29
- To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
30
- these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
31
- certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
32
- you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
33
-
34
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35
- gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
36
- freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
37
- or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
38

40
- Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
41
- (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
42
- giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43
-
44
- For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
45
- that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
46
- authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
47
- changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
48

-
50
- Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
51
- modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
52
- can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
53
- protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
54
- pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
55
- use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
56
- have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
57
- products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
58
- stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
59
- of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.

- Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
62
- States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
63
- software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
64
- avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
65
- make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
66
- patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.

9
 
10
+ The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
11
+ software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
12
+ cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
13
 
14
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
15
  to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
16
+ our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
17
  share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
18
+ software for all its users.
 
 
 
19
 
20
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
21
  price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
 
24
  want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
25
  free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
26
 
27
+ Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
28
+ with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
29
+ you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
30
+ and/or modify the software.
31
+
32
+ A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
33
+ improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
34
+ receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
35
+ incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
36
+ encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
37
+ software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
38
+ The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
39
+ letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
40
+ source code to the public.
41
+
42
+ The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
43
+ ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
44
+ to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
45
+ provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
46
+ users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
47
+ a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
48
+ code of the modified version.
49
+
50
+ An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
51
+ published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
52
+ a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
53
+ released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
54
+ this license.

549
+ shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
550
+ of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
551
