<h2>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</h2>
<p>
Version 2, June 1991
</p>
<pre>Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.  <br>59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA<br><br>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies<br>of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.<br></pre>
<h2>Preamble</h2>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
  and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
  copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  modification follow.
</p>

<h2>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</h2>
<p>
  <strong>0.</strong> 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".
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>1.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>2.</strong> 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:
</p>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>a)</strong> You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of
any change.
  </dd>
</dl>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>b)</strong> 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.
  </dd>
</dl>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>c)</strong> 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.)
  </dd>
</dl>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>3.</strong> 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:
</p>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>a)</strong> 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,
  </dd>
</dl>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>b)</strong> 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,
  </dd>
</dl>
<dl>
  <dt> <br>
  </dt>
  <dd><strong>c)</strong> 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.)
  </dd>
</dl>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>4.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>5.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>6.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>7.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
  to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>8.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>9.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>10.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong></p>
<p>
  <strong>11.</strong> 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.
</p>
<p>
  <strong>12.</strong> 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.
