GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to
any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright
holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
"work based on the Program "means either the Program or any derivative work
under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation
in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Activities other than
copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they
are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and
the output from the Programs covered only if its contents constitute a work
based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the
Program).Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and
distribute 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 and disclaimer of warranty; keep
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this
License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the
physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer
warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy
or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on
the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the
terms of Section 1above, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions:
a) You must cause the
modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the
files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole
or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof,
to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the
terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in
the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user
how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work
based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to
the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not
derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the
Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus
to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the
intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work
written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume
of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
following: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b)
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete 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 especial 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 tube 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 permitted only
in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. EGD may publish revised
and/or new versions of the 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 a version number
of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by EGD. If the Program does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by
EGD.
10. If you wish to
incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution
conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For
software which is copyrighted by the EGD, write to the EGD; we sometimes
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS
LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 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.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER,
OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS
PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR
DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Free for non-commercial use
while company must have legal presence in Pakistan for commercial use.
Please acknowledge "Electronic
Government Directorate" in both cases.
