GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
-
Version 3, 19 November 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
-
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.
-
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
-
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
-
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
-
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
-
software for all its users.
-
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
-
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
-
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
-
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
-
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
-
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
-
works, such as semiconductor masks.
-
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
-
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
-
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
-
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
-
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
-
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
-
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
-
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
-
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
-
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
-
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
-
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
-
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
-
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
-
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
-
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
-
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
-
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
-
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
-
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
-
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
-
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
-
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
-
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
-
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
-
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
-
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
-
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
-
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
-
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
-
is widely used among developers working in that language.
-
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
-
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
-
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
-
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
-
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
-
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
-
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
-
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
-
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
-
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
-
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
-
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
-
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
-
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
-
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
-
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
-
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
-
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
-
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
-
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
-
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
-
subprograms and other parts of the work.
-
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
-
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
-
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
-
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
-
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
-
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
-
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
-
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
-
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
-
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
-
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
-
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
-
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
-
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
-
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
-
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
-
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
-
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
-
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
-
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
-
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
-
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
-
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
-
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
-
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
-
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
-
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
-
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
-
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
-
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
-
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
-
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
-
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
-
technological measures.
-
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
-
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
-
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
-
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
-
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
-
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
-
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
-
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
-
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
-
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
-
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
-
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
-
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
-
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
-
it, and giving a relevant date.
-
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
-
released under this License and any conditions added under section
-
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
-
"keep intact all notices".
-
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
-
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
-
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
-
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
-
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
-
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
-
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
-
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
-
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
-
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
-
work need not make them do so.
-
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
-
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
-
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
-
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
-
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
-
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
-
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
-
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
-
parts of the aggregate.
-
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
-
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
-
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
-
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
-
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
-
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
-
customarily used for software interchange.
-
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
-
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
-
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
-
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
-
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
-
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
-
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
-
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
-
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
-
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
-
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
-
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
-
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
-
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
-
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
-
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
-
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
-
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
-
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
-
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
-
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
-
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
-
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
-
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
-
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
-
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
-
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
-
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
-
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
-
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
-
charge under subsection 6d.
-
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
-
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
-
included in conveying the object code work.
-
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
-
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
-
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
-
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
-
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
-
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
-
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
-
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
-
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
-
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
-
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
-
the only significant mode of use of the product.
-
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
-
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
-
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
-
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
-
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
-
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
-
modification has been made.
-
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
-
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
-
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
-
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
-
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
-
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
-
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
-
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
-
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
-
been installed in ROM).
-
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
-
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
-
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
-
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
-
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
-
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
-
protocols for communication across the network.
-
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
-
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
-
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
-
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
-
unpacking, reading or copying.
-
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
-
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
-
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
-
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
-
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
-
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
-
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
-
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
-
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
-
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
-
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
-
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
-
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
-
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
-
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
-
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
-
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
-
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
-
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
-
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
-
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
-
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
-
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
-
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
-
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
-
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
-
authors of the material; or
-
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
-
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
-
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
-
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
-
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
-
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
-
those licensors and authors.
-
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
-
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
-
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
-
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
-
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
-
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
-
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
-
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
-
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
-
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
-
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
-
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
-
where to find the applicable terms.
-
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
-
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
-
the above requirements apply either way.
-
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
-
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
-
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
-
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
-
paragraph of section 11).
-
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
-
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
-
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
-
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
-
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
-
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
-
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
-
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
-
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
-
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
-
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
-
your receipt of the notice.
-
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
-
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
-
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
-
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
-
material under section 10.
-
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
-
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
-
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
-
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
-
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
-
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
-
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
-
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
-
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
-
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
-
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
-
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
-
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
-
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
-
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
-
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
-
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
-
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
-
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
-
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
-
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
-
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
-
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
-
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
-
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
-
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
-
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
-
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
-
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
-
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
-
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
-
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
-
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
-
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
-
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
-
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
-
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
-
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
-
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
-
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
-
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
-
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
-
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
-
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
-
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
-
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
-
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
-
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
-
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
-
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
-
patent against the party.
-
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
-
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
-
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
-
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
-
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
-
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
-
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
-
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
-
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
-
actual 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 identifiable patents in that
-
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
-
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
-
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
-
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
-
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
-
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
-
you grant is automatically 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
-
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
-
specifically 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 distributing software, under which you make payment
-
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
-
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
-
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
-
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
-
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
-
for and in connection with specific products or compilations 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 limiting
-
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 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. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
-
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
-
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
-
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
-
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
-
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
-
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
-
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
-
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
-
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
-
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 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 work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
-
3 of the GNU General Public License.
-
14. Revised Versions of this License.
-
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
-
the GNU Affero 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 Affero 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 Affero 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 Affero 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
-
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.
-

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.>
-
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>

You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
-

-
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
-
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
-
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
-
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
-
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
-
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
-
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.
