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

595 (A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors name, logo, or trademarks.
596 (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.
597 (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.
598 (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.

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

761 Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License
763 By exercising the Licensed Rights (defined below), You accept and agree
764 to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Creative Commons
765 Attribution 4.0 International Public License ("Public License"). To the
766 extent this Public License may be interpreted as a contract, You are
767 granted the Licensed Rights in consideration of Your acceptance of
768 these terms and conditions, and the Licensor grants You such rights in
769 consideration of benefits the Licensor receives from making the
770 Licensed Material available under these terms and conditions.
773 Section 1 -- Definitions.
775 a. Adapted Material means material subject to Copyright and Similar
776 Rights that is derived from or based upon the Licensed Material
777 and in which the Licensed Material is translated, altered,
778 arranged, transformed, or otherwise modified in a manner requiring
779 permission under the Copyright and Similar Rights held by the
780 Licensor. For purposes of this Public License, where the Licensed
781 Material is a musical work, performance, or sound recording,
782 Adapted Material is always produced where the Licensed Material is
783 synched in timed relation with a moving image.
785 b. Adapter's License means the license You apply to Your Copyright
786 and Similar Rights in Your contributions to Adapted Material in
787 accordance with the terms and conditions of this Public License.
789 c. Copyright and Similar Rights means copyright and/or similar rights
790 closely related to copyright including, without limitation,
791 performance, broadcast, sound recording, and Sui Generis Database
792 Rights, without regard to how the rights are labeled or
793 categorized. For purposes of this Public License, the rights
794 specified in Section 2(b)(1)-(2) are not Copyright and Similar
797 d. Effective Technological Measures means those measures that, in the
798 absence of proper authority, may not be circumvented under laws
799 fulfilling obligations under Article 11 of the WIPO Copyright
800 Treaty adopted on December 20, 1996, and/or similar international
803 e. Exceptions and Limitations means fair use, fair dealing, and/or
804 any other exception or limitation to Copyright and Similar Rights
805 that applies to Your use of the Licensed Material.
807 f. Licensed Material means the artistic or literary work, database,
808 or other material to which the Licensor applied this Public
811 g. Licensed Rights means the rights granted to You subject to the
812 terms and conditions of this Public License, which are limited to
813 all Copyright and Similar Rights that apply to Your use of the
814 Licensed Material and that the Licensor has authority to license.
816 h. Licensor means the individual(s) or entity(ies) granting rights
817 under this Public License.
819 i. Share means to provide material to the public by any means or
820 process that requires permission under the Licensed Rights, such
821 as reproduction, public display, public performance, distribution,
822 dissemination, communication, or importation, and to make material
823 available to the public including in ways that members of the
824 public may access the material from a place and at a time
825 individually chosen by them.
827 j. Sui Generis Database Rights means rights other than copyright
828 resulting from Directive 96/9/EC of the European Parliament and of
829 the Council of 11 March 1996 on the legal protection of databases,
830 as amended and/or succeeded, as well as other essentially
831 equivalent rights anywhere in the world.
833 k. You means the individual or entity exercising the Licensed Rights
834 under this Public License. Your has a corresponding meaning.
841 1. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Public License,
842 the Licensor hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
843 non-sublicensable, non-exclusive, irrevocable license to
844 exercise the Licensed Rights in the Licensed Material to:
846 a. reproduce and Share the Licensed Material, in whole or
849 b. produce, reproduce, and Share Adapted Material.
851 2. Exceptions and Limitations. For the avoidance of doubt, where
852 Exceptions and Limitations apply to Your use, this Public
853 License does not apply, and You do not need to comply with
854 its terms and conditions.
856 3. Term. The term of this Public License is specified in Section
859 4. Media and formats; technical modifications allowed. The
860 Licensor authorizes You to exercise the Licensed Rights in
861 all media and formats whether now known or hereafter created,
862 and to make technical modifications necessary to do so. The
863 Licensor waives and/or agrees not to assert any right or
864 authority to forbid You from making technical modifications
865 necessary to exercise the Licensed Rights, including
866 technical modifications necessary to circumvent Effective
867 Technological Measures. For purposes of this Public License,
868 simply making modifications authorized by this Section 2(a)
869 (4) never produces Adapted Material.
871 5. Downstream recipients.
873 a. Offer from the Licensor -- Licensed Material. Every
874 recipient of the Licensed Material automatically
875 receives an offer from the Licensor to exercise the
876 Licensed Rights under the terms and conditions of this
879 b. No downstream restrictions. You may not offer or impose
880 any additional or different terms or conditions on, or
881 apply any Effective Technological Measures to, the
882 Licensed Material if doing so restricts exercise of the
883 Licensed Rights by any recipient of the Licensed
886 6. No endorsement. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or
887 may be construed as permission to assert or imply that You
888 are, or that Your use of the Licensed Material is, connected
889 with, or sponsored, endorsed, or granted official status by,
890 the Licensor or others designated to receive attribution as
891 provided in Section 3(a)(1)(A)(i).
895 1. Moral rights, such as the right of integrity, are not
896 licensed under this Public License, nor are publicity,
897 privacy, and/or other similar personality rights; however, to
898 the extent possible, the Licensor waives and/or agrees not to
899 assert any such rights held by the Licensor to the limited
900 extent necessary to allow You to exercise the Licensed
901 Rights, but not otherwise.
903 2. Patent and trademark rights are not licensed under this
906 3. To the extent possible, the Licensor waives any right to
907 collect royalties from You for the exercise of the Licensed
908 Rights, whether directly or through a collecting society
909 under any voluntary or waivable statutory or compulsory
910 licensing scheme. In all other cases the Licensor expressly
911 reserves any right to collect such royalties.
914 Section 3 -- License Conditions.
916 Your exercise of the Licensed Rights is expressly made subject to the
917 following conditions.
921 1. If You Share the Licensed Material (including in modified
924 a. retain the following if it is supplied by the Licensor
925 with the Licensed Material:
927 i. identification of the creator(s) of the Licensed
928 Material and any others designated to receive
929 attribution, in any reasonable manner requested by
930 the Licensor (including by pseudonym if
933 ii. a copyright notice;
935 iii. a notice that refers to this Public License;
937 iv. a notice that refers to the disclaimer of
940 v. a URI or hyperlink to the Licensed Material to the
941 extent reasonably practicable;
943 b. indicate if You modified the Licensed Material and
944 retain an indication of any previous modifications; and
946 c. indicate the Licensed Material is licensed under this
947 Public License, and include the text of, or the URI or
948 hyperlink to, this Public License.
950 2. You may satisfy the conditions in Section 3(a)(1) in any
951 reasonable manner based on the medium, means, and context in
952 which You Share the Licensed Material. For example, it may be
953 reasonable to satisfy the conditions by providing a URI or
954 hyperlink to a resource that includes the required
957 3. If requested by the Licensor, You must remove any of the
958 information required by Section 3(a)(1)(A) to the extent
959 reasonably practicable.
961 4. If You Share Adapted Material You produce, the Adapter's
962 License You apply must not prevent recipients of the Adapted
963 Material from complying with this Public License.
966 Section 4 -- Sui Generis Database Rights.
968 Where the Licensed Rights include Sui Generis Database Rights that
969 apply to Your use of the Licensed Material:
971 a. for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(a)(1) grants You the right
972 to extract, reuse, reproduce, and Share all or a substantial
973 portion of the contents of the database;
975 b. if You include all or a substantial portion of the database
976 contents in a database in which You have Sui Generis Database
977 Rights, then the database in which You have Sui Generis Database
978 Rights (but not its individual contents) is Adapted Material; and
980 c. You must comply with the conditions in Section 3(a) if You Share
981 all or a substantial portion of the contents of the database.
983 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4 supplements and does not
984 replace Your obligations under this Public License where the Licensed
985 Rights include other Copyright and Similar Rights.
988 Section 5 -- Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.
990 a. UNLESS OTHERWISE SEPARATELY UNDERTAKEN BY THE LICENSOR, TO THE
991 EXTENT POSSIBLE, THE LICENSOR OFFERS THE LICENSED MATERIAL AS-IS
992 AND AS-AVAILABLE, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
993 ANY KIND CONCERNING THE LICENSED MATERIAL, WHETHER EXPRESS,
994 IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHER. THIS INCLUDES, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
995 WARRANTIES OF TITLE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
996 PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS,
997 ACCURACY, OR THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
998 KNOWN OR DISCOVERABLE. WHERE DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES ARE NOT
999 ALLOWED IN FULL OR IN PART, THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
1001 b. TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE, IN NO EVENT WILL THE LICENSOR BE LIABLE
1002 TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
1003 NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE FOR ANY DIRECT, SPECIAL, INDIRECT,
1004 INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER LOSSES,
1005 COSTS, EXPENSES, OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THIS PUBLIC LICENSE OR
1006 USE OF THE LICENSED MATERIAL, EVEN IF THE LICENSOR HAS BEEN
1007 ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSSES, COSTS, EXPENSES, OR
1008 DAMAGES. WHERE A LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT ALLOWED IN FULL OR
1009 IN PART, THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
1011 c. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided
1012 above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent
1013 possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and
1014 waiver of all liability.
1017 Section 6 -- Term and Termination.
1019 a. This Public License applies for the term of the Copyright and
1020 Similar Rights licensed here. However, if You fail to comply with
1021 this Public License, then Your rights under this Public License
1022 terminate automatically.
1024 b. Where Your right to use the Licensed Material has terminated under
1025 Section 6(a), it reinstates:
1027 1. automatically as of the date the violation is cured, provided
1028 it is cured within 30 days of Your discovery of the
1031 2. upon express reinstatement by the Licensor.
1033 For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6(b) does not affect any
1034 right the Licensor may have to seek remedies for Your violations
1035 of this Public License.
1037 c. For the avoidance of doubt, the Licensor may also offer the
1038 Licensed Material under separate terms or conditions or stop
1039 distributing the Licensed Material at any time; however, doing so
1040 will not terminate this Public License.
1042 d. Sections 1, 5, 6, 7, and 8 survive termination of this Public
1046 Section 7 -- Other Terms and Conditions.
1048 a. The Licensor shall not be bound by any additional or different
1049 terms or conditions communicated by You unless expressly agreed.
1051 b. Any arrangements, understandings, or agreements regarding the
1052 Licensed Material not stated herein are separate from and
1053 independent of the terms and conditions of this Public License.
1056 Section 8 -- Interpretation.
1058 a. For the avoidance of doubt, this Public License does not, and
1059 shall not be interpreted to, reduce, limit, restrict, or impose
1060 conditions on any use of the Licensed Material that could lawfully
1061 be made without permission under this Public License.
1063 b. To the extent possible, if any provision of this Public License is
1064 deemed unenforceable, it shall be automatically reformed to the
1065 minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable. If the provision
1066 cannot be reformed, it shall be severed from this Public License
1067 without affecting the enforceability of the remaining terms and
1070 c. No term or condition of this Public License will be waived and no
1071 failure to comply consented to unless expressly agreed to by the
1074 d. Nothing in this Public License constitutes or may be interpreted
1075 as a limitation upon, or waiver of, any privileges and immunities
1076 that apply to the Licensor or You, including from the legal
1077 processes of any jurisdiction or authority.

1103 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1104 Version 2, June 1991
1106 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
1107 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1108 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1109 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1113 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
1114 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
1115 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
1116 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
1117 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
1118 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
1119 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
1120 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
1123 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1124 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1125 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1126 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
1127 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
1128 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1130 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1131 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1132 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1133 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1135 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1136 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1137 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1138 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
1141 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
1142 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1143 distribute and/or modify the software.
1145 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
1146 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1147 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1148 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1149 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1150 authors' reputations.
1152 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1153 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1154 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1155 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1156 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1158 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1159 modification follow.
1161 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1162 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1164 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
1165 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1166 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
1167 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
1168 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
1169 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
1170 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
1171 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
1172 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
1174 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
1175 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
1176 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
1177 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
1178 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
1179 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1181 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
1182 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1183 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1184 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1185 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
1186 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
1187 along with the Program.
1189 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
1190 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1192 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
1193 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1194 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1195 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1197 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1198 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1200 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
1201 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
1202 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
1203 parties under the terms of this License.
1205 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1206 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1207 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
1208 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
1209 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
1210 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
1211 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
1212 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
1213 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
1214 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1216 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
1217 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
1218 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
1219 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
1220 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
1221 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
1222 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
1223 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
1224 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1226 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
1227 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
1228 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
1229 collective works based on the Program.
1231 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
1232 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
1233 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
1234 the scope of this License.
1236 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1237 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
1238 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1240 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1241 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1242 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1244 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1245 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1246 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1247 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1248 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
1249 customarily used for software interchange; or,
1251 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1252 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
1253 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1254 received the program in object code or executable form with such
1255 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
1257 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
1258 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
1259 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
1260 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
1261 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
1262 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
1263 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
1264 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
1265 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
1266 itself accompanies the executable.
1268 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
1269 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
1270 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
1271 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
1272 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1274 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
1275 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
1276 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
1277 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
1278 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
1279 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
1280 parties remain in full compliance.
1282 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
1283 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
1284 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
1285 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
1286 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
1287 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
1288 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
1289 the Program or works based on it.
1291 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
1292 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
1293 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
1294 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
1295 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
1296 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
1299 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1300 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
1301 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
1302 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
1303 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
1304 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
1305 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
1306 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
1307 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
1308 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
1309 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
1310 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
1312 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
1313 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
1314 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
1317 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
1318 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
1319 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
1320 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
1321 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
1322 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
1323 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1324 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
1325 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
1328 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
1329 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1331 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
1332 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
1333 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
1334 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
1335 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
1336 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
1337 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
1339 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
1340 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
1341 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
1342 address new problems or concerns.
1344 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
1345 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
1346 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
1347 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
1348 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
1349 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
1352 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
1353 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
1354 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
1355 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
1356 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
1357 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
1358 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
1362 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
1363 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
1364 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
1365 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
1366 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
1367 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
1368 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
1369 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
1370 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1372 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
1373 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
1374 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
1375 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
1376 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
1377 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
1378 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
1379 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
1380 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1382 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1384 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1386 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1387 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1388 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1390 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
1391 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1392 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
1393 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1395 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
1396 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1398 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
1399 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1400 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
1401 (at your option) any later version.
1403 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1404 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1405 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
1406 GNU General Public License for more details.
1408 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
1409 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
1410 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1413 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1415 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
1416 when it starts in an interactive mode:
1418 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
1419 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1420 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1421 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1423 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
1424 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
1425 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
1426 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
1428 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
1429 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
1430 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
1432 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1433 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1438 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
1439 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
1440 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
1441 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
1442 Public License instead of this License.
