machine‐readablecopyofthecorrespondingsourcecode,tobedistributedundertheterms
ofSections1and2aboveonamediumcustomarilyusedforsoftwareinterchange;or,
c) Accompanyitwiththeinformationyoureceivedastotheoffertodistributecorresponding
sourcecode.(Thisalternativeis
allowedonlyfornoncommercialdistributionandonlyifyou
receivedtheprograminobjectcodeorexecutableformwithsuchanoffer,inaccordwith
Subsectionbabove.)

Thesourcecodeforaworkmeansthepreferredformoftheworkformakingmodificationstoit.Foran
executablework,
completesourcecodemeansallthesourcecodeforallmodulesitcontains,plusany
associatedinterfacedefinitionfiles,plusthescriptsusedtocontrolcompilationandinstallationofthe
executable.However,asaspecialexception,thesourcecodedistributedneednotincludeanythingthat
isnormallydistributed(ineithersource
orbinaryform)withthemajorcomponents(compiler,kernel,
andsoon)oftheoperatingsystemonwhichtheexecutableruns,unlessthatcomponentitself
accompaniestheexecutable.

Ifdistributionofexecutableorobjectcodeismadebyofferingaccesstocopyfromadesignatedplace,
thenofferingequivalentaccess
tocopythesourcecodefromthesameplacecountsasdistributionof
thesourcecode,eventhoughthirdpartiesarenotcompelledtocopythesourcealongwiththeobject
code.

4.Youmaynotcopy,modify,sublicense,ordistributetheProgramexceptasexpresslyprovidedunder
thisLicense.
Anyattemptotherwisetocopy,modify,sublicenseordistributetheProgramisvoid,and
willautomaticallyterminateyourrightsunderthisLicense.However,partieswho havereceivedcopies,
orrights,fromyouunderthisLicensewillnothavetheirlicensesterminatedsolongassuchparties
remaininfullcompliance.

5.YouarenotrequiredtoacceptthisLicense,sinceyouhavenotsignedit.However,nothingelsegrants
youpermissiontomodifyordistributetheProgramoritsderivativeworks.Theseactionsareprohibited
bylawifyoudonotacceptthisLicense.Therefore,bymodifyingordistributingthe
Program(orany
workbasedontheProgram),youindicateyouracceptanceofthisLicensetodoso,andallitstermsand
conditionsforcopying,distributingormodifyingtheProgramorworksbasedonit.

6.EachtimeyouredistributetheProgram(oranyworkbasedontheProgram),
therecipient
automaticallyreceivesalicensefromtheoriginallicensortocopy,distributeormodifytheProgram
subjecttothesetermsandconditions.Youmaynotimposeanyfurtherrestrictionsontherecipients’
exerciseoftherightsgrantedherein.Youarenotresponsibleforenforcingcompliancebythirdparties
tothis
License.

7.If,asaconsequenceofacourtjudgmentorallegationofpatentinfringementorforanyotherreason
(notlimitedtopatentissues),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distributesoastosatisfysimultaneouslyyourobligationsunderthisLicense
andanyotherpertinentobligations,thenasaconsequenceyoumaynotdistributetheProgramatall.
Forexample,ifapatentlicensewouldnotpermitroyalty‐freeredistributionofthe
Programbyallthose
whoreceivecopiesdirectlyorindirectlythroughyou,thentheonlywayyoucouldsatisfybothitand
thisLicensewouldbetorefrainentirelyfromdistributionoftheProgram.

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.

8.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
