that include this file</p>

|
|
|
<p>Preliminary notes:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>1) The majority of the code in
|
|
the VirtualBox base package is licensed under the GNU General Public License,
|
|
version 3 (GPL). VirtualBox contains many components developed by Oracle and
|
|
various third parties. The license for each component is located in the
|
|
licensing documentation and/or in the component's source code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>2) As an exception to the reciprocal
|
|
license obligations of the GPL listed below, you may use any VirtualBox header
|
|
file that is marked by Oracle as licensed under both the GPL and the Common
|
|
Development and Distribution License version 1.0 (CDDL) to invoke the
|
|
unmodified VirtualBox libraries. In other words, calling such a multi-licensed
|
|
interface by dynamically linking to the unmodified VirtualBox libraries is
|
|
considered a normal use of VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a
|
|
derived work of VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to
|
|
extend VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the
|
|
ExtPack.h header file.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>3) Whoever creates or distributes
|
|
a derived work based on VirtualBox is not obligated to grant the above
|
|
exceptions for such a version. The GPL permits you to release a modified
|
|
version without the above exception; in addition, Oracle hereby also allows you
|
|
to release a modified version which carries forward these exceptions.</p>

<p>Version 3, 29 June 2007</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|
<https://fsf.org/></p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Everyone is permitted to copy and
|
|
distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
|
|
allowed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Preamble</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license
|
|
for software and other kinds of works.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>The licenses for most software
|
|
and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and
|
|
change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is 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. We, the Free Software
|
|
Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
|
|
applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply
|
|
it to your programs, too.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>To protect your rights, we need
|
|
to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the
|
|
rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies
|
|
of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom
|
|
of others.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>For example, if you distribute
|
|
copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the
|
|
recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they,
|
|
too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so
|
|
they know their rights.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Developers that use the GNU GPL
|
|
protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and
|
|
(2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
|
and/or modify it.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>For the developers' and authors'
|
|
protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free
|
|
software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified
|
|
versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed
|
|
erroneously to authors of previous versions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Some devices are designed to deny
|
|
users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them,
|
|
although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with
|
|
the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
|
|
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use,
|
|
which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed
|
|
this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such
|
|
problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this
|
|
provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect
|
|
the freedom of users.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Finally, every program is
|
|
threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to
|
|
restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in
|
|
those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a
|
|
free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
|
|
assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>The precise terms and conditions
|
|
for copying, distribution and modification follow.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>0. Definitions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>“This License” refers to version
|
|
3 of the GNU General Public License.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>“Copyright” also means
|
|
copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor
|
|
masks.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>“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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>A “covered work” means either the
|
|
unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>1. Source Code.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>The Corresponding Source need not
|
|
include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of
|
|
the Corresponding Source.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>The Corresponding Source for a
|
|
work in source code form is that same work.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>2. Basic Permissions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Conveying under any other
|
|
circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.
|
|
Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights
|
|
From Anti-Circumvention Law.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>5. Conveying Modified Source
|
|
Versions.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> a) The work must carry prominent notices
|
|
stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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”.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>“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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>7. Additional Terms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>“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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting
|
|
liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes
|
|
of names of licensors or authors of the material; or</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> e) Declining to grant rights under
|
|
trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'> 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>8. Termination.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>9. Acceptance Not Required for
|
|
Having Copies.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>10. Automatic Licensing of
|
|
Downstream Recipients.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>11. Patents.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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”.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>12. No Surrender of Others'
|
|
Freedom.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public
|
|
License.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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 Affero
|
|
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 special requirements of the GNU Affero
|
|
General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network
|
|
will apply to the combination as such.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>14. Revised Versions of this
|
|
License.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>The Free Software Foundation may
|
|
publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>Each version is given a
|
|
distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered
|
|
version of the GNU 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 General
|
|
Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
|
Foundation.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>If the Program specifies that a
|
|
proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU 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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>15. Disclaimer of Warranty.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>16. Limitation of Liability.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>17. Interpretation of Sections 15
|
|
and 16.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>

|
<p style='text-align:justify'>END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>How to Apply These Terms to Your
|
|
New Programs</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style='text-align:justify'>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.</p>
|
|
