675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA</para>
<para>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</para>
<sect1 id="licenses-gpl-0" xreflabel="Preamble">
<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:
<orderedlist numeration="arabic">
<listitem>
<para>copyright the software, and</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the
software.</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
<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.</para>
<para>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.</para>

<sect1 id="licenses-gpl-1">
<title>Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and Modification</title>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-1" xreflabel="Section 1">
<title>Section 1</title>
<para>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>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-2" xreflabel="Section 2">
<title>Section 2</title>
<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.
<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>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
<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.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-3" xreflabel="Section 3">
<title>Section 3</title>
<para>You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it, under <xref linkend="licenses-gpl-1-2" />) in
object code or executable form under the terms of <xref
linkend="licenses-gpl-1-1" /> and <xref
linkend="licenses-gpl-1-2" /> above provided that you also
do one of the following:
<orderedlist numeration="loweralpha">
<listitem>
<para>
Accompany it with the complete corresponding
machine-readable source code, which must be

customarily used for software interchange;
or,
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at
least three years, to give any third party, for a
charge no more than your cost of physically
performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
code, to be distributed under the terms of <xref
linkend="licenses-gpl-1-1" /> and <xref
linkend="licenses-gpl-1-2" /> above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange;
or,
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
Accompany it with the information you received as
to the offer to distribute corresponding source
code. (This alternative is allowed only for
noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection
b above.)
</para>
</listitem>
</orderedlist>
</para>
<para>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the
work for making modifications to it. For an executable work,
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.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-4" xreflabel="Section 4">
<title>Section 4</title>
<para>You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-5" xreflabel="Section 5">
<title>Section 5</title>
<para>You are not required to accept this License, since you have
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-6" xreflabel="Section 6">
<title>Section 6</title>
<para>Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on
the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from
the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program
subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any
further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance
by third parties to this License.</para>

<sect2 id="licenses-gpl-1-7" xreflabel="Section 7">
<title>Section 7</title>
<para>If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), 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 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only
way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
entirely from distribution of the Program.</para>
<para>If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
intended to apply in other circumstances.</para>
<para>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of
protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system,
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people
have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent
application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide
if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other
system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.</para>
<para>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.</para>

<title>Section 8</title>
<para>If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.</para>

<para>The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the 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.</para>
<para>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Program specifies a version number of this License which
applies to it and <quote>any later version</quote>, you have the
option of following the terms and conditions either of that
version or of any later version published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation.</para>

<para>If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other
free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free
status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sharing and reuse of software generally.</para>

<para>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.</para>
<para>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 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each
file should have at least the <quote>copyright</quote> line
and a pointer to where the full notice is found.</para>
