To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
know their rights.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
authors of previous versions.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
0. Definitions.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
works, such as semiconductor masks.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
on the Program.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
1. Source Code.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
form of a work.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
is widely used among developers working in that language.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
subprograms and other parts of the work.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
Source.
|
LICENSE-GPL.scpt
|
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
