  Preamble
9
 
10
- The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
11
- software and other kinds of works.
 
 
12
 
13
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
14
- to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
15
- the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
16
- share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
17
- software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
18
- GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
19
- any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
20
- your programs, too.
21
 
22
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23
- price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24
  have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25
  them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
26
  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
27
  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28
 
29
- To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
30
- these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
31
- certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
32
- you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
33
-
34
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35
- gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
36
- freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
37
- or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
38
- know their rights.
39
-
40
- Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
41
- (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
42
- giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43
-
44
- For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
45
- that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
46
- authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
47
- changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
48
- authors of previous versions.
49
-
50
- Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
51
- modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
52
- can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
53
- protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
54
- pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
55
- use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
56
- have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
57
- products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
58
- stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
59
- of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
60
-
61
- Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
62
- States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
63
- software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
64
- avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
65
- make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
66
- patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

+ GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2
+ Version 3, 19 November 2007
3
 
4
  Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
5
  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

8
  Preamble
9
 
10
+ The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft
11
+ license for software and other kinds of works, specifically
12
+ designed to ensure cooperation with the community in the case of
13
+ network server software.
14
 
15
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
16
+ to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
17
+ our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
18
+ share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains
19
+ free software for all its users.
 
 
 
20
 
21
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22
+ price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23
  have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24
  them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
25
  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
26
  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
27
 
28
+ Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
29
+ with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
30
+ you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
31
+ modify the software.
32
+
33
+ A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that improvements
34
+ made in alternate versions of the program, if they receive widespread
35
+ use, become available for other developers to incorporate. Many developers
36
+ of free software are heartened by the knowledge that their work is helping
37
+ some bigger project and adding to the aggregate of free software.
38
+
39
+ For network server software, it is important to consider the source
40
+ code. The GNU General Public License allows users who run a modified
41
+ version of the program to make copies available to others. However,
42
+ often people running modified versions of the program on a network
43
+ server refuse to share the source code with the users of the server.
44
+ This refusal is a major problem in network server software.
45
+
46
+ The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
47
+ ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
48
+ to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
49
+ provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
50
+ users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on a
51
+ public server, gives the public access to the source code of the
52
+ modified version.
53
+
54
+ An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
55
+ published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
56
+ a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
57
+ released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
58
+ this license.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
59
 
60
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
61
  modification follow.
 
64
 
65
  0. Definitions.
66
 
67
+ "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General
68
+ Public License.
69
 
70
+ "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
71
+ kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks.
72
 
73
  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
74
+ License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
75
  "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
76
 
77
+ To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
78
+ work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making
79
+ of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of
80
+ the earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
81
 
82
  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
83
  on the Program.
 
85
  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
86
  permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
87
  infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
88
+ computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
89
  distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
90
  public, and in some countries other activities as well.
91
 
92
  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
93
+ parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
94
  a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
95
 
96
  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
 
98
  feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
99
  tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
100
  extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
101
+ work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
102
  the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
103
  menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
104
 
105
  1. Source Code.
106
 
107
  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
108
+ for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
109
  form of a work.
110
 
111
  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
 
118
  packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
119
  Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
120
  Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
121
+ implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
122
  "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
123
  (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
124
  (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
 
127
  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
128
  the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
129
  work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
130
+ control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
131
  System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
132
  programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
133
+ which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
134
  includes interface definition files associated with source files for
135
  the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
136
  linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
 
148
 
149
  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
150
  copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
151
+ conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
152
+ permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
153
  covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
154
+ content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
155
  rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
156
 
157
  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
158
  convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
159
+ in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
160
  of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
161
  with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
162
  the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
163
+ not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
164
  for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
165
  and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
166
  your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
167
 
168
  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
169
+ the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
170
  makes it unnecessary.
171
 
172
  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
 
202
 
203
  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
204
  produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
205
+ terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
206
+ conditions:
207
 
208
  a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
209
  it, and giving a relevant date.
210
 
211
  b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
212
  released under this License and any conditions added under section
213
+ 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
214
  "keep intact all notices".
215
 
216
  c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
217
+ License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
218
  License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
219
  additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
220
+ regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
221
  permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
222
  invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
223
 
 
232
  in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
233
  "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
234
  used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
235
+ beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
236
  in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
237
  parts of the aggregate.
238
 
239
  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
240
 
241
+ You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of
242
+ sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
243
  machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
244
  in one of these ways:
245
 
 
261
  Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
262
 
263
  c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
264
+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
265
  alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
266
  only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
267
  with subsection 6b.
 
269
  d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
270
  place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
271
  Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
272
+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
273
+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
274
  copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
275
  may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
276
  that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
277
  clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
278
+ Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
279
  Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
280
  available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
281
 
 
291
  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
292
  tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
293
  or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
294
+ into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
295
+ doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
296
  product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
297
  typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
298
  of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
299
+ actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
300
  is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
301
  commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
302
  the only significant mode of use of the product.
 
304
  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
305
  procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
306
  and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
307
+ a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
308
  suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
309
  code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
310
  modification has been made.
 
315
  User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
316
  fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
317
  Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
318
+ by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
319
  if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
320
  modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
321
  been installed in ROM).
 
323
  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
324
  requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
325
  for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
326
+ the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
327
  network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
328
  adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
329
  protocols for communication across the network.
 
340
  License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
341
  Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
342
  be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
343
+ that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
344
  apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
345
  under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
346
  this License without regard to the additional permissions.
347
 
348
  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
349
  remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
350
+ it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
351
+ removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
352
  additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
353
  for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
354
 
 
380
  those licensors and authors.
381
 
382
  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
383
+ restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
384
  received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
385
  governed by this License along with a term that is a further
386
+ restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
387
  a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
388
  License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
389
  of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
 
401
  8. Termination.
402
 
403
  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
404
+ provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
405
  modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
406
  this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
407
  paragraph of section 11).
 
422
 
423
  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
424
  licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
425
+ this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
426
  reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
427
  material under section 10.
428
 
429
  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
430
 
431
  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
432
+ run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
433
  occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
434
+ to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
435
  nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
436
+ modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
437
+ not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
438
  covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
439
 
440
  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
441
 
442
  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
443
  receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
444
+ propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
445
  for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
446
 
447
  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
448
  organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
449
+ organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
450
  work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
451
  transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
452
  licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
 
455
  the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
456
 
457
  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
458
+ rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
459
  not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
460
  rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
461
  (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
 
465
  11. Patents.
466
 
467
  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
468
+ License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
469
  work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
470
 
471
  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
 
473
  hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
474
  by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
475
  but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
476
+ consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
477
  purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
478
  patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
479
  this License.
 
486
  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
487
  agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
488
  (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
489
+ sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
490
  party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
491
  patent against the party.
492
 
 
498
  available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
499
  patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
500
  consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
501
+ license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
502
  actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
503
  covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
504
  in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
 
515
  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
516
  the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
517
  conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
518
+ specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
519
+ work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party who is
520
  in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
521
  to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
522
  the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
 
535
 
536
  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
537
  otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
538
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
539
  covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
540
  License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
541
+ not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
542
  to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
543
  the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
544
  License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
545
 
546
+ 13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
547
+
548
+ Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
549
+ Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting
550
+ with it remotely through a computer network (if your version supports such
551
+ interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your
552
+ version by providing access to the Corresponding Source from a network
553
+ server at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating
554
+ networked software sharing. This Corresponding Source shall include the
555
+ Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3 of the GNU General
556
+ Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the following paragraph.
557
 
558
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
559
  permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
560
+ under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
561
+ combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
562
  License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
563
+ but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
564
+ 3 of the GNU General Public License.
 
565
 
566
  14. Revised Versions of this License.
567
 
568
  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
569
+ the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
570
+ will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
571
  address new problems or concerns.
572
 
573
+ Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
574
+ Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero
575
+ General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have
576
+ the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
577
  version or of any later version published by the Free Software
578
+ Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
579
+ GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
580
  by the Free Software Foundation.
581
 
582
  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
583
+ versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that
584
+ proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently
585
+ authorizes you to choose that version for the Program.
586
 
587
  Later license versions may give you additional or different
588
+ permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
589
  author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
590
  later version.
591
 
592
  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
593
 
594
  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
595
+ APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
596
  HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
597
  OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
598
  THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
599
+ PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
600
+ IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
601
  ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
602
 
603
  16. Limitation of Liability.
 
629
  possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
630
  free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
631
 
632
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
633
  to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
634
+ state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
635
+ "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
636
 
637
  <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
638
  Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

  This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
641
+ it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published by
642
  the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
643
  (at your option) any later version.
644
 
645
  This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
646
  but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
647
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
648

650
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
651
+ along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

653
  Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
654
 
655
+ If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
656
+ network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
657
+ get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
658
+ interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
659
+ of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
660
+ solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for
661
+ details.
 
 
 
 
662
 
663
+ You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
664
  if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
