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.
