 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
			    Preamble
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
your programs, too.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
rights.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute and/or modify the software.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
authors' reputations.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
modification follow.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
along with the Program.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    parties under the terms of this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
collective works based on the Program.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the scope of this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
itself accompanies the executable.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
parties remain in full compliance.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the Program or works based on it.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
circumstances.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
impose that choice.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
address new problems or concerns.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Foundation.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
			    NO WARRANTY
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    (at your option) any later version.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb

Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Alain Reguera Delgado 8f60cb
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
