The GNU General Public License (GPL)
2+
3+
Version 2, June 1991
4+
5+
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
6+
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
7+
8+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
9+
document, but changing it is not allowed.
10+
11+
Preamble
12+
13+
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
14+
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
15+
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
16+
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
17+
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
18+
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
19+
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
20+
your programs, too.
21+
22+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
23+
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
24+
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
25+
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
26+
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
27+
can do these things.
28+
29+
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
30+
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
31+
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
32+
software, or if you modify it.
33+
34+
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
35+
a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
36+
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
37+
show them these terms so they know their rights.
38+
39+
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
40+
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
41+
and/or modify the software.
42+
43+
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
44+
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
45+
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
46+
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
47+
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
48+
49+
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
50+
wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
51+
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
52+
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
53+
everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
54+
55+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
56+
follow.
57+
58+
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
59+
60+
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
61+
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
62+
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
63+
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
64+
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
65+
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
66+
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
67+
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
68+
"you".
69+
70+
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
71+
this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
72+
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
73+
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
74+
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
75+
76+
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
77+
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
78+
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
79+
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
80+
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
81+
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
82+
83+
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
84+
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
85+
86+
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
87+
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
88+
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
89+
these conditions:
90+
91+
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
92+
that you changed the files and the date of any change.
93+
94+
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
95+
in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
96+
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
97+
this License.
98+
99+
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
100+
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
101+
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
102+
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
103+
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
104+
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
105+
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
106+
not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
107+
not required to print an announcement.)
108+
109+
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
110+
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
111+
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
112+
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
113+
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
114+
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
115+
of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
116+
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
117+
118+
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
119+
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
120+
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
121+
the Program.
122+
123+
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
124+
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
125+
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
126+
License.
127+
128+
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
129+
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
130+
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
131+
132+
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
133+
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
134+
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
135+
136+
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
137+
give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
138+
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
139+
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
140+
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141+
142+
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
143+
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
144+
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
145+
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
146+
Subsection b above.)
147+
148+
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
149+
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
150+
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
151+
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
152+
of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
153+
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
154+
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
155+
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
156+
itself accompanies the executable.
157+
158+
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
159+
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
160+
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
161+
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
162+
163+
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
164+
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
165+
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
166+
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
167+
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
168+
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
169+
170+
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
171+
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
172+
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
173+
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
174+
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
175+
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
176+
the Program or works based on it.
177+
178+
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
179+
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
180+
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
181+
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
182+
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
183+
third parties to this License.
184+
185+
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
186+
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
187+
are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
188+
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
189+
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
190+
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
191+
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
192+
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
193+
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
194+
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
195+
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
196+
197+
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
198+
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
199+
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
200+
201+
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
202+
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
203+
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
204+
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
205+
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
206+
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
207+
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
208+
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
209+
choice.
210+
211+
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
212+
consequence of the rest of this License.
213+
214+
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
215+
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
216+
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
217+
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
218+
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
219+
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
220+
of this License.
221+
222+
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
223+
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
224+
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
225+
or concerns.
226+
227+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
228+
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
229+
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
230+
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
231+
If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
232+
choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
233+
234+
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
235+
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
236+
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
237+
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
238+
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
239+
all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
240+
software generally.
241+
242+
NO WARRANTY
243+
244+
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
245+
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
246+
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
247+
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
248+
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
249+
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
250+
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
251+
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
252+
253+
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
254+
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
255+
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
256+
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
257+
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
258+
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
259+
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
260+
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
261+
262+
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
263+
264+
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
265+
266+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
267+
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
268+
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
269+
270+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
271+
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
272+
of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
273+
pointer to where the full notice is found.
274+
275+
One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
276+
277+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
278+
279+
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
280+
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
281+
Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
282+
any later version.
283+
284+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
285+
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
286+
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for
287+
more details.
288+
289+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
290+
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
291+
Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
292+
293+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
294+
295+
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
296+
starts in an interactive mode:
297+
298+
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
299+
with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free
300+
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
301+
type 'show c' for details.
302+
303+
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
304+
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
305+
called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
306+
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
307+
308+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
309+
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here
310+
is a sample; alter the names:
311+
312+
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
313+
'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
314+
315+
signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
316+
317+
Ty Coon, President of Vice
318+
319+
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
320+
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
321+
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
322+
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
323+
License instead of this License.
324+
325+
326+
"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
327+
328+
Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are
329+
subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but
330+
only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header
331+
the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
332+
exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
333+
334+
Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
335+
a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of
336+
the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
337+
338+
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
339+
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
340+
executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
341+
and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
342+
choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
343+
the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent
344+
module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If
345+
you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
346+
the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
347+
so, delete this exception statement from your version.
