+
+Preamble {#preamble .heading}
+--------
+
+The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software
+and other kinds of works.
+
+The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to
+take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the
+GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
+share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it remains free
+software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
+GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
+any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+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 {#terms-and-conditions .heading}
+--------------------
+
+1. **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.
+
+2. **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.
+
+3. **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.
+
+4. **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.
+
+5. **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.
+
+6. **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:
+
+ 1. The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+ it, and giving a relevant date.
+ 2. 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”.
+ 3. 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.
+ 4. 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.
+
+7. **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:
+
+ 1. 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.
+ 2. 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.
+ 3. 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.
+ 4. 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.
+ 5. 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.
+
+8. **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:
+
+ 1. Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+ 2. 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
+ 3. 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
+ 4. Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+ authors of the material; or
+ 5. Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+ trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+ 6. 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.
+
+9. **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.
+
+10. **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.
+
+11. **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.
+
+12. **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.
+
+13. **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.
+
+14. **Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.**
+
+ 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.
+
+15. **Revised Versions of this License.**
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+ 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.
+
+16. **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.
+
+17. **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

+
+18. **Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.**
+
+ If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided

+ 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 {#end-of-terms-and-conditions .heading}
+---------------------------
+
+How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs {#how-to-apply-these-terms-to-your-new-programs .heading}
+---------------------------------------------
+
+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.
+
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|   | ``` {.smallexample} |
+| | one line to give the program's name |
+| | and a brief idea of what it does. |
+| | Copyright (C) year name of author |
+| | |
+| | This program is free software: you c |
+| | an redistribute it and/or modify |
+| | it under the terms of the GNU Genera |
+| | l 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 h |
+| | ope that it will be useful, but |
+| | WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even t |
+| | he implied warranty of |
+| | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PAR |
+| | TICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU |
+| | General Public License for more deta |
+| | ils. |
+| | |
+| | You should have received a copy of t |
+| | he GNU General Public License |
+| | along with this program. If not, se |
+| | e http://www.gnu.org/licenses/. |
+| | ``` |
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice
+like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
+
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+|   | ``` {.smallexample} |
+| | program Copyright (C) year name of a |
+| | uthor |
+| | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY N |
+| | O WARRANTY; |
+| | for details type ‘show w’. This is |
+| | free software, |
+| | and you are welcome to redistribute |
+| | it under |
+| | certain conditions; type ‘show c’ fo |
+| | r details. |
+| | ``` |
++--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
+
+The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the
+appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, your
+program’s commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you would
+use an “about box”.
+
+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 GPL, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your
+program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
+library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
+applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
+GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License. But first,
+please read <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
