 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
4c79b5
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
4c79b5
4c79b5
			    Preamble
4c79b5
4c79b5
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
4c79b5
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
4c79b5
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
4c79b5
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
4c79b5
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
4c79b5
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
4c79b5
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
4c79b5
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
4c79b5
your programs, too.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
4c79b5
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
4c79b5
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
4c79b5
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
4c79b5
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
4c79b5
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
4c79b5
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
4c79b5
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
4c79b5
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
4c79b5
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
4c79b5
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
4c79b5
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
4c79b5
rights.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
4c79b5
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
4c79b5
distribute and/or modify the software.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
4c79b5
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
4c79b5
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
4c79b5
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
4c79b5
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
4c79b5
authors' reputations.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
4c79b5
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
4c79b5
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
4c79b5
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
4c79b5
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
4c79b5
modification follow.
4c79b5
4c79b5
		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
4c79b5
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
4c79b5
4c79b5
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
4c79b5
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
4c79b5
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
4c79b5
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
4c79b5
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
4c79b5
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
4c79b5
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
4c79b5
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
4c79b5
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
4c79b5
4c79b5
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
4c79b5
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
4c79b5
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
4c79b5
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
4c79b5
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
4c79b5
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
4c79b5
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
4c79b5
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
4c79b5
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
4c79b5
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
4c79b5
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
4c79b5
along with the Program.
4c79b5
4c79b5
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
4c79b5
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
4c79b5
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
4c79b5
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
4c79b5
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
4c79b5
4c79b5
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
4c79b5
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
4c79b5
4c79b5
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
4c79b5
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
4c79b5
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
4c79b5
    parties under the terms of this License.
4c79b5
4c79b5
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
4c79b5
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
4c79b5
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
4c79b5
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
4c79b5
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
4c79b5
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
4c79b5
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
4c79b5
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
4c79b5
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
4c79b5
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
4c79b5
4c79b5
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
4c79b5
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
4c79b5
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
4c79b5
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
4c79b5
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
4c79b5
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
4c79b5
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
4c79b5
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
4c79b5
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
4c79b5
4c79b5
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
4c79b5
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
4c79b5
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
4c79b5
collective works based on the Program.
4c79b5
4c79b5
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
4c79b5
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
4c79b5
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
4c79b5
the scope of this License.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
4c79b5
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
4c79b5
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
4c79b5
4c79b5
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
4c79b5
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
4c79b5
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
4c79b5
4c79b5
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
4c79b5
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
4c79b5
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
4c79b5
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
4c79b5
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
4c79b5
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
4c79b5
4c79b5
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
4c79b5
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
4c79b5
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
4c79b5
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
4c79b5
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
4c79b5
4c79b5
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
4c79b5
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
4c79b5
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
4c79b5
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
4c79b5
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
4c79b5
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
4c79b5
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
4c79b5
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
4c79b5
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
4c79b5
itself accompanies the executable.
4c79b5
4c79b5
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
4c79b5
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
4c79b5
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
4c79b5
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
4c79b5
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
4c79b5
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
4c79b5
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
4c79b5
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
4c79b5
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
4c79b5
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
4c79b5
parties remain in full compliance.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
4c79b5
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
4c79b5
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
4c79b5
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
4c79b5
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
4c79b5
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
4c79b5
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
4c79b5
the Program or works based on it.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
4c79b5
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
4c79b5
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
4c79b5
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
4c79b5
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
4c79b5
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
4c79b5
this License.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
4c79b5
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
4c79b5
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
4c79b5
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
4c79b5
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
4c79b5
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
4c79b5
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
4c79b5
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
4c79b5
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
4c79b5
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
4c79b5
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
4c79b5
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
4c79b5
4c79b5
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
4c79b5
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
4c79b5
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
4c79b5
circumstances.
4c79b5
4c79b5
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
4c79b5
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
4c79b5
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
4c79b5
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
4c79b5
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
4c79b5
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
4c79b5
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
4c79b5
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
4c79b5
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
4c79b5
impose that choice.
4c79b5
4c79b5
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
4c79b5
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
4c79b5
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
4c79b5
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
4c79b5
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
4c79b5
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
4c79b5
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
4c79b5
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
4c79b5
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
4c79b5
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
4c79b5
address new problems or concerns.
4c79b5
4c79b5
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
4c79b5
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
4c79b5
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
4c79b5
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
4c79b5
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
4c79b5
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
4c79b5
Foundation.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
4c79b5
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
4c79b5
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
4c79b5
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
4c79b5
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
4c79b5
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
4c79b5
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
4c79b5
4c79b5
			    NO WARRANTY
4c79b5
4c79b5
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
4c79b5
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
4c79b5
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
4c79b5
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
4c79b5
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
4c79b5
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
4c79b5
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
4c79b5
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
4c79b5
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
4c79b5
4c79b5
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
4c79b5
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
4c79b5
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
4c79b5
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
4c79b5
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
4c79b5
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
4c79b5
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
4c79b5
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
4c79b5
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
4c79b5
4c79b5
		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
4c79b5
