First, +let @var{Q1}, @var{Q2} and @var{Q3} be the variables describing the +service centers. Each variable is instantiated with the +@command{qnmknode} function. + +@example +@group +@kbd{Q1 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 1 );} +@kbd{Q2 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 2 );} +@kbd{Q3 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 0.8 );} +@end group +@end example + +The first parameter of @command{qnmknode} is a string describing the +type of the node. Here we use @code{"m/m/m-fcfs"} to denote a +@math{M/M/m}--FCFS center. The second parameter gives the average +service time. An optional third parameter can be used to specify the +number @math{m} of service centers. If omitted, it is assumed +@math{m=1} (single-server node). + +Now, the network can be analyzed as follows: + +@example +@group +@kbd{N = 10;} +@kbd{V = [1 0.3 0.7];} +@kbd{[U R Q X] = qnsolve( "closed", N, @{ Q1, Q2, Q3 @}, V )} + @result{} U = 0.99139 0.59483 0.55518 + @result{} R = 7.4360 4.7531 1.7500 + @result{} Q = 7.3719 1.4136 1.2144 + @result{} X = 0.99139 0.29742 0.69397 +@end group +@end example + +Of course, we get exactly the same results. Other functions can be used +for closed networks, @pxref{Algorithms for Product-Form QNs}. + +@node Analysis of Open Networks +@section Analysis of Open Networks + +Open networks can be analyzed in a similar way. Let us consider +an open network with @math{K=3} service centers, and routing +probability matrix as follows: + +@iftex +@tex +$$ +P = \pmatrix{ 0 & 0.3 & 0.5 \cr + 1 & 0 & 0 \cr + 1 & 0 & 0 } +$$ +@end tex +@end iftex +@ifnottex +@example + [ 0 0.3 0.5 ] +P = [ 1 0 0 ] + [ 1 0 0 ] +@end example +@end ifnottex + +In this network, requests can leave the system from center 1 with +probability @math{(1-(0.3+0.5) = 0.2}. We suppose that external jobs +arrive at center 1 with rate @math{\lambda_1 = 0.15}; there are no +arrivals at centers 2 and 3. + +Similarly to closed networks, we first need to compute the visit +counts @math{V_k} to center @math{k}. Again, we use the +@command{qnvisits} function as follows: + +@example +@group +@kbd{P = [0 0.3 0.5; 1 0 0; 1 0 0];} +@kbd{lambda = [0.15 0 0];} +@kbd{V = qnvisits(P, lambda)} + @result{} V = 5.00000 1.50000 2.50000 +@end group +@end example + +@noindent where @code{@var{lambda}(k)} is the arrival rate at center @math{k}, +and @var{P} is the routing matrix. The visit counts @math{V_k} for +open networks satisfy the following equation: + +@iftex +@tex +$$ +V_j = P_{0, j} + \sum_{i=1}^K V_i P_{i, j} +$$ +@end tex +@end iftex +@ifnottex +@example +V_j = sum_i V_i P_ij +@end example +@end ifnottex + +where @math{P_{0, j}} is the probability of an external arrival to +center @math{j}. This can be computed as: + +@tex +$$ +P_{0, j} = {\lambda_j \over \sum_{i=1}^K \lambda_i } +$$ +@end tex + +Assuming the same service times as in the previous example, the +network can be analyzed with the @command{qnopen} function, as +follows: + +@example +@group +@kbd{S = [1 2 0.8];} +@kbd{[U R Q X] = qnopen( sum(lambda), S, V )} + @result{} U = 0.75000 0.45000 0.30000 + @result{} R = 4.0000 3.6364 1.1429 + @result{} Q = 3.00000 0.81818 0.42857 + @result{} X = 0.75000 0.22500 0.37500 +@end group +@end example + +The first parameter of the @command{qnopen} function is the (scalar) +aggregate arrival rate. + +Again, it is possible to use the @command{qnsolve} high-level function: + +@example +@group +@kbd{Q1 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 1 );} +@kbd{Q2 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 2 );} +@kbd{Q3 = qnmknode( "m/m/m-fcfs", 0.8 );} +@kbd{lambda = [0.15 0 0];} +@kbd{[U R Q X] = qnsolve( "open", sum(lambda), @{ Q1, Q2, Q3 @}, V )} + @result{} U = 0.75000 0.45000 0.30000 + @result{} R = 4.0000 3.6364 1.1429 + @result{} Q = 3.00000 0.81818 0.42857 + @result{} X = 0.75000 0.22500 0.37500 +@end group +@end example + +@c @node Markov Chains Analysis +@c @section Markov Chains Analysis + +@c @subsection Discrete-Time Markov Chains + +@c (TODO) + +@c @subsection Continuous-Time Markov Chains + +@c (TODO) + Deleted: trunk/octave-forge/main/queueing/doc/gpl.texi =================================================================== --- trunk/octave-forge/main/queueing/doc/gpl.texi 2012-04-06 19:07:39 UTC (rev 10172) +++ trunk/octave-forge/main/queueing/doc/gpl.texi 2012-04-08 20:02:44 UTC (rev 10173) @@ -1,718 +0,0 @@ -@node Copying -@appendix GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE -@cindex warranty -@cindex copyright - -@center Version 3, 29 June 2007 - -@display -Copyright @copyright{} 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. @url{http://fsf.org/} - -Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this -license document, but changing it is not allowed. -@end display - -@heading Preamble - -The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for -software and other kinds of works. - -The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed -to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, -the GNU General Public License is 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. We, the Free Software Foundation, -use the GNU General Public License for most of our software; it -applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. You -can apply it to your programs, too. - -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. - -To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you -these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you -have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the -software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom -of others. - -For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether -gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same -freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, -receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these -terms so they know their rights. - -Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: -(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License -giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. - -For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains -that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and -authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as -changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to -authors of previous versions. - -Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run -modified versions of the software inside them, although the -manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the -aim of protecting users' freedom to change the software. The -systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for -individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. -Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the -practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in -other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those -domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the -freedom of users. - -Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. -States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of -software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish -to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program -could make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL -assures that patents cannot be used to render the program non-free. - -The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and -modification follow. - -@heading TERMS AND CONDITIONS - -@enumerate 0 -@item Definitions. - -``This License'' refers to version 3 of the GNU 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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: - -@enumerate a -@item -The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, -and giving a relevant date. - -@item -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''. - -@item -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. - -@item -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. -@end enumerate - -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. - -@item 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: - -@enumerate a -@item -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. - -@item -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. - -@item -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. - -@item -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. - -@item -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. - -@end enumerate - -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. - -@item 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: - -@enumerate a -@item -Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms -of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or - -@item -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 - -@item -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 - -@item -Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or -authors of the material; or - -@item -Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade -names, trademarks, or service marks; or - -@item -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. -@end enumerate - -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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item 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. - -@item Interpretation of Sections...
