        Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

    <title>Preamble</title>

    <para>

        The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

        freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General

        Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share

        and change free software–to make sure the software is

        free for all its users.  This General Public License applies

        to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any

        other program whose authors commit to using it.  (Some other

        Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU

        Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to

        your programs, too.

    </para>

    <para>

        When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,

        not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make

        sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free

        software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you

        receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can

        change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;

        and that you know you can do these things.

    </para>

    <para>

        To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that

        forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to

        surrender the rights.  These restrictions translate to certain

        responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the

        software, or if you modify it.

    </para>

    <para>

        For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,

        whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all

        the rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too,

        receive or can get the source code.  And you must show them

        these terms so they know their rights.

    </para>

    <para>

        We protect your rights with two steps:

    </para>

    <orderedlist numeration="arabic">

        <listitem>

            <para>copyright the software, and</para>

            <para>offer you this license which gives you legal

            permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the

            software.</para>

        </listitem>

    </orderedlist>

    <para>

        Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make

        certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty

        for this free software.  If the software is modified by

        someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know

        that what they have is not the original, so that any problems

        introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'

        reputations.

    </para>

    <para>

        Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software

        patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a

        free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in

        effect making the program proprietary.  To prevent this, we

        have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for

        everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

        You may copy and distribute 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 and disclaimer of warranty; keep

        intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the

        absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the

        Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

    </para>

    <para>

        You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a

        copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in

        exchange for a fee.

    <para>  

        You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any

        portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and

        copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms

        of <xref linkend="licenses-gpl-1-1" /> above, provided that

        you also meet all of these conditions:

    </para>

   <orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">

   <listitem>

   <para>

        You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices

        stating that you changed the files and the date of any

        change.

    </para>

   </listitem>

   <listitem>

   <para>

        You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that

        in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or

        any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to

        all third parties under the terms of this License.

    </para>

    </listitem>

    <listitem>

    <para>

        If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

        when run, you must cause it, when started running for such

        interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display

        an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and

        a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you

        provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the

        program under these conditions, and telling the user how to

        view a copy of this License.

    </para>  

    </listitem>

    </orderedlist>

    <note>

    <title>Exception</title>

    <para>

        If the Program itself is interactive but does not normally

        print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is

        not required to print an announcement.

    </para>

    </note>

    <para>

        These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

        identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the

        Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and

        separate works in themselves, then this License, and its

        terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them

        as separate works.  But when you distribute the same sections

        as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the

        distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this

        License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

        entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of

        who wrote it.

    </para>

    <para>

        Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or

        contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,

        the intent is to exercise the right to control the

        distribution of derivative or collective works based on the

        Program.

    </para>

    <para>

        In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the

        Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)

        on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring

        the other work under the scope of this License.

        The source code for a work means the preferred form of the

        complete source code means all the source code for all modules

        it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,

        plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation

        of the executable.  However, as a special exception, the

        source code distributed need not include anything that is

        normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with

        the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the

        operating system on which the executable runs, unless that

        component itself accompanies the executable.

    </para>

    <para>

        If distribution of executable or object code is made by

        offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering

        equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place

        counts as distribution of the source code, even though third

        parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the

        object code.
