    <title>Terms and Conditions for Copying, Distribution and Modification</title>

    <para>0. This License applies to any program or other work which
    contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
    distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
    ``Program'', below, refers to any such program or work, and a
    ``work based on the Program'' means either the Program or any
    derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
    containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
    modifications and/or translated into another language.
    (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
    term ``modification''.)  Each licensee is addressed as
    ``you''.</para>
    
    <para>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
    are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The
    act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from
    the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work
    based on the Program (independent of having been made by running
    the Program).  Whether that is true depends on what the Program
    does.</para>
    
    <para>1. 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>
    
    <para>2. 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
    Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
    conditions:</para>
    
    <para>a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
    notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
    change.</para>
    
    <para>b) 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>
    
    <para>c) 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.  (Exception: 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>
    
    <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>
    
    <para>3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based
    on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under
    the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one
    of the following:</para>
    
    <para>a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
    machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
    terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
    software interchange; or,</para>
    
    <para>b) 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 Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,</para>
    
    <para>c) 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>
    
    <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>
    
    <para>4. 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>
    
    <para>5. 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>
    
    <para>6. 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>
    
    <para>7. 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>
    
    <para>8. 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>9. 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 ``any later version'', 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>10. 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><emphasis>NO WARRANTY</emphasis></para>
    
    <para>11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
    NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
    LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
    HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM ``AS IS'' WITHOUT
    WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
    NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
    FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE
    QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
    PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
    SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</para>
    
    <para>12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED
    TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
    MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
    LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
    INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
    INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
    DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
    OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
    OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
    ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</para>
    
    <para><emphasis>End of Terms and Conditions.</emphasis></para>
