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 specifi es 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 specifi es 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.
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.
