By contrast, the 29 <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License is intended to guarantee your 30 freedom to share and change all versions of a program—to make sure it 31 remains free software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, 32 use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> General Public License for most of our 33 software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its 34 authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. 35 </para> 36 <para> 37 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our 38 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom 39 to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), 40 that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can 41 change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you 42 know you can do these things. 43 </para> 44 <para> 45 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these 46 rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain 47 responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify 48 it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. 49 </para> 50 <para> 51 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or 52 for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you 53 received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source 54 code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. 55 </para> 56 <para> 57 Developers that use the <acronym>GNU</acronym> <acronym>GPL</acronym> 58 protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, 59 and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, 60 distribute and/or modify it. 61 </para> 62 <para> 63 For the developers’ and authors’ protection, the 64 <acronym>GPL</acronym> clearly explains that there is no warranty for this 65 free software. For both users’ and authors’ sake, the 66 <acronym>GPL</acronym> requires that modified versions be marked as changed, 67 so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of 68 previous versions. 69 </para> 70 <para> 71 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified 72 versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. 73 This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users’ 74 freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs 75 in the area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it 76 is most unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the 77 <acronym>GPL</acronym> to prohibit the practice for those products. If such 78 problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this 79 provision to those domains in future versions of the <acronym>GPL</acronym>, 80 as needed to protect the freedom of users. 81 </para> 82 <para> 83 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States 84 should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on 85 general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the 86 special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it 87 effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the <acronym>GPL</acronym> 88 assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. 89 </para> 90 <para> 91 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification 92 follow. 93 </para> 94 <bridgehead> 95 TERMS AND CONDITIONS 96 </bridgehead> 97 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 98 0. Definitions. 99 </bridgehead> 100 <para> 101 “This License” refers to version 3 of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> 102 General Public License. 103 </para> 104 <para> 105 “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other 106 kinds of works, such as semiconductor masks. 107 </para> 108 <para> 109 “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under 110 this License. Each licensee is addressed as “you”. 111 “Licensees” and “recipients” may be individuals or 112 organizations. 113 </para> 114 <para> 115 To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of 116 the work in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making 117 of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a “modified 118 version” of the earlier work or a work “based on” the 119 earlier work. 120 </para> 121 <para> 122 A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work 123 based on the Program. 124 </para> 125 <para> 126 To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without 127 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement 128 under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a computer or 129 modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with 130 or without modification), making available to the public, and in some 131 countries other activities as well. 132 </para> 133 <para> 134 To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables 135 other parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user 136 through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. 137 </para> 138 <para> 139 An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal 140 Notices” to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently 141 visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) 142 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent 143 that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the work under this 144 License, and how to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents 145 a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the 146 list meets this criterion. 147 </para> 148 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 149 1. Source Code. 150 </bridgehead> 151 <para> 152 The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the 153 work for making modifications to it. “Object code” means any 154 non-source form of a work. 155 </para> 156 <para> 157 A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an 158 official standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of 159 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that is 160 widely used among developers working in that language. 161 </para> 162 <para> 163 The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, 164 other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of 165 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, 166 and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or 167 to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available 168 to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this 169 context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so 170 on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work 171 runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter 172 used to run it. 173 </para> 174 <para> 175 The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means 176 all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable 177 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to 178 control those activities. However, it does not include the work’s 179 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free 180 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which 181 are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes 182 interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and 183 the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that 184 the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data 185 communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of 186 the work. 187 </para> 188 <para> 189 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate 190 automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. 191 </para> 192 <para> 193 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. 194 </para> 195 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 196 2. Basic Permissions. 197 </bridgehead> 198 <para> 199 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright 200 on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. 201 This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the 202 unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by 203 this License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered 204 work. This License acknowledges your rights of fair use or other 205 equivalent, as provided by copyright law. 206 </para> 207 <para> 208 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, 209 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You 210 may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make 211 modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for 212 running those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License 213 in conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those 214 thus making or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on 215 your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them 216 from making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their 217 relationship with you. 218 </para> 219 <para> 220 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the 221 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it 222 unnecessary. 223 </para> 224 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 225 3. Protecting Users’ Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. 226 </bridgehead> 227 <para> 228 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure 229 under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO 230 copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or 231 restricting circumvention of such measures. 232 </para> 233 <para> 234 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid 235 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is 236 effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered 237 work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of 238 the work as a means of enforcing, against the work’s users, your or 239 third parties’ legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological 240 measures. 241 </para> 242 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 243 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. 244 </bridgehead> 245 <para> 246 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you 247 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately 248 publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all 249 notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in 250 accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the 251 absence of any warranty; and give all recipients a copy of this License 252 along with the Program. 253 </para> 254 <para> 255 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you 256 may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. 257 </para> 258 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 259 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. 260 </bridgehead> 261 <para> 262 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce 263 it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 264 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 265 </para> 266 <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha"> 267 <listitem> 268 <para> 269 The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and 270 giving a relevant date. 271 </para> 272 </listitem> 273 <listitem> 274 <para> 275 The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under 276 this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement 277 modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all 278 notices”. 279 </para> 280 </listitem> 281 <listitem> 282 <para> 283 You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to 284 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore 285 apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the 286 whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are 287 packaged. This License gives no permission to license the work in any 288 other way, but it does not invalidate such permission if you have 289 separately received it. 290 </para> 291 </listitem> 292 <listitem> 293 <para> 294 If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display 295 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive 296 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need 297 not make them do so. 298 </para> 299 </listitem> 300 </orderedlist> 301 <para> 302 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, 303 which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are 304 not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of 305 a storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if 306 the compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access 307 or legal rights of the compilation’s users beyond what the individual works 308 permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause 309 this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate. 310 </para> 311 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 312 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. 313 </bridgehead> 314 <para> 315 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of 316 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable 317 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: 318 </para> 319 <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha"> 320 <listitem> 321 <para> 322 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including 323 a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source 324 fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software 325 interchange. 326 </para> 327 </listitem> 328 <listitem> 329 <para> 330 Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including 331 a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid 332 for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts 333 or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses 334 the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all 335 the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a 336 durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a 337 price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this 338 conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from 339 a network server at no charge. 340 </para> 341 </listitem> 342 <listitem> 343 <para> 344 Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written 345 offer to provide the Corresponding Source.

You need not require recipients to copy the 356 Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to copy 357 the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source may be on 358 a different server (operated by you or a third party) that supports 359 equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions 360 next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. 361 Regardless of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain 362 obligated to ensure that it is available for as long as needed to 363 satisfy these requirements. 364 </para> 365 </listitem> 366 <listitem> 367 <para> 368 Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you 369 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the 370 work are being offered to the general public at no charge under 371 subsection 6d. 372 </para> 373 </listitem> 374 </orderedlist> 375 <para> 376 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from 377 the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in 378 conveying the object code work. 379 </para> 380 <para> 381 A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, 382 which means any tangible personal property which is normally used for 383 personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold 384 for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a 385 consumer product, doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. 386 For a particular product received by a particular user, “normally 387 used” refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, 388 regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the 389 particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the 390 product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product 391 has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such 392 uses represent the only significant mode of use of the product. 393 </para> 394 <para> 395 “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, 396 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install and 397 execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a 398 modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice 399 to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in 400 no case prevented or interfered with solely because modification has been 401 made. 402 </para> 403 <para> 404 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or 405 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of 406 a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product 407 is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term 408 (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding 409 Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied by the Installation 410 Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor any 411 third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User 412 Product (for example, the work has been installed in 413 <acronym>ROM</acronym>). 414 </para> 415 <para> 416 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a 417 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for 418 a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User 419 Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may 420 be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the 421 operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for 422 communication across the network. 423 </para> 424 <para> 425 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in 426 accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented 427 (and with an implementation available to the public in source code form), 428 and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or 429 copying. 430 </para> 431 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 432 7. Additional Terms. 433 </bridgehead> 434 <para> 435 “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of 436 this License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. 437 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall be 438 treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that 439 they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only 440 to part of the Program, that part may be used separately under those 441 permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License 442 without regard to the additional permissions. 443 </para> 444 <para> 445 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any 446 additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional 447 permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases 448 when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on 449 material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give 450 appropriate copyright permission. 451 </para> 452 <para> 453 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add 454 to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that 455 material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: 456 </para> 457 <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha"> 458 <listitem> 459 <para> 460 Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms 461 of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or 462 </para> 463 </listitem> 464 <listitem> 465 <para> 466 Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author 467 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices 468 displayed by works containing it; or 469 </para> 470 </listitem> 471 <listitem> 472 <para> 473 Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or 474 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in 475 reasonable ways as different from the original version; or 476 </para> 477 </listitem> 478 <listitem> 479 <para> 480 Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or 481 authors of the material; or 482 </para> 483 </listitem> 484 <listitem> 485 <para> 486 Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade 487 names, trademarks, or service marks; or 488 </para> 489 </listitem> 490 <listitem> 491 <para> 492 Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by 493 anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with 494 contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any 495 liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those 496 licensors and authors. 497 </para> 498 </listitem> 499 </orderedlist> 500 <para> 501 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further 502 restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as 503 you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is 504 governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, 505 you may remove that term. If a license document contains a further 506 restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this License, you 507 may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license 508 document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such 509 relicensing or conveying. 510 </para> 511 <para> 512 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must 513 place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms 514 that apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the 515 applicable terms. 516 </para> 517 <para> 518 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form 519 of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above 520 requirements apply either way. 521 </para> 522 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 523 8. Termination. 524 </bridgehead> 525 <para> 526 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided 527 under this License.

Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. 555 </bridgehead> 556 <para> 557 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a 558 copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring 559 solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a 560 copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than 561 this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. 562 These actions infringe copyright if you do not accept this License. 563 Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work, you indicate your 564 acceptance of this License to do so. 565 </para> 566 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 567 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. 568 </bridgehead> 569 <para> 570 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a 571 license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that 572 work, subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing 573 compliance by third parties with this License. 574 </para> 575 <para> 576 An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control 577 of an organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an 578 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work 579 results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who 580 receives a copy of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the 581 party’s predecessor in interest had or could give under the previous 582 paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of the 583 work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get 584 it with reasonable efforts. 585 </para> 586 <para> 587 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights 588 granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a 589 license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under 590 this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim 591 or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed 592 by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or 593 any portion of it. 594 </para> 595 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 596 11. Patents. 597 </bridgehead> 598 <para> 599 A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under 600 this License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The 601 work thus licensed is called the contributor’s “contributor 602 version”. 603 </para> 604 <para> 605 A contributor’s “essential patent claims” are all patent 606 claims owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or 607 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by 608 this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do 609 not include claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further 610 modification of the contributor version. For purposes of this definition, 611 “control” includes the right to grant patent sublicenses in a 612 manner consistent with the requirements of this License. 613 </para> 614 <para> 615 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent 616 license under the contributor’s essential patent claims, to make, use, 617 sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the 618 contents of its contributor version. 619 </para> 620 <para> 621 In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any 622 express agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a 623 patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not 624 to sue for patent infringement). To “grant” such a patent 625 license to a party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to 626 enforce a patent against the party. 627 </para> 628 <para> 629 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the 630 Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free 631 of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available 632 network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) 633 cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive 634 yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or 635 (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, 636 to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly 637 relying” means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent 638 license, your conveying the covered work in a country, or your 639 recipient’s use of the covered work in a country, would infringe one 640 or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe 641 are valid. 642 </para> 643 <para> 644 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, 645 you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and 646 grant a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work 647 authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the 648 covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to 649 all recipients of the covered work and works based on it. 650 </para> 651 <para> 652 A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include 653 within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is 654 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are 655 specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work 656 if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is in the 657 business of distributing software, under which you make payment to the third 658 party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and under 659 which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the 660 covered work from you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection 661 with copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or copies made from those 662 copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific products or 663 compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that 664 arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007. 665 </para> 666 <para> 667 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any 668 implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be 669 available to you under applicable patent law. 670 </para> 671 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 672 12. No Surrender of Others’ Freedom. 673 </bridgehead> 674 <para> 675 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 676 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 677 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a 678 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 679 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may 680 not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you 681 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey the 682 Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License 683 would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 684 </para> 685 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 686 13.

The terms of this License will 693 continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special 694 requirements of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> Affero General Public License, 695 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the 696 combination as such. 697 </para> 698 <bridgehead renderas="sect1"> 699 14.

Such new 704 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in 705 detail to address new problems or concerns. 706 </para> 707 <para> 708 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 709 specifies that a certain numbered version of the <acronym>GNU</acronym> 710 General Public License “or any later version” applies to it, you 711 have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that 712 numbered version or of any later version published by the Free Software 713 Foundation.
