   1  The Flowplayer Free version is released under the
   2  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3 (GPL).
   3  
   4  The GPL requires that you not remove the Flowplayer copyright notices
   5  from the user interface. See section 5.d below.
   6  
   7  Commercial licenses are available. The commercial player version
   8  does not require any Flowplayer notices or texts and also provides
   9  some additional features.

  12  
  13  ADDITIONAL TERM per GPL Section 7
  14  If you convey this program (or any modifications of it) and assume
  15  contractual liability for the program to recipients of it, you agree
  16  to indemnify Flowplayer, Ltd. for any liability that those contractual
  17  assumptions impose on Flowplayer, Ltd.
  18  
  19  Except as expressly provided herein, no trademark rights are granted in
  20  any trademarks of Flowplayer, Ltd. Licensees are granted a limited,
  21  non-exclusive right to use the mark Flowplayer and the Flowplayer logos
  22  in connection with unmodified copies of the Program and the copyright
  23  notices required by section 5.d of the GPL license. For the purposes
  24  of this limited trademark license grant, customizing the Flowplayer
  25  by skinning, scripting, or including PlugIns provided by Flowplayer, Ltd.
  26  is not considered modifying the Program.
  27  
  28  Licensees that do modify the Program, taking advantage of the open-source
  29  license, may not use the Flowplayer mark or Flowplayer logos and must
  30  change the fullscreen notice (and the non-fullscreen notice, if that
  31  option is enabled), the copyright notice in the dialog box, and the
  32  notice on the Canvas as follows:
  33  
  34  the full screen (and non-fullscreen equivalent, if activated) notice
  35  should read: "Based on Flowplayer source code"; in the context menu
  36  (right-click menu), the link to "About Flowplayer free version #.#.#"
  37  can remain. The copyright notice can remain, but must be supplemented with
  38  an additional notice, stating that the licensee modified the Flowplayer. 
  39  A suitable notice might read "Flowplayer Source code modified by ModOrg 2009";
  40  for the canvas, the notice should read "Based on Flowplayer source code".
  41  In addition, licensees that modify the Program must give the modified
  42  Program a new name that is not confusingly similar to Flowplayer and
  43  may not distribute it under the name Flowplayer.

  48                      GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  49                         Version 3, 29 June 2007
  50  
  51   Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
  52   Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  53   of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  54  
  55                              Preamble
  56  
  57    The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
  58  software and other kinds of works.
  59  
  60    The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
  61  to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
  62  the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
  63  share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
  64  software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
  65  GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
  66  any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
  67  your programs, too.
  68  
  69    When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  70  price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
  71  have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
  72  them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
  73  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
  74  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
  75  
  76    To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
  77  these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
  78  certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
  79  you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
  80  
  81    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
  82  gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
  83  freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
  84  or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
  85  know their rights.
  86  
  87    Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
  88  (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
  89  giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
  90  
  91    For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
  92  that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
  93  authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
  94  changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
  95  authors of previous versions.
  96  
  97    Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
  98  modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
  99  can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
 100  protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
 101  pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
 102  use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
 103  have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
 104  products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
 105  stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
 106  of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
 107  
 108    Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
 109  States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
 110  software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
 111  avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
 112  make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
 113  patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
 114  
 115    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 116  modification follow.
 117  
 118                         TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 119  
 120    0. Definitions.
 121  
 122    "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
 123  
 124    "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
 125  works, such as semiconductor masks.
 126  
 127    "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
 128  License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
 129  "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
 130  
 131    To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
 132  in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
 133  exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
 134  earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
 135  
 136    A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
 137  on the Program.
 138  
 139    To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
 140  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
 141  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
 142  computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
 143  distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
 144  public, and in some countries other activities as well.
 145  
 146    To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
 147  parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
 148  a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
 149  
 150    An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
 151  to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
 152  feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
 153  tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
 154  extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
 155  work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
 156  the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
 157  menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
 158  
 159    1. Source Code.
 160  
 161    The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
 162  for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
 163  form of a work.
 164  
 165    A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
 166  standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
 167  interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
 168  is widely used among developers working in that language.
 169  
 170    The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
 171  than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
 172  packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
 173  Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
 174  Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
 175  implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
 176  "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
 177  (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
 178  (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
 179  produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
 180  
 181    The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
 182  the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
 183  work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
 184  control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
 185  System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
 186  programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
 187  which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
 188  includes interface definition files associated with source files for
 189  the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
 190  linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
 191  such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
 192  subprograms and other parts of the work.
 193  
 194    The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
 195  can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
 196  Source.
 197  
 198    The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
 199  same work.
 200  
 201    2. Basic Permissions.
 202  
 203    All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
 204  copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
 205  conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
 206  permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
 207  covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
 208  content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
 209  rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
 210  
 211    You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
 212  convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
 213  in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
 214  of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
 215  with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
 216  the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
 217  not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
 218  for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
 219  and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
 220  your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
 221  
 222    Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
 223  the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
 224  makes it unnecessary.
 225  
 226    3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
 227  
 228    No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
 229  measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
 230  11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
 231  similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
 232  measures.
 233  
 234    When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
 235  circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
 236  is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
 237  the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
 238  modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
 239  users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
 240  technological measures.
 241  
 242    4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
 243  
 244    You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
 245  receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
 246  appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
 247  keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
 248  non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
 249  keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
 250  recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
 251  
 252    You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
 253  and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
 254  
 255    5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
 256  
 257    You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
 258  produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
 259  terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
 260  
 261      a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
 262      it, and giving a relevant date.
 263  
 264      b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
 265      released under this License and any conditions added under section
 266      7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
 267      "keep intact all notices".
 268  
 269      c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
 270      License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
 271      License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
 272      additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
 273      regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
 274      permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
 275      invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
 276  
 277      d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
 278      Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
 279      interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
 280      work need not make them do so.
 281  
 282    A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
 283  works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
 284  and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
 285  in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
 286  "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
 287  used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
 288  beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
 289  in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
 290  parts of the aggregate.
 291  
 292    6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
 293  
 294    You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
 295  of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
 296  machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
 297  in one of these ways:
 298  
 299      a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
 300      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
 301      Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
 302      customarily used for software interchange.
 303  
 304      b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
 305      (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
 306      written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
 307      long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
 308      model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
 309      copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
 310      product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
 311      medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
 312      more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
 313      conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
 314      Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
 315  
 316      c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
 317      written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
 318      alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
 319      only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
 320      with subsection 6b.
 321  
 322      d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
 323      place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
 324      Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
 325      further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
 326      Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
 327      copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
 328      may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
 329      that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
 330      clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
 331      Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
 332      Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
 333      available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
 334  
 335      e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
 336      you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
 337      Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
 338      charge under subsection 6d.
 339  
 340    A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
 341  from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
 342  included in conveying the object code work.
 343  
 344    A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
 345  tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
 346  or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
 347  into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
 348  doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
 349  product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
 350  typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
 351  of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
 352  actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
 353  is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
 354  commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
 355  the only significant mode of use of the product.
 356  
 357    "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
 358  procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
 359  and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
 360  a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
 361  suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
 362  code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
 363  modification has been made.
 364  
 365    If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
 366  specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
 367  part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
 368  User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
 369  fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
 370  Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
 371  by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
 372  if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
 373  modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
 374  been installed in ROM).
 375  
 376    The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
 377  requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
 378  for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
 379  the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
 380  network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
 381  adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
 382  protocols for communication across the network.
 383  
 384    Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
 385  in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
 386  documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
 387  source code form), and must require no special password or key for
 388  unpacking, reading or copying.
 389  
 390    7. Additional Terms.
 391  
 392    "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
 393  License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
 394  Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
 395  be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
 396  that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
 397  apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
 398  under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
 399  this License without regard to the additional permissions.
 400  
 401    When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
 402  remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
 403  it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
 404  removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
 405  additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
 406  for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
 407  
 408    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
 409  add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
 410  that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
 411  
 412      a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
 413      terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
 414  
 415      b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
 416      author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
 417      Notices displayed by works containing it; or
 418  
 419      c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
 420      requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
 421      reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
 422  
 423      d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
 424      authors of the material; or
 425  
 426      e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
 427      trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
 428  
 429      f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
 430      material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
 431      it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
 432      any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
 433      those licensors and authors.
 434  
 435    All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
 436  restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
 437  received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
 438  governed by this License along with a term that is a further
 439  restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
 440  a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
 441  License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
 442  of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
 443  not survive such relicensing or conveying.
 444  
 445    If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
 446  must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
 447  additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
 448  where to find the applicable terms.
 449  
 450    Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
 451  form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
 452  the above requirements apply either way.
 453  
 454    8. Termination.
 455  
 456    You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
 457  provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
 458  modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
 459  this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
 460  paragraph of section 11).
 461  
 462    However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
 463  license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
 464  provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
 465  finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
 466  holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
 467  prior to 60 days after the cessation.
 468  
 469    Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
 470  reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
 471  violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
 472  received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
 473  copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
 474  your receipt of the notice.
 475  
 476    Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
 477  licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
 478  this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
 479  reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
 480  material under section 10.
 481  
 482    9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
 483  
 484    You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
 485  run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
 486  occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
 487  to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
 488  nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
 489  modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
 490  not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
 491  covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
 492  
 493    10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
 494  
 495    Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
 496  receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
 497  propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
 498  for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
 499  
 500    An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
 501  organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
 502  organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
 503  work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
 504  transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
 505  licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
 506  give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
 507  Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
 508  the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
 509  
 510    You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
 511  rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
 512  not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
 513  rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
 514  (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
 515  any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
 516  sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
 517  
 518    11. Patents.
 519  
 520    A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
 521  License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
 522  work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
 523  
 524    A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
 525  owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
 526  hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
 527  by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
 528  but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
 529  consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
 530  purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
 531  patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
 532  this License.
 533  
 534    Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
 535  patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
 536  make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
 537  propagate the contents of its contributor version.
 538  
 539    In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
 540  agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
 541  (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
 542  sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
 543  party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
 544  patent against the party.
 545  
 546    If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
 547  and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
 548  to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
 549  publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
 550  then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
 551  available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
 552  patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
 553  consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
 554  license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
 555  actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
 556  covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
 557  in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
 558  country that you have reason to believe are valid.
 559  
 560    If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
 561  arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
 562  covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
 563  receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
 564  or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
 565  you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
 566  work and works based on it.
 567  
 568    A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
 569  the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
 570  conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
 571  specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
 572  work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
 573  in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
 574  to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
 575  the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
 576  parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
 577  patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
 578  conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
 579  for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
 580  contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
 581  or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
 582  
 583    Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
 584  any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
 585  otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
 586  
 587    12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
 588  
 589    If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
 590  otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
 591  excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
 592  covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
 593  License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
 594  not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
 595  to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
 596  the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
 597  License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
 598  
 599    13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
 600  
 601    Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
 602  permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
 603  under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
 604  combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
 605  License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
 606  but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
 607  section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
 608  combination as such.
 609  
 610    14. Revised Versions of this License.
 611  
 612    The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
 613  the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
 614  be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
 615  address new problems or concerns.
 616  
 617    Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
 618  Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
 619  Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
 620  option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
 621  version or of any later version published by the Free Software
 622  Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
 623  GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
 624  by the Free Software Foundation.
 625  
 626    If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
 627  versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
 628  public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
 629  to choose that version for the Program.
 630  
 631    Later license versions may give you additional or different
 632  permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
 633  author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
 634  later version.
 635  
 636    15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
 637  
 638    THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
 639  APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
 640  HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
 641  OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
 642  THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
 643  PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
 644  IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
 645  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 646  
 647    16. Limitation of Liability.
 648  
 649    IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
 650  WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
 651  THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
 652  GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
 653  USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
 654  DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
 655  PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
 656  EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
 657  SUCH DAMAGES.
 658  
 659    17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
 660  
 661    If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
 662  above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
 663  reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
 664  an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
 665  Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
 666  copy of the Program in return for a fee.
 667  
 668                       END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 669  
 670              How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
 671  
 672    If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
 673  possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
 674  free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
 675  
 676    To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
 677  to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
 678  state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
 679  the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
 680  
 681      <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
 682      Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
 683  
 684      This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
 685      it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 686      the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
 687      (at your option) any later version.
 688  
 689      This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
 690      but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
 691      MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
 692      GNU General Public License for more details.
 693  
 694      You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
 695      along with this program.  If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
 696  
 697  Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
 698  
 699    If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
 700  notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
 701  
 702      <program>  Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
 703      This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
 704      This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
 705      under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
 706  
 707  The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
 708  parts of the General Public License.  Of course, your program's commands
 709  might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
 710  
 711    You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
 712  if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
 713  For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
 714  <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
 715  
 716    The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
 717  into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you
 718  may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
 719  the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
 720  Public License instead of this License.  But first, please read
 721  <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>.
