FireFox

My guess is you wouldn't be reading this unless you already knew what a web browser is. However, if you don't then its the software used to visit web pages on the Internet.

The Internet is just one big giant network of computers. All connected to each other by many and varied means, and those computers that are 'on the net' are in reach of anyone with an Internet connection. Some of these computers are 'web servers'. These are computers that run software that allows web pages to be delivered from that computer - hence the name 'webserver'. Web servers 'serve' webpages. If you want to access these pages then you need software that knows how to do this. This is the purpose of the browser.

Browsers have had one of the most public and interesting competitive lives of any software. The first browser that could show images alongside text was known as Mosaic, and it really was an innovation that has changed the world. However, while Mosaic (and later Netscape Navigator), were first to the game, they failed to corner the market and after a relatively short and aggressive market war, Internet Explorer (made by Microsoft) took the game away.

Recently there has been a new chapter added to this story. FireFox has come on the scene and it is a distant descendant of Mosaic. However the market war is really over, which is a pity as FireFox is the best browser you can get and continues to innovate and impress. FireFox runs on any operating system, it runs better than any other browser, and its free...

Installing Firefox on OS X

Software name : Firefox
Homepage : http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/
Software version used for this installation : 2.0
Operating System use for this installation : OSX (10.3.9)
Recommended Hardware : G3 minimum

Downloading Firefox

The latest stable version of Firefox for OS X can be downloaded from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/. The latest version at the time of writing this document is Firefox 2.0.

To download Firefox simply click on the big green button labeled "Download Firefox - Free."

Once the download is complete a window like this will pop up:

This is the Software License Agreement? for Firefox 2.0. Read through it and click 'Accept' to continue with the installation.

After this you should be able to see a window like this:

This window is basically providing visual instructions for you to copy Firefox into your Applications folder.
The easiest way to do this is to open a 'Finder' window and click on the Firefox Disk Image? to select it. You can then copy copy Firefox into your Applications folder simply by dragging the Firefox icon from in the Disk Image to your Applications folder.

That completes the basic installation of Firefox so you should now be able to see the Firefox icon in your Applications folder.

To open Firefox simply double-click on this icon.

The first time you open Firefox you will see an Import Wizard? like this:

The Import Wizard lets you import useful data such as Bookmarks and Preferences from another Web Browser that you have been using. Click on the Browser you wish to import data from (or select "Don't import anything" if you wish to start Firefox with a clean slate) and then click "Continue."

Next you will the following window:

This window lets you choose whether or not you want to set Firefox as your default browser (i.e. the browser that launches whenever you click on a link in another document such as an e-mail). It is entirely up to you what you choose so just click "Yes" or "No" to continue.

That completes the installation process so Firefox will now open and you can begin using it to surf the internet.

Installing Firefox on Ubuntu

Software name : Firefox
Homepage : http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Software version used for this installation : 2.0.0.3
Operating System use for this installation : Ubuntu 7.04
Recommended Hardware : 200 MHz processor

Firefox is already installed on Ubuntu. Accessing it is quite easy. If you are using an installation of Ubuntu with no changes to the default Desktop, then you can simply move your mouse to the Applications menu.

If you place your mouse over the Firefox Web Browser (as in the above example) and take your finger off the mouse button then the Firefox will start, and within a short time you should see something like this on your screen:

Installing Firefox on Windows

Software name : Firefox
Homepage : http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Software version used for this installation : Firefox 2.0.0.3
Operating System use for this installation : Windows 2000
Recommended Hardware : 200 MHz processor, 11MB free Hard disk space

To install Firefox on Windows you need to first download the installer from the Firefox home page.

Dowload Firefox

Probably if you want to download Firefox on Windows you will already have Internet Explorer installed. In which case open it (or any other browser) and visit the Firefox download page. You can download Firefox from the very front of the Firefox site as the page detects what language and what operating system you are using on your computer. It then gives you the option to download Firefox immediately :

If you decide you do not want to download this version (you need another language or you want to download the software for another operating system) then you can visit this page - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all

From the above webpage you can choose from about 40 different languages and each has a version of Firefox suitable for Windows.

Lets assume you just want the version listed on the front page. In this case just click the big green button :

Now yopu will be redirected to a download page and the installer should just start downloading automatically :

What you see as you download depends on the browser you are using to download the file. If you use Internet Explorer you will probably see something like the above. Whatever you use, make sure you know where on your computer you are saving the installer. I usually save everything to the Desktop. In my case I would just press OK and choose to save the file on the Desktop like so:

I just press Save and the download begins:

When the download has finished I will see the following :

Now, I could just press Open here and the newly downloaded installer would begin. I could do this, but since I don't know if you are downloading in a similar fashion lets just close this (I press Close) and we will then open the directory where the installer has been downloaded. In my case the installer is on the Desktop and if I go there I see the installer icon :

Now double-click on this icon and you should see the following screen :

When the 'extracting' screen stops doing its job (it might take a while on slower computers) then you will be presented with the first set-up screen :

Click on Next > and then you will see the licence agreemnt displayed:

You can decide to read the license if you want but generally its more interesting watching paint dry. Click on I accept the terms in the License Agreement and press Next > and you will see the following screen asking for you to choose what kind of installation you require:

Lets make life easy on ourselves and just leave the installation with the standard settings, in this case we just press Next > and off we go to the next window which shows you the progress of the software being installed:

When the process has completed it will inform you :

That means that all is well, press Finish and Firefox should open up :

Opening A URL

The most straightforward way to view a website with Firefox is to enter a URL? into the 'Address Bar.'

With Firefox open triple-click in the 'Address Bar' to select all of the current URL.

Now type the URL of the website you wish to visit. You don't need to type "http://" at the beginning.

Now press Enter or Return.

That's all there is to it. Firefox should now open the URL that you entered.

Firefox Live Bookmarks

Software name: Firefox
Software version used for this installation: 2.0.0.3

Websites are updated regularly. If you want to keep track of updates from a particular site you ask Firefox to inform you when new content is published. This process is called 'Live Bookmarking' in the Firefox world.

Not all sites can be tracked in this manner. A website has to enable this functionality by using what is also known as 'RSS' (also commonly called a 'feed'). Typically feeds are used on news sites so you can keep track of headlines, however it can be used by any website and RSS is also the technology behind Podcasts.

When you keep track of a website via RSS, this is usually known as 'subscribing' to the content or 'subscribing to a feed'. However Firefox calls this 'Live Bookmarking'.

The advantage of subscribing to content in this manner is that you don't have to keep visiting the website to see whats new. Firefox will track the site for you and inform you of changes. If you use Live Bookmarking to subscribe to a Podcast then Firefox sends the subscription information to whichever software you have that manages your Podcasts.

Which sites can be 'Live Bookmarked'

Before you try to subscribe to a website you first need to know if that site supports subscriptions. Fortunately Firefox makes this easy by displaying an icon in the location bar of the browser.

Up close you can see the icon looks like this:

If you see this icon then you can subscribe to the feed (make a live book mark).

How to make a Live Bookmark

To make the live bookmark you must now click on the icon:

A drop down menu will then appear, this is a list of all the 'feeds' you may subscribe to:

You can then scroll down the list to choose your bookmark:

When you have selected the feed you wish to subscribe to, then release the mouse and Firefox will bring up the information about the feed in the browser window:

This page displays the channel name of the feed (in this case it is 'Mozilla Developer News') and a list of headlines and news items. If you like the look of this feed you can now make a decision to subscribe using a 'live bookmark' or using another application to handle the feed. We are going to keep with making a live bookmark so we just make sure the drop down box displayed says "Live Bookmarks":

Press the "Subscribe Now" button:

You will now see a pop up that asks you where you want to store the information:

Here we can choose where we want to have the bookmark stored. if you choose the default ('Bookmarks Toolbar Folder') then your live bookmarks will actually display in your browser in the bar below your address bar. So, lets just stick with the default and press 'Add'. When you have done this then you will see the bookmark appear in the 'bookmark toolbar' like so:

You can see in the above image the live bookmark icon for the feed I just subscribed to has appeared on the right.

Accessing the live bookmark

To use the bookmark you just need to click on the icon in the bookmark toolbar, and scroll down to the item you want to read:

When you do this Firefox will open the news item for your reading pleasure. Remember that you can check the live bookmark regularly and see if there are any new items (thats the whole point!).

Podcasts

You can also use Firefox to help manage your Podcasts. Firefox won't keep track of the Podcasts themselves but you can ask Firefox to pass the subscription information to your favorite Podcasting software. So, lets assume that you found a Podcast online. There is any number of ways the Podcaster might wish to display the link to the Podcast. It might be there is an image on the page that you click on or just a normal text link. Whichever way it is, there is no general way of doing it. So lets assume you are offered a link to the Podcast, when you click on it you will see something like this open in Firefox:

This is a Podcast, not a news feed, so we don't want Firefox to manage the Podcast. We want to pass the subscription information to the Podcast software. In this example I will pass the subscription RSS file to a software called 'Rhythmbox' (A MP3 player and Podcast manager for Linux). To do this I just change the selection in the drop down box which currently reads 'Live Bookmarks':

In this example the Rhythmbox software would then be displayed in the drop down box like so:

I would then press 'Subscribe' and the subscription information will hopefully be passed to Rhythmbox and it will start downloading my new Podcast(s).

In the above example I can choose the rhythmbox software easily for this because I have previously directed Firefox to use the software. However, your software probably does not show in this menu. In this case you will need to choose the option 'Choose Application', however nothing will happen in either situation until you press the Subscribe button. For example if you select 'Choose Application' you will see this:

If you then press 'Subscribe' you will get a filebrowser that you can use to browse the files and folders on your computer in search of your favorite Podcast software, like so:

fffilebrowser_1

In the above case you would then find your Podcast software, click on its name, and press 'Open'. Then you would press 'Subscribe' and the subscription information should be passed your Podcast software.

Firefox Add-ons

Software name : Firefox
Homepage : http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/
Software version used for this installation : 2.0.0.3

Firefox can do a lot more than your average browser. One of the ways you use Firefox for something other than just browsing the web is to install Add-ons. The installation process is the same for Firefox on any Operating System, so you can install them on Windows, Linux, or MacOSX (you must first have Firefox installed!).

What is a Firefox Add-on?

Many softwares can extend their functionality in a modular way. You download a module and install it and then the original software inherits the functionality of this new module. In the Firefox world these modules are call Add-ons. Usually these are not developed by the Firefox development team themselves, instead any programmer can create an Add-on and offer it for use. Most of these Add-ons are interesting if not entirely useful, some however are very useful. It may take a while to pick your way through the long list of official Add-ons to find something that you like but it can be well worth the effort.

The functionality available from Add-ons is very wide. You can add dictionaries to Firefox, change the look of Firefox, display the time in different countries in the browser, or an Add-on might suggest other websites you can visit that are similar to the one you are looking at. The scope is pretty huge.

If you want to see what is available then first have a quick read of the Firefox Add-ons page:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

The list of Add-on categories are here : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/browse/

You should browse the list and see whats available.

As a word of warning - it is possible to create Add-ons that can do a number of things you might not like. An Add-on can read a lot of information from your browser as you browse sites or might use various tricks to get, add, alter, or destroy data on you have on your computer. It is for this reason that you should never install an Add-on unless it is from a trusted source. In my case I never install an Add-on for Firefox unless it is available from the Firefox Add-on pages.

Installing an Add-on

The process for installation of an Add-on is very simple. Actually its a bit too simple, and if you are the kind of person that likes gadgets then your might find your browser overwhelmed in a very short time with all sorts of new bells and whistles. You just need to find the Add-on you want and click the install link then Firefox downloads the Add-on for you and installs it for you. For this example I am just going to go to the Recommended Add-ons page :

https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/recommended

Here we see a list of Add-ons available that the Firefox team recommend you consider. Your list will almost certainly differ from mine (depending on when you read this). At the time of writing the list includes, amongst other things, the Add-on called Download Statusbar.

You can follow this example with any Add-on but if you would like to follow it more closely and Download Statusbar does not appear in the list of recommended Add-ons then you can always put its title into the search field at the top of the page:

To proceed with the installation click on the underlined title of the Add-on. You will then be taken to the Add-ons 'home' page.

All you have to do is click on the Install Now (the big green button at the bottom of the Add-ons home page). You will see something like this:

If you trust this Add-on (and I do) then press the Install Now button on this window. Then the browser will automatically begin downloading and installing the add-on and a screen will pop up which shows the progress of this process. When it is complete you will see this:

You need to restart Firefox for the Add-on to take effect, so hit the Restart Firefox button. The browser will then close and open again, it might take a few minutes. In the case of Download Statusbar you will see a new window when Firefox starts up again :

You can browse through this information and press Close when you have finished. An information window like this is shown the first time the browser is restarted after a new Add-on is installed. Now the Add-on is installed and ready. If I start to download something I can see in the statusbar the new Add-onat work:

Depending on which one you have installed you may have to search around the browser window to find it!

FireFTP

FireFTP is one of the worlds little rays of sunshine. If you have access to a server (webserver) and you have an ftp account on that server, then using FireFTP you can put all your html files, podcasts, media files, backup files, or anything you want online. It works across OSX, Windows, and Linux - this is very useful if you ever find yourself on someone else's machine or if you travel and find yourself stranded in an internet cafe in desperate need of an ftp application. Its free software, the download size is extremely small, and even better...the installation process is automated via Firefox, all you need is to do to install it is press one button. Its truly a wonderful thing.

Installing

FireFTP is a Firefox add-on so installation is easy. You just have to visit the Firefox Add-ons page - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

Then use the search function and type 'fireftp'

Press 'search' and you should see something like this:

Now click on the blue FireFTP title and you will sent to the installation page for FireFTP where you should spot something like this:

Now click on the big Green 'Install Now' button and an installation window will pop up :

Click on the Install Now' button. You will see a window pop up with a progress bar :

When the download and installation is finished (it all occurs automatically) you will see the following announcement :

Now press the 'Restart Firefox' button and the browser will quit and then restart. When it has restarted the FireFTP Add-on will be fully functional.

Starting FireFTP

All you need to do is click on the Tools menu and choose 'FireFTP' :

FireFTP will now open in a new window within Firefox :

The above is the FireFTP actually opens within the browser which might be a bit confusing at first. It will appear alongside all your other tabs (if you use tabs), its the same place as a normal webpage but its actually a full blown ftp application. If you are working from a laptop or have limited screen space then using FireFTP this way can be a great method to avoid continuously switching between an FTP application (to upload files to a website) and a browser (to see the changes in the website you changed).

The first time you open FireFTP you will also be presented with the homepage of FireFTP (which is a webpage and not part of the FTP functionality), it looks like this :

The developer states that you should not donate if you don't want to. The software is absolutely free and he does not wish people to be put off by his suggestion for a donation. So do what you will, it looks like a pretty fantastic cause to me. Donate if you wish to, otherwise read what you will an close this page, it won't appear again when you open FireFTP.

Sending a file to your server

We will now look at putting one of your files online. First of all you will need the details of your server. Specifically you need to know :

Host - the domain name or IP address of your web server
Username (also called 'Login') - the username for the account on the server
Password - the password for the account

We are going to go through this excercise with the assumption that you don't have any security on your FTP account. This is the way most FTP accounts are set up, if you are unsure of the situation with your webserver FTP access then contact the person that created the account for you. The first thing you need to do is store these details in FireFTP so you can access the webserver quickly (assuming you want to use FTP frequently with the same server, otherwise you use the 'Quick Connect' function located under the 'Manage Accounts' menu item). To store the details click on the 'Create Account' button :

The 'Create an Account' button only appears the first time you set up an account on FireFTP. After this the button turns into a drop down menu where you can quickly access your accounts (you would then create a new account via the 'Manage Accounts' menu item and choose 'New...'). When you have clicked on 'Create an account' button you will see a new window pop up with a lot of empty fields.

Its here where we enter all the details for our account on our webserver. I will make some details up for this example, lets use the following information :

Host : www.flossmanuals.net
Login : mrfloss
Password : letmein

These details are fake but they will do for the purposes of showing you what information goes where. So now I would enter the information into the corresponding empty fields. The only field we don't have information for is the first one 'Account name', but we can enter the other information.

What you see in the above is that FireFTP copies the information you input in the 'Host' field into the 'Account Name'. The Account Name is nothing more than a name of this webserver account so we can remeber it when using FireFTP (you can choose it from a drop down menu if you ahve multiple webserver accounts stored). This is handy, but perhaps we want to give it another name we can replace the information, lets do this - I'm going to call the account 'fm' :

Now we can end the set up by pressing OK

Now nothing will really appear to have changed in the FireFTP window but if we look closely we can see that the 'Create an account' button has now changed its appearance and has instead the name of the account you just created ('fm' in the example above):

If you click on this item you will get a drop down menu where you can select from the accounts you have stored here. Since we only have one account so far we will only see one offered, we just scroll down and choose that account:

Connecting

Once the account is selected we just press Connect and FireFTP will attempt to make a connection with your server.

There is very little feedback that this is happening but if you look closely you will see at the bottom of the window there is a progress bar (bottom right) :

and there is also a 'Connecting' text as shown above.

When the application has connected you will see the right side of the FireFTP window display the files on your webserver :

The window on the left shows the files on your computer, the right shows the files on webserver. To navigate through either you must click on the folder icons. Practice this a bit to find the files you want to transfer (on your computer) and the place where you want to transfer the files to on the server.

Transferring files

Now to transfer a file to the webserver you first need to select it on the left window.

In the above example I have chosen to upload the file 'sqs2.jpg' to the server. I have clicked on the file to choose it for transfer, now I press the green arrow pointing to the right :

When I have done this I once again see some feedback at the bottom right of the window:

This tells me there is a file being transfered. When the progress bar stops I should see the file on the right hand side listing my webserver files.

Thats it. You have transferred your first files from your computer to a webserver using FireFTP. You can also transfer entire directories (by highlighting a directory instead of a file) or multiple files (by clicking on many files to highlight them). Additionally if you highlight files or folders on webserver you can then click on the green arrow pointing top the left to tarsnfer them to your computer.

General Public License

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) 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 this service 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 make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. 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.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute 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 and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
: b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
: c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
: b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
: c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 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 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the 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 a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 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.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE 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.
