GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 19 November 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The GNU Affero General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of works, specifically designed to ensure
cooperation with the community in the case of network server software.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
our General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
software for all its users.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights
with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer
you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
and/or modify the software.
A secondary benefit of defending all users' freedom is that
improvements made in alternate versions of the program, if they
receive widespread use, become available for other developers to
incorporate. Many developers of free software are heartened and
encouraged by the resulting cooperation. However, in the case of
software used on network servers, this result may fail to come about.
The GNU General Public License permits making a modified version and
letting the public access it on a server without ever releasing its
source code to the public.
The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
code of the modified version.
An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits relicensing under
this license.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under this License and any conditions added under section
7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
source code form), and must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material; or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Remote Network Interaction; Use with the GNU General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU General Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
but the work with which it is combined will remain governed by version
3 of the GNU General Public License.
14. Revised Versions of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
the GNU Affero General Public License from time to time. Such new versions
will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU Affero General
Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
GNU Affero General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU Affero General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License as published
by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or
(at your option) any later version.
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU Affero General Public License for more details.
You should have received a copy of the GNU Affero General Public License
along with this program. If not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
If your software can interact with users remotely through a computer
network, you should also make sure that it provides a way for users to
get its source. For example, if your program is a web application, its
interface could display a "Source" link that leads users to an archive
of the code. There are many ways you could offer source, and different
solutions will be better for different programs; see section 13 for the
specific requirements.
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU AGPL, see
<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.

# MinetestTycoon
Explore the world, invent technologies, develop products and services and
become Minetest Tycoon, selling them to the natives of the world and,
possibly, other players as well.
## The story
You are an interdimensional explorer with a team of scientists you hired to
help you with your quest. One day you and your group of scientists were doing
an experiment with a new type of exploratory base hull which aimed at
exploring worlds with "strange physics" (as some folks in your team used to
call it) more safely than with the way used until now. The idea was that your
base will maintain a tether to your homeworld so you can evacuate you and
your team if things go south while exploring.
The experiment [went horribly wrong](lore/disaster.md) and the tether
connection to your homeworld was lost. What made the matter worse is that
even the data uplink leading back to your homeworld was also lost. As a
result, you and your scientists ended up trapped in one of these worlds with
this "strange physics", without a way to reach your homeworld. Additionally,
you know that no one in your homeworld knows your location or whether you are
alive or not, so you are on your own. Fortunately, you
with your team already had a few avatars for the world that was your
destination (and you actually ended up there), so you have a chance to start
exploring the world, which (at least for now) became your new home.
So, now you are only with some basic equipment to allow you to connect to an
avatar and begin exploring. And with a large group of your scientific
friends, all waiting in hibernation to conserve the resources of the base
(food and energy). You are now on your own. Can you find a way to survive,
thrive and, possibly, find a way to bring your people and all the lost teams
of scientists home?
### Your new home
The world you ended up in was on the radar of the scientific community of
Arepol for a long while. Rumor has it that dozens of science teams
were lost in this world as they tried to explore it. As a matter of fact,
one of the goals of your base hull project was to create a base facility that
would allow you to find these lost teams and bring them back home. All that
is known about them for now is that they are not dead, they are hibernated
as all the base hulls they used are designed to hibernate them when they run
out of resources needed to sustain themselves in the unhibernated state.
Additionally, some little information about the world discovered by these
lost scientists was obtained by a remote datalink. This datalink also allowed
you to obtain an approximate location of some of them but the accuracy of
that data is rather limited. The rest of these teams did not have a locator
in their equipment so their location could not be determined but you do know
that they all are alive.
From the data the previous expeditions collected you know that this world
has its troubles too. Something is trying to take it over, kill all the
inhabitants of the land and sea and pollute and corrupt everything. One of
the reasons why you chose to come here and bring your extensive kit here is
to liberate this poor world from the clutches of this monstrosity. After all,
your experience at the Big Bad Research Company tells you enough about
slavery and opression that you can feel with the creatures of your new
homeworld.
Your first task is to find food, water and fuel for your base. Your avatar is
equipped with information system that can be used to obtain information about
known things as soon as you point at them. Once you find enough food
### Physics
The world is what is scientifically accurately called "large scale quantum
grid space" world. All the matter inside the world exists in "chunks", each
of which has fixed composition and fixed mass. Most of these chunks also have
fixed size and shape. Therefore these "chunks" are called "crystals" even
though some of them don't have a fixed shape and most of them don't resemble
what is commonly known as a crystal at all.
These quantum crystals can be in three states:
- "static matter" which forms the quite static elements in the world,
positioned within a quantum grid with cells of 1x1x1 metre (hence "large
scale quantum grid")
- "free matter" which are freely moving objects ("freely" as in "positioning
not restricted by a grid")
- "vapor", which exists in some sort of parallel plane with a much sparse
grid of 2kmx2kmx2km.
Each piece of the static matter exists within cells of a grid of 1x1x1 metre
cubes and each cell of this grid contains exactly one piece of static matter,
which has a fixed shape. Even flowing liquids are subject to this bizzare
behavior, making them extremely volatile in the flowing state.
Some crystals have holding space which can hold other crystals. Some
(contained inside another crystal with a holding space). The fixed

## About this game
This is a role playing game for the Minetest Engine, with limited lives and
semipermanent death. The semipermanent death is administered by respawning at
a different starting point and revoking ownership of constructions you did
with your "previous life". The death is semipermanent because if you manage
to find your old site, you can revive the people there and recruit them into
your team.
One of the interesting mechanics is that you have two stomachs, one is the
stomach of your avatar

### The disaster that started it all
(I intended to post this on Reddit but the internet went down just a few
moments before I finished this and it didn't went up until we lost the
connection with that world due to this nuclear revenge)
TLDR: Crappy management, tried to screw our research, treated us like
trash and then asked us to conduct research in one of the most dangerous
worlds in an unsafe way, telling us "find a way to get money out of the world
if you want to be safe". We pack all staff and equipment of the research site
into the capsule before heading out. The capsule arrives into the world
safely and then loses contact with its homeworld. We now get to conduct our
research according to our terms and the crappy management is left with the
task of explaining to their company how their largest research center ended
up turning into an empty and desered warehouse.

I was working for a long time (over 20 years) in a research company as an
interdimensional explorer. It was not a great job in terms of salary and
benefits but everyone at this site got to do what we were so passionate
about and even get paid for that, so it looked like a dream job for us.
The business model of our company was to explore other worlds, find a way to
mine and transfer materials from them to Arepol and then develop and sell
products based on these materials. Initially, we had a few factories but over
time we discovered sources of such rare and wonderful materials that we no
longer needed the factories to maintain the profit margins. The company
sold these factories off and transformed its business into a blueprint and
raw materials supplier. Business was booming and before long the company was
pretty huge, with the research center I was working on being the largest
scientific research site in the entire Arepol. This will be important later.
But despite the insane profit that grew steadily since the company sold off
the factories (there were more and more factories entering the market in
Arepol so the demand for the materials and blueprints always exceeded supply
by a large margin), the salaries of the researchers that ran the show stayed
the same. We didn't complain as we all were "research nerds" that had almost
no life outside of the lab.
Almost all of us constructed a bunk of sorts to get their sleep on site, so
not only the company got more research hours out of us (overtime was unpaid
but we didn't care about that and management didn't care about limiting us to
"sane working times" as the labor law demanded) but also no expensive
appartment was necessary to make a living (again, technically, this was
against the law but nobody in the research lab complained to the authorities
and the managemet also kept silent about that).
Additionally, we got to explore, design and make wonderful meals out of all
the exotic meats, fruits, vegetables and other ... er ... edible stuff ...
for us, so nobody felt the need to eat out in the expensive Arepol
restaurants around or waste time commuting from areas of Arepol where food
was cheap and plentiful. The company didn't care about catering to food
business. All those pesky regulations about healthy food and stuff, along
with the fact that tastes differ, made it a real pain in the ass to design,
develop and market a new meal product, especially when made from exotic
sources.
But we didn't care about the rules and regulations (and the related
expenses). We simply developed a range of instruments to make sure our
"extraarepol" food was safe to eat and had no adverse effects on
productivity. The management was happy we didn't demand a 16 times salary
increase to match the Arepol's living expenses and we enjoyed the
independence this arrangement gave us.
My job is exploration of the new worlds, using avatars driven by a sort of
virtual reality equipment. Basically, I go out into the wild, search for
interesting stuff and bring it back for analysis. After my colleagues
complete their analysis, I go out again to get different interesting stuff
for further analysis. Rinse and repeat.
This might sound boring but these worlds have physics that almost always
differs from the physics of Arepol, my homeworld, in weird, wonderful and
sometimes even utterly crazy ways. This made the job much more interesting as
one got to wonder what we are going to discover next. And challenging,
because I often got to solve new and interesting puzzles, sometimes in
cooperation with my colleauges.
When I started, all the exploration was done remotely. The datalinks between
our base and the avatars were riddled with all sorts of problems such as
lost and/or laggy connections, excruciating time delays and stuff like
that. Many times we simply lost contact with the world after our single
avatar died in it before we could understand even the basics of its physics.
But, one day, one of our team members discovered that one of the materials we
were mining allowed us to construct what we called "reality bubble".
Essentially it was a region of space with Arepol physics inside a world with
completely different physics. The material made this bubble stable and its
stability didn't depend on physics of the containing world. The material in
question was cheap and plentiful and didn't have much use in Arepol.
Soon we had "base hull", a fairly big, yet compact shell with facilities
for on-site research and reliable remote communication, that we could send
into the destination world. This got rid of most of the problems with remote
exploration as we no longer needed to run interdimensional connections
between the avatars and our research facility in Arepol. This translated to
faster research and no more lost worlds. The management was exstatic and gave
us a generous budget to further this line of development.
We added living quarters into the base hull so a team of scientists could
be present directly on site (getting rid of the time delay) and hibernation
units so if the team ran out of resources, they could simply hibernate
themselves and wait for another team to rescue them.
So now I often get to physically travel with a science team directly into the
world in question. During each of these many, several months long
expeditions, I got to know many of them at the first name basis.
This new development was like on cue because very soon (literally days
after the first few base hulls were successfully brought to other worlds and
back), we discovered "the father of all challenges". A strange world with
complex structure and weird physics. First efforts showed a lot of promise.
This world promised a revolution in manufacturing as its unusual physics
allowed construction of materials that could not be made anywhere else. To
add to the lure, we discovered resources in it that allowed design and
development of even more lucrative products and materials. The proverbial
cherry on top was that most of these raw resources had to be processed inside
this weird and wonderful world.
Then things went south. Our company was bought out under suspicious
circumstances and the management replaced. For a few months things looked ok.
But then the new management decided the company needs to "reduce costs",
"increase safety" and "comply with the laws". They turned this unwanted
attention to our research center.
First the management argued "you cannot live inside the facility, you
must have an appartment and live there". We complied by starting a "research
program" with the affected team members living inside the half-constructed
base hulls. This turned out to be good for our research because now the teams
could find out what equipment they miss and get it installed while still in
Arepol, greatly reducing the costs of the expeditions. That drove them off
for a while.
Then we started development of a new base hull with a tether connection to
Arepol that would allow quick evacuation of the resident team should things
go awry. This is when the management jerks decided to mess with our research
again by reducing our research budget and telling us how to do our job.
So the tether connection equipment of the hull did not have a lot of
robustness to begin with (designing a robust interdimensional portal
is not exactly easy, especially when the world at the other side of the
portal has weird physics). Additionally, instead of installing a dedicated
interdimensional transmitter and receiver into the base hull, we were told
to "just run a cable through the tether portal".
We were even denied our request for a small liquid fluoride thorium reactor
core because "who has money for that when the power grid can handle the
load?". Of course we told them that the portal is way too hungry for the
power grid but their response was "don't teach a former power company CEO
how a power grid works!" The meeting then ended with "if you want money you
can become a tycoon of that strange world but good luck finding anything
useful for OUR world there".
So, run this thing on commercial power lines and ignore our concerns about
their capacity? And cut the budget to prevent our base from becoming long
term self-sustainable, because reasons? Are you really wanting to turn us, a
group of veterans with interdimensional exploration as their hobby into
yet another dormant cocoon lying in the bowels of the world which was
nicknamed "scientist eater" because of its reputation? Not going to happen.
The revenge started small. The rudeness of the management turned everyone on
the research site against them and the company, so it took little persuasion
to bring them all onboard. All the scientists joined their forces and
whatever little money they had stashed away to prepare for the "grand
disaster" the management was asking for.
Almost a year later, at the Christmas time, when everyone in the management
went to vacation (this was a public secret that the management is not working
during these holidays), it was time to go nuclear. In a matter of days,
everything on the site was dismantled and hauled them into the new
interdimensional base hull. The only equipment left behind will be the
equipment of the Arepol side of the tether portal. All the scientists
(several hundredths of them) then headed towards the hibernation units,
leaving only me and a handful of people in charge of the operation.
They all knew this is an one way trip. They sank their tiny salaries and
savings into piles of batteries and tanks of Quirium, stashing them inside
the base hull since I enrolled them in my scheme. They put every bit and
piece of information about the strange world that is going to be mine and
their new home for the foreseeable future into the control computers of the
base hull.
And, as we predicted, that happened. After the base landed safely
into the world, the tether portal died. A quick look at it was all we needed
to do to know the power failure was the culprit. Actually, we were pretty
surprised that not only the portal lasted for the entire time of the
journey, it seemed to be pretty stable. So stable in fact that I was even
hoping for sending a "Screw you!" message to the management once they return
from they holiday, before cutting the power and closing the portal for good.
Must have been the fact that without all the equipment on the power lines
there was much more power available for the base's journey and the tether
portal. Likely enough power to run it at a stable configuration.
But only a few days after we landed, the portal suddenly went down. The power
company decided to cut the power to our site after a few days of cranking the
power load near the maximum of the grid. I was grinning when thinking about
the massive electricity bill our greedy management is going to receive for
our site.
The few scientists who did not hibernate before the trip assembled and
configured an avatar deployment system with three avatars. I better be
careful with these because if I get them killed all, I might as well go to
deep sleep myself. Yes, an avatar detection equipment was also set up for
this occasion, but that means I will get connected to an avatar at a random
and potentially hostile place and will be required to find my home base
before continuing the quest.
So, now all the scientists are catching their Z's in the hybernation chambers
and I am sitting here, slightly disappointed that I won't get to see the face
of the management jerks once they find all the equipment and staff gone but
nevetheless excited. And feeling a massive weight of responsibility on my
shoulders. The fate of my fellow colleagues are now in my hands. Can I bring
them out of their sleep and, possibly, bring them home? Of course I can. I
am a veteran interdimensional explorer!

It turned out the company had many more research centers. After the discovery
of this new world, all of them were thrown into the project, asked to build
base hulls and then move themselves inside, doing research. But since these
teams lacked experienced interdimensional explorers, once inside the world,
they ran out of avatars and resources and were forced to hibernate.
Competitors of our company then tried to send rescue missions to rescue our
lost teams (and get their hands on their research) only to lose their teams
too. Eventually, scientists that were still in Arepol started to quit their
companies immediately once tasked with "on-site research of the scientist
eating world"

Strange thing I found in this cave. Sounds like metal, looks like a rock. A
damn hard white rock. Broke a dozen picks on it. Even tried the diamond one.
All the normal stuff needs just a few swings but this one ... I kept trying
for a better part of a hour and the damn thing won't budge. Not even a little
bit.
I am tired now. Tomorrow I need to make a new pick. Or several. I save the
diamond one for valuable stuff.
That strange white metal rock could fetch me a lot of gold. Only if I could
get some. Just one little cube of it. Oh, the dream ...

They say weird beings live in these indestructible boxes. Look like they know
nothing. Not even about the blight and heat. Everything is burning at some

But they don't know. They don't understand. They wonder at the simplest
