247 3.1. Application of License.
248 The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are
249 governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation
250 Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be
251 distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version
252 of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a
253 copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You
254 distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code
255 version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this
256 License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include
257 an additional document offering the additional rights described in
260 3.2. Availability of Source Code.
261 Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be
262 made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License
263 either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted
264 Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an
265 Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic
266 Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12)
267 months after the date it initially became available, or at least six
268 (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification
269 has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for
270 ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the
271 Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.
273 3.3. Description of Modifications.
274 You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a
275 file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and
276 the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that
277 the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original
278 Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the
279 Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an
280 Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the
281 origin or ownership of the Covered Code.
283 3.4. Intellectual Property Matters
284 (a) Third Party Claims.
285 If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's
286 intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights
287 granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2,
288 Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code
289 distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the
290 party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will
291 know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after
292 the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2,
293 Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies
294 Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps
295 (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups)
296 reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered
297 Code that new knowledge has been obtained.
299 (b) Contributor APIs.
300 If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming
301 interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which
302 are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must
303 also include this information in the LEGAL file.
306 Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to
307 Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's
308 Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or
309 Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by
312 3.5. Required Notices.
313 You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source
314 Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source
315 Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a
316 location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely
317 to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s)
318 You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in
319 Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation
320 for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership
321 rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to
322 charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability
323 obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You
324 may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial
325 Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than
326 any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is
327 offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial
328 Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the
329 Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty,
330 support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.
332 3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions.
333 You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the
334 requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code,
335 and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of
336 the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License,
337 including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the
338 obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included
339 in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or
340 collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the
341 Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered
342 Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may
343 contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in
344 compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the
345 Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's
346 rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this
347 License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different
348 license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ
349 from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
350 Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the
351 Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by
352 the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such
356 You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code
357 not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger
358 Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the
359 requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.
361 4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.
363 If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
364 License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to
365 statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
366 the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
367 describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description
368 must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must
369 be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the
370 extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be
371 sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to
374 5. Application of this License.
376 This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has
377 attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.
379 6. Versions of the License.
382 Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised
383 and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version
384 will be given a distinguishing version number.
386 6.2. Effect of New Versions.
387 Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the
388 License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that
389 version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms
390 of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one
391 other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to
392 Covered Code created under this License.
394 6.3. Derivative Works.
395 If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may
396 only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code
397 governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that
398 the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape",
399 "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your
400 license (except to note that your license differs from this License)
401 and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license
402 contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and
403 Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial
404 Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in
405 Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of
408 7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.
410 COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS,
411 WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
412 WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF
413 DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.
414 THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE
415 IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT,
416 YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE
417 COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER
418 OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF
419 ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.
423 8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
424 automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure
425 such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All
426 sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall
427 survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their
428 nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License
431 8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement
432 claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer
433 or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom
434 You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:
436 (a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly
437 infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such
438 Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License
439 shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively,
440 unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i)
441 agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable
442 royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such
443 Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to
444 the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days
445 of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not
446 mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim
447 is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under
448 Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of
449 the 60 day notice period specified above.
451 (b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's
452 Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then
453 any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b)
454 and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used,
455 sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that
458 8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant
459 alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or
460 indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as
461 by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent
462 infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses
463 granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken
464 into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or
467 8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above,
468 all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers)
469 which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder
470 prior to termination shall survive termination.
472 9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
474 UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
475 (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL
476 DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE,
477 OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR
478 ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY
479 CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL,
480 WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
481 COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
482 INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF
483 LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY
484 RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW
485 PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
486 EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO
487 THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
489 10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.
491 The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in
492 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer
493 software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such
494 terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48
495 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995),
496 all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those
497 rights set forth herein.
501 This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
502 matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
503 unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
504 necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by
505 California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if
506 any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
507 With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of,
508 or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United
509 States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be
510 subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern
511 District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County,
512 California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including
513 without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and
514 expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on
515 Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.
516 Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract
517 shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this
520 12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.
522 As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
523 responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly,
524 out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to
525 work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such
526 responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or
527 shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.
529 13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.
531 Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as
532 "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial
533 Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under
534 Your choice of the NPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified
535 by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.

593 (A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors name, logo, or trademarks.
594 (B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.
595 (C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the software.
596 (D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution.

707 Creative Commons Corporation ("Creative Commons") is not a law firm and
708 does not provide legal services or legal advice. Distribution of
709 Creative Commons public licenses does not create a lawyer-client or
710 other relationship. Creative Commons makes its licenses and related
711 information available on an "as-is" basis. Creative Commons gives no
712 warranties regarding its licenses, any material licensed under their
713 terms and conditions, or any related information. Creative Commons
714 disclaims all liability for damages resulting from their use to the
715 fullest extent possible.
717 Using Creative Commons Public Licenses
719 Creative Commons public licenses provide a standard set of terms and
720 conditions that creators and other rights holders may use to share
721 original works of authorship and other material subject to copyright
722 and certain other rights specified in the public license below. The
723 following considerations are for informational purposes only, are not
724 exhaustive, and do not form part of our licenses.
726 Considerations for licensors: Our public licenses are
727 intended for use by those authorized to give the public
728 permission to use material in ways otherwise restricted by
729 copyright and certain other rights. Our licenses are
730 irrevocable. Licensors should read and understand the terms
731 and conditions of the license they choose before applying it.
732 Licensors should also secure all rights necessary before
733 applying our licenses so that the public can reuse the
734 material as expected. Licensors should clearly mark any
735 material not subject to the license. This includes other CC-
736 licensed material, or material used under an exception or
737 limitation to copyright. More considerations for licensors:
738 wiki.creativecommons.org/Considerations_for_licensors
740 Considerations for the public: By using one of our public
741 licenses, a licensor grants the public permission to use the
742 licensed material under specified terms and conditions. If
743 the licensor's permission is not necessary for any reason--for
744 example, because of any applicable exception or limitation to
745 copyright--then that use is not regulated by the license. Our
746 licenses grant only permissions under copyright and certain
747 other rights that a licensor has authority to grant. Use of
748 the licensed material may still be restricted for other
749 reasons, including because others have copyright or other
750 rights in the material. A licensor may make special requests,
751 such as asking that all changes be marked or described.
752 Although not required by our licenses, you are encouraged to
753 respect those requests where reasonable. More_considerations

759 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License
761 By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
762 to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
763 Attribution 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the
764 extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are
765 granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of
766 these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in
767 consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the
768 Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
771 Section 1 -- Definitions.
773 a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar
774 Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material
775 and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered,
776 arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring
777 permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
778 Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
779 Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording,
780 Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is
781 synched in timed relation with a moving image.
783 b. Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright
784 and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in
785 accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.
787 c. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights
788 closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
789 performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database
790 Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
791 categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
792 specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar
795 d. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the
796 absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
797 fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright
798 Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international
801 e. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
802 any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights
803 that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
805 f. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database,
806 or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public
809 g. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the
810 terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to
811 all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
812 Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
814 h. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
815 under this Public License.
817 i. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
818 process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
819 as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
820 dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
821 available to the public including in ways that members of the
822 public may access the material from a place and at a time
823 individually chosen by them.
825 j. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
826 resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
827 the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
828 as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
829 equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
831 k. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
832 under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
839 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
840 the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
841 non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
842 exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
844 a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
847 b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
849 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
850 Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
851 License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
852 its terms and conditions.
854 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
857 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
858 Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
859 all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
860 and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
861 Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
862 authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
863 necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
864 technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
865 Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
866 simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
867 (4) never produces Adapted Material.
869 5. Downstream recipients.
871 a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
872 recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
873 receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
874 Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
877 b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
878 any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
879 apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
880 Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
881 Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
884 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
885 may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
886 are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
887 with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
888 the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
889 provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
893 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
894 licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
895 privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
896 the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
897 assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
898 extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
899 Rights, but not otherwise.
901 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
904 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
905 collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
906 Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
907 under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
908 licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
909 reserves any right to collect such royalties.
912 Section 3 -- License Conditions.
914 Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
915 following conditions.
919 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
922 a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
923 with the Licensed Material:
925 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
926 Material and any others designated to receive
927 attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
928 the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
931 ii. a copyright notice;
933 iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
935 iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
938 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
939 extent reasonably practicable;
941 b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
942 retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
944 c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
945 Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
946 hyperlink to, this Public License.
948 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
949 reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
950 which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
951 reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
952 hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
955 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
956 information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
957 reasonably practicable.
959 4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's
960 License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted
961 Material from complying with this Public License.
964 Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
966 Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
967 apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
969 a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
970 to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
971 portion of the contents of the database;
973 b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
974 contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
975 Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
976 Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
978 c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
979 all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
981 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
982 replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
983 Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
986 Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
988 a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
989 EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
990 AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
991 ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
992 IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
993 WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
994 PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
995 ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
996 KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
997 ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
999 b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
1000 TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
1001 NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
1002 INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
1003 COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
1004 USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
1005 ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
1006 DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
1007 IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
1009 c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
1010 above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
1011 possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
1012 waiver of all liability.
1015 Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
1017 a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
1018 Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
1019 this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
1020 terminate automatically.
1022 b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
1023 Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1025 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
1026 it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
1029 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
1031 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
1032 right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
1033 of this Public License.
1035 c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
1036 Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
1037 distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
1038 will not terminate this Public License.
1040 d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
1044 Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
1046 a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
1047 terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
1049 b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
1050 Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
1051 independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
1054 Section 8 -- Interpretation.
1056 a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
1057 shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
1058 conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
1059 be made without permission under this Public License.
1061 b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
1062 deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
1063 minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
1064 cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
1065 without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
1068 c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
1069 failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
1072 d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
1073 as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
1074 that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
1075 processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

1101 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1102 Version 2, June 1991
1104 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1105 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1106 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1107 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1111 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
1112 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
1113 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
1114 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
1115 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
1116 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
1117 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
1118 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
1121 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1122 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1123 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1124 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
1125 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
1126 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1128 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1129 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1130 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1131 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1133 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1134 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1135 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1136 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
1139 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
1140 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1141 distribute and/or modify the software.
1143 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
1144 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1145 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1146 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1147 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1148 authors' reputations.
1150 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1151 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1152 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1153 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1154 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1156 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1157 modification follow.
1159 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1160 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1162 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
1163 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1164 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
1165 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
1166 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
1167 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
1168 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
1169 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
1170 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
1172 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
1173 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
1174 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
1175 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
1176 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
1177 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1179 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
1180 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1181 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1182 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1183 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
1184 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
1185 along with the Program.
1187 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
1188 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1190 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
1191 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1192 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1193 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1195 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1196 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1198 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
1199 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
1200 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
1201 parties under the terms of this License.
1203 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1204 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1205 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
1206 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
1207 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
1208 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
1209 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
1210 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
1211 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
1212 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1214 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
1215 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
1216 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
1217 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
1218 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
1219 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
1220 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
1221 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
1222 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1224 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
1225 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
1226 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
1227 collective works based on the Program.
1229 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
1230 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
1231 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
1232 the scope of this License.
1234 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1235 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
1236 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1238 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1239 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1240 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1242 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1243 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1244 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1245 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1246 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
1247 customarily used for software interchange; or,
1249 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1250 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
1251 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1252 received the program in object code or executable form with such
1253 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
1255 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
1256 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
1257 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
1258 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
1259 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
1260 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
1261 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
1262 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
1263 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
1264 itself accompanies the executable.
1266 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
1267 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
1268 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
1269 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
1270 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1272 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
1273 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
1274 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
1275 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
1276 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
1277 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
1278 parties remain in full compliance.
1280 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
1281 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
1282 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
1283 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
1284 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
1285 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
1286 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
1287 the Program or works based on it.
1289 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
1290 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
1291 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
1292 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
1293 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
1294 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
1297 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1298 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
1299 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
1300 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
1301 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
1302 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
1303 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
1304 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
1305 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
1306 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
1307 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
1308 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
1310 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
1311 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
1312 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
1315 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
1316 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
1317 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
1318 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
1319 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
1320 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
1321 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1322 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
1323 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
1326 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
1327 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1329 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
1330 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
1331 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
1332 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
1333 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
1334 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
1335 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
1337 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
1338 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
1339 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
1340 address new problems or concerns.
1342 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
1343 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
1344 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
1345 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
1346 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
1347 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
1350 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
1351 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
1352 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
1353 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
1354 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
1355 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
1356 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
1360 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
1361 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
1362 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
1363 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
1364 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
1365 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
1366 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
1367 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
1368 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1370 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
1371 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
1372 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
1373 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
1374 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
1375 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
1376 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
1377 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
1378 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1380 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1382 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1384 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1385 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1386 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1388 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
1389 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1390 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
1391 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1393 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
1394 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1396 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
1397 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1398 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
1399 (at your option) any later version.
1401 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1402 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1403 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
1404 GNU General Public License for more details.
1406 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
1407 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
1408 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1411 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1413 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
1414 when it starts in an interactive mode:
1416 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
1417 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1418 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1419 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1421 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
1422 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
1423 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
1424 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
1426 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
1427 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
1428 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
1430 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1431 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1436 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
1437 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
1438 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
1439 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
1440 Public License instead of this License.
