 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
981d39
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
981d39
981d39
                            Preamble
981d39
981d39
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
981d39
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
981d39
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
981d39
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
981d39
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
981d39
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
981d39
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
981d39
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
981d39
your programs, too.
981d39
981d39
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
981d39
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
981d39
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
981d39
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
981d39
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
981d39
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
981d39
981d39
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
981d39
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
981d39
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
981d39
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
981d39
981d39
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
981d39
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
981d39
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
981d39
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
981d39
rights.
981d39
981d39
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
981d39
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
981d39
distribute and/or modify the software.
981d39
981d39
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
981d39
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
981d39
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
981d39
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
981d39
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
981d39
authors' reputations.
981d39
981d39
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
981d39
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
981d39
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
981d39
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
981d39
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
981d39
981d39
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
981d39
modification follow.
981d39
981d39
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
981d39
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
981d39
981d39
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
981d39
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
981d39
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
981d39
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
981d39
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
981d39
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
981d39
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
981d39
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
981d39
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
981d39
981d39
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
981d39
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
981d39
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
981d39
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
981d39
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
981d39
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
981d39
981d39
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
981d39
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
981d39
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
981d39
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
981d39
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
981d39
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
981d39
along with the Program.
981d39
981d39
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
981d39
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
981d39
981d39
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
981d39
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
981d39
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
981d39
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
981d39
981d39
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
981d39
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
981d39
981d39
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
981d39
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
981d39
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
981d39
    parties under the terms of this License.
981d39
981d39
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
981d39
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
981d39
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
981d39
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
981d39
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
981d39
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
981d39
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
981d39
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
981d39
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
981d39
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
981d39
981d39
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
981d39
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
981d39
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
981d39
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
981d39
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
981d39
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
981d39
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
981d39
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
981d39
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
981d39
981d39
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
981d39
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
981d39
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
981d39
collective works based on the Program.
981d39
981d39
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
981d39
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
981d39
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
981d39
the scope of this License.
981d39
981d39
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
981d39
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
981d39
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
981d39
981d39
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
981d39
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
981d39
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
981d39
981d39
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
981d39
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
981d39
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
981d39
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
981d39
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
981d39
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
981d39
981d39
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
981d39
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
981d39
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
981d39
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
981d39
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
981d39
981d39
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
981d39
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
981d39
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
981d39
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
981d39
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
981d39
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
981d39
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
981d39
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
981d39
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
981d39
itself accompanies the executable.
981d39
981d39
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
981d39
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
981d39
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
981d39
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
981d39
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
981d39
981d39
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
981d39
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
981d39
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
981d39
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
981d39
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
981d39
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
981d39
parties remain in full compliance.
981d39
981d39
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
981d39
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
981d39
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
981d39
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
981d39
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
981d39
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
981d39
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
981d39
the Program or works based on it.
981d39
981d39
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
981d39
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
981d39
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
981d39
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
981d39
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
981d39
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
981d39
this License.
981d39
981d39
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
981d39
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
981d39
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
981d39
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
981d39
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
981d39
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
981d39
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
981d39
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
981d39
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
981d39
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
981d39
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
981d39
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
981d39
981d39
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
981d39
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
981d39
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
981d39
circumstances.
981d39
981d39
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
981d39
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
981d39
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
981d39
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
981d39
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
981d39
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
981d39
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
981d39
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
981d39
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
981d39
impose that choice.
981d39
981d39
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
981d39
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
981d39
981d39
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
981d39
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
981d39
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
981d39
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
981d39
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
981d39
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
981d39
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
981d39
981d39
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
981d39
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
981d39
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
981d39
address new problems or concerns.
981d39
981d39
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
981d39
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
981d39
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
981d39
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
981d39
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
981d39
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
981d39
Foundation.
981d39
981d39
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
981d39
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
981d39
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
981d39
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
981d39
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
981d39
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
981d39
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
981d39
981d39
                            NO WARRANTY
981d39
981d39
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
981d39
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
981d39
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
981d39
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
981d39
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
981d39
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
981d39
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
981d39
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
981d39
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
981d39
981d39
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
981d39
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
981d39
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
981d39
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
981d39
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
981d39
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
981d39
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
981d39
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
981d39
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
981d39
981d39
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
981d39
981d39
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
981d39
981d39
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
981d39
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
981d39
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
981d39
981d39
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
981d39
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
981d39
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
981d39
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
981d39
981d39
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
981d39
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
981d39
981d39
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
981d39
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
981d39
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
981d39
    (at your option) any later version.
981d39
981d39
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
981d39
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
981d39
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
981d39
    GNU General Public License for more details.
981d39
981d39
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
981d39
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
981d39
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
981d39
981d39
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
981d39
981d39
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
981d39
when it starts in an interactive mode:
981d39
981d39
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
981d39
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
981d39
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
981d39
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
981d39
981d39
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
981d39
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
981d39
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
981d39
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
981d39
981d39
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
981d39
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
981d39
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
981d39
981d39
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
981d39
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

981d39
981d39
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
981d39
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
981d39
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
981d39
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
981d39
Public License instead of this License.
