|
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
<https://fsf.org/> Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
|
|
verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
|
|
allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
|
|
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license
|
|
for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to
|
|
ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server
|
|
software.
|
|
|
|
The licenses for most software and other practical works are
|
|
designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works.
|
|
By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee
|
|
your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make
|
|
sure it remains free software for all its users.
|
|
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
|
|
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and
|
|
charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can
|
|
get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use
|
|
pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do
|
|
these things.
|
|
|
|
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your
|
|
rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and
|
|
(2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to
|
|
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
|
|
|
|
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
|
|
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
|
|
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
|
|
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
|
|
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
|
|
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come
|
|
about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified
|
|
version and letting the public access it on a server without ever
|
|
releasing its source code to the public.
|
|
|
|
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
|
|
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes
|
|
available to the community. It requires the operator of a network
|
|
server to provide the source code of the modified version running
|
|
there to the users of that server. Therefore, public use of a
|
|
modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public
|
|
access to the source code of the modified version.
|
|
|
|
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
|
|
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This
|
|
is a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero
|
|
has released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits
|
|
relicensing under this license.
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
modification follow.
|
|
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
0. Definitions.
|
|
|
|
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General
|
|
Public License.
|
|
|
|
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
|
|
kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
|
|
|
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under
|
|
this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
|
|
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
|
|
|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
|
|
work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the
|
|
making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified
|
|
version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
|
|
|
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work
|
|
based on the Program.
|
|
|
|
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
|
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
|
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on
|
|
a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
|
|
copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
|
|
available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables
|
|
other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a
|
|
user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
|
|
conveying.
|
|
|
|
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal
|
|
Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and
|
|
prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate
|
|
copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty
|
|
for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided),
|
|
that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to
|
|
view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of
|
|
user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the
|
|
list meets this criterion.
|
|
|
|
1. Source Code.
|
|
|
|
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
|
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
|
|
form of a work.
|
|
|
|
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an
|
|
official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in
|
|
the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
|
|
language, one that is widely used among developers working in that
|
|
language.
|
|
|
|
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything,
|
|
other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal
|
|
form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that
|
|
Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with
|
|
that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for
|
|
which an implementation is available to the public in source code
|
|
form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential
|
|
component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific
|
|
operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a
|
|
compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter
|
|
used to run it.
|
|
|
|
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means
|
|
all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an
|
|
executable work) run the object code and to modify the work,
|
|
including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not
|
|
include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or
|
|
generally available free programs which are used unmodified in
|
|
performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For
|
|
example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files
|
|
associated with source files for the work, and the source code for
|
|
shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work
|
|
is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data
|
|
communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
|
|
parts of the work.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
|
|
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
|
|
Source.
|
|
|
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
|
|
same work.
|
|
|
|
2. Basic Permissions.
|
|
|
|
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
|
|
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
|
|
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
|
|
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
|
|
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given
|
|
its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges
|
|
your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
|
|
copyright law.
|
|
|
|
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
|
|
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise
|
|
remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the
|
|
sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you,
|
|
or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided
|
|
that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
|
|
material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making
|
|
or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your
|
|
behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit
|
|
them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
|
|
their relationship with you.
|
|
|
|
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
|
|
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section
|
|
10 makes it unnecessary.
|
|
|
|
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
|
|
|
|
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective
|
|
technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling
|
|
obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted
|
|
on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting
|
|
circumvention of such measures.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to
|
|
forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
|
|
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License
|
|
with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to
|
|
limit operation or modification of the work as a means of
|
|
enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal
|
|
rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
|
|
|
|
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
|
|
|
|
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
|
|
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
|
|
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
|
|
notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
|
|
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the
|
|
code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
|
|
give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
|
|
|
|
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you
|
|
convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
|
|
|
|
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
|
|
|
|
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications
|
|
to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under
|
|
the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
|
|
conditions:
|
|
|
|
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you
|
|
modified it, and giving a relevant date.
|
|
|
|
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
|
|
released under this License and any conditions added under
|
|
section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section
|
|
4 to "keep intact all notices".
|
|
|
|
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
|
|
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
|
|
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section
|
|
7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its
|
|
parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives
|
|
no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does
|
|
not invalidate such permission if you have separately received
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must
|
|
display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has
|
|
interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
|
|
Notices, your work need not make them do so.
|
|
|
|
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and
|
|
independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the
|
|
covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a
|
|
larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution
|
|
medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its
|
|
resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal
|
|
rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works
|
|
permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause
|
|
this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
|
|
|
|
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
|
|
|
|
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the
|
|
terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
|
|
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
|
|
License, in one of these ways:
|
|
|
|
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical
|
|
product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied
|
|
by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
|
|
customarily used for software interchange.
|
|
|
|
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical
|
|
product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied
|
|
by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid
|
|
for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for
|
|
that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object
|
|
code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the
|
|
software in the product that is covered by this License,
|
|
on a durable physical medium customarily used for software
|
|
interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of
|
|
physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access
|
|
to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
|
|
charge.
|
|
|
|
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of
|
|
the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
|
|
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially,
|
|
and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in
|
|
accord with subsection 6b.
|
|
|
|
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
|
|
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to
|
|
the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place
|
|
at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy
|
|
the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the
|
|
place to copy the object code is a network server, the
|
|
Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated
|
|
by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying
|
|
facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the
|
|
object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
|
|
Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
|
|
remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as
|
|
needed to satisfy these requirements.
|
|
|
|
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
|
|
provided you inform other peers where the object code and
|
|
Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the
|
|
general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
|
|
|
|
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is
|
|
excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need
|
|
not be included in conveying the object code work.
|
|
|
|
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means
|
|
any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
|
|
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
|
|
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is
|
|
a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
|
|
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
|
|
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
|
|
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
|
|
way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is
|
|
expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product
|
|
regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
|
|
industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
|
|
only significant mode of use of the product.
|
|
|
|
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
|
|
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
|
|
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in
|
|
that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding
|
|
Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued
|
|
functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
|
|
interfered with solely because modification has been made.
|
|
|
|
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with,
|
|
or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying
|
|
occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
|
|
and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in
|
|
perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction
|
|
is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this
|
|
section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But
|
|
this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party
|
|
retains the ability to install modified object code on the User
|
|
Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).
|
|
|
|
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not
|
|
include a requirement to continue to provide support service,
|
|
warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed
|
|
by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been
|
|
modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when
|
|
the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
|
|
operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for
|
|
communication across the network.
|
|
|
|
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
|
|
provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is
|
|
publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the
|
|
public in source code form), and must require no special password
|
|
or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
|
|
|
|
7. Additional Terms.
|
|
|
|
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of
|
|
this License by making exceptions from one or more of its
|
|
conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the
|
|
entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in
|
|
this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
|
|
law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program,
|
|
that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the
|
|
entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to
|
|
the additional permissions.
|
|
|
|
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
|
|
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part
|
|
of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
|
|
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
|
|
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
|
|
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material
|
|
you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
|
|
holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
|
|
terms:
|
|
|
|
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from
|
|
the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
|
|
|
|
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
|
|
or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
|
|
Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or
|
|
|
|
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that
|
|
material, or requiring that modified versions of such material
|
|
be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original
|
|
version; or
|
|
|
|
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of or
|
|
licensors authors of the material; or
|
|
|
|
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of
|
|
some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
|
|
|
|
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
|
|
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified
|
|
versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability
|
|
to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual
|
|
assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.
|
|
|
|
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
|
|
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as
|
|
you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
|
|
it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further
|
|
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document
|
|
contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
|
|
under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
|
|
by the terms of that license document, provided that the further
|
|
restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
|
|
|
|
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section,
|
|
you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
|
|
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
|
|
where to find the applicable terms.
|
|
|
|
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in
|
|
the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
|
|
the above requirements apply either way.
|
|
|
|
8. Termination.
|
|
|
|
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as
|
|
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to
|
|
propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate
|
|
your rights under this License (including any patent licenses
|
|
granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
|
|
|
|
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
|
|
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
|
|
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
|
|
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
|
|
copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some
|
|
reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
|
|
|
|
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
|
|
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
|
|
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
|
|
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from
|
|
that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days
|
|
after your receipt of the notice.
|
|
|
|
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
|
|
the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
|
|
under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
|
|
permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses
|
|
for the same material under section 10.
|
|
|
|
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
|
|
|
|
You are not required to accept this License in order to
|
|
receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation
|
|
of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using
|
|
peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not
|
|
require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants
|
|
you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These
|
|
actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License.
|
|
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate
|
|
your acceptance of this License to do so.
|
|
|
|
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
|
|
|
|
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
|
|
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify
|
|
and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
|
|
responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of
|
|
an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing
|
|
an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a
|
|
covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
|
|
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
|
|
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
|
|
could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession
|
|
of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in
|
|
interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
|
|
efforts.
|
|
|
|
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of
|
|
the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you
|
|
may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise
|
|
of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate
|
|
litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
|
|
alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
|
|
selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion
|
|
of it.
|
|
|
|
11. Patents.
|
|
|
|
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under
|
|
this License of the Program or a work on which the Program
|
|
is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's
|
|
"contributor version".
|
|
|
|
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
|
|
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
|
|
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
|
|
permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its
|
|
contributor version, but do not include claims that would be
|
|
infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the
|
|
contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control"
|
|
includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
|
|
consistent with the requirements of this License.
|
|
|
|
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide,
|
|
royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential
|
|
patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
|
|
otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any
|
|
express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to
|
|
enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a
|
|
patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant"
|
|
such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or
|
|
commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
|
|
|
|
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent
|
|
license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available
|
|
for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
|
|
License, through a publicly available network server or other
|
|
readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the
|
|
Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive
|
|
yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular
|
|
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements
|
|
of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
|
|
recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge
|
|
that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work
|
|
in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a
|
|
country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
|
|
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
|
|
|
|
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
|
|
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
|
|
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
|
|
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
|
|
modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then
|
|
the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all
|
|
recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
|
|
|
|
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include
|
|
within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
|
|
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
|
|
are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a
|
|
covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third
|
|
party that is in the business of distributing software, under which
|
|
you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your
|
|
activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party
|
|
grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work
|
|
from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
|
|
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from
|
|
those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
|
|
products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
|
|
entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted,
|
|
prior to 28 March 2007.
|
|
|
|
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or
|
|
limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that
|
|
may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
|
|
|
|
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
|
|
|
|
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
|
|
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
|
|
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
|
|
License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy
|
|
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other
|
|
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it
|
|
at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to
|
|
collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you
|
|
convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms
|
|
and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the
|
|
Program.
|
|
|
|
13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public
|
|
License.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you
|
|
modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer
|
|
all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network
|
|
(if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to
|
|
receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing
|
|
access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no
|
|
charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating
|
|
copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include the
|
|
Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU
|
|
General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
|
|
following paragraph.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
|
|
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
|
|
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
|
|
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
|
|
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered
|
|
work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed
|
|
by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
|
|
|
14. Revised Versions of this License.
|
|
|
|
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
|
|
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to
|
|
time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present
|
|
version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
|
|
concerns.
|
|
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
|
|
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero
|
|
General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you
|
|
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
|
|
that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
|
|
number of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any
|
|
version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
|
|
|
|
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
|
|
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that
|
|
proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
|
|
authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
|
|
|
|
Later license versions may give you additional or different
|
|
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
|
|
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
|
|
later version.
|
|
|
|
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
|
|
|
|
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED
|
|
BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING
|
|
THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM
|
|
"AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
|
|
IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
|
|
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
|
|
SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
|
|
NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
|
|
|
16. Limitation of Liability.
|
|
|
|
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
|
|
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES
|
|
AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
|
|
YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
|
|
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
|
|
THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
|
|
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
|
|
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
|
|
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
|
|
|
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
|
|
|
|
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability
|
|
provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to
|
|
their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most
|
|
closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in
|
|
connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
|
|
liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
|
|
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
|
|
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
|
|
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this
|
|
is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
|
|
change under these terms.
|
|
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is
|
|
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
|
|
effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
|
|
have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
|
|
notice is found.
|
|
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what>
|
|
it does. Copyright (C) <year> <name of author >
|
|
|
|
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or
|
|
modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public
|
|
License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either
|
|
version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later
|
|
version.
|
|
|
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|
|
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
|
|
|
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General
|
|
Public License along with this program. If not, see
|
|
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
|
|
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
|
|
mail.
|
|
|
|
If your software can interact with users remotely through a
|
|
computer network, you should also make sure that it provides a way
|
|
for users to get its source. For example, if your program is a web
|
|
application, its interface could display a "Source" link that leads
|
|
users to an archive of the code. There are many ways you could
|
|
offer source, and different solutions will be better for different
|
|
programs; see section 13 for the specific requirements.
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)
|
|
or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
|
|
program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to
|
|
apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
