The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for |

software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure |
|
|

cooperation with the community in the case of network server software. |

|
|
|
|
|
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights |
|
|
|
|
|
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer |
|
|
|
|
|
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute |
|
|
|
|
|
and/or modify the software. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that |
|
|
|
|
|
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they |
|
|
|
|
|
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to |
|
|
|
|
|
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and |
|
|
|
|
|
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of |
|
|
|
|
|
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about. |
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and |
|
|
|
|
|
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its |
|
|
|
|
|
source code to the public. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to |
|
|
|
|
|
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available |
|
|
|
|
|
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to |
|
|
|
|
|
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the |
|
|
|
|
|
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on |
|
|
|
|
|
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source |
|
|
|
|
|
code of the modified version. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and |
|
|
|
|
|
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is |
|
|
|
|
|
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has |
|
|
|
|
|
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under |
|
|
|
|
|
this license. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you |
|
|
|
|
|
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have |
|
|
|
|
|
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if |
|
|
|
|
|
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|
|
|
|
|
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same |
|
|
|
|
|
freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive |
|
|
|
|
|
or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they |
|
|
|
|
|
know their rights. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: |
|
|
|
|
|
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License |
|
|
|
|
|
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains |
|
|
|
|
|
that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and |
|
|
|
|
|
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as |
|
|
|
|
|
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to |
|
|
|
|
|
authors of previous versions. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run |
|
|
|
|
|
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer |
|
|
|
|
|
can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of |
|
|
|
|
|
protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic |
|
|
|
|
|
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to |
|
|
|
|
|
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we |
|
|
|
|
|
have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those |
|
|
|
|
|
products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we |
|
|
|
|
|
stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions |
|
|
|
|
|
of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. |
|
|
|
|
|
States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of |
|
|
|
|
|
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to |
|
|
|
|
|
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could |
|
|
|
|
|
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that |
|
|
|
|
|
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. |

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. |
|
|

If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short |
|
|
|
|
|
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
|
|
|
|
parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands |
|
|
|
|
|
might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box". |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
|
|
|
|

if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. |
