> +12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
> +If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
> +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
> +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
> +covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
> +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
> +may not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that
> +obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to
> +whom you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those
> +terms and this License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the
> +Program.
> +
> +13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
> +Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission
> +to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3
> +of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work,
> +and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will
> +continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special
> +requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13,
> +concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination
> +as such.
> +
> +14. Revised Versions of this License.
> +The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
> +the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
> +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 that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public
> +License “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of
> +following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of
> +any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the
> +Program does not specify a version number of the GNU General Public
> +License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
> +Foundation.
> +
> +If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions
> +of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public
> +statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to
> +choose that version for the Program.
> +
> +Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions.
> +However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or
> +copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a later version.
> +
> +15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
> +THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
> +APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
> +HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT
> +WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
> +LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
> +PARTICULAR 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 SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
> +
> +16. Limitation of Liability.
> +IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
> +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
> +CONVEYS 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.
> +
> +17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
> +If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above
> +cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing
> +courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute
> +waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
> +warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in
> +return for a fee.
> +
> +END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
> +
> +How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
> +
> +If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
> +possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
> +free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
> +terms.
> +
> +To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
> +attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state
> +the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
> +“copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
> +
> +    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
