 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
a20b14
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
a20b14
a20b14
                            Preamble
a20b14
a20b14
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
a20b14
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
a20b14
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
a20b14
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
a20b14
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
a20b14
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
a20b14
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
a20b14
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
a20b14
your programs, too.
a20b14
a20b14
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
a20b14
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
a20b14
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
a20b14
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
a20b14
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
a20b14
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
a20b14
a20b14
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
a20b14
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
a20b14
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
a20b14
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
a20b14
a20b14
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
a20b14
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
a20b14
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
a20b14
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
a20b14
rights.
a20b14
a20b14
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
a20b14
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
a20b14
distribute and/or modify the software.
a20b14
a20b14
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
a20b14
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
a20b14
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
a20b14
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
a20b14
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
a20b14
authors' reputations.
a20b14
a20b14
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
a20b14
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
a20b14
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
a20b14
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
a20b14
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
a20b14
a20b14
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
a20b14
modification follow.
a20b14
a20b14
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
a20b14
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
a20b14
a20b14
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a20b14
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
a20b14
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
a20b14
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
a20b14
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
a20b14
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
a20b14
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
a20b14
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
a20b14
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
a20b14
a20b14
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
a20b14
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
a20b14
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
a20b14
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
a20b14
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
a20b14
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
a20b14
a20b14
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
a20b14
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
a20b14
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
a20b14
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
a20b14
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
a20b14
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
a20b14
along with the Program.
a20b14
a20b14
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
a20b14
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
a20b14
a20b14
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
a20b14
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
a20b14
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
a20b14
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a20b14
a20b14
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
a20b14
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
a20b14
a20b14
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
a20b14
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
a20b14
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
a20b14
    parties under the terms of this License.
a20b14
a20b14
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
a20b14
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
a20b14
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
a20b14
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
a20b14
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a20b14
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
a20b14
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
a20b14
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
a20b14
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
a20b14
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
a20b14
a20b14
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
a20b14
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
a20b14
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
a20b14
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
a20b14
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
a20b14
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
a20b14
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
a20b14
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
a20b14
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
a20b14
a20b14
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
a20b14
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
a20b14
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
a20b14
collective works based on the Program.
a20b14
a20b14
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
a20b14
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a20b14
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
a20b14
the scope of this License.
a20b14
a20b14
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
a20b14
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
a20b14
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a20b14
a20b14
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
a20b14
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
a20b14
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
a20b14
a20b14
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
a20b14
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
a20b14
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
a20b14
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
a20b14
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
a20b14
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
a20b14
a20b14
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
a20b14
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
a20b14
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
a20b14
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
a20b14
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
a20b14
a20b14
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
a20b14
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
a20b14
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
a20b14
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
a20b14
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
a20b14
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
a20b14
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
a20b14
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
a20b14
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
a20b14
itself accompanies the executable.
a20b14
a20b14
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
a20b14
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
a20b14
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
a20b14
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
a20b14
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
a20b14
a20b14
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
a20b14
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
a20b14
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
a20b14
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
a20b14
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
a20b14
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
a20b14
parties remain in full compliance.
a20b14
a20b14
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
a20b14
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
a20b14
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
a20b14
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
a20b14
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
a20b14
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
a20b14
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
a20b14
the Program or works based on it.
a20b14
a20b14
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
a20b14
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
a20b14
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
a20b14
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
a20b14
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
a20b14
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
a20b14
this License.
a20b14
a20b14
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
a20b14
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
a20b14
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
a20b14
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
a20b14
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
a20b14
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
a20b14
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
a20b14
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
a20b14
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
a20b14
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
a20b14
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
a20b14
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
a20b14
a20b14
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
a20b14
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
a20b14
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
a20b14
circumstances.
a20b14
a20b14
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
a20b14
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
a20b14
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
a20b14
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
a20b14
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
a20b14
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
a20b14
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
a20b14
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
a20b14
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
a20b14
impose that choice.
a20b14
a20b14
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
a20b14
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
a20b14
a20b14
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
a20b14
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
a20b14
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
a20b14
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
a20b14
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
a20b14
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
a20b14
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
a20b14
a20b14
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
a20b14
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
a20b14
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
a20b14
address new problems or concerns.
a20b14
a20b14
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
a20b14
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
a20b14
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
a20b14
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
a20b14
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
a20b14
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
a20b14
Foundation.
a20b14
a20b14
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
a20b14
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
a20b14
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
a20b14
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
a20b14
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
a20b14
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
a20b14
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
a20b14
a20b14
                            NO WARRANTY
a20b14
a20b14
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
a20b14
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
a20b14
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
a20b14
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
a20b14
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
a20b14
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
a20b14
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
a20b14
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
a20b14
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
a20b14
a20b14
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
a20b14
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
a20b14
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
a20b14
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
a20b14
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
a20b14
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
a20b14
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
a20b14
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
a20b14
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
a20b14
a20b14
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
a20b14
a20b14
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
a20b14
a20b14
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
a20b14
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
a20b14
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
a20b14
a20b14
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
a20b14
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
a20b14
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
a20b14
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
a20b14
a20b14
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
a20b14
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
a20b14
a20b14
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
a20b14
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
a20b14
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
a20b14
    (at your option) any later version.
a20b14
a20b14
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
a20b14
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
a20b14
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
a20b14
    GNU General Public License for more details.
a20b14
a20b14
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
a20b14
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
a20b14
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
a20b14
a20b14
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
a20b14
a20b14
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
a20b14
when it starts in an interactive mode:
a20b14
a20b14
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
a20b14
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
a20b14
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
a20b14
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
a20b14
a20b14
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
a20b14
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
a20b14
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
a20b14
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
a20b14
a20b14
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
a20b14
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
a20b14
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
a20b14
a20b14
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
a20b14
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

a20b14
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
a20b14
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
a20b14
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
a20b14
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
a20b14
Public License instead of this License.
