knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would
infringe one or more idenable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connecon with a single transacon or arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a
patent license to some of the pares receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specic copy of the covered work,
then the patent license you grant is automacally extended to all recipients of the covered work and works based on it.
A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is condioned on the non-exercise of
one or more of the rights that are specically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with a
third party that is in the business of distribung soware, under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your acvity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the pares who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in
connecon with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connecon with specic products
or compilaons that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or liming any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to
you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom.
If condions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the condions of this License, they do not excuse you from
the condions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so as to sasfy simultaneously your obligaons under this License and any other pernent
obligaons, 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 sasfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain enrely from conveying
the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Aero 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 Aero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulng work. The terms of this License will connue to apply to the part
which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Aero General Public License, secon 13, concerning interacon through a network will
apply to the combinaon as such.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Soware Foundaon may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU General Public License from me to me. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a disnguishing version number. If the Program species that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License “or any later
version” applies to it, you have the opon of following the terms and condions either of that numbered version or of any later version published by the Free
Soware Foundaon. 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 Soware Foundaon.
If the Program species 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 addional or dierent permissions. However, no addional obligaons 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. Limitaon 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. Interpretaon of Secons 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitaon of liability provided above cannot be given local legal eect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply
local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connecon with the Program, unless a warranty or assumpon of liability
accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

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 soware which
