632 cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive 633 yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or 634 (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, 635 to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. Knowingly 636 relying means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent 637 license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your 638 recipients use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one 639 or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe 640 are valid. 641 </para> 642 <para> 643 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, 644 you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and 645 grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work 646 authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the 647 covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to 648 all recipients of the covered work and works based on it. 649 </para> 650 <para> 651 A patent license is discriminatory if it does not include 652 within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is 653 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are 654 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work 655 if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the 656 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third 657 party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under 658 which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the 659 covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection 660 with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those 661 copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or 662 compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that 663 arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. 664 </para> 665 <para> 666 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any 667 implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be 668 available to you under applicable patent law. 669 </para> 670 <bridgehead xml:id="NoSurrender" renderas="sect1"> 671 12. No Surrender of Others Freedom. 672 </bridgehead> 673 <para> 674 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 675 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 676 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a 677 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 678 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may 679 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you 680 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the 681 Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License 682 would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 683 </para> 684 <bridgehead xml:id="UsedWithAGPL" renderas="sect1"> 685 13. Use with the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License. 686 </bridgehead> 687 <para> 688 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to 689 link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the 690 <acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License into a single combined 691 work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will 692 continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special 693 requirements of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License, 694 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the 695 combination as such. 696 </para> 697 <bridgehead xml:id="RevisedVersions" renderas="sect1"> 698 14.

Such new 703 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in 704 detail to address new problems or concerns. 705 </para> 706 <para> 707 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 708 specifies that a certain numbered version of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> 709 General Public License or any later version applies to it, you 710 have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that 711 numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software 712 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the 713 <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License, you may choose any version 714 ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 715 </para> 716 <para> 717 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of 718 the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License can be used, that 719 proxys public statement of acceptance of a version permanently 720 authorizes you to choose that version for the Program. 721 </para> 722 <para> 723 Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. 724 However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright 725 holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. 726 </para> 727 <bridgehead xml:id="WarrantyDisclaimer" renderas="sect1"> 728 15.

It is safest to 778 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the 779 exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the 780 copyright line and a pointer to where the full notice is 781 found. 782 </para> 783 <screen> 784 <replaceable>one line to give the programs name and a brief idea of what it does.</replaceable> 785 Copyright (C) <replaceable>year</replaceable> <replaceable>name of author</replaceable> 786 787 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify 788 it under the terms of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License as published by 789 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or 790 (at your option) any later version. 791 792 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 793 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 794 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
