In-Depth Information
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 asso-
ciated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compila-
tion 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.

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 automatical-
ly 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 ac-
ceptance 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 Pro-
gram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original li-
censor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recip-
ients' 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 infringe-
ment 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
