31 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
32 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
33
34 Preamble
35
36 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
37freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
38License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
39software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
40General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
41Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
42using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
43the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
44your programs, too.
45
46 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
47price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
48have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
49this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
50if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
51in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
52
53 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
54anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
55These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
56distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
57
58 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
59gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
60you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
61source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
62rights.
63
64 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
65(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
66distribute and/or modify the software.
67
68 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
69that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
70software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
71want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
72that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
73authors' reputations.
74
75 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
76patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
77program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
78program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
79patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
80
81 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
82modification follow.
83\f
84 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
85 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
86
87 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
88a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
89under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
90refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
91means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
92that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
93either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
94language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
95the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
96
97Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
98covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
99running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
100is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
101Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
102Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
103
104 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
105source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
106conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
107copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
108notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
109and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
110along with the Program.
111
112You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
113you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
114
115 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
116of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
117distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
118above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
119
120 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
121 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
122
123 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
124 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
125 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
126 parties under the terms of this License.
127
128 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
129 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
130 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
131 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
132 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
133 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
134 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
135 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
136 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
137 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
138\f
139These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
140identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
141and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
142themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
143sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
144distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
145on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
146this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
147entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
148
149Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
150your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
151exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
152collective works based on the Program.
153
154In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
155with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
156a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
157the scope of this License.
158
159 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
160under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
161Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
162
163 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
164 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
165 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
166
167 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
168 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
169 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
170 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
171 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
172 customarily used for software interchange; or,
173
174 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
175 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
176 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
177 received the program in object code or executable form with such
178 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
179
180The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
181making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
182code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
183associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
184control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
185special exception, the source code distributed need not include
186anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
187form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
188operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
189itself accompanies the executable.
190
191If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
192access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
193access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
194distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
195compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
196\f
197 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
198except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
199otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
200void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
201However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
202this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
203parties remain in full compliance.
204
205 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
206signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
207distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
208prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
209modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
210Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
211all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
212the Program or works based on it.
213
214 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
215Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
216original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
217these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
218restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
219You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
220this License.
221
222 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
223infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
224conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
225otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
226excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
227distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
228License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
229may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
230license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
231all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
232the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
233refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
234
235If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
236any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
237apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
238circumstances.
239
240It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
241patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
242such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
243integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
244implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
245generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
246through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
247system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
248to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
249impose that choice.
250
251This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
252be a consequence of the rest of this License.
253\f
254 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
255certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
256original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
257may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
258those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
259countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
260the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
261
262 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
263of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
264be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
265address new problems or concerns.
266
267Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
268specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
269later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
270either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
271Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
272this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
273Foundation.
274
275 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
276programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
277to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
278Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
279make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
280of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
281of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
282
283 NO WARRANTY
284
285 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
286FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
287OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
288PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
289OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
290MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
291TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
292PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
293REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
294
295 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
296WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
297REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
298INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
299OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
300TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
301YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
302PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
303POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
304
305 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
306\f
307 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
308
309 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
310possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
311free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
312
313 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
314to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
315convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
316the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
317
318 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
319 Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
320
321 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
322 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
323 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
324 (at your option) any later version.
325
326 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
327 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
328 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
329 GNU General Public License for more details.
330
331 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
332 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
333 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
334
335
336Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
337
338If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
339when it starts in an interactive mode:
340
341 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
342 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
343 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
344 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
345
346The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
347parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
348be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
349mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
350
351You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
352school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
353necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
354
355 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
356 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

360
361This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
362proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
363consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
364library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
365Public License instead of this License.
