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

25 ## Preamble
26
27 The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
28 software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
29 cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
30
31 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
32 to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
33 our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
34 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains
35 free software for all its users.
36
37 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
38 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
39 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
40 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
41 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
42 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
43
44 Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
45 with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
46 you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
47 and/or modify the software.
48
49 A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
50 improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
51 receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
52 incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
53 encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
54 software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
55 The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
56 letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
57 source code to the public.
58
59 The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
60 ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
61 to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
62 provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
63 users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
64 a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
65 code of the modified version.
66
67 An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
68 published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
69 a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
70 released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing
71 under this license.
72
73 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
74 modification follow.
75
76 ## TERMS AND CONDITIONS
77
78 ### 0. Definitions.
79
80 "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
81 License.
82
83 "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
84 of works, such as semiconductor masks.
85
86 "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
87 License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
88 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
89
90 To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
91 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
92 an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of
93 the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
94
95 A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
96 on the Program.
97
98 To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
99 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
100 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
101 computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
102 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
103 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
104
105 To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
106 parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
107 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
108 conveying.
109
110 An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to
111 the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
112 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
113 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
114 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
115 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
116 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
117 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
118
119 ### 1. Source Code.
120
121 The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
122 making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of
123 a work.
124
125 A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
126 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
127 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
128 is widely used among developers working in that language.
129
130 The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
131 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
132 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
133 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
134 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
135 implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
136 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
137 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
138 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
139 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
140
141 The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
142 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
143 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
144 control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
145 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
146 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
147 which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
148 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
149 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
150 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
151 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
152 subprograms and other parts of the work.
153
154 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can
155 regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source.
156
157 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same
158 work.
159
160 ### 2. Basic Permissions.
161
162 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
163 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
164 conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
165 permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
166 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
167 content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
168 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
169
170 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey,
171 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force.
172 You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having
173 them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with
174 facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with the
175 terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do not
176 control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for
177 you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and
178 control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your
179 copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
180
181 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the
182 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes
183 it unnecessary.
184
185 ### 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
186
187 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
188 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
189 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
190 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
191 measures.
192
193 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
194 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
195 circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
196 respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
197 operation or modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against
198 the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid
199 circumvention of technological measures.
200
201 ### 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
202
203 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
204 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
205 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
206 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
207 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
208 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
209 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
210
211 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
212 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
213
214 ### 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
215
216 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
217 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
218 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
219 conditions:
220
221 - a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
222 it, and giving a relevant date.
223 - b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
224 released under this License and any conditions added under
225 section 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4
226 to "keep intact all notices".
227 - c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
228 License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
229 License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
230 additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
231 regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
232 permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
233 invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
234 - d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
235 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
236 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
237 work need not make them do so.
238
239 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
240 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
241 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
242 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
243 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
244 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
245 beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
246 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
247 parts of the aggregate.
248
249 ### 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
250
251 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
252 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable
253 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these
254 ways:
255
256 - a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
257 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
258 Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
259 customarily used for software interchange.
260 - b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
261 (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
262 written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
263 long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
264 model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
265 copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
266 product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
267 medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
268 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
269 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding
270 Source from a network server at no charge.
271 - c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
272 written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
273 alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
274 only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
275 with subsection 6b.
276 - d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
277 place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
278 Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
279 further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
280 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
281 copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
282 may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
283 that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
284 clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
285 Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
286 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
287 available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
288 - e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission,
289 provided you inform other peers where the object code and
290 Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general
291 public at no charge under subsection 6d.
292
293 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
294 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
295 included in conveying the object code work.
296
297 A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
298 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal,
299 family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for
300 incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
301 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of
302 coverage. For a particular product received by a particular user,
303 "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of
304 product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way
305 in which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected
306 to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of
307 whether the product has substantial commercial, industrial or
308 non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the only significant
309 mode of use of the product.
310
311 "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
312 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to
313 install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User
314 Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The
315 information must suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
316 the modified object code is in no case prevented or interfered with
317 solely because modification has been made.
318
319 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
320 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
321 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
322 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
323 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
324 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
325 by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
326 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
327 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
328 been installed in ROM).
329
330 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
331 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or
332 updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
333 recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or
334 installed. Access to a network may be denied when the modification
335 itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the network
336 or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the
337 network.
338
339 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
340 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
341 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
342 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
343 unpacking, reading or copying.
344
345 ### 7. Additional Terms.
346
347 "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
348 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
349 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
350 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
351 that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
352 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
353 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
354 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
355
356 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
357 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
358 it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
359 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
360 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
361 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
362
363 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
364 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders
365 of that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
366
367 - a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
368 terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
369 - b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
370 author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
371 Notices displayed by works containing it; or
372 - c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material,
373 or requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
374 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
375 - d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors
376 or authors of the material; or
377 - e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
378 trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
379 - f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
380 material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions
381 of it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient,
382 for any liability that these contractual assumptions directly
383 impose on those licensors and authors.
384
385 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
386 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
387 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
388 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
389 restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
390 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
391 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
392 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
393 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
394
395 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
396 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
397 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
398 where to find the applicable terms.
399
400 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
401 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the
402 above requirements apply either way.
403
404 ### 8. Termination.
405
406 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
407 provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
408 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
409 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
410 paragraph of section 11).
411
412 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license
413 from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
414 unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
415 terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder
416 fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means prior to
417 60 days after the cessation.
418
419 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
420 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
421 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
422 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
423 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
424 your receipt of the notice.
425
426 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
427 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
428 this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
429 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
430 material under section 10.
431
432 ### 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
433
434 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run
435 a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
436 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
437 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
438 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
439 modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
440 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
441 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
442
443 ### 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
444
445 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
446 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
447 propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
448 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
449
450 An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
451 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
452 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
453 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
454 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
455 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
456 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
457 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
458 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
459
460 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
461 rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
462 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
463 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
464 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
465 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
466 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
467
468 ### 11. Patents.
469
470 A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
471 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
472 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
473
474 A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned
475 or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
476 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
477 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
478 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
479 consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
480 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
481 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
482 this License.
483
484 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
485 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
486 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
487 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
488
489 In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
490 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
491 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
492 sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
493 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
494 patent against the party.
495
496 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
497 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
498 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
499 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
500 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
501 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
502 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
503 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
504 license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
505 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
506 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
507 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
508 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
509
510 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
511 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
512 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
513 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
514 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
515 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
516 work and works based on it.
517
518 A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the
519 scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on
520 the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically
521 granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you
522 are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the
523 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the
524 third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the
525 work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the parties
526 who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent
527 license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
528 you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in
529 connection with specific products or compilations that contain the
530 covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
531 license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
532
533 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
534 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
535 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
536
537 ### 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
538
539 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
540 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
541 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
542 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
543 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
544 consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to
545 terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying
546 from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you could
547 satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely
548 from conveying the Program.
549
550 ### 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
551
552 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
553 Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
554 interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your
555 version supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the
556 Corresponding Source of your version by providing access to the
557 Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge, through some
558 standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software. This
559 Corresponding Source shall include the Corresponding Source for any
560 work covered by version 3 of the GNU General Public License that is
561 incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
562
563 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
564 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
565 under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
566 combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
567 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
568 but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
569 3 of the GNU General Public License.
570
571 ### 14. Revised Versions of this License.
572
573 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
574 of the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new
575 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
576 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
577
578 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
579 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
580 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
581 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
582 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
583 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
584 GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever
585 published by the Free Software Foundation.
586
587 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
588 of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
589 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
590 to choose that version for the Program.
591
592 Later license versions may give you additional or different
593 permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
594 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
595 later version.
596
597 ### 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
598
599 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
600 APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
601 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
602 WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
603 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
604 A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
605 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
606 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR
607 CORRECTION.
608
609 ### 16. Limitation of Liability.
610
611 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
612 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
613 CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
614 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
615 ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT
616 NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
617 LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM
618 TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER
619 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
620
621 ### 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
622
623 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
624 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
625 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
626 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
627 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
628 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
