      1 GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 19 November 2007
      2 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
      3  
      4 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
      5 document, but changing it is not allowed.
      6 
      7 Preamble
      8 
      9 The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
     10 and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the
     11 community in the case of network server software.
     12 
     13 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take
     14 away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast, our General
     15 Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all
     16 versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.
     17 
     18 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.  Our
     19 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
     20 distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you
     21 receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the
     22 software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can
     23 do these things.
     24 
     25 Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two
     26 steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
     27 which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
     28 
     29 A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements made
     30 in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread use, become
     31 available for other developers to incorporate.  Many developers of free
     32 software are heartened and encouraged by the resulting cooperation.  However,
     33 in the case of software used on network servers, this result may fail to come
     34 about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
     35 letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code
     36 to the public.
     37 
     38 The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that,
     39 in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community.  It
     40 requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the
     41 modified version running there to the users of that server.  Therefore, public
     42 use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public
     43 access to the source code of the modified version.
     44 
     45 An older license, called the Affero General Public License and published by
     46 Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals.  This is a different license,
     47 not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has released a new version of the
     48 Affero GPL which permits relicensing under this license.
     49 
     50 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
     51 follow.
     52 
     53 TERMS AND CONDITIONS
     54 
     55 0. Definitions.
     56 
     57 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
     58 
     59 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works,
     60 such as semiconductor masks.
     61 
     62 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License.
     63 Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and "recipients" may be
     64 individuals or organizations.
     65 
     66 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a
     67 fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy.
     68  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a
     69 work "based on" the earlier work.
     70 
     71 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the
     72 Program.
     73 
     74 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission,
     75 would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable
     76 copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy.
     77 Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification),
     78 making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.
     79 
     80 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to
     81 make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through a computer
     82 network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
     83 
     84 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the
     85 extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that
     86 (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that
     87 there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
     88 provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to
     89 view a copy of this License.  If the interface presents a list of user commands
     90 or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
     91 
     92 1. Source Code.
     93 
     94 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
     95 modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.
     96 
     97 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard
     98 defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified
     99 for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers
    100 working in that language.
    101 
    102 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the
    103 work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major
    104 Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only
    105 to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard
    106 Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code
    107 form.  A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
    108 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on
    109 which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an
    110 object code interpreter used to run it.
    111 
    112 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source
    113 code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object
    114 code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities.
    115 However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose
    116 tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in
    117 performing those activities but which are not part of the work.  For example,
    118 Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source
    119 files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
    120 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as
    121 by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and
    122 other parts of the work.
    123 
    124 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate
    125 automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
    126 
    127 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
    128 
    129 2. Basic Permissions.
    130 
    131 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on
    132 the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met.  This
    133 License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified
    134 Program.  The output from running a covered work is covered by this License
    135 only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work.  This
    136 License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided
    137 by copyright law.
    138 
    139 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without
    140 conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.  You may convey
    141 covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications
    142 exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works,
    143 provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all
    144 material for which you do not control copyright.  Those thus making or running
    145 the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your
    146 direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
    147 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
    148 
    149 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
    150 conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it
    151 unnecessary.
    152 
    153 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
    154 
    155 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure
    156 under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO
    157 copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or
    158 restricting circumvention of such measures.
    159 
    160 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
    161 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is
    162 effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered
    163 work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the
    164 work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties'
    165 legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.
    166 
    167 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
    168 
    169 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it,
    170 in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
    171 each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating
    172 that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section
    173 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty;
    174 and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
    175 
    176 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you
    177 may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
    178 
    179 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
    180 
    181 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it
    182 from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4,
    183 provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    184 
    185     a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and
    186        giving a relevant date.
    187 
    188     b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under
    189        this License and any conditions added under section 7.  This requirement
    190        modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".
    191 
    192     c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to
    193        anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This License will
    194        therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms,
    195        to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
    196        packaged.  This License gives no permission to license the work in any
    197        other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have
    198        separately received it.
    199 
    200     d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
    201        Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
    202        interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work
    203        need not make them do so.
    204 
    205 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works,
    206 which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are
    207 not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a
    208 storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation
    209 and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights
    210 of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion
    211 of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the
    212 other parts of the aggregate.
    213 
    214 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
    215 
    216 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections
    217 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding
    218 Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
    219 
    220     a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    221        (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
    222        Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily
    223        used for software interchange.
    224 
    225     b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    226        (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written
    227        offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
    228        offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give
    229        anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
    230        Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is
    231        covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used
    232        for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost
    233        of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to
    234        copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
    235 
    236     c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written
    237        offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This alternative is allowed
    238        only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the
    239        object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.
    240 
    241     d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place
    242        (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
    243        Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
    244        further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
    245        Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to copy
    246        the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on
    247        a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports
    248        equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions
    249        next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source.
    250        Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain
    251        obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to
    252        satisfy these requirements.
    253 
    254     e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you
    255        inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of
    256        the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under
    257        subsection 6d.
    258 
    259 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the
    260 Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying
    261 the object code work.
    262 
    263 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible
    264 personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household
    265 purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling.
    266 In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall
    267 be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular product received by a
    268 particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that
    269 class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the
    270 way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to
    271 use, the product.  A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the
    272 product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless
    273 such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.
    274 
    275 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures,
    276 authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute
    277 modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified
    278 version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must suffice to ensure
    279 that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case
    280 prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.
    281 
    282 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
    283 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of
    284 a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is
    285 transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of
    286 how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under
    287 this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information.  But this
    288 requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the
    289 ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the
    290 work has been installed in ROM).
    291 
    292 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
    293 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a
    294 work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User
    295 Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a network may
    296 be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the
    297 operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication
    298 across the network.
    299 
    300 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
    301 accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and
    302 with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must
    303 require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
    304 
    305 7. Additional Terms.
    306 
    307 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License
    308 by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions
    309 that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were
    310 included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable
    311 law.  If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part
    312 may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains
    313 governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.
    314 
    315 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any
    316 additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it.  (Additional
    317 permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when
    318 you modify the work.)  You may place additional permissions on material, added
    319 by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
    320 permission.
    321 
    322 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a
    323 covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material)
    324 supplement the terms of this License with terms:
    325 
    326     a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of
    327        sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
    328 
    329     b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author
    330        attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices
    331        displayed by works containing it; or
    332 
    333     c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
    334        requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
    335        reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
    336 
    337     d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors
    338        of the material; or
    339 
    340     e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade
    341        names, trademarks, or service marks; or
    342 
    343     f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by
    344        anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with
    345        contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability
    346        that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors
    347        and authors.
    348 
    349 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions"
    350 within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you received it, or any
    351 part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along
    352 with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term.  If a
    353 license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or
    354 conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed
    355 by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction
    356 does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
    357 
    358 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place,
    359 in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply
    360 to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.
    361 
    362 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
    363 separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements
    364 apply either way.
    365 
    366 8. Termination.
    367 
    368 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided
    369 under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void,
    370 and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any
    371 patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
    372 
    373 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a
    374 particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until
    375 the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b)
    376 permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by
    377 some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
    378 
    379 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated
    380 permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some
    381 reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation
    382 of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the
    383 violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
    384 
    385 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses
    386 of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License.
    387 If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not
    388 qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.
    389 
    390 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
    391 
    392 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy
    393 of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a
    394 consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does
    395 not require acceptance.  However, nothing other than this License grants you
    396 permission to propagate or modify any covered work.  These actions infringe
    397 copyright if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or
    398 propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to
    399 do so.
    400 
    401 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
    402 
    403 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a
    404 license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work,
    405 subject to this License.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
    406 third parties with this License.
    407 
    408 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
    409 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
    410 organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered work
    411 results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives
    412 a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's
    413 predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a
    414 right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the
    415 predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with
    416 reasonable efforts.
    417 
    418 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights
    419 granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may not impose a
    420 license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this
    421 License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or
    422 counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by
    423 making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any
    424 portion of it.
    425 
    426 11. Patents.
    427 
    428 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of
    429 the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The work thus licensed is
    430 called the contributor's "contributor version".
    431 
    432 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or
    433 controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired,
    434 that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making,
    435 using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would
    436 be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor
    437 version.  For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to
    438 grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this
    439 License.
    440 
    441 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent
    442 license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell,
    443 offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of
    444 its contributor version.
    445 
    446 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement
    447 or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express
    448 permission to practice a patent or covenant not to s ue for patent
    449 infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an
    450 agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
    451 
    452 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
    453 Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of
    454 charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available
    455 network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either
    456 (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to
    457 deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work,
    458 or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License,
    459 to extend the patent license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying"
    460 means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your
    461 conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the
    462 covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in
    463 that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
    464 
    465 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you
    466 convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a
    467 patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing
    468 them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work,
    469 then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients
    470 of the covered work and works based on it.
    471 
    472 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of
    473 its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise
    474 of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License.
    475 You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a
    476 third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you
    477 make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of
    478 conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
    479 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
    480 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or
    481 copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with
    482 specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you
    483 entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to
    484 28 March 2007.
    485 
    486 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied
    487 license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to
    488 you under applicable patent law.
    489 
    490 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
    491 
    492 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    493 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse
    494 you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a covered work
    495 so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any
    496 other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at
    497 all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty
    498 for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way
    499 you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain
    500 entirely from conveying the Program.
    501 
    502 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
    503 
    504 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program,
    505 your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it
    506 remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction)
    507 an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing
    508 access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through
    509 some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software.  This
    510 Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work
    511 covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated
    512 pursuant to the following paragraph.
    513 
    514 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to
    515 link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the
    516 GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the
    517 resulting work.  The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part
    518 which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain
    519 governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
    520 
    521 14. Revised Versions of this License.
    522 
    523 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU
    524 Affero General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be
    525 similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address
    526 new problems or concerns.
    527 
    528 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
    529 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General Public
    530 License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of
    531 following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any
    532 later version published by the Free Software Foundation.  If the Program does
    533 not specify a version number of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may
    534 choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
    535 
    536 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the
    537 GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement
    538 of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version
    539 for the Program.
    540 
    541 Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
    542 However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright
    543 holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
    544 
    545 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
    546 
    547 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
    548 LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
    549 OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
    550 EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
    551 WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE
    552 ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.
    553 SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
    554 SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
    555 
    556 16. Limitation of Liability.
    557 
    558 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY
    559 COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS
    560 PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
    561 INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE
    562 THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
    563 INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
    564 PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
    565 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    566 
    567 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
    568 
    569 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot
    570 be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall
    571 apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil
    572 liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of
    573 liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.
    574 
    575 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    576 
    577 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
    578 
    579 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
    580 use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
    581 which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
    582 
    583 To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach
    584 them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion
    585 of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
    586 pointer to where the full notice is found.
    587 
    588      <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    589      Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
    590 
    591      This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it
    592      under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
    593      the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at
    594      your option) any later version.
    595 
    596      This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but
    597      WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY
    598      or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU Affero General Public
    599      License for more details.
    600 
    601      You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
    602      along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
    603 
    604 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
    605 
    606 If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer network,
    607 you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to get its source.
    608 For example, if your program is a web application, its interface could display
    609 a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of the code.  There are many
    610 ways you could offer source, and different solutions will be better for
    611 different programs; see section 13 for the specific requirements.
    612 
    613 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if
    614 any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more
    615 information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see
    616 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
