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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
