 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
17b5fb
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
17b5fb
17b5fb
                            Preamble
17b5fb
17b5fb
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
17b5fb
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
17b5fb
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
17b5fb
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
17b5fb
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
17b5fb
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17b5fb
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
17b5fb
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
17b5fb
your programs, too.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
17b5fb
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
17b5fb
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
17b5fb
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
17b5fb
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
17b5fb
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
17b5fb
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
17b5fb
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
17b5fb
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
17b5fb
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
17b5fb
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
17b5fb
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
17b5fb
rights.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
17b5fb
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
17b5fb
distribute and/or modify the software.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
17b5fb
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
17b5fb
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
17b5fb
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
17b5fb
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
17b5fb
authors' reputations.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
17b5fb
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
17b5fb
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
17b5fb
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
17b5fb
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
17b5fb
modification follow.
17b5fb
17b5fb
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
17b5fb
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
17b5fb
17b5fb
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
17b5fb
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
17b5fb
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
17b5fb
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
17b5fb
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
17b5fb
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
17b5fb
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
17b5fb
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
17b5fb
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
17b5fb
17b5fb
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
17b5fb
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
17b5fb
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
17b5fb
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
17b5fb
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
17b5fb
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
17b5fb
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
17b5fb
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
17b5fb
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
17b5fb
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
17b5fb
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
17b5fb
along with the Program.
17b5fb
17b5fb
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
17b5fb
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
17b5fb
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
17b5fb
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
17b5fb
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
17b5fb
17b5fb
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
17b5fb
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
17b5fb
17b5fb
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
17b5fb
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
17b5fb
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
17b5fb
    parties under the terms of this License.
17b5fb
17b5fb
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
17b5fb
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
17b5fb
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
17b5fb
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
17b5fb
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
17b5fb
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
17b5fb
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
17b5fb
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
17b5fb
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
17b5fb
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
17b5fb
17b5fb
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
17b5fb
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
17b5fb
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
17b5fb
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
17b5fb
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
17b5fb
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
17b5fb
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
17b5fb
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
17b5fb
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
17b5fb
17b5fb
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
17b5fb
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
17b5fb
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
17b5fb
collective works based on the Program.
17b5fb
17b5fb
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
17b5fb
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
17b5fb
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
17b5fb
the scope of this License.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
17b5fb
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
17b5fb
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
17b5fb
17b5fb
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
17b5fb
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
17b5fb
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
17b5fb
17b5fb
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
17b5fb
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
17b5fb
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
17b5fb
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
17b5fb
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
17b5fb
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
17b5fb
17b5fb
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
17b5fb
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
17b5fb
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
17b5fb
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
17b5fb
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
17b5fb
17b5fb
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
17b5fb
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
17b5fb
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
17b5fb
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
17b5fb
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
17b5fb
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
17b5fb
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
17b5fb
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
17b5fb
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
17b5fb
itself accompanies the executable.
17b5fb
17b5fb
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
17b5fb
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
17b5fb
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
17b5fb
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
17b5fb
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
17b5fb
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
17b5fb
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
17b5fb
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
17b5fb
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
17b5fb
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
17b5fb
parties remain in full compliance.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
17b5fb
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
17b5fb
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
17b5fb
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
17b5fb
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
17b5fb
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
17b5fb
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
17b5fb
the Program or works based on it.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
17b5fb
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
17b5fb
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
17b5fb
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
17b5fb
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
17b5fb
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
17b5fb
this License.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
17b5fb
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
17b5fb
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
17b5fb
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
17b5fb
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
17b5fb
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
17b5fb
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
17b5fb
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
17b5fb
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
17b5fb
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
17b5fb
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
17b5fb
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
17b5fb
17b5fb
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
17b5fb
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
17b5fb
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
17b5fb
circumstances.
17b5fb
17b5fb
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
17b5fb
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
17b5fb
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
17b5fb
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
17b5fb
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
17b5fb
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
17b5fb
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
17b5fb
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
17b5fb
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
17b5fb
impose that choice.
17b5fb
17b5fb
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
17b5fb
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
17b5fb
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
17b5fb
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
17b5fb
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
17b5fb
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
17b5fb
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
17b5fb
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
17b5fb
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
17b5fb
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
17b5fb
address new problems or concerns.
17b5fb
17b5fb
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
17b5fb
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
17b5fb
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
17b5fb
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
17b5fb
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
17b5fb
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
17b5fb
Foundation.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
17b5fb
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
17b5fb
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
17b5fb
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
17b5fb
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
17b5fb
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
17b5fb
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
17b5fb
17b5fb
                            NO WARRANTY
17b5fb
17b5fb
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
17b5fb
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
17b5fb
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
17b5fb
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
17b5fb
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
17b5fb
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
17b5fb
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
17b5fb
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
17b5fb
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
17b5fb
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
17b5fb
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
17b5fb
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
17b5fb
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
17b5fb
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
17b5fb
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
17b5fb
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
17b5fb
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
17b5fb
17b5fb
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
17b5fb
17b5fb
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
17b5fb
17b5fb
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
17b5fb
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
17b5fb
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
17b5fb
17b5fb
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
17b5fb
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
17b5fb
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
17b5fb
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
17b5fb
17b5fb
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
17b5fb
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
17b5fb
17b5fb
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
17b5fb
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
17b5fb
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
17b5fb
    (at your option) any later version.
17b5fb
17b5fb
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
17b5fb
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
17b5fb
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
17b5fb
    GNU General Public License for more details.
17b5fb
17b5fb
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
17b5fb
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
17b5fb
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
17b5fb
17b5fb
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
17b5fb
17b5fb
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
17b5fb
when it starts in an interactive mode:
17b5fb
17b5fb
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
17b5fb
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
17b5fb
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
17b5fb
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
17b5fb
17b5fb
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
17b5fb
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
17b5fb
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
17b5fb
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
17b5fb
17b5fb
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
17b5fb
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
17b5fb
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
17b5fb
17b5fb
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
17b5fb
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

17b5fb
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
17b5fb
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
17b5fb
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
17b5fb
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
17b5fb
Public License instead of this License.
