GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 

Version 3, 29 June 2007 

Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/> 

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

Preamble 

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 

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 a re 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 t hat 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 t o 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  a  n  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. 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. 

14. 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. 

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.
