16 | <p>Preliminary notes:</p>
|
---|
17 |
|
---|
18 | <p style='text-align:justify'>1) The majority of the code in
|
---|
19 | the VirtualBox base package is licensed under the GNU General Public License,
|
---|
20 | version 3 (GPL). VirtualBox contains many components developed by Oracle and
|
---|
21 | various third parties. The license for each component is located in the
|
---|
22 | licensing documentation and/or in the component's source code.</p>
|
---|
23 |
|
---|
24 | <p style='text-align:justify'>2) As an exception to the reciprocal
|
---|
25 | license obligations of the GPL listed below, you may use any VirtualBox header
|
---|
26 | file that is marked by Oracle as licensed under both the GPL and the Common
|
---|
27 | Development and Distribution License version 1.0 (CDDL) to invoke the
|
---|
28 | unmodified VirtualBox libraries. In other words, calling such a multi-licensed
|
---|
29 | interface by dynamically linking to the unmodified VirtualBox libraries is
|
---|
30 | considered a normal use of VirtualBox and does not turn the calling code into a
|
---|
31 | derived work of VirtualBox. In particular, this applies to code that wants to
|
---|
32 | extend VirtualBox by way of the Extension Pack mechanism declared in the
|
---|
33 | ExtPack.h header file.</p>
|
---|
34 |
|
---|
35 | <p style='text-align:justify'>3) Whoever creates or distributes
|
---|
36 | a derived work based on VirtualBox is not obligated to grant the above
|
---|
37 | exceptions for such a version. The GPL permits you to release a modified
|
---|
38 | version without the above exception; in addition, Oracle hereby also allows you
|
---|
39 | to release a modified version which carries forward these exceptions.</p>

|
---|
52 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Everyone is permitted to copy and

53 | distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
|
---|
54 | allowed.</p>

55 |
|

56 | <p>Preamble</p>
|
---|
57 |
|
---|
58 | <p>The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license
|
---|
59 | for software and other kinds of works.</p>
|
---|
60 |
|
---|
61 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The licenses for most software
|
---|
62 | and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to share and
|
---|
63 | change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
|
---|
64 | guarantee your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make
|
---|
65 | sure it remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software
|
---|
66 | Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it
|
---|
67 | applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply
|
---|
68 | it to your programs, too.</p>
|
---|
69 |
|
---|
70 | <p style='text-align:justify'>When we speak of free software,
|
---|
71 | we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
|
---|
72 | designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
|
---|
73 | software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can
|
---|
74 | get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in
|
---|
75 | new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.</p>
|
---|
76 |
|
---|
77 | <p style='text-align:justify'>To protect your rights, we need
|
---|
78 | to prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to surrender the
|
---|
79 | rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies
|
---|
80 | of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom
|
---|
81 | of others.</p>
|
---|
82 |
|
---|
83 | <p style='text-align:justify'>For example, if you distribute
|
---|
84 | copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the
|
---|
85 | recipients the same freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they,
|
---|
86 | too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so
|
---|
87 | they know their rights.</p>
|
---|
88 |
|
---|
89 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Developers that use the GNU GPL
|
---|
90 | protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and
|
---|
91 | (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute
|
---|
92 | and/or modify it.</p>
|
---|
93 |
|
---|
94 | <p style='text-align:justify'>For the developers' and authors'
|
---|
95 | protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for this free
|
---|
96 | software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified
|
---|
97 | versions be marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed
|
---|
98 | erroneously to authors of previous versions.</p>
|
---|
99 |
|
---|
100 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Some devices are designed to deny
|
---|
101 | users access to install or run modified versions of the software inside them,
|
---|
102 | although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with
|
---|
103 | the aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
|
---|
104 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to use,
|
---|
105 | which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed
|
---|
106 | this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If such
|
---|
107 | problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this
|
---|
108 | provision to those domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect
|
---|
109 | the freedom of users.</p>
|
---|
110 |
|
---|
111 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Finally, every program is
|
---|
112 | threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents to
|
---|
113 | restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in
|
---|
114 | those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a
|
---|
115 | free program could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL
|
---|
116 | assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.</p>
|
---|
117 |
|
---|
118 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The precise terms and conditions
|
---|
119 | for copying, distribution and modification follow.</p>
|
---|
120 |
|
---|
121 | <p style='text-align:justify'>TERMS AND CONDITIONS</p>
|
---|
122 |
|
---|
123 | <p style='text-align:justify'>0. Definitions.</p>
|
---|
124 |
|
---|
125 | <p style='text-align:justify'>“This License” refers to version
|
---|
126 | 3 of the GNU General Public License.</p>
|
---|
127 |
|
---|
128 | <p style='text-align:justify'>“Copyright” also means
|
---|
129 | copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as semiconductor
|
---|
130 | masks.</p>
|
---|
131 |
|
---|
132 | <p style='text-align:justify'>“The Program” refers to any
|
---|
133 | copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is addressed as
|
---|
134 | “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or organizations.</p>
|
---|
135 |
|
---|
136 | <p style='text-align:justify'>To “modify” a work means to copy
|
---|
137 | from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring copyright
|
---|
138 | permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is
|
---|
139 | called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the
|
---|
140 | earlier work.</p>
|
---|
141 |
|
---|
142 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A “covered work” means either the
|
---|
143 | unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.</p>
|
---|
144 |
|
---|
145 | <p style='text-align:justify'>To “propagate” a work means to do
|
---|
146 | anything with it that, without permission, would make you directly or
|
---|
147 | secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except
|
---|
148 | executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
|
---|
149 | copying, distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
|
---|
150 | public, and in some countries other activities as well.</p>
|
---|
151 |
|
---|
152 | <p style='text-align:justify'>To “convey” a work means any kind
|
---|
153 | of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive copies. Mere
|
---|
154 | interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy,
|
---|
155 | is not conveying.</p>
|
---|
156 |
|
---|
157 | <p style='text-align:justify'>An interactive user interface
|
---|
158 | displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the extent that it includes a
|
---|
159 | convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate
|
---|
160 | copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work
|
---|
161 | (except to the extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey
|
---|
162 | the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the
|
---|
163 | interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a
|
---|
164 | prominent item in the list meets this criterion.</p>
|
---|
165 |
|
---|
166 | <p style='text-align:justify'>1. Source Code.</p>
|
---|
167 |
|
---|
168 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The “source code” for a work
|
---|
169 | means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. “Object
|
---|
170 | code” means any non-source form of a work.</p>
|
---|
171 |
|
---|
172 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A “Standard Interface” means an
|
---|
173 | interface that either is an official standard defined by a recognized standards
|
---|
174 | body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
|
---|
175 | language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.</p>
|
---|
176 |
|
---|
177 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The “System Libraries” of an
|
---|
178 | executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is
|
---|
179 | included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not
|
---|
180 | part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work
|
---|
181 | with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
|
---|
182 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major
|
---|
183 | Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window
|
---|
184 | system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the
|
---|
185 | executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code
|
---|
186 | interpreter used to run it.</p>
|
---|
187 |
|
---|
188 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The “Corresponding Source” for a
|
---|
189 | work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install,
|
---|
190 | and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work,
|
---|
191 | including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the
|
---|
192 | work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
|
---|
193 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are
|
---|
194 | not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface
|
---|
195 | definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code
|
---|
196 | for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is
|
---|
197 | specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or
|
---|
198 | control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.</p>
|
---|
199 |
|
---|
200 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The Corresponding Source need not
|
---|
201 | include anything that users can regenerate automatically from other parts of
|
---|
202 | the Corresponding Source.</p>
|
---|
203 |
|
---|
204 | <p style='text-align:justify'>The Corresponding Source for a
|
---|
205 | work in source code form is that same work.</p>
|
---|
206 |
|
---|
207 | <p style='text-align:justify'>2. Basic Permissions.</p>
|
---|
208 |
|
---|
209 | <p style='text-align:justify'>All rights granted under this
|
---|
210 | License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable
|
---|
211 | provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your
|
---|
212 | unlimited permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
|
---|
213 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its content,
|
---|
214 | constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use
|
---|
215 | or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.</p>
|
---|
216 |
|
---|
217 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may make, run and propagate
|
---|
218 | covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as your
|
---|
219 | license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for
|
---|
220 | the sole purpose of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or
|
---|
221 | provide you with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply
|
---|
222 | with the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
|
---|
223 | control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must
|
---|
224 | do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms
|
---|
225 | that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside
|
---|
226 | their relationship with you.</p>
|
---|
227 |
|
---|
228 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Conveying under any other
|
---|
229 | circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.
|
---|
230 | Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.</p>
|
---|
231 |
|
---|
232 | <p style='text-align:justify'>3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights
|
---|
233 | From Anti-Circumvention Law.</p>
|
---|
234 |
|
---|
235 | <p style='text-align:justify'>No covered work shall be deemed
|
---|
236 | part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law fulfilling
|
---|
237 | obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20
|
---|
238 | December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
|
---|
239 | measures.</p>
|
---|
240 |
|
---|
241 | <p style='text-align:justify'>When you convey a covered work,
|
---|
242 | you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological measures to
|
---|
243 | the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this
|
---|
244 | License with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to
|
---|
245 | limit operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
|
---|
246 | the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention
|
---|
247 | of technological measures.</p>
|
---|
248 |
|
---|
249 | <p style='text-align:justify'>4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.</p>
|
---|
250 |
|
---|
251 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may convey verbatim copies of
|
---|
252 | the Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
|
---|
253 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright
|
---|
254 | notice; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
|
---|
255 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep
|
---|
256 | intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a
|
---|
257 | copy of this License along with the Program.</p>
|
---|
258 |
|
---|
259 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may charge any price or no
|
---|
260 | price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or warranty
|
---|
261 | protection for a fee.</p>
|
---|
262 |
|
---|
263 | <p style='text-align:justify'>5. Conveying Modified Source
|
---|
264 | Versions.</p>
|
---|
265 |
|
---|
266 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may convey a work based on
|
---|
267 | the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in the form
|
---|
268 | of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of
|
---|
269 | these conditions:</p>
|
---|
270 |
|
---|
271 | <p style='text-align:justify'> a) The work must carry prominent notices
|
---|
272 | stating that you modified it, and giving a relevant date.</p>
|
---|
273 |
|
---|
274 | <p style='text-align:justify'> b) The work must carry prominent notices
|
---|
275 | stating that it is released under this License and any conditions added under
|
---|
276 | section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep
|
---|
277 | intact all notices”.</p>
|
---|
278 |
|
---|
279 | <p style='text-align:justify'> c) You must license the entire work, as a
|
---|
280 | whole, under this License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
|
---|
281 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional
|
---|
282 | terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are
|
---|
283 | packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any other
|
---|
284 | way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received
|
---|
285 | it.</p>
|
---|
286 |
|
---|
287 | <p style='text-align:justify'> d) If the work has interactive user
|
---|
288 | interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the
|
---|
289 | Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal
|
---|
290 | Notices, your work need not make them do so.</p>
|
---|
291 |
|
---|
292 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A compilation of a covered work
|
---|
293 | with other separate and independent works, which are not by their nature
|
---|
294 | extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to
|
---|
295 | form a larger program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium,
|
---|
296 | is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
|
---|
297 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what
|
---|
298 | the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does
|
---|
299 | not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.</p>
|
---|
300 |
|
---|
301 | <p style='text-align:justify'>6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.</p>
|
---|
302 |
|
---|
303 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may convey a covered work in
|
---|
304 | object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also
|
---|
305 | convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this
|
---|
306 | License, in one of these ways:</p>
|
---|
307 |
|
---|
308 | <p style='text-align:justify'> a) Convey the object code in, or embodied
|
---|
309 | in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied
|
---|
310 | by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used
|
---|
311 | for software interchange.</p>
|
---|
312 |
|
---|
313 | <p style='text-align:justify'> b) Convey the object code in, or embodied
|
---|
314 | in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied
|
---|
315 | by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you
|
---|
316 | offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone
|
---|
317 | who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for
|
---|
318 | all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable
|
---|
319 | physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more
|
---|
320 | than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or
|
---|
321 | (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.</p>
|
---|
322 |
|
---|
323 | <p style='text-align:justify'> c) Convey individual copies of the object
|
---|
324 | code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
|
---|
325 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you
|
---|
326 | received the object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b.</p>
|
---|
327 |
|
---|
328 | <p style='text-align:justify'> d) Convey the object code by offering
|
---|
329 | access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent
|

330 | access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
|
---|
331 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the Corresponding
|

332 | Source along with the object code. If the place to copy the object code is a
|
---|
333 | network server, the Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated
|
---|
334 | by you or a third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you
|
---|
335 | maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
|
---|
336 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source,
|
---|
337 | you remain obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to

338 | satisfy these requirements.</p>

349 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A “User Product” is either (1) a

351 | normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything
|

352 | designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a

353 | product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
|
---|
354 | coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally
|
---|
355 | used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of
|
---|
356 | the status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
|
---|
357 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product is a
|
---|
358 | consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial commercial,
|

364 | information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work
|

365 | in that User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
|
---|
366 | information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the
|

367 | modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
|
---|
368 | modification has been made.</p>

372 | the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession
|
---|
373 | and use of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or
|
---|
374 | for a fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
|

375 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the

399 | entire Program shall be treated as though they were included in this License,

404 |

406 | covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions from
|
---|
407 | that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to
|
---|
408 | require their own removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may
|

409 | place additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work, for
|

410 | which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.</p>
|

411 |
|
---|
412 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Notwithstanding any other provision
|
---|
413 | of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may (if authorized
|

414 | by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License
|

415 | with terms:</p>
|
---|
416 |
|

417 | <p style='text-align:justify'> a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting

428 | <p style='text-align:justify'> d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes

429 | of names of licensors or authors of the material; or</p>
|

430 |
|
---|
431 | <p style='text-align:justify'> e) Declining to grant rights under

433 |
|

434 | <p style='text-align:justify'> f) Requiring indemnification of licensors

435 | and authors of that material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified

436 | versions of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
|

439 |
|

440 | <p style='text-align:justify'>All other non-permissive
|
---|
441 | additional terms are considered “further restrictions” within the meaning of
|
---|
442 | section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a
|
---|
443 | notice stating that it is governed by this License along with a term that is a
|
---|
444 | further restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains a
|
---|
445 | further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License,
|
---|
446 | you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
|
---|
447 | document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such
|
---|
448 | relicensing or conveying.</p>
|
---|
449 |
|

450 | <p style='text-align:justify'>If you add terms to a covered

451 | work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant source files,
|

452 | a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice
|

453 | indicating where to find the applicable terms.</p>
|
---|
454 |
|
---|
455 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Additional terms, permissive or
|

456 | non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written license, or

457 | stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.</p>

459 | <p style='text-align:justify'>8. Termination.</p>
|
---|
460 |
|
---|
461 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may not propagate or modify a
|
---|
462 | covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
---|
463 | otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate
|
---|
464 | your rights under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the
|
---|
465 | third paragraph of section 11).</p>
|
---|
466 |
|
---|
467 | <p style='text-align:justify'>However, if you cease all
|
---|
468 | violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright holder
|
---|
469 | is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder
|
---|
470 | explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the
|
---|
471 | copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
|
---|
472 | prior to 60 days after the cessation.</p>
|
---|
473 |
|
---|
474 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Moreover, your license from a
|
---|
475 | particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright holder
|
---|
476 | notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time
|
---|
477 | you have received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
|
---|
478 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after your
|
---|
479 | receipt of the notice.</p>
|
---|
480 |
|
---|
481 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Termination of your rights under
|
---|
482 | this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have received
|
---|
483 | copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been
|
---|
484 | terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new
|
---|
485 | licenses for the same material under section 10.</p>
|

486 |

487 | <p style='text-align:justify'>9. Acceptance Not Required for
|
---|
488 | Having Copies.</p>
|

489 |
|
---|
490 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You are not required to accept
|
---|
491 | this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program. Ancillary
|
---|
492 | propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using
|
---|
493 | peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require
|
---|
494 | acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you permission to
|
---|
495 | propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you
|
---|
496 | do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered
|
---|
497 | work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.</p>
|
---|
498 |
|
---|
499 | <p style='text-align:justify'>10. Automatic Licensing of
|
---|
500 | Downstream Recipients.</p>
|
---|
501 |
|
---|
502 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Each time you convey a covered
|
---|
503 | work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
|
---|
504 | licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You
|
---|
505 | are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this
|
---|
506 | License.</p>
|
---|
507 |
|
---|
508 | <p style='text-align:justify'>An “entity transaction” is a
|
---|
509 | transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially all
|
---|
510 | assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If
|
---|
511 | propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to
|
---|
512 | that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
|
---|
513 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could give
|
---|
514 | under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding
|
---|
515 | Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it
|
---|
516 | or can get it with reasonable efforts.</p>
|
---|
517 |
|
---|
518 | <p style='text-align:justify'>You may not impose any further
|
---|
519 | restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under this
|
---|
520 | License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other
|
---|
521 | charge for exercise of rights granted under this License, and you may not
|
---|
522 | initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit)
|
---|
523 | alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering
|

524 | for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.</p>
|

526 | <p style='text-align:justify'>11. Patents.</p>
|
---|
527 |
|
---|
528 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A “contributor” is a copyright
|
---|
529 | holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a work on which
|
---|
530 | the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's
|
---|
531 | “contributor version”.</p>
|
---|
532 |
|
---|
533 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A contributor's “essential patent
|
---|
534 | claims” are all patent claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether
|
---|
535 | already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
|
---|
536 | permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor
|
---|
537 | version, but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
|
---|
538 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For purposes of
|
---|
539 | this definition, “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a
|
---|
540 | manner consistent with the requirements of this License.</p>
|
---|
541 |
|
---|
542 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Each contributor grants you a
|
---|
543 | non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the contributor's
|
---|
544 | essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and
|
---|
545 | otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.</p>
|
---|
546 |
|
---|
547 | <p style='text-align:justify'>In the following three
|
---|
548 | paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express agreement or commitment, however
|
---|
549 | denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice
|
---|
550 | a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a
|
---|
551 | patent license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to
|
---|
552 | enforce a patent against the party.</p>
|
---|
553 |
|
---|
554 | <p style='text-align:justify'>If you convey a covered work,
|
---|
555 | knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of the work
|
---|
556 | is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this
|
---|
557 | License, through a publicly available network server or other readily
|
---|
558 | accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be
|
---|
559 | so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent
|
---|
560 | license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with
|
---|
561 | the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream
|
---|
562 | recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for
|
---|
563 | the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient's
|
---|
564 | use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable
|
---|
565 | patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.</p>
|
---|
566 |
|
---|
567 | <p style='text-align:justify'>If, pursuant to or in connection
|
---|
568 | with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring
|
---|
569 | conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the
|
---|
570 | parties receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
|
---|
571 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license you
|
---|
572 | grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered work and works
|
---|
573 | based on it.</p>
|
---|
574 |
|
---|
575 | <p style='text-align:justify'>A patent license is
|
---|
576 | “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage,
|
---|
577 | prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more
|
---|
578 | of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. You may not
|
---|
579 | convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party
|
---|
580 | that is in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
|
---|
581 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work,
|
---|
582 | and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive
|
---|
583 | the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection
|
---|
584 | with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those
|
---|
585 | copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or
|
---|
586 | compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that
|
---|
587 | arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.</p>
|
---|
588 |
|
---|
589 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Nothing in this License shall be

592 | law.</p>

598 | (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions

599 | of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If
|
---|
600 | you cannot convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your
|
---|
601 | obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
|
---|
602 | consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms
|
---|
603 | that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom
|
---|
604 | you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and
|
---|
605 | this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.</p>

|
---|
626 |

627 | <p style='text-align:justify'>Each version is given a

630 | you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that

683 |

684 | <p style='text-align:justify'>If you develop a new program, and
|
---|
685 | you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to
|
---|
686 | achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and
|
---|
687 | change under these terms.</p>
|
---|
688 |
|
---|
689 | <p style='text-align:justify'>To do so, attach the following
|
---|
690 | notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source
|
---|
691 | file to most effectively state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
|
---|
692 | have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.</p>
