17 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
18 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

20 Preamble
21
22 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
23freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
24License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
25software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
26General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
27Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
28using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
29the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
30your programs, too.
31
32 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
33price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
34have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
35this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
36if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
37in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
38
39 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
40anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
41These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
42distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
43
44 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
45gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
46you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
47source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
48rights.
49
50 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
51(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
52distribute and/or modify the software.
53
54 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
55that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
56software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
57want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
58that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
59authors' reputations.
60
61 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
62patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
63program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
64program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
65patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
66
67 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
68modification follow.
69
70
71 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
72 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
73
74 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
75a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
76under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
77refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
78means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
79that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
80either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
81language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
82the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
83
84Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
85covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
86running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
87is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
88Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
89Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
90
91 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
92source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
93conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
94copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
95notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
96and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
97along with the Program.
98
99You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
100you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
101
102 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
103of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
104distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
105above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
106
107 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
108 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
109
110 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
111 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
112 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
113 parties under the terms of this License.
114
115 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
116 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
117 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
118 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
119 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
120 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
121 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
122 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
123 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
124 the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
125
126
127These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
128identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
129and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
130themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
131sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
132distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
133on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
134this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
135entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
136
137Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
138your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
139exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
140collective works based on the Program.
141
142In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
143with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
144a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
145the scope of this License.
146
147 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
148under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
149Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
150
151 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
152 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
153 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
154
155 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
156 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
157 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
158 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
159 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
160 customarily used for software interchange; or,
161
162 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
163 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
164 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
165 received the program in object code or executable form with such
166 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
167
168The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
169making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
170code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
171associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
172control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
173special exception, the source code distributed need not include
174anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
175form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
176operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
177itself accompanies the executable.
178
179If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
180access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
181access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
182distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
183compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
184
185
186 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
187except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
188otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
189void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
190However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
191this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
192parties remain in full compliance.
193
194 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
195signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
196distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
197prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
198modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
199Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
200all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
201the Program or works based on it.
202
203 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
204Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
205original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
206these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
207restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
208You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
209this License.
210
211 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
212infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
213conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
214otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
215excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
216distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
217License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
218may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
219license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
220all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
221the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
222refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
223
224If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
225any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
226apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
227circumstances.
228
229It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
230patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
231such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
232integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
233implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
234generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
235through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
236system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
237to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
238impose that choice.
239
240This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
241be a consequence of the rest of this License.
242
243
244 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
245certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
246original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
247may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
248those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
249countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
250the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
251
252 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
253of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
254be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
255address new problems or concerns.
256
257Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
258specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
259later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
260either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
261Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
262this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
263Foundation.
264
265 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
266programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
267to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
268Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
269make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
270of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
271of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
272
273 NO WARRANTY
274
275 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
276FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
277OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
278PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
279OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
280MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
281TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
282PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
283REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
284
285 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
286WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
287REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
288INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
289OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
290TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
291YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
292PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
293POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
294
295 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
296
297
298 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
299
300 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
301possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
302free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
303
304 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
305to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
306convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
307the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
308
309 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
310 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
311
312 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
313 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
314 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
315 (at your option) any later version.
316
317 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
318 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
319 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
320 GNU General Public License for more details.
321
322 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
323 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
324 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
325
326
327Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
328
329If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
330when it starts in an interactive mode:
331
332 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
333 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
334 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
335 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
336
337The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
338parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
339be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
340mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
341
342You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
343school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
344necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
345
346 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
347 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
348
349 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
350 Ty Coon, President of Vice
351
352This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
353proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
354consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
355library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
356Public License instead of this License.
