+// Package certproof answers certificate posture challenges: it finds the certificates a

+// WireGuard key, with that key. Management verifies the signature and the chain against
+// the CAs of the check, so only a holder of the key passes and a proof made for one peer
+// cannot be replayed by another. Keys in the OS stores, the TPM and a PKCS#11 token are
+// used through the platform, which signs; a plain PEM key file is the exception, parsed
+// and used in the daemon's memory.
+//
+// Machine stores are read by the daemon itself: the Windows LocalMachine store, the macOS
+// System keychain, and on Linux a directory of PEM files, TSS2 key files the TPM signs
+// with, and a PKCS#11 token. On Linux the directory and the token URI come from the
+// daemon's environment (NB_CERT_STORE_DIR, NB_CERT_PKCS11_URI), as does the token PIN
+// (NB_TPM_PIN); none of them is read from the profile config.
+//
+// User stores cannot be read by a privileged daemon, so it starts this binary as
+// "netbird posture cert-proof" inside the user's session and receives only signatures
+// and chains on its stdout. On macOS uid is not what unlocks a login keychain, the
+// session's bootstrap namespace is, which is why the helper enters it through launchctl
+// asuser. On Windows a service opening CURRENT_USER silently reads its own empty hive, so
+// the helper runs with the session's token instead. Its output is untrusted: sizes are
+// capped and only proofs for requested nonces are kept.
+//
+// A user proof shows that some process in that user's session could use a key whose
+// certificate chains to the CA. It does not show which binary signed, or that the key is
+// hardware-bound; device stores are the stronger signal.

-# XDP programs
-
-`prog.c` is attached to the `lo` device and dispatches to the features enabled in the
-`nb_features` map. The only feature is the WireGuard proxy (`wg_proxy.c`): it rewrites
-loopback UDP sent from the WireGuard listen port so it reaches the userspace relay proxy
-port instead, and swaps the peer endpoint port into the source so the proxy can tell
-peers apart.
-
-Maps use the legacy `struct bpf_map_def` form, defined in `bpf_map_def.h` because libbpf
-1.0 removed it. They load on kernels built without BTF, which BTF-style (`SEC(".maps")`)
-definitions do not.
-
-Regenerate the objects with `go generate ./client/internal/ebpf/ebpf/`; it needs
-`clang-14`. Loading a regenerated object needs root, attaching it needs `bpf_link`
-(kernel >= 5.7), and only one XDP program can own `lo` at a time.
-
-# Debug

+`nblink` forwards local ports into a NetBird network from an unprivileged
+process. It runs the client in userspace mode, so there is no TUN device to
+create and no elevated privileges to grant. That lets it run on managed
+machines and in rootless containers where the normal agent cannot.
+
+Overlay names on the upstream side are resolved inside the tunnel, so
+`/etc/resolv.conf` is never touched.
+
+## Install
+
+Download the archive for your platform, extract it, and run the binary. There
+is no installer and no service to register.
+
+## Use
+
+A forward is one self-describing argument, and the flag repeats:

+```sh
+nblink --forward 'http://8080=https://grafana.internal'

+
+The scheme on the left selects the listener type. The right side is the
+upstream reached over the network. Giving only a port binds loopback, so the
+example above listens on `127.0.0.1:8080`.
+
+Without a setup key, `nblink` opens a browser to log in and prints the URL so
+it also works over SSH.
+
+```sh
+# several forwards from one session
+nblink --forward 'http://8080=https://grafana.internal' \
+       --forward 'http://9090=https://prometheus.internal'
+
+# non-interactive
+nblink --forward 'http://8080=https://grafana.internal' --setup-key "$NB_SETUP_KEY"
+
+# check the configuration without touching the network
+nblink --forward 'http://8080=https://grafana.internal' --check
+```
+
+Port `0` asks the operating system for a free port. The address actually bound
+is printed at startup.
+
+## Container
+
+Every flag has a matching `NB_`-prefixed environment variable, which is how the
+image is configured. `NB_FORWARD` takes a comma separated list.
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
+  --mount type=bind,src="$(pwd)/nb_setup_key",dst=/run/secrets/nb_setup_key,readonly \
+  -e NB_SETUP_KEY=file:/run/secrets/nb_setup_key \
+  -e NB_FORWARD='http://0.0.0.0:8080=https://grafana.internal' \
+  -e NB_ALLOW_PUBLIC_BIND=true \
+  netbirdio/nblink
+```
+
+The key file has to exist before the run and be readable by the container
+user, which is UID 65532 in group 0. A bind mount keeps the host file's owner
+and mode, so a root-owned key written with the usual `chmod 600` is not
+readable and the run fails on startup with `permission denied`. Either give the
+file to that UID (`chown 65532`) or keep it mode `640` in group 0
+(`chgrp 0`). If the source path does not exist, `--mount` refuses to start the
+container; the older `-v` form creates a directory there instead, which the read
+then reports as a directory.
+
+The image needs no `--privileged`, no `--cap-add NET_ADMIN`, no
+`--device /dev/net/tun` and no host networking.
+
+Inside a container the listener has to bind `0.0.0.0`, because a published
+port arrives on the container's own interface rather than its loopback. That
+still requires `NB_ALLOW_PUBLIC_BIND`, so exposing a forward is always
+something the operator wrote down. Publish it on the host's loopback as above:
+a bare `-p 8080:8080` publishes on every host interface, which hands the
+peer's identity to anyone on the network who can reach the port.
+
+A public listener accepts requests addressed to `localhost` or to an IP
+address. Any name other machines use to reach it, such as a DNS name or a
+Kubernetes Service name, has to be listed with `--allowed-host`
+(`NB_ALLOWED_HOST`). See [Limits](#limits) for why.
+
+The image keeps its state in memory, so it runs on a read-only root filesystem
+and each start registers a new peer. To keep one identity across restarts, set
+`NB_STATE_DIR=/var/lib/nblink` and mount a volume there:
+
+```sh
+docker run --rm --read-only -p 127.0.0.1:8080:8080 \
+  -v nblink-state:/var/lib/nblink -e NB_STATE_DIR=/var/lib/nblink \
+  ...
+```
+
+Without a state directory, use an ephemeral setup key so the peers left behind
+by earlier starts are removed once they go offline, rather than piling up.
+
+A kept identity is not yet a kept login. Without a setup key every start runs
+the browser flow, even when the peer's session is still valid, because the
+token is resolved before the stored profile is opened. Give a restart that has
+to be unattended a setup key.
+
+## Kubernetes and OpenShift
+
+The image fits OpenShift's `restricted-v2` SCC and the Kubernetes `restricted`
+Pod Security Standard as it is:
+
+- It runs as any UID. OpenShift assigns one from the namespace range and adds
+  group 0, and everything the process writes is owned by group 0.
+- It needs no capabilities, no privilege escalation, no TUN device and no host
+  networking, so `capabilities: {drop: [ALL]}` and
+  `allowPrivilegeEscalation: false` hold.
+- With state in memory it needs no writable path, so
+  `readOnlyRootFilesystem: true` holds.
+
+The simplest shape is a sidecar. The application in the same pod reaches the
+forward on `localhost`, so the listener stays on loopback and needs neither
+`NB_ALLOW_PUBLIC_BIND` nor a Service:
+
+```yaml
+containers:
+  - name: nblink
+    image: netbirdio/nblink
+    env:
+      - name: NB_FORWARD
+        value: http://8080=https://grafana.internal
+      - name: NB_SETUP_KEY
+        value: file:/run/secrets/nblink/setup-key
+    volumeMounts:
+      - name: nblink-key
+        mountPath: /run/secrets/nblink
+        readOnly: true
+    securityContext:
+      allowPrivilegeEscalation: false
+      readOnlyRootFilesystem: true
+      runAsNonRoot: true
+      capabilities: {drop: [ALL]}
+      seccompProfile: {type: RuntimeDefault}
+volumes:
+  - name: nblink-key
+    secret:
+      secretName: nblink-setup-key
+      defaultMode: 0440
+```
+
+A Secret volume is owned by the pod's `fsGroup`, which OpenShift sets for
+every pod, so mode `0440` is readable by the container and by nothing else.
+
+To keep the identity across pod restarts, mount a persistent volume at
+`/var/lib/nblink` and set `NB_STATE_DIR` to it. `fsGroup` makes the volume
+writable by the arbitrary UID. A `Deployment` with more than one replica
+cannot share one state directory: every replica is its own peer, so give
+each one its own volume through a `StatefulSet`, or keep state in memory with
+an ephemeral setup key.
+
+Serving a forward to other pods through a Service needs `NB_ALLOW_PUBLIC_BIND`
+and every name callers use in `NB_ALLOWED_HOST`, for example
+`grafana-link,grafana-link.monitoring.svc,grafana-link.monitoring.svc.cluster.local`.
+Each caller acts under the forwarder peer's identity, so restrict who can
+reach the Service with a `NetworkPolicy`. Do not expose it through a Route or
+an Ingress.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Flag | Environment | Default | Purpose |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `--forward` | `NB_FORWARD` | | Forward spec, repeatable. Comma separated in the environment. |
+| `--setup-key` | `NB_SETUP_KEY` | | Non-interactive login. Accepts a `file:` prefix. |
+| `--management-url` | `NB_MANAGEMENT_URL` | NetBird cloud | Management server. |
+| `--hostname` | `NB_HOSTNAME` | host name | Peer name in the network. |
+| `--state-dir` | `NB_STATE_DIR` | memory | Where identity and state persist. |
+| `--log-level` | `NB_LOG_LEVEL` | `info` | Log level. |
+| `--allow-public-bind` | `NB_ALLOW_PUBLIC_BIND` | `false` | Required before binding a non-loopback address. |
+| `--allowed-host` | `NB_ALLOWED_HOST` | | Extra name a listener accepts in `Host`, repeatable. Comma separated in the environment. |
+| `--no-browser` | `NB_NO_BROWSER` | `false` | Print the login URL instead of opening a browser. |
+| `--check` | `NB_CHECK` | `false` | Validate, print the effective forwards, exit. |
+
+A secret given as `file:/path` is read from that file, so a container can mount
+it instead of exposing it in the process environment.
+
+## Limits
+
+`nblink` only dials out. It refuses inbound connections and does not reach the
+host's own network, so the peer cannot become a route into the machine it runs
+on.
+
+A loopback forward answers only requests whose `Host` names the loopback
+interface or a name listed with `--allowed-host`, and refuses any request a
+browser marks as belonging to another page, through either a cross-origin
+`Origin` or a cross-site `Sec-Fetch-Site`. A page the user visits can point its
+own hostname at `127.0.0.1` or embed the address directly, and without those
+checks the browser could reach the upstream through this listener under the
+peer's identity. Ordinary callers send neither header and are unaffected.
+
+A public forward applies the same checks, and also accepts any IP address in
+`Host`, since a page cannot rebind an address. The `Host` check matters there
+too: a container port published on the host's loopback is reached by a
+rebound page with a matching `Origin`, and its unlisted name is the only thing
+that gives it away.
+
+A name listed with `--allowed-host` is trusted rather than merely permitted,
+and the list applies to every forward in the process, loopback ones included.
+`Host` is the one signal a rebound page cannot forge, and listing a name gives
+that up for it: a page served on that name can resolve it to the listener and
+send a matching `Host` and `Origin`, which the browser then marks same-origin.
+List only names you control, and prefer a fully qualified one, since a
+single-label name can be answered by anything on the local network.
+
+A forward on `0.0.0.0` listens on IPv4 only, and one on `::` on IPv6 only.
+
+`nblink` does not ask the local router for a port mapping through UPnP,
+NAT-PMP or PCP, since an unprivileged forwarder should not reconfigure the
+network it runs on. Connections are still established through hole punching
+or the relay. Set `NB_DISABLE_NAT_MAPPER=false` to allow it.
+
+A browser too old to send `Sec-Fetch-Site`, which browsers have sent since
+2020, can still reach a loopback forward with an embedded no-cors GET.
+
+Userspace mode carries TCP, UDP and ping only. It cannot act as an exit node or
+a routing peer and does not take over system DNS. Ports below 1024 need
+privileges the process usually does not have, though some container runtimes
+lower that boundary.
+
+This build forwards HTTP. The `tcp`, `udp` and `socks5` schemes are reserved by
+the grammar and rejected with a message saying so, so adding them later needs
+no change to how a forward is written.

+//
+//	curl --> nblink (loopback, userspace peer) --tunnel--> proxy --http--> vllm
+//
+// The regular agent needs NET_ADMIN and a TUN device to put the endpoint on
+// the network. nblink runs the same client in netstack mode and hands the
+// endpoint to whatever can reach a loopback port, so the container is granted
+// no capabilities and mounts no device — the whole point of the binary, and
+// what fails first if netstack mode regresses.
+//
+// Three things are being proved together, and none of them holds on its own:
+//
+//   - The forward reaches the endpoint, which means the endpoint's name
+//     resolved inside the process. Nothing on the container can resolve it:
+//     the synthesized zone is served by the in-process DNS, /etc/resolv.conf
+//     is never touched, and a name that leaked to the host resolver would be
+//     NXDOMAIN.
+//   - The forwarder's peer is a peer like any other. Its request is authorized
+//     against the policy that names its group, metered, and written to the
+//     access log under its own identity.
+//   - The loopback listener still refuses what a browser can aim at it, which
+//     is the one new attack surface a forward on localhost creates.
+//
+// One forwarder carries most of the cases, because each one costs a session:
+// it serves three forwards, reads its setup key from a file, and keeps its
+// identity on a volume so the last case can restart it.

+# Reverse-proxy access E2E tests
+
+These tests run a real combined management server, reverse proxy, and HTTP
+upstream in isolated Docker containers. Services are configured through the
+management API, then requests go through the proxy's HTTPS listener. No external
+identity provider, public DNS record, or API credential is needed.
+
+Run from the repository root with Docker and Go available:
+
+```bash
+go test -tags e2e -timeout 25m -v ./e2e/reverseproxy/...
+```
+
+The harness builds the combined server and proxy from the current checkout.
+To test existing images, pass full image references:
+
+```bash
+NB_E2E_COMBINED_IMAGE=local/netbird-combined:target-access \
+NB_E2E_PROXY_IMAGE=local/netbird-proxy:target-access \
+go test -tags e2e -timeout 25m -v ./e2e/reverseproxy/...
+```
+
+Rebuild locally tagged images after backend changes. Both components must
+support target access actions; using an older management image does not test
+the feature.
+
+The suite checks inherited service authentication, anonymous bypass, blocked
+paths, longest-prefix precedence, credential stripping, live action updates,
+service restrictions, deletion, and private-service bypass rejection. Upstream
+request markers distinguish successful forwarding from proxy-generated
+responses and verify that denied requests never reach the backend.
+
+The `Reverse Proxy E2E` workflow runs this package for relevant pull requests
+and manual dispatches. It also remains part of the nightly `./e2e/...` suite.
+Dashboard browser coverage lives in the dashboard repository: it creates and
+edits services through the UI, then probes their real proxy behavior.

@@ -33,6 +33,43 @@ If any authentication methods are registered for the Host domain, then the Proxy
 If the user is successfully authenticated, their request will be forwarded through to the Proxy to be proxied to the relevant Peer.
 Successful authentication does not guarantee a successful forwarding of the request as there may be failures behind the Proxy, such as with Peer connectivity or the underlying resource.
 
+### Target access control
+
+HTTP targets have an optional `access_action` setting, configured under
+**Edit Target → Optional Settings → Access** in the dashboard:
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| `inherit` | Use the service's authentication settings. This is the default. A service without authentication remains public. |
+| `bypass` | Forward anonymously without prompting for service authentication. |
+| `block` | Return HTTP 403, including for authenticated users. |
+
+The longest matching Location prefix selects both the target and its access
+action. Prefixes are literal and case-sensitive: `/api` also matches `/apiv2`,
+while `/api/` only matches requests beginning with `/api/` and does not match
+`/api` itself. Wildcards and regular expressions are not supported. A blocked
+request or failed authentication never falls through to another target. Disabling
+or deleting a target removes its rule, so a less-specific target may then match.
+
+Service IP, country, and reputation restrictions still apply to bypassed paths.
+Bypass is unavailable for private services and Agent Network targets. Bypassed
+requests have no NetBird user identity; configured header-auth credentials,
+NetBird session cookies, and client-supplied NetBird identity headers are still
+removed before forwarding. Custom upstream headers remain target settings, so
+consider their effect when making a target public.
+
+Services using target access overrides reject ambiguous request paths, including
+encoded separators and traversal segments, before forwarding. Path rewriting
+continues to use the selected Location prefix after access checks.
+
+Upgrade all proxies before using target access actions. Older proxies ignore
+these actions and continue applying the service's authentication settings.
+API updates that omit an existing Location's
+`access_action` preserve its setting; send `"access_action": "inherit"` explicitly
+to restore service authentication. Requests omitting all access actions cannot
+remove or rename a controlled Location; use an updated client and explicitly
+include the intended actions when changing those targets.
+
 ## TLS
 
 Due to the authentication provided, the Proxy uses HTTPS for its endpoint, even if the underlying service is HTTP.

+  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.
