---|
| 3 | placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms |
---|
| 4 | of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such |
---|
| 5 | program or work, and a |
---|
| 6 | “<span class="quote">work based on the Program |
---|
| 7 | </span>” means either |
---|
| 8 | the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a |
---|
| 9 | work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with |
---|
| 10 | modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation |
---|
| 11 | is included without limitation in the term |
---|
| 12 | “<span class="quote">modification |
---|
| 13 | </span>”.) Each licensee is addressed as “<span class="quote">you</span>”. |
---|
| 14 | </p><p> Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by |
---|
| 15 | this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not |
---|
| 16 | restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents |
---|
| 17 | constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running |
---|
| 18 | the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |

| 21 | publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; |
---|
| 22 | keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |

| 23 | warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |

---|
| 36 | in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be |
---|
| 37 | licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of |
---|
| 38 | this License. |

| 39 | </p></li><li><p> If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you |
---|
| 40 | must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most |
---|
| 41 | ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate |
---|
| 42 | copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying |
---|
| 43 | that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program |
---|
| 44 | under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |

| 53 | of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered |
---|
| 54 | independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, |
---|
| 55 | do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when |
---|
| 56 | you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the |
---|
| 57 | Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose |
---|
| 58 | permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and |
---|
| 59 | every part regardless of who wrote it. |
---|
| 60 | </p><p> Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights |
---|
| 61 | to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control |
---|
| 62 | the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. |
---|
| 63 | </p><p> In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program |
---|
| 64 | (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium |
---|
| 65 | does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. |

---|
| 87 | </p><p> The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications |

| 89 | it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control |
---|
| 90 | compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source |
---|
| 91 | code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or |
---|
| 92 | binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system |
---|
| 93 | on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. |
---|
| 94 | </p><p> If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a |

| 95 | designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place |
---|
| 96 | counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to |

| 97 | copy the source along with the object code. |

| 106 | else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. |
---|
| 107 | These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying |

| 109 | of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or |

| 114 | the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions |

| 119 | reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, |

| 120 | agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you |

| 121 | from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously |
---|
| 122 | your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence |
---|
| 123 | you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit |
---|
| 124 | royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or |
---|
| 125 | indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be |

---|
| 132 | protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public |
---|
| 133 | license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software |
---|
| 134 | distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up |
---|
| 135 | to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other |
---|
| 136 | system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. |
