17 |
18 | This is a full implementation of the [JSON-RPC
19 | 2.0](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification) protocol for Emacs. You pass in a
20 | JSON string, Emacs executes the specified function(s), and a JSON-RPC 2.0
21 | response is returned.
22 |
23 | This package is designed sit underneath a transport layer. No transport logic
24 | is included. The transport layer is responsible for communicating with
25 | external clients. Since JSON-RPC provides [no inbuilt
26 | mechanism](https://groups.google.com/d/msg/json-rpc/PN462g49yL8/DdMa93870_oJ)
27 | for authenticating requests, the transport layer should also handle
28 | authentication.
29 |
30 | The default transport layer is
31 | [Porthole](http://www.github.com/jcaw/porthole). It uses the HTTP
32 | protocol.

64 | ## How it Works
65 |
66 | `json-rpc-server-handle` is the main entry point into the package (functions in this
67 | package are prefixed with `json-rpc-server-`). `json-rpc-server-handle` takes a JSON-RPC 2.0 [request
68 | string](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#request_object), and a list of
69 | functions that are allowed to be called remotely.
70 |
71 | ```emacs-lisp
72 | ;; This will decode a JSON-RPC 2.0 request, execute it, and return the JSON-RPC 2.0 response.
73 | (json-rpc-server-handle string-encoded-json-rpc-request
74 | list-of-legal-functions)
75 | ```
76 |
77 | If successful, the result will be a string containing the JSON-RPC 2.0 [result
78 | response](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#response_object). If an error
79 | occurs, it will contain a JSON-RPC 2.0 [error
80 | response](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#error_object). Errors will be
81 | captured and encoded into strings - they won't be raised above the handler
82 | (unless you are debugging).
83 |
84 | Only functions you have specifically exposed can be called via RPC. You must
85 | pass a list of functions to `json-rpc-server-handle` so it knows which functions it's
86 | allowed to execute, and which it is not.
87 |
88 | ### Examples
89 |
90 | #### Example: Calling a Method
91 |
92 | Encode a request according to the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol. `method` should be the
93 | method name, as a string.
94 |
95 | Here's an example request:
96 |
97 | ```json
98 | {
99 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
100 | "method": "+",
101 | "params": [1, 2, 3],
102 | "id": 29492
103 | }
104 | ```
105 |
106 | Let's encode this into a string and pass it to `json-rpc-server-handle`:
107 |
108 | ```emacs-lisp
109 | (json-rpc-server-handle
110 | "{
111 | \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",
112 | \"method\": \"+\",
113 | \"params\": [1,2,3],
114 | \"id\": 29492
115 | }"
116 | ;; We have to make sure the `+' function is exposed to RPC calls.
117 | '(+))
118 | ```
119 |
120 | `json-rpc-server` will decode the request, then apply the function `+` to the
121 | list `'(1 2 3)`. Here's what the result of `json-rpc-server-handle` will be:
122 |
123 | ```emacs-lisp
124 | "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"result\":6,\"id\":29492}"
125 | ```
126 |
127 | Decoded:
128 |
129 | ```json
130 | {
131 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
132 | "result": 6,
133 | "id": 29492
134 | }
135 | ```
136 |
137 | This string-encoded response can now be returned to the client.
138 |
139 | (See the [Symbols](#symbols) section for how to transfer symbols and keyword
140 | arguments.)
141 |
142 | #### Example: Invalid Request
143 |
144 | This time, let's try an invalid request.
145 |
146 | ```json
147 | {
148 | "params": [1, 2, 3],
149 | "id": 23092
150 | }
151 | ```
152 |
153 | This request is invalid because it has no `"method"`. The call to `json-rpc-server-handle`:
154 |
155 | ```emacs-lisp
156 | (json-rpc-server-handle
157 | "{
158 | \"params\": [1, 2, 3],
159 | \"id\": 23092
160 | }"
161 | '(+))
162 | ```
163 |
164 | Here's what `json-rpc-server-handle` returns:
165 |
166 | ```emacs-lisp
167 | "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"error\":{\"code\":-32600,\"message\":\"`method` was not provided.'\",\"data\":null},\"id\":23092}"
168 | ```
169 |
170 | Decoded:
171 |
172 | ```json
173 | {
174 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
175 | "error": {
176 | "code": -32600,
177 | "message": "`method` was not provided.",
178 | "data": null
179 | },
180 | "id": 23092
181 | }
182 | ```
183 |
184 | Note the `"id"` field. `json-rpc-server-handle` will do its best to extract an `id` from all
185 | requests, even invalid requests, so errors can be synced up to their respective
186 | requests.
187 |
188 | #### Example: Malformed JSON
189 |
190 | If there is a problem with the request (or another error occurs), `json-rpc-server-handle`
191 | will encode a JSON-RPC 2.0 [error
192 | response](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#error_object). Here's an
193 | example.
194 |
195 | Let's try some malformed JSON:
196 |
197 | ```json
198 | {Szx. dsd}
199 | ```
200 |
201 | The call to `json-rpc-server-handle`:
202 |
203 | ```emacs-lisp
204 | (json-rpc-server-handle "{Szx. dsd}" '(+))
205 | ```
206 |
207 | Here's what `json-rpc-server-handle` returns:
208 |
209 | ```emacs-lisp
210 | "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"error\":{\"code\":-32700,\"message\":\"There was an error decoding the request's JSON.\",\"data\":{\"underlying-error\":{\"json-string-format\":[\"doesn't start with `\\\"'!\"]}}},\"id\":null}"
211 | ```
212 |
213 | Decoded:
214 |
215 | ```json
216 | {
217 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
218 | "error": {
219 | "code": -32700,
220 | "message": "There was an error decoding the request's JSON.",
221 | "data": {
222 | "underlying-error": {
223 | "type": "json-string-format",
224 | "data": ["doesn't start with `\"'!"]
225 | }
226 | }
227 | },
228 | "id": null
229 | }
230 | ```
231 |
232 | Note the `"data"` field. Some responses are triggered by an underlying error in
233 | the Elisp, which may contain more meaningful information about the error. When
234 | possible, that will be returned in the `"underlying-error"` field. If there is
235 | no underlying error, this field will not be present.
236 |
237 | #### Example: Batch Requests
238 |
239 | You can also execute multiple requests at once. This is useful if the client
240 | wants to minimize the number of requests they have to make to a slow transport
241 | layer. Each request will be executed, and a string response containing all the
242 | results will be returned. Unlike most JSON-RPC 2.0 protocols, batch requests are
243 | guaranteed to be executed in the same order they were received.
244 |
245 | Let's make two requests - one to a valid function, one to an invalid one. We'll
246 | batch them.
247 |
248 | ```json
249 | [
250 | {
251 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
252 | "method": "+",
253 | "params": [1, 2, 3],
254 | "id": 1
255 | },
256 | {
257 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
258 | "method": "insert",
259 | "params": ["Some text to insert"],
260 | "id": 2
261 | }
262 | ]
263 | ```
264 |
265 | The call to `json-rpc-server-handle`:
266 |
267 | ```emacs-lisp
268 | (json-rpc-server-handle
269 | "[
270 | {
271 | \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",
272 | \"method\": \"+\",
273 | \"params\": [1, 2, 3],
274 | \"id\": 1
275 | },
276 | {
277 | \"jsonrpc\": \"2.0\",
278 | \"method\": \"insert\",
279 | \"params\": [\"Some text to insert\"],
280 | \"id\": 2
281 | }
282 | ]"
283 | ;; Let's expose `+', but not `insert', to demonstrate a result and an error.
284 | '(+))
285 | ```
286 |
287 | Here's what `json-rpc-server-handle` returns:
288 |
289 | ```emacs-lisp
290 | "[{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"result\":6,\"id\":1},{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"error\":{\"code\":-32601,\"message\":\"Function has not been exposed (it may or may not exist). Cannot execute.\",\"data\":null},\"id\":2}]"
291 | ```
292 |
293 | Decoded:
294 |
295 | ```json
296 | [
297 | {
298 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
299 | "result": 6,
300 | "id": 1
301 | },
302 | {
303 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
304 | "error": {
305 | "code": -32601,
306 | "message": "Function has not been exposed (it may or may not exist). Cannot execute.",
307 | "data": null
308 | },
309 | "id": 2
310 | }
311 | ]
312 | ```
313 |
314 | As you can see, one of the function calls executed successfully, another caused
315 | an error. The responses should be returned in the same order their requests were
316 | submitted, but they can also be synchronized based on their `"id"`.
317 |
318 | `json-rpc-server-handle` assumes that requests are atomic until proven otherwise. If your
319 | batch request is *malformed*, `json-rpc-server-handle` will probably not return a batch in
320 | response - it will respond with a single "malformed json" error.
321 |
322 | ## Datatype Limitations
323 |
324 | The structure of JSON limits the types of variables that can be transferred.
325 | JSON only contains six datatypes. Thus, functions exposed by this protocol
326 | must expect certain datatypes.
327 |
328 | The datatypes are mapped as follows:
329 |
330 | | JSON Datatype | Decodeded Elisp Datatype | In JSON | In Elisp |
331 | | --- | --- | --- | --- |
332 | | string | string | `"string"` | `"string"` |
333 | | [quoted string](#symbols) | symbol | `"'symbol"`, `":keyword"` | `'symbol`, `:keyword` |
334 | | number | integer or float | `21`, `3.14` | `21`, `3.14` |
335 | | boolean | `t` or `:json-false` | `true`, `false` | `t`, `:json-false` |
336 | | null | `nil` | `null` | `nil` |
337 | | object | alist | `{"Key": "Value"}` | `'(("Key" . "Value"))'` |
338 | | array | list | `[1, 2, 4, 7]` | `'(1 2 4 7)` |
339 |
340 | Note that alist keys are decoded as strings.
341 |
342 | You may notice that "quoted strings" are decoded differently to normal strings.
343 | See the [Symbols](#symbols) section for a full explanation.
344 |
345 | ### Other Types
346 |
347 | Because of these type limitations, you cannot transfer vectors, plists, hash tables,
348 | cl-structs, etc.
349 |
350 | There is no easy way around this. JSON-RPC provides simplicity, at the cost of
351 | flexibility. If you want to call a function that expects a different type, you
352 | must write an intermediary function that translates from the available ones and
353 | publish your intermediary instead.
354 |
355 | ### Symbols
356 |
357 | Symbols are important in Elisp. Luckily, by abusing the JSON-RPC syntax we can
358 | transfer symbols. Strings beginning with a single quote will be decoded into
359 | symbols. Strings that start with a single colon will be decoded into keywords.
360 |
361 | For example:
362 |
363 | - The string `"'a-symbol"` becomes the symbol `'a-symbol`.
364 | - The string `":a-keyword"` becomes the symbol `:a-keyword`.
365 | - `"'wrapped-string'"` does not change, because it contains multiple quotes. It
366 | will stay a string.
367 |
368 | Let's send a list:
369 |
370 | ```json
371 | ["a string", "'a-symbol", ":a-keyword"]
372 | ```
373 |
374 | That list will be decoded into:
375 |
376 | ```emacs-lisp
377 | '("a string" a-symbol :a-keyword)
378 | ```
379 |
380 | ### Keyword Arguments
381 |
382 | By default, JSON-RPC 2.0
383 | [requires](https://www.jsonrpc.org/specification#parameter_structures) that
384 | keyword arguments be passed as "objects" (you might know them as dictionaries -
385 | `{"keyword": "value"}`). This is not supported. In Elisp, you cannot reference
386 | positional arguments by name and they may be mixed with keyword arguments.
387 | Objects aren't compatible with that structure.
388 |
389 | If you want to pass keyword arguments, you must encode them as a list:
390 |
391 | ```json
392 | {
393 | "params": ["positional-arg",
394 | ":keyword1", "value1",
395 | ":keyword2", "value2"]
396 | }
397 | ```
398 |
399 | #### Example: Symbols and Keyword Arguments
400 |
401 | Here's an example of a request containing symbols and a keyword argument. Let's
402 | say we want Emacs to [flash the line](https://github.com/rolandwalker/nav-flash)
403 | after we scroll up, so we can keep track of the cursor.
404 |
405 | In Elisp, we could do something like this:
406 |
407 | ```emacs-lisp
408 | ;; Advise the `scroll-up' function to call `nav-flash-show' afterwards.
409 | (advice-add 'scroll-up :after 'nav-flash-show)
410 | ```
411 |
412 | Here's how to encode that in a JSON-RPC call:
413 |
414 | ```json
415 | {
416 | "jsonrpc": "2.0",
417 | "method": "advice-add",
418 | "params": ["'scroll-up" ":after" "'nav-flash-show"],
419 | "id": 29492,
420 | }
421 | ```
422 |
423 | This would be encoded into a string and passed to `json-rpc-server-handle`. It will decode a function call similar to the following:
424 |
425 | ```emacs-lisp
426 | (apply
427 | 'advice-add
428 | '(switch-to-buffer
429 | :after
430 | save-current-buffer))
431 | ```
432 |
433 | Expressed another way, this is equivalent to:
434 |
435 | ```emacs-lisp
436 | (advice-add 'switch-to-buffer :after 'save-current-buffer)
437 | ```
438 |
439 | (Please note that this would be terrible way to flash the line in actual Emacs.
440 | Don't use it. You'd have to wait between each scroll press.)
441 |
442 | ## Installation
443 |
444 | The package itself is named `json-rpc-server`. It's easiest to install from MELPA. Make sure it's in your list of repositories, then:
445 |
446 | ```text
447 | M-x package-install RET json-rpc-server RET
448 | ```
449 |
450 | Once installed, require it with:
451 |
452 | ```emacs-lisp
453 | (require 'json-rpc-server)
454 | ```
455 |
456 | ## List of Transport Layers
457 |
458 | If you want to actually make RPC calls to Emacs, you need to use a transport
459 | layer. Here's a list:
460 |
461 | | Project | Protocol |
462 | | ------- | -------- |
463 | | [`Porthole`](http://www.github.com/jcaw/porthole) | HTTP |
464 |
465 | Have you written one? Open a pull request and I'll add it.
466 |
467 | ## FAQ
468 |
469 | - Is it compatible with older versions of JSON-RPC?
470 |
471 | Yes. It should work fine with older JSON-RPC requests. However, they aren't
472 | officially supported and the response will still be JSON-RPC 2.0.
473 |
474 | - Does it support keyword arguments?
475 |
476 | Yes, but not in the standard format. You may not pass them as objects. Pass
477 | them [as lists](#keyword-arguments), just like in Elisp.
478 |
479 | - How can I send a [vector, hash table, etc]?
480 |
481 | [You can't](#other-types). You have to write an intermediate function that constructs these
482 | types from alists, strings, etc.
483 |
484 | - Does it support notifications?
485 |
486 | No. All requests block until a value is returned (or an error occurs). This
487 | could be implemented at the transport level, if desired.
488 |
489 | - Does it support batch requests?
490 |
491 | Yes. See the [batch requests](#example-batch-requests) example.
492 |
493 | - Can I run multiple servers at once?
494 |
495 | `json-rpc-server` has a somewhat misleading name. It's not a server, it's a
496 | server-side implementation of the protocol. The transport layer can run as
497 | many servers as it likes.
498 |
499 | - Are you open to pull requests?
500 |
501 | Yes! Please pull against the
502 | [develop](https://github.com/jcaw/json-rpc-server.el/tree/develop) branch.

24 | ;;; Commentary:
25 |
26 | ;; This is a full implementation of the JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol[1] for Emacs. You
27 | ;; pass in a JSON string, Emacs executes the specified function(s), and a
28 | ;; JSON-RPC 2.0 response is returned.
29 |
30 | ;; It was originally part of Porthole, a full-fledged HTTP-based RPC server for
31 | ;; Emacs:
32 |
33 | ;; http://www.github.com/jcaw/porthole
34 |
35 | ;; The underlying JSON-RPC protocol was extracted into a separate package so
36 | ;; that it could serve as a framework on which other RPC servers could be built.
37 |
38 | ;; *No transport logic is included.* This package is designed to sit underneath
39 | ;; a transport layer, which is responsible for communicate with external
40 | ;; clients. Since JSON-RPC provides no inbuilt mechanism for authenticating
41 | ;; requests, the transport layer should also handle authentication.
42 |
43 | ;; Here's en example request:
44 |
45 | ;; {
46 | ;; "jsonrpc": "2.0",
47 | ;; "method": "insert",
48 | ;; "params": ["some text to insert"],
49 | ;; "id": "3140983184"
50 | ;; }
51 |
52 | ;; Pass this as a string to `json-rpc-server-handle' - the specified text will
53 | ;; be inserted and the return value of the call to `insert' will be encoded into
54 | ;; a response.
55 |
56 | ;; Symbols and keywords can be passed by abusing the JSON-RPC syntax as follows:
57 |
58 | ;; {
59 | ;; "a symbol": "'a-symbol",
60 | ;; "a keyword": ":a-keyword"
61 | ;; }
62 |
63 | ;; This is a simplified explanation of the package that glosses over a lot of
64 | ;; details. Please refer to the full README[3] for an up-to-date and thorough
65 | ;; explanation.

750 |
751 | 1. Notifications are not supported. All RPC requests will
752 | receive a response. Notifications may be implemented above
753 | this layer, at the transport level.

1 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
2 | Version 3, 29 June 2007
3 |
4 | Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
5 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
7 |
8 | Preamble
9 |
10 | The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
11 | software and other kinds of works.
12 |
13 | The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
14 | to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
15 | the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
16 | share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
17 | software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
18 | GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
19 | any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
20 | your programs, too.
21 |
22 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
23 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
24 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
25 | them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
26 | want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
27 | free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
28 |
29 | To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
30 | these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
31 | certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
32 | you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
33 |
34 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
35 | gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
36 | freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
37 | or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
38 | know their rights.
39 |
40 | Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
41 | (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
42 | giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
43 |
44 | For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
45 | that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
46 | authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
47 | changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
48 | authors of previous versions.
49 |
50 | Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
51 | modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
52 | can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
53 | protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
54 | pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
55 | use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
56 | have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
57 | products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
58 | stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
59 | of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
60 |
61 | Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
62 | States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
63 | software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
64 | avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
65 | make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
66 | patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
67 |
68 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
69 | modification follow.
70 |
71 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS
72 |
73 | 0. Definitions.
74 |
75 | "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
76 |
77 | "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
78 | works, such as semiconductor masks.
79 |
80 | "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
81 | License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
82 | "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
83 |
84 | To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
85 | in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
86 | exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
87 | earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
88 |
89 | A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
90 | on the Program.
91 |
92 | To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
93 | permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
94 | infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
95 | computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
96 | distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
97 | public, and in some countries other activities as well.
98 |
99 | To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
100 | parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
101 | a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
102 |
103 | An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
104 | to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
105 | feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
106 | tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
107 | extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
108 | work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
109 | the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
110 | menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
111 |
112 | 1. Source Code.
113 |
114 | The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
115 | for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
116 | form of a work.
117 |
118 | A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
119 | standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
120 | interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
121 | is widely used among developers working in that language.
122 |
123 | The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
124 | than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
125 | packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
126 | Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
127 | Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
128 | implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
129 | "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
130 | (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
131 | (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
132 | produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
133 |
134 | The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
135 | the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
136 | work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
137 | control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
138 | System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
139 | programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
140 | which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
141 | includes interface definition files associated with source files for
142 | the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
143 | linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
144 | such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
145 | subprograms and other parts of the work.
146 |
147 | The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
148 | can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
149 | Source.
150 |
151 | The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
152 | same work.
153 |
154 | 2. Basic Permissions.
155 |
156 | All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
157 | copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
158 | conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
159 | permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
160 | covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
161 | content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
162 | rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
163 |
164 | You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
165 | convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
166 | in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
167 | of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
168 | with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
169 | the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
170 | not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
171 | for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
172 | and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
173 | your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
174 |
175 | Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
176 | the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
177 | makes it unnecessary.
178 |
179 | 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
180 |
181 | No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
182 | measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
183 | 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
184 | similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
185 | measures.
186 |
187 | When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
188 | circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
189 | is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
190 | the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
191 | modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
192 | users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
193 | technological measures.
194 |
195 | 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
196 |
197 | You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
198 | receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
199 | appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
200 | keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
201 | non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
202 | keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
203 | recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
204 |
205 | You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
206 | and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
207 |
208 | 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
209 |
210 | You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
211 | produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
212 | terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
213 |
214 | a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
215 | it, and giving a relevant date.
216 |
217 | b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
218 | released under this License and any conditions added under section
219 | 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
220 | "keep intact all notices".
221 |
222 | c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
223 | License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
224 | License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
225 | additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
226 | regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
227 | permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
228 | invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
229 |
230 | d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
231 | Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
232 | interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
233 | work need not make them do so.
234 |
235 | A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
236 | works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
237 | and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
238 | in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
239 | "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
240 | used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
241 | beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
242 | in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
243 | parts of the aggregate.
244 |
245 | 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
246 |
247 | You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
248 | of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
249 | machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
250 | in one of these ways:
251 |
252 | a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
253 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
254 | Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
255 | customarily used for software interchange.
256 |
257 | b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
258 | (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
259 | written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
260 | long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
261 | model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
262 | copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
263 | product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
264 | medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
265 | more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
266 | conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
267 | Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
268 |
269 | c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
270 | written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
271 | alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
272 | only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
273 | with subsection 6b.
274 |
275 | d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
276 | place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
277 | Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
278 | further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
279 | Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
280 | copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
281 | may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
282 | that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
283 | clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
284 | Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
285 | Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
286 | available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
287 |
288 | e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
289 | you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
290 | Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
291 | charge under subsection 6d.
292 |
293 | A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
294 | from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
295 | included in conveying the object code work.
296 |
297 | A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
298 | tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
299 | or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
300 | into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
301 | doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
302 | product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
303 | typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
304 | of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
305 | actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
306 | is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
307 | commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
308 | the only significant mode of use of the product.
309 |
310 | "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
311 | procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
312 | and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
313 | a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
314 | suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
315 | code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
316 | modification has been made.
317 |
318 | If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
319 | specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
320 | part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
321 | User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
322 | fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
323 | Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
324 | by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
325 | if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
326 | modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
327 | been installed in ROM).
328 |
329 | The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
330 | requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
331 | for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
332 | the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
333 | network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
334 | adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
335 | protocols for communication across the network.
336 |
337 | Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
338 | in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
339 | documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
340 | source code form), and must require no special password or key for
341 | unpacking, reading or copying.
342 |
343 | 7. Additional Terms.
344 |
345 | "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
346 | License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
347 | Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
348 | be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
349 | that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
350 | apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
351 | under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
352 | this License without regard to the additional permissions.
353 |
354 | When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
355 | remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
356 | it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
357 | removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
358 | additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
359 | for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
360 |
361 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
362 | add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
363 | that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
364 |
365 | a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
366 | terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
367 |
368 | b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
369 | author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
370 | Notices displayed by works containing it; or
371 |
372 | c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
373 | requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
374 | reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
375 |
376 | d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
377 | authors of the material; or
378 |
379 | e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
380 | trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
381 |
382 | f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
383 | material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
384 | it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
385 | any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
386 | those licensors and authors.
387 |
388 | All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
389 | restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
390 | received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
391 | governed by this License along with a term that is a further
392 | restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
393 | a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
394 | License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
395 | of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
396 | not survive such relicensing or conveying.
397 |
398 | If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
399 | must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
400 | additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
401 | where to find the applicable terms.
402 |
403 | Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
404 | form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
405 | the above requirements apply either way.
406 |
407 | 8. Termination.
408 |
409 | You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
410 | provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
411 | modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
412 | this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
413 | paragraph of section 11).
414 |
415 | However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
416 | license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
417 | provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
418 | finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
419 | holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
420 | prior to 60 days after the cessation.
421 |
422 | Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
423 | reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
424 | violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
425 | received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
426 | copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
427 | your receipt of the notice.
428 |
429 | Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
430 | licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
431 | this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
432 | reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
433 | material under section 10.
434 |
435 | 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
436 |
437 | You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
438 | run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
439 | occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
440 | to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
441 | nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
442 | modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
443 | not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
444 | covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
445 |
446 | 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
447 |
448 | Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
449 | receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
450 | propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
451 | for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
452 |
453 | An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
454 | organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
455 | organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
456 | work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
457 | transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
458 | licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
459 | give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
460 | Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
461 | the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
462 |
463 | You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
464 | rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
465 | not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
466 | rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
467 | (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
468 | any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
469 | sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
470 |
471 | 11. Patents.
472 |
473 | A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
474 | License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
475 | work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
476 |
477 | A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
478 | owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
479 | hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
480 | by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
481 | but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
482 | consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
483 | purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
484 | patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
485 | this License.
486 |
487 | Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
488 | patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
489 | make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
490 | propagate the contents of its contributor version.
491 |
492 | In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
493 | agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
494 | (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
495 | sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
496 | party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
497 | patent against the party.
498 |
499 | If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
500 | and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
501 | to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
502 | publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
503 | then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
504 | available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
505 | patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
506 | consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
507 | license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
508 | actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
509 | covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
510 | in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
511 | country that you have reason to believe are valid.
512 |
513 | If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
514 | arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
515 | covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
516 | receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
517 | or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
518 | you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
519 | work and works based on it.
520 |
521 | A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
522 | the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
523 | conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
524 | specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
525 | work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
526 | in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
527 | to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
528 | the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
529 | parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
530 | patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
531 | conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
532 | for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
533 | contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
534 | or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
535 |
536 | Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
537 | any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
538 | otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
539 |
540 | 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
541 |
542 | If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
543 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
544 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
545 | covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
546 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
547 | not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
548 | to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
549 | the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
550 | License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
551 |
552 | 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
553 |
554 | Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
555 | permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
556 | under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
557 | combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
558 | License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
559 | but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
560 | section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
561 | combination as such.
562 |
563 | 14. Revised Versions of this License.
564 |
565 | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
566 | the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
567 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
568 | address new problems or concerns.
569 |
570 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
571 | Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
572 | Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
573 | option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
574 | version or of any later version published by the Free Software
575 | Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
576 | GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
577 | by the Free Software Foundation.
578 |
579 | If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
580 | versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
581 | public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
582 | to choose that version for the Program.
583 |
584 | Later license versions may give you additional or different
585 | permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
586 | author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
587 | later version.
588 |
589 | 15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
590 |
591 | THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
592 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
593 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
594 | OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
595 | THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
596 | PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
597 | IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
598 | ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
599 |
600 | 16. Limitation of Liability.
601 |
602 | IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
603 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
604 | THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
605 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
606 | USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
607 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
608 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
609 | EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
610 | SUCH DAMAGES.
611 |
612 | 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
613 |
614 | If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
615 | above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
616 | reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
617 | an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
618 | Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
619 | copy of the Program in return for a fee.
620 |
621 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
622 |
623 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
624 |
625 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
626 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
627 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
628 |
629 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
630 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
631 | state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
632 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
633 |
634 |
635 | Copyright (C)
636 |
637 | This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
638 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
639 | the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
640 | (at your option) any later version.
641 |
642 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
643 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
644 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
645 | GNU General Public License for more details.
646 |
647 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
648 | along with this program. If not, see .
649 |
650 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
651 |
652 | If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
653 | notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
654 |
655 | Copyright (C)
656 | This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
657 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
658 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
659 |
660 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
661 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
662 | might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
663 |
664 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
665 | if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
666 | For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
667 | .
668 |
