13
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
14
document, but changing it is not allowed.
15
 
16
Preamble
17
 
18
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
19
share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended
20
to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure
21
the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies
22
to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
23
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
24
software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You
25
can apply it to your programs, too.
26
 
27
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
28
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
29
to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you
30
wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
31
can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
32
you know you can do these things.
33
 
34
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
35
deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
36
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
37
copies of the software, or if you modify it.
38
 
39
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
40
for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
41
must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you
42
must show them these terms so they know their rights.
43
 
44
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
45
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
46
and/or modify the software.
47
 
48
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
49
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
50
the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
51
recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
52
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
53
reputations.
54
 
55
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
56
wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
57
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
58
proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be
59
licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
60
 
61
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
62
follow.
63
 
64
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
65
 
66
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
67
   placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
68
   terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any
69
   such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
70
   Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
71
   work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
72
   modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
73
   translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)
74
   Each licensee is addressed as "you".
75
 
76
   Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
77
   covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running
78
   the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
79
   only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent
80
   of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
81
   on what the Program does.
82
 
83
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code
84
   as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
85
   appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
86
   disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
87
   License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients
88
   of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
89
 
90
   You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
91
   may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
92
 
93
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
94
   thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
95
   modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
96
   you also meet all of these conditions:
97
 
98
   * a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
99
        that you changed the files and the date of any change.
100
 
101
   * b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
102
        whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
103
        thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
104
        under the terms of this License.
105
 
106
   * c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
107
        run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive
108
        use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
109
        including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
110
        no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that
111
        users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and
112
        telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
113
        the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
114
        an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to
115
        print an announcement.)
116
 
117
   These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
118
   sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
119
   reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
120
   this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you
121
   distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same
122
   sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
123
   distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose
124
   permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to
125
   each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
126
 
127
   Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
128
   your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
129
   exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
130
   collective works based on the Program.
131
 
132
   In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
133
   with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
134
   storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
135
   scope of this License.
136
 
137
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
138
   Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections
139
   1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
140
 
141
   * a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
142
        code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
143
        above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
144
 
145
   * b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
146
        to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
147
        physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-
148
        readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
149
        under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
150
        used for software interchange; or,
151
 
152
   * c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
153
        distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
154
        only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
155
        program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
156
        accord with Subsection b above.)
157
 
158
   The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
159
   making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
160
   means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
161
   associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
162
   compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
163
   exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is
164
   normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
165
   components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which
166
   the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
167
   executable.
168
 
169
   If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
170
   to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy
171
   the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source
172
   code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source
173
   along with the object code.
174
 
175
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
176
   expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
177
   modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
178
   automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties
179
   who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not
180
   have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
181
   compliance.
182
 
183
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed
184
   it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute
185
   the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law
186
   if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or
187
   distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you
188
   indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
189
   conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works
190
   based on it.
191
 
192
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
193
   Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
194
   original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
195
   these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions
196
   on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not
197
   responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
198
 
199
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
200
   infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
201
   conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
202
   otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
203
   excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute
204
   so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
205
   any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
206
   distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would
207
   not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who
208
   receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
209
   could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
210
   distribution of the Program.
211
 
212
   If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
213
   particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply
214
   and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
215
 
216
   It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
217
   patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
218
   such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
219
   integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented
220
   by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions
221
   to the wide range of software distributed through that system in
222
   reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
223
   author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
224
   through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
225
 
226
   This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be
227
   a consequence of the rest of this License.
228
 
229
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
230
   countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
231
   copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an
232
   explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
233
   so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
234
   excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
235
   written in the body of this License.
236
 
237
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
238
   the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
239
   similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240
   address new problems or concerns.
241
 
242
   Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
243
   specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244
   later version", you have the option of following the terms and
245
   conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
246
   the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version
247
   number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
248
   Free Software Foundation.
249
 
250
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
251
    whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask
252
    for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
253
    Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
254
    exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
255
    preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256
    of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257
 
258
   NO WARRANTY
259
 
260
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261
    FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
262
    OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263
    PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
264
    EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
265
    WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE
266
    ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
267
    YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
268
    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269
 
270
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271
    WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272
    REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
273
    DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
274
    DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
275
    (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
276
    INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF
277
    THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR
278
    OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279
 
280
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281
 
282
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283
 
284
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
286
software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287
 
288
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
289
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the
290
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright"
291
line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292
 
293
one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.
294
Copyright (C) yyyy  name of author
295
 
296
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
297
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
298
Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
299
any later version.
300
 
301
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
302
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
303
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General Public License for
304
more details.
305
 
306
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with
307
this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
308
Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA.
309
 
310
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311
 
312
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when
313
it starts in an interactive mode:
314
 
315
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
316
with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.  This is free
317
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
318
type 'show c' for details.
319
 
320
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
321
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
322
called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
323
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324
 
325
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
328
 
329
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330
'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
331
 
332

334
 
335
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
339
License instead of this License.
