GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 3, 19 November 2007

Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. https://fsf.org/

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.

The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.

Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread use, become available for other developers to incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its source code to the public.

The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to provide the source code of the modified version running there to the users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source code of the modified version.

An older license, called the Affero General Public License and published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under this license.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

0. Definitions.

"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.

"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.

"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.

To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.

A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.

To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well.

To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.

An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.

1. Source Code.

The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work.

A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.

The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.

The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.

2. Basic Permissions.

All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.

You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.

Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.

3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.

No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.

When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures.

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

  • a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.

  • b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices".

  • c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.

  • d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.

6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.

You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:

  • a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.

  • b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.

  • c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.

  • d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.

  • e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.

A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.

A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product.

"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been made.

If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed in ROM).

The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.

Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.

7. Additional Terms.

"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions.

When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:

  • a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or

  • b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works containing it; or

  • c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different from the original version; or

  • d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors of the material; or

  • e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or

  • f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors.

All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.

If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms.

Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.

8. Termination.

You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).

However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.

Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.

Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10.

9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.

You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.

10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.

Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.

You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.

11. Patents.

A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".

A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.

Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.

In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.

If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.

If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.

A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.

Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.

12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.

If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.

13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public License.

14. Revised Versions of this License.

The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.

Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.

15. Disclaimer of Warranty.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. Limitation of Liability.

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.

If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright (C)

This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Affero General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License along with this program. If not, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the specific requirements.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see https://www.gnu.org/licenses/.

## Preamble
12
13
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
14
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
15
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
16
17
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
18
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
19
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
20
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains
21
free software for all its users.
22
23
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
24
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
25
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
26
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
27
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
28
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
29
30
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
31
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
32
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
33
and/or modify the software.
34
35
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
36
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
37
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
38
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
39
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
40
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
41
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
42
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
43
source code to the public.
44
45
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
46
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
47
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
48
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
49
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
50
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
51
code of the modified version.
52
53
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
54
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
55
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
56
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing
57
under this license.
58
59
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
60
modification follow.

62
## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
63
64
### 0. Definitions.
65
66
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
67
License.
68
69
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
70
of works, such as semiconductor masks.
71
72
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
73
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
74
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
75
76
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
77
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
78
an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of
79
the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
80
81
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
82
on the Program.
83
84
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
85
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
86
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
87
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
88
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
89
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
90
91
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
92
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
93
through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
94
conveying.
95
96
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to
97
the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
98
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
99
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
100
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
101
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
102
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
103
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
104
105
### 1. Source Code.
106
107
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
108
making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of
109
a work.
110
111
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
112
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
113
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
114
is widely used among developers working in that language.
115
116
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
117
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
118
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
119
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
120
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
121
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
122
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
123
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
124
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
125
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
126
127
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
128
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
129
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
130
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
131
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
132
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
133
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
134
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
135
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
136
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
137
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
138
subprograms and other parts of the work.
139
140
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
141
regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
142
143
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
144
work.
145
146
### 2. Basic Permissions.
147
148
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
149
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
150
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
151
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
152
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
153
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
154
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
155
156
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
157
without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
158
You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
159
them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
160
facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
161
terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
162
control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
163
you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
164
control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
165
copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
166
167
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
168
conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes
169
it unnecessary.
170
171
### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
172
173
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
174
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
175
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
176
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
177
measures.
178
179
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
180
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
181
circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
182
respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
183
operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
184
the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
185
circumvention of technological measures.
186
187
### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
188
189
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
190
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
191
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
192
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
193
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
194
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
195
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
196
197
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
198
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
199
200
### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
201
202
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
203
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
204
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
205
conditions:
206
207
- a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
208
it, and giving a relevant date.
209
- b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
210
released under this License and any conditions added under
211
section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4
212
to "keep intact all notices".
213
- c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
214
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
215
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
216
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
217
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
218
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
219
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
220
- d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
221
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
222
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
223
work need not make them do so.
224
225
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
226
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
227
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
228
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
229
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
230
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
231
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
232
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
233
parts of the aggregate.
234
235
### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
236
237
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
238
sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
239
Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
240
ways:
241
242
- a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
243
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
244
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
245
customarily used for software interchange.
246
- b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
247
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
248
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
249
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
250
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
251
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
252
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
253
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
254
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
255
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding
256
Source from a network server at no charge.
257
- c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
258
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
259
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
260
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
261
with subsection 6b.
262
- d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
263
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
264
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
265
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
266
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
267
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
268
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
269
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
270
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
271
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
272
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
273
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
274
- e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
275
provided you inform other peers where the object code and
276
Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
277
public at no charge under subsection 6d.
278
279
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
280
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
281
included in conveying the object code work.
282
283
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
284
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
285
family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
286
incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
287
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
288
coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
289
"normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
290
product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
291
in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
292
to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
293
whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
294
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
295
mode of use of the product.
296
297
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
298
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
299
install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
300
Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
301
information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
302
the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
303
solely because modification has been made.
304
305
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
306
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
307
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
308
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
309
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
310
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
311
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
312
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
313
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
314
been installed in ROM).
315
316
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
317
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
318
updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
319
recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
320
installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
321
itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
322
or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
323
network.
324
325
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
326
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
327
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
328
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
329
unpacking, reading or copying.
330
331
### 7. Additional Terms.
332
333
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
334
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
335
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
336
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
337
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
338
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
339
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
340
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
341
342
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
343
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
344
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
345
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
346
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
347
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
348
349
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
350
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
351
of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
352
353
- a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
354
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
355
- b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
356
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
357
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
358
- c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
359
or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
360
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
361
- d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
362
or authors of the material; or
363
- e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
364
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
365
- f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
366
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions
367
of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient,
368
for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly
369
impose on those licensors and authors.
370
371
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
372
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
373
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
374
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
375
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
376
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
377
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
378
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
379
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
380
381
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
382
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
383
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
384
where to find the applicable terms.
385
386
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
387
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
388
above requirements apply either way.
389
390
### 8. Termination.
391
392
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
393
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
394
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
395
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
396
paragraph of section 11).
397
398
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
399
from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
400
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
401
terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
402
fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
403
60 days after the cessation.
404
405
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
406
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
407
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
408
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
409
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
410
your receipt of the notice.
411
412
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
413
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
414
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
415
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
416
material under section 10.
417
418
### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
419
420
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
421
a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
422
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
423
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
424
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
425
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
426
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
427
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
428
429
### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
430
431
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
432
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
433
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
434
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
435
436
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
437
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
438
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
439
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
440
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
441
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
442
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
443
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
444
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
445
446
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
447
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
448
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
449
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
450
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
451
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
452
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
453
454
### 11. Patents.
455
456
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
457
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
458
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
459
460
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned
461
or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
462
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
463
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
464
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
465
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
466
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
467
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
468
this License.
469
470
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
471
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
472
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
473
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
474
475
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
476
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
477
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
478
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
479
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
480
patent against the party.
481
482
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
483
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
484
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
485
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
486
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
487
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
488
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
489
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
490
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
491
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
492
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
493
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
494
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
495
496
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
497
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
498
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
499
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
500
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
501
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
502
work and works based on it.
503
504
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the
505
scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
506
the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
507
granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
508
are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
509
business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
510
third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
511
work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
512
who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
513
license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
514
you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
515
connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
516
covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
517
license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
518
519
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
520
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
521
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
522
523
### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
524
525
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
526
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
527
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
528
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
529
this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
530
consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to
531
terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
532
from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
533
satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
534
from conveying the Program.

### 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
537
538
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
539
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
540
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your
541
version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the
542
Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the
543
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some
544
standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This
545
Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any
546
work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is
547
incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
548
549
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
550
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
551
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
552
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
553
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
554
but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
555
3 of the GNU General Public License.
556
557
### 14. Revised Versions of this License.
558
559
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
560
of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
561
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
562
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
563
564
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
565
specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
566
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
567
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
568
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
569
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
570
GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever
571
published by the Free Software Foundation.
572
573
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
574
of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
575
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
576
to choose that version for the Program.
577
578
Later license versions may give you additional or different
579
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
580
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
581
later version.
582
583
### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
584
585
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
586
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
587
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
588
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
589
LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
590
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
591
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
592
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
593
CORRECTION.
594
595
### 16. Limitation of Liability.
596
597
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
598
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
599
CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
600
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
601
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
602
NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
603
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
604
TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
605
PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
606
607
### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
608
609
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
610
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
611
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
612
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
613
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
614
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
615
616
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
617
618
## How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
619
620
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
621
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
622
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
623
terms.
624
625
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
626
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state
627
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
628
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
629
630
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
631
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
632
633
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
634
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as
635
published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the
636
License, or (at your option) any later version.
637
638
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
639
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
640
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
641
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
642
643
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
644
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
645
646
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
647
mail.
648
649
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
650
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
651
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
652
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
653
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
654
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for
655
the specific requirements.
656
657
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
658
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
659
necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply and follow
660
the GNU AGPL, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
