Everyone is permitted to copy and + distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but + changing it is not allowed. + + *Preamble* + + 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 this license. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, + distribution and modification follow. + + + *TERMS AND CONDITIONS* + + +*** 0. Definitions. + + "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 on the Program. + + 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. + +*** 1. Source Code. + + The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of + the work for making modifications to it. "Object code" + means any non-source form of a work. + + 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 Source. + + The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form + is that same work. + + +*** 2. Basic Permissions. + + 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 makes it unnecessary. + +*** 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 measures. + + 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, in one of these ways: + + - 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 with + subsection 6b. + + - 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. + +*** 7. Additional Terms. + + "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. + + +*** 8. Termination. + + 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. + +*** 11. Patents. + + 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 this License. + + 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 following paragraph. + + 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 later version. + +*** 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. + + IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO + IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY + WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS 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. + +*** 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. + + If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability + provided above cannot be given local legal effect + according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply + local law that most closely approximates an absolute + waiver of all civil liability in connection with the + Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability + accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS + + + *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. + +#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE + Copyright (C) + + This program is free software: you can redistribute it + and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Affero + General Public License as published by the Free Software + Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your + option) any later version. + + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be + useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the + implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A + PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Affero General Public + License for more details. + + You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero + General Public License along with this program. If not, + see . + +#+END_EXAMPLE + + 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 specific requirements. + + 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. For more + information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU + AGPL, see .
