If any portion
of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular
circumstance,
the balance of the section
is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the
purpose
of this
section
to induce
you
to infringe
any
patents
or
other
property
right
claims
or
to
contest
validity
of any such claims;
this section
has the sole purpose
of
protecting
the
integrity
of
the
free
software
distribution
system,
which
is
implemented
by
public
license
practices.
Many
people
have
made generous
contributions
to the
wide
range
of software
distributed
through
that
system
in reliance
on
consistent
application
of
that
system;
it
is up
to
the
author/donor
to decide
if he or
she
is willing
to distribute
software
through
any
other
system
and
a licensee
cannot
impose
that
choice.
This section
is intended
to make thoroughly
clear what is
believed to be a consequence
of the rest of this license.
If the
distribution
and/or
use
of the
program
is restricted
in
certain
countries
either
by
patents
or
by
copyrighted
interfaces,
the
original
copyright
holder
who
places
the
program
under
this
license
may add
an explicit
geographical
distribution
limitation
excluding
those
countries,
so
that
distribution
is permitted
only
in or among
countries
not
thus
excluded.
In such
case, this
license
incorporates
the
limitation
as if written
in the body
of this
license.

PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY
AND
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD
THE
PROGRAM
PROVE DEFECTIVE,
YOU ASSUME
THE
COST
OF
ALL
NECESSARY

IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER,
OR
ANY
OTHER
PARTY WHO
MAY MODIFY
AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL
OR
CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES
ARISING OUT
OF THE USE OR INABILITY
TO USE THE
PROGRAM
(INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
THE
PROGRAM
TO
OPERATE
WITH
ANY
OTHER
PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
HAS
BEEN ADVISED
OF
THE
POSSIBILITY
OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such
new versions wilt be similar in spirit to the present version, but
may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing
version number. If the
program
specifies
a version
number
of this
license which
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option
of
following
the terms and conditions
either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
the program does not specify a version number of this license,
you
may choose
any version
ever published
by the Free
Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate
parts of the program into other free
programs whose distribution
conditions
are different,
write to
the
author
to ask for
permission.
For software
which
is
copyrighted
by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the
free status
of all derivatives
of our free software
and of
promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.

WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
