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 are provided), that
licensees may convey the work under this License,
and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface
presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
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
