- 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 +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 +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 +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 +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 +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 +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 +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 +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 +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. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. - -
- Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have +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. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+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 Affero 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 special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, -section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the -combination as such. - -
- 14. Revised Versions of this License. - -
- The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of -the GNU 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 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 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 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 +under version 3 of the GNU Affero 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 special requirements of the GNU Affero +General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through +a network will apply to the combination as such.
+14. Revised Versions of this License.
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new +versions of the GNU 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 +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 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 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. - -

The cards can only be moved to the foundation as entire suits, +in order. As in Oonsoo, the third and +fourth rank cards are interchangeable for all suits except Rain. +Only first rank cards can play on the canvas. First build the suits +on the tableau. Then pick up all four cards at once and drop them +on the foundation. The foundation will only accept a completed suit +if the internal rank order is correct and it's played in suit +order. Plum after Pine, Phoenix after Rain, etc. Stacks in the +tableau can be moved if the cards in the stack are in order or not. +There can be no more than twelve cards in a row. The play in this +game is similar to Seahaven Towers, except there are no reserve +stacks.

-This is entirely a game of skill: if you loose, you just weren't paying -attention. Your first priority should be to expose all the face-down cards and -get the rest of the Reserve into play.

It is basically a -large-scale, two-deck version of Grandfather's Clock and is probably named -after Big Ben, the colloquially used nickname for the clock face at the tower -of the Palace of Westminster in London. -
-Before the start of the game, the following cards are separated from the
-decks: 2, 3, 4, 5
, 6, 7
, 8, 9
, 10, J
, Q, K
. These cards to form a
-circle arranged like numbers on a clock face with the 2 on the "9 o' clock" position, the 5
at the "12 o' clock" position, and the K
at the "8 o' clock." This will be the foundations, or
-the "inner circle" (otherwise known as the "clock").
-
-Twelves piles of three cards are then dealt around the inner circle. These
-piles form the tableau, or the "outer circle." The top cards of the outer
-circle are available for play to the inner circle or around the outer circle.
-Building on the outer circle is down by suit, while the foundations in the
-inner circle are built up by suit until the last card corresponds to the its
-position on the clock (i.e. the Q should be built
-up to 7, for instance). Building is also
-continuous, with Aces placed over Kings in the inner circle and vice versa in
-the outer circle.
-
-It should be noted that the minimum number of cards in each pile in the outer -circle is three. A pile containing less than three cards is said to have gaps; -an empty pile has three "gaps," a pile having one card has two "gaps," and a -pile with two cards has one "gap." As cards are built, "gaps" are formed and -the only way these are "filled" is by dealing cards from the stock. Building -on a pile having cards less than three is like "filling a gap" from the -tableau and is therefore not allowed. -
-It is the player's discretion when to fill the "gaps," but when the player -decides to do so, one has to fill all "gaps," i. e. replenish all piles with -less than three cards so each of them contains three cards once again. For -example, two piles are empty, one pile has one card left, and two piles have -two cards left. So the player has to fill a total of 10 gaps. He does this by -dealing cards one card per pile at a time clockwise starting from the pile -above the "12 o' clock" foundation. No building is done until this process is -complete. The player can do this as long as there are "gaps." -
-Sometimes, the player cannot make any moves even when all piles contain three -cards each. So the player can deal cards from the stock one at a time. Cards -that cannot be built either onto the inner or outer circles are placed on the -wastepile (as a suggestion, one can place the wastepile at the center of the -inner circle for convenience). Again, cards at the wastepile cannot be used to -fill "gaps." But once the stock is exhausted, there are no redeals; the game -ends sooner after this or later. -
-The game is successfully won when all foundations show cards corresponding to
-their positions in the clock (J on "11 o' clock,"
-Q on "12 o' clock," A on
-"1 o' clock," and so on.)

It is basically a large-scale, two-deck version of +Grandfather's Clock and is +probably named after Big Ben, the colloquially used nickname for +the clock face at the tower of the Palace of Westminster in +London.
+Before the start of the game, the following cards are separated
+from the decks: 2, 3![](+"../images/h.gif")
, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K. These cards to form a circle arranged like
+numbers on a clock face with the 2 on
+the "9 o' clock" position, the 5 at
+the "12 o' clock" position, and the K
+at the "8 o' clock." This will be the foundations, or the "inner
+circle" (otherwise known as the "clock").
Twelves piles of three cards are then dealt around the inner
+circle. These piles form the tableau, or the "outer circle." The
+top cards of the outer circle are available for play to the inner
+circle or around the outer circle. Building on the outer circle is
+down by suit, while the foundations in the inner circle are built
+up by suit until the last card corresponds to the its position on
+the clock (i.e. the Q should be built
+up to 7, for instance). Building is
+also continuous, with Aces placed over Kings in the inner circle
+and vice versa in the outer circle.
It should be noted that the minimum number of cards in each pile +in the outer circle is three. A pile containing less than three +cards is said to have gaps; an empty pile has three "gaps," a pile +having one card has two "gaps," and a pile with two cards has one +"gap." As cards are built, "gaps" are formed and the only way these +are "filled" is by dealing cards from the stock. Building on a pile +having cards less than three is like "filling a gap" from the +tableau and is therefore not allowed.
+It is the player's discretion when to fill the "gaps," but when +the player decides to do so, one has to fill all "gaps," i. e. +replenish all piles with less than three cards so each of them +contains three cards once again. For example, two piles are empty, +one pile has one card left, and two piles have two cards left. So +the player has to fill a total of 10 gaps. He does this by dealing +cards one card per pile at a time clockwise starting from the pile +above the "12 o' clock" foundation. No building is done until this +process is complete. The player can do this as long as there are +"gaps."
+Sometimes, the player cannot make any moves even when all piles +contain three cards each. So the player can deal cards from the +stock one at a time. Cards that cannot be built either onto the +inner or outer circles are placed on the wastepile (as a +suggestion, one can place the wastepile at the center of the inner +circle for convenience). Again, cards at the wastepile cannot be +used to fill "gaps." But once the stock is exhausted, there are no +redeals; the game ends sooner after this or later.
+The game is successfully won when all foundations show cards
+corresponding to their positions in the clock (J on "11 o' clock," Q on "12 o' clock," A![](+"../images/c.gif")
on "1 o' clock," and so on.)

+All the exposed (face-up) cards are available for play, to be +built on the foundations or on other exposed cards on the tableau, +and when an face-down card becomes fully exposed, it is turned +face-up. Building in the tableau is down by alternating color. Some +rule sets (like that of Solsuite) allow moving of packed sequences +as a single unit, making it like Rank and File, while other rule +sets (such as that of Pretty Good Solitaire) don't allow moving of +sequences.
+When all possible moves are made, the stock is dealt one at a +time. A card that cannot be played yet onto tableau or on the +foundations is placed on the waste pile, the top card of which is +available for play.
+The game ends soon after the stock has run out. The game is won +when all cards are built onto the foundations.

+The game is won when all 104 card end up in the foundations.

The object is to build the upper foundations down by suit to +aces while the lower foundations up by suit.
+The top card of each pile surrounding the foundations is +available for play onto another pile or to the foundations. +Building on the piles is either up or down by suit. However a king +cannot be placed over an ace and an ace cannot be placed over a +king. Only one card can be moved at a time.
+There is no mention in The Complete Book of Solitaire and +Patience Games of what to do on the spaces. This gives rise to +at least two rule sets: one that allows any card to be placed in a +space; and another that does not allow a space to be filled.
+For the first deal, there are restrictions as to which card goes +to which foundation. Cards on piles 1 to 4 are available only to +the upper foundations, cards on piles 7 to 10 are available only to +the lower foundations, and cards on piles 5, 6, 11, and 12 are +available to either the upper or lower foundations.
