The document will be periodically updated with recent changes and test-cases allowing us to more strictly + follow the required guidelines and make our product fully accessible. + </para> + <para> + Our application is based on Qt5, a powerful cross-platform library which allows to visualize various user interface ideas + the most flexible and native way. This also means that the library we use is responsible for many navigation and + accessibility aspects (like fonts, size hints, colors, look&feel patterns and many other things), but not for all of + them.

For example, the RDP server, which can deliver the + graphical output of a VM remotely to an RDP client, is a separate module + that is only loosely tacked into the virtual graphics device. Live + Migration and Resource Monitor are additional modules currently in the + process of being added to VirtualBox.</para> + + <para>What is primarily of interest for purposes of the SDK is the API + layer block that sits on top of all the previously mentioned blocks. + This API, which we call the <emphasis role="bold">"Main API"</emphasis>, + exposes the entire feature set of the virtualization engine below. It is + completely documented in this SDK Reference -- see <xref + linkend="sdkref_classes"/> and <xref linkend="sdkref_enums"/> -- and + available to anyone who wishes to control VirtualBox programmatically. + We chose the name "Main API" to differentiate it from other programming + interfaces of VirtualBox that may be publicly accessible.</para> + + <para>With the Main API, you can create, configure, start, stop and + delete virtual machines, retrieve performance statistics about running + VMs, configure the VirtualBox installation in general, and more. In + fact, internally, the front-end programs + <computeroutput>VirtualBox</computeroutput> and + <computeroutput>VBoxManage</computeroutput> use nothing but this API as + well -- there are no hidden backdoors into the virtualization engine for + our own front-ends.

The web + service ships in a stand-alone executable + (<computeroutput>vboxwebsrv</computeroutput>) that, when running, + acts as an HTTP server, accepts SOAP connections and processes + them.</para> + + <para>Since the entire web service API is publicly described in a + web service description file (in WSDL format), you can write + client programs that call the web service in any language with a + toolkit that understands WSDL. These days, that includes most + programming languages that are available: Java, C++, .NET, PHP, + Python, Perl and probably many more.</para> + + <para>All of this is explained in detail in subsequent chapters of + this book.</para> + + <para>There are two ways in which you can write client code that + uses the web service:<orderedlist> + <listitem> + <para>For Java as well as Python, the SDK contains + easy-to-use classes that allow you to use the web service in + an object-oriented, straightforward manner. We shall refer + to this as the <emphasis role="bold">"object-oriented web + service (OOWS)"</emphasis>.</para> + + <para>The OO bindings for Java are described in <xref + linkend="javaapi"/>, those for Python in <xref + linkend="glue-python-ws"/>.</para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para>Alternatively, you can use the web service directly, + without the object-oriented client layer. We shall refer to + this as the <emphasis role="bold">"raw web + service"</emphasis>.</para> + + <para>You will then have neither native object orientation + nor full type safety, since web services are neither + object-oriented nor stateful. However, in this way, you can + write client code even in languages for which we do not ship + object-oriented client code; all you need is a programming + language with a toolkit that can parse WSDL and generate + client wrapper code from it.</para> + + <para>We describe this further in <xref + linkend="raw-webservice"/>, with samples for Java and + Perl.</para> + </listitem> + </orderedlist></para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para>Internally, for portability and easier maintenance, the Main + API is implemented using the <emphasis role="bold">Component + Object Model (COM), </emphasis> an interprocess mechanism for + software components originally introduced by Microsoft for + Microsoft Windows. On a Windows host, VirtualBox will use + Microsoft COM; on other hosts where COM is not present, it ships + with XPCOM, a free software implementation of COM originally + created by the Mozilla project for their browsers.</para> + + <para>So, if you are familiar with COM and the C++ programming + language (or with any other programming language that can handle + COM/XPCOM objects, such as Java, Visual Basic or C#), then you can + use the COM/XPCOM API directly.

For an introduction, please see <xref + linkend="api_com"/> below.</para> + + <para>The VirtualBox front-ends (the graphical user interfaces as + well as the command line), which are all written in C++, use + COM/XPCOM to call the Main API.

However, while these previous + technologies relied on specific binary protocols and thus proved to + be difficult to use between diverging platforms, web services + circumvent these incompatibilities by using text-only standards like + HTTP and XML. On the downside (and, one could say, typical of things + related to XML), a lot of standards are involved before a web + service can be implemented. Many of the standards invented around + XML are used one way or another. As a result, web services are slow + and verbose, and the details can be incredibly messy. The relevant + standards here are called SOAP and WSDL, where SOAP describes the + format of the messages that are exchanged (an XML document wrapped + in an HTTP header), and WSDL is an XML format that describes a + complete API provided by a web service. WSDL in turn uses XML Schema + to describe types, which is not exactly terse either. However, as + you will see from the samples provided in this chapter, the + VirtualBox web service shields you from these details and is easy to + use.</para> + </footnote></para> + + <para>In order to successfully use a web service, a number of things are + required -- primarily, a web service accepting connections; service + descriptions; and then a client that connects to that web service. The + connections are governed by the SOAP standard, which describes how + messages are to be exchanged between a service and its clients; the + service descriptions are governed by WSDL.</para> + + <para>In the case of VirtualBox, this translates into the following + three components:<orderedlist> + <listitem> + <para>The VirtualBox web service (the "server"): this is the + <computeroutput>vboxwebsrv</computeroutput> executable shipped + with VirtualBox. Once you start this executable (which acts as a + HTTP server on a specific TCP/IP port), clients can connect to the + web service and thus control a VirtualBox installation.</para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para>VirtualBox also comes with WSDL files that describe the + services provided by the web service.

This is + how the GUI can automatically refresh its display even if you manipulate + a machine from another client, for example, from VBoxManage.</para> + + <para>To register an event listener to listen to events, use code like + this:<screen>EventSource es = console.getEventSource(); +IEventListener listener = es.createListener(); +VBoxEventType aTypes[] = (VBoxEventType.OnMachineStateChanged); + // list of event types to listen for +es.registerListener(listener, aTypes, false /* active */); + // register passive listener +IEvent ev = es.getEvent(listener, 1000); + // wait up to one second for event to happen +if (ev != null) +{ + // downcast to specific event interface (in this case we have only registered + // for one type, otherwise IEvent::type would tell us) + IMachineStateChangedEvent mcse = IMachineStateChangedEvent.queryInterface(ev); + ... // inspect and do something + es.eventProcessed(listener, ev); +} +... +es.unregisterListener(listener); </screen></para> + + <para>A graphical user interface would probably best start its own + thread to wait for events and then process these in a loop.</para> + + <para>The events mechanism was introduced with VirtualBox 3.3 and + replaces various callback interfaces which were called for each event in + the interface. The callback mechanism was not compatible with scripting + languages, local Java bindings and remote web services as they do not + support callbacks. The new mechanism with events and event listeners + works with all of these.</para> + + <para>To simplify developement of application using events, concept of + event aggregator was introduced. Essentially it's mechanism to aggregate + multiple event sources into single one, and then work with this single + aggregated event source instead of original sources. As an example, one + can evaluate demo recorder in VirtualBox Python shell, shipped with SDK + - it records mouse and keyboard events, represented as separate event + sources. Code is essentially like this:<screen> + listener = console.eventSource.createListener() + agg = console.eventSource.createAggregator([console.keyboard.eventSource, console.mouse.eventSource]) + agg.registerListener(listener, [ctx['global'].constants.VBoxEventType_Any], False) + registered = True + end = time.time() + dur + while time.time() < end: + ev = agg.getEvent(listener, 1000) + processEent(ev) + agg.unregisterListener(listener)</screen> Without using aggregators + consumer have to poll on both sources, or start multiple threads to + block on those sources.</para> + </sect1> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="vboxshell"> + <title>The VirtualBox shell</title> + + <para>VirtualBox comes with an extensible shell, which allows you to + control your virtual machines from the command line.

As a result, the differencing + images can form a complex tree with parents, siblings, and + children, depending on how complex your machine configuration is. + Write operations always go to the one <emphasis>active</emphasis> + differencing image that is attached to the machine, and for read + operations, &product-name; may need to look up all the parents in + the chain until the sector in question is found.

The main advantage of this is speed: when the + guest OS writes to disk and the host OS cache uses delayed + writing, the write operation can be reported as completed to the + guest OS quickly while the host OS can perform the operation + asynchronously. Also, when you start a VM a second time and have + enough memory available for the OS to use for caching, large parts + of the virtual disk may be in system memory, and the VM can access + the data much faster. + </para> + + <para> + Note that this applies only to image files.

For example, on Linux hosts, host caching may result in + Linux delaying all writes until the host cache is nearly full + and then writing out all these changes at once, possibly + stalling VM execution for minutes.

There are four privilege + levels, called rings, and the same instruction set is + supported, with the addition of several virtualization + specific instruction. Root mode is what a host operating + system without virtualization uses, and it is also used by a + hypervisor when virtualization is active. + </para> + </listitem> + + <listitem> + <para> + In non-root mode, CPU operation is significantly different. + There are still four privilege rings and the same instruction + set, but a new structure called VMCS (Virtual Machine Control + Structure) now controls the CPU operation and determines how + certain instructions behave. Non-root mode is where guest + systems run. + </para> + </listitem> + + </itemizedlist> + + <para> + Switching from root mode to non-root mode is called "VM entry", + the switch back is "VM exit". The VMCS includes a guest and host + state area which is saved/restored at VM entry and exit. Most + importantly, the VMCS controls which guest operations will cause + VM exits. + </para> + + <para> + The VMCS provides fairly fine-grained control over what the guests + can and cannot do. For example, a hypervisor can allow a guest to + write certain bits in shadowed control registers, but not others. + This enables efficient virtualization in cases where guests can be + allowed to write control bits without disrupting the hypervisor, + while preventing them from altering control bits over which the + hypervisor needs to retain full control. The VMCS also provides + control over interrupt delivery and exceptions. + </para> + + <para> + Whenever an instruction or event causes a VM exit, the VMCS + contains information about the exit reason, often with + accompanying detail. For example, if a write to the CR0 register + causes an exit, the offending instruction is recorded, along with + the fact that a write access to a control register caused the + exit, and information about source and destination register. Thus + the hypervisor can efficiently handle the condition without + needing advanced techniques such as CSAM and PATM described above. + </para> + + <para> + VT-x inherently avoids several of the problems which software + virtualization faces. The guest has its own completely separate + address space not shared with the hypervisor, which eliminates + potential clashes. Additionally, guest OS kernel code runs at + privilege ring 0 in VMX non-root mode, obviating the problems by + running ring 0 code at less privileged levels. For example the + SYSENTER instruction can transition to ring 0 without causing + problems. Naturally, even at ring 0 in VMX non-root mode, any I/O + access by guest code still causes a VM exit, allowing for device + emulation. + </para> + + <para> + The biggest difference between VT-x and AMD-V is that AMD-V + provides a more complete virtualization environment. VT-x requires + the VMX non-root code to run with paging enabled, which precludes + hardware virtualization of real-mode code and non-paged + protected-mode software. This typically only includes firmware and + OS loaders, but nevertheless complicates VT-x hypervisor + implementation. AMD-V does not have this restriction. + </para> + + <para> + Of course hardware virtualization is not perfect. Compared to + software virtualization, the overhead of VM exits is relatively + high. This causes problems for devices whose emulation requires + high number of traps. One example is a VGA device in 16-color + mode, where not only every I/O port access but also every access + to the framebuffer memory must be trapped. + </para> + + </sect1> + + <sect1 id="gimproviders"> + + <title>Paravirtualization Providers</title> + + <para> + &product-name; enables the exposure of a paravirtualization + interface, to facilitate accurate and efficient execution of + software within a virtual machine.

By contrast, the GNU General + Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share + and change free software--to make sure the software is free for + all its users. This General Public License applies to most of + the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program + whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software + Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public + License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. + </para> + + <para> + 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 this service 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. + </para> + + <para> + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid + anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the + rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities + for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you + modify it. + </para> + + <para> + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether + gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights + that you have. 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. + </para> + + <para> + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the + software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal + permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. + </para> + + <para> + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make + certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for + this free software. If the software is modified by someone else + and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they + have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by + others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. + </para> + + <para> + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software + patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a + free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect + making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it + clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use + or not licensed at all. + </para> + + <para> + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and + modification follow. + </para> + + <para> + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, + DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + </para> + + <para> + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which + contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may + be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. + The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a + "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any + derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work + containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or + with modifications and/or translated into another language. + (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the + term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". + </para> + + <para> + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are + not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act + of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from + the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work + based on the Program (independent of having been made by running + the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program + does. + </para> + + <para> + 1. You may copy and distribute 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 and disclaimer of warranty; keep + intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the + absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the + Program a copy of this License along with the Program. + </para> + + <para> + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a + copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in + exchange for a fee. + </para> + + <para> + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any + portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and + copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms + of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these + conditions: + </para> + + <para> + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + </para> + + <para> + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that + in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or + any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all + third parties under the terms of this License. + </para> + + <para> + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you + provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program + under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy + of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is + interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, + your work based on the Program is not required to print an + announcement.) + </para> + + <para> + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the + Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and + separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, + do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as + separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as + part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the + distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, + whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire + whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote + it. + </para> + + <para> + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or + contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the + intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of + derivative or collective works based on the Program. + </para> + + <para> + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the + Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) + on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring + the other work under the scope of this License. + </para> + + <para> + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on + it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the + terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of + the following: + </para> + + <para> + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of + Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software + interchange; or, + </para> + + <para> + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a + medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + </para> + + <para> + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the + offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative + is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you + received the program in object code or executable form with such + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) + </para> + + <para> + The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work + for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete + source code means all the source code for all modules it + contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus + the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the + executable. However, as a special exception, the source code + distributed need not include anything that is normally + distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major + components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system + on which the executable runs, unless that component itself + accompanies the executable. + </para> + + <para> + If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering + access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent + access to copy the source code from the same place counts as + distribution of the source code, even though third parties are + not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. + </para> + + <para> + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the + Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any + attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the + Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights + under this License. However, parties who have received copies, + or rights, from you under this License will not have their + licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full + compliance. + </para> + + <para> + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have + not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to + modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These + actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. + Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work + based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this + License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, + distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. + </para> + + <para> + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on + the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license + from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the + Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not + impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of + the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing + compliance by third parties to this License. + </para> + + <para> + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of + patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to + patent issues), 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 distribute so as to satisfy + simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other + pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not + distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license + would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by + all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, + then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License + would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + </para> + + <para> + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable + under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is + intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to + apply in other circumstances. + </para> + + <para> + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe + any patents or other property right claims or to contest + validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose + of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution + system, which is implemented by public license practices.

By contrast, the GNU General + Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share + and change free software--to make sure the software is free for + all its users. + </para> + + <para> + This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some + specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of + the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use + it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully + about whether this license or the ordinary General Public + License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, + based on the explanations below. + </para> + + <para> + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of + use, 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 this service if you wish); that you + receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can + change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; + and that you are informed that you can do these things. + </para> + + <para> + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid + distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender + these rights. These restrictions translate to certain + responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library + or if you modify it. + </para> + + <para> + For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether + gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights + that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or + can get the source code. If you link other code with the + library, you must provide complete object files to the + recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after + making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must + show them these terms so they know their rights. + </para> + + <para> + We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright + the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you + legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. + </para> + + <para> + To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that + there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library + is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should + know that what they have is not the original version, so that + the original author's reputation will not be affected by + problems that might be introduced by others. + </para> + + <para> + Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the + existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a + company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program + by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. + Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a + version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom + of use specified in this license. + </para> + + <para> + Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the + ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU + Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated + libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General + Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in + order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. + </para> + + <para> + When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or + using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally + speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. + The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such + linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of + freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax + criteria for linking other code with the library. + </para> + + <para> + We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because + it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary + General Public License. It also provides other free software + developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free + programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary + General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser + license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. + </para> + + <para> + For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to + encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that + it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free + programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent + case is that a free library does the same job as widely used + non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by + limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the + Lesser General Public License. + </para> + + <para> + In other cases, permission to use a particular library in + non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a + large body of free software. For example, permission to use the + GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to + use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the + GNU/Linux operating system. + </para> + + <para> + Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of + the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program + that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the + wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the + Library. + </para> + + <para> + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and + modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference + between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the + library". The former contains code derived from the library, + whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to + run. + </para> + + <para> + GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR + COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + </para> + + <para> + 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or + other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright + holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed + under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also + called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you". + </para> + + <para> + A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data + prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application + programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form + executables. + </para> + + <para> + The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or + work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based + on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work + under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the + Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with + modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another + language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without + limitation in the term "modification".) + </para> + + <para> + "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work + for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source + code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus + any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used + to control compilation and installation of the library. + </para> + + <para> + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are + not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act + of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and + output from such a program is covered only if its contents + constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use + of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true + depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses + the Library does. + </para> + + <para> + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's + complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided + that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an + appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep + intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the + absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License + along with the Library. + </para> + + <para> + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a + copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in + exchange for a fee. + </para> + + <para> + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any + portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and + copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms + of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these + conditions: + </para> + + <para> + a) The modified work must itself be a software library. + </para> + + <para> + b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. + </para> + + <para> + c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no + charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. + </para> + + <para> + d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or + a table of data to be supplied by an application program that + uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the + facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to + ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such + function or table, the facility still operates, and performs + whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. + </para> + + <para> + (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots + has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the + application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any + application-supplied function or table used by this function + must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the + square root function must still compute square roots.) + </para> + + <para> + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If + identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the + Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and + separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, + do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as + separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as + part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the + distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, + whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire + whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote + it. + </para> + + <para> + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or + contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the + intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of + derivative or collective works based on the Library. + </para> + + <para> + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the + Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) + on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring + the other work under the scope of this License. + </para> + + <para> + 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General + Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the + Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer + to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General + Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a + newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public + License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead + if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. + </para> + + <para> + Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for + that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to + all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. + </para> + + <para> + This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of + the Library into a program that is not a library. + </para> + + <para> + 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or + derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable + form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you + accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of + Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software + interchange. + </para> + + <para> + If distribution of object code is made by offering access to + copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to + copy the source code from the same place satisfies the + requirement to distribute the source code, even though third + parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the + object code. + </para> + + <para> + 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the + Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being + compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the + Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of + the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this + License. + </para> + + <para> + However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library + creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library + (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a + "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore + covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution + of such executables. + </para> + + <para> + When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header + file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work + may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source + code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if + the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is + itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not + precisely defined by law. + </para> + + <para> + If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data + structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small + inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of + the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is + legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object + code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section + 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you + may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of + Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under + Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the + Library itself. + </para> + + <para> + 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine + or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to + produce a work containing portions of the Library, and + distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that + the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own + use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. + </para> + + <para> + You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that + the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are + covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. + If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you + must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as + well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this + License. Also, you must do one of these things: + </para> + + <para> + a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding + machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever + changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under + Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable + linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable + "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, + so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to + produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. + (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of + definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to + recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) + </para> + + <para> + b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the + Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a + copy of the library already present on the user's computer + system, rather than copying library functions into the + executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified + version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the + modified version is interface-compatible with the version that + the work was made with. + </para> + + <para> + c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least + three years, to give the same user the materials specified in + Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of + performing this distribution. + </para> + + <para> + d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to + copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy + the above specified materials from the same place. + </para> + + <para> + e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these + materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. + </para> + + <para> + For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the + Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for + reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special + exception, the materials to be distributed need not include + anything that is normally distributed (in either source or + binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so + on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless + that component itself accompanies the executable. + </para> + + <para> + It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license + restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally + accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you + cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable + that you distribute. + </para> + + <para> + 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the + Library side-by-side in a single library together with other + library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute + such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution + of the work based on the Library and of the other library + facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do + these two things: + </para> + + <para> + a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work + based on the Library, uncombined with any other library + facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the + Sections above. + </para> + + <para> + b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact + that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining + where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. + </para> + + <para> + 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or + distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this + License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link + with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically + terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who + have received copies, or rights, from you under this License + will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties + remain in full compliance. + </para> + + <para> + 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have + not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to + modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These + actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. + Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work + based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this + License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, + distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. + </para> + + <para> + 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on + the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license + from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or + modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You + may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' + exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible + for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. + </para> + + <para> + 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of + patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to + patent issues), 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 distribute so as to satisfy + simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other + pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not + distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license + would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by + all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, + then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License + would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. + </para> + + <para> + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable + under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is + intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to + apply in other circumstances. + </para> + + <para> + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe + any patents or other property right claims or to contest + validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose + of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution + system which is implemented by public license practices.

You may distribute the + Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a + license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from + this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms + of this License and that the license for the Executable version + does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the + Source Code version from the rights set forth in this License. + If You distribute the Executable version under a different + license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which + differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the + Initial Developer or any Contributor.

HISTORY OF THE SOFTWARE + ========================== + </para> + + <para> + Python was created in the early 1990s by Guido van Rossum at + Stichting Mathematisch Centrum (CWI, see http://www.cwi.nl) in + the Netherlands as a successor of a language called ABC. Guido + remains Python's principal author, although it includes many + contributions from others. + </para> + + <para> + In 1995, Guido continued his work on Python at the Corporation + for National Research Initiatives (CNRI, see + http://www.cnri.reston.va.us) in Reston, Virginia where + he released several versions of the software. + </para> + + <para> + In May 2000, Guido and the Python core development team moved to + BeOpen.com to form the BeOpen PythonLabs team. In October of + the same year, the PythonLabs team moved to Digital Creations, + which became Zope Corporation. In 2001, the Python Software + Foundation (PSF, see https://www.python.org/psf/) was formed, a + non-profit organization created specifically to own + Python-related Intellectual Property. Zope Corporation was a + sponsoring member of the PSF. + </para> + + <para> + All Python releases are Open Source (see + http://www.opensource.org for the Open Source Definition). + Historically, most, but not all, Python releases have also been + GPL-compatible; the table below summarizes the various releases. + </para> + + <table id="Python-releases" tabstyle="oracle-all"> + <title>Python releases</title> + <tgroup cols="5" align="center"> + <thead> + <row> + <entry><para> + <emphasis role="bold">Release</emphasis> + </para></entry> + <entry><para> + <emphasis role="bold">Derived from</emphasis> + </para></entry> + <entry><para> + <emphasis role="bold">Year</emphasis> + </para></entry> + <entry><para> + <emphasis role="bold">Owner</emphasis> + </para></entry> + <entry><para> + <emphasis role="bold">GPL-compatible?

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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and + modification follow. + </para> + + <para> + TERMS AND CONDITIONS + </para> + + <para> + 0. Definitions. + </para> + + <para> + "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public + License. + </para> + + <para> + "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other + kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. + </para> + + <para> + "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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work + based on the Program. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 1. Source Code. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users + can regenerate automatically from other parts of the + Corresponding Source. + </para> + + <para> + The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that + same work. + </para> + + <para> + 2. Basic Permissions. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely + under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; + section 10 makes it unnecessary. + </para> + + <para> + 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. + </para> + + <para> + 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: + </para> + + <para> + a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you + modified it, and giving a relevant date. + </para> + + <para> + 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". + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. + </para> + + <para> + 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: + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + "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. + </para> + + <para> + 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). + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 7. Additional Terms. + </para> + + <para> + "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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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: + </para> + + <para> + a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from + the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or + </para> + + <para> + 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 + </para> + + <para> + 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 + </para> + + <para> + d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors + or authors of the material; or + </para> + + <para> + e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some + trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 8. Termination. + </para> + + <para> + 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). + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 11. Patents. + </para> + + <para> + 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". + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 14. Revised Versions of this License. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 16. Limitation of Liability. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. + </para> + + <para> + 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. + </para> + + <para> + Bison Exception + </para> + + <para> + As a special exception, you may create a larger work that + contains part or all of the Bison parser skeleton and distribute + that work under terms of your choice, so long as that work isn't + itself a parser generator using the skeleton or a modified + version thereof as a parser skeleton.

Earlier releases means anything with a lower number (e.g. +5.0.18 is lower than 5.1.2) which was released before this one. The log is +kept in the file doc/manual/user_ChangeLogImpl.xml. Anything worth mentioning, +particularly new features and fixed bugs, with a trac bug number if possible, +should be added to the top of the change log (that is, the section for the +upcoming release) for the branch in which it first appears - stable or +development - before the next release. If you back-port it to older branches +please add an entry there too. When a new major release is made, change log +sections for earlier releases are merged in. + +Change log sections are split into two groups: major new features (normally +only for dot zero releases) and fixes. In addition, the entries in each group +are ordered as follows: + + VMM-related entries (most important) + GUI-related entries (most visible for users) + Device-related entries + VBoxManage/API/Main-related entries + Host-related entries + Guest-related entries + BIOS/EFI/ACPI-related entries + +Please do further ordering as seems appropriate by importance and visibility for +users, e.g. audio before serial ports and generally Windows before Linux. Please +also try to describe the user impact, not the technical details, and only use +technical terms if no non-technical ones are clear enough. + +Rules for adding a changelog entry to make them look more uniform: + + 1. Begin the entry with an UPPERCASE letter, e.g. "Foo: Fixed" vs. "Foo: fixed" + 2. Use the past form of something, e.g. "Fixed ..." vs. "Fix ..." + 3. No dot (.) after the entry, e.g. "<para>Foo: Bar</para>" vs. "<para>Foo: Bar.</para>" + 4. Use TWO (2) spaces for indentation + 5. Use line breaks when hitting column 80 + + Full example: + + <listitem> + <para>Foo: Fixed something really important, really really long line + with lots more text not fitting into 80 columns</para> + </listitem> +--> +<chapter> + +<!-- HACK ALERT!
