GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
48+
Version 2, June 1991
49+
50+
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51+
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
52+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
53+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
54+
55+
Preamble
56+
57+
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
58+
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
59+
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
60+
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
61+
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
62+
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
63+
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
64+
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
65+
your programs, too.
66+
67+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
68+
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
69+
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
70+
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
71+
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
72+
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
73+
74+
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
75+
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
76+
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
77+
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
78+
79+
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
80+
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
81+
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
82+
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
83+
rights.
84+
85+
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
86+
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
87+
distribute and/or modify the software.
88+
89+
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
90+
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
91+
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
92+
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
93+
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
94+
authors' reputations.
95+
96+
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
97+
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
98+
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
99+
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
100+
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
101+
102+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
103+
modification follow.
104+
105+
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
106+
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
107+
108+
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
109+
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
110+
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
111+
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
112+
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
113+
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
114+
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
115+
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
116+
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
117+
118+
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
119+
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
120+
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
121+
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
122+
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
123+
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
124+
125+
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
126+
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
127+
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
128+
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
129+
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
130+
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
131+
along with the Program.
132+
133+
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
134+
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
135+
136+
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
137+
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
138+
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
139+
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
140+
141+
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
142+
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
143+
144+
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
145+
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
146+
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
147+
parties under the terms of this License.
148+
149+
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
150+
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
151+
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
152+
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
153+
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
154+
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
155+
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
156+
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
157+
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
158+
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
159+
160+
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
161+
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
162+
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
163+
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
164+
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
165+
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
166+
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
167+
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
168+
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
169+
170+
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
171+
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
172+
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
173+
collective works based on the Program.
174+
175+
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
176+
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
177+
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
178+
the scope of this License.
179+
180+
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
181+
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
182+
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
183+
184+
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
185+
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
186+
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
187+
188+
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
189+
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
190+
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
191+
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
192+
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
193+
customarily used for software interchange; or,
194+
195+
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
196+
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
197+
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
198+
received the program in object code or executable form with such
199+
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
200+
201+
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
202+
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
203+
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
204+
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
205+
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
206+
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
207+
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
208+
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
209+
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
210+
itself accompanies the executable.
211+
212+
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
213+
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
214+
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
215+
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
216+
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
217+
218+
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
219+
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
220+
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
221+
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
222+
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
223+
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
224+
parties remain in full compliance.
225+
226+
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
227+
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
228+
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
229+
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
230+
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
231+
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
232+
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
233+
the Program or works based on it.
234+
235+
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
236+
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
237+
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
238+
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
239+
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
240+
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
241+
this License.
242+
243+
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
244+
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
245+
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
246+
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
247+
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
248+
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
249+
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
250+
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
251+
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
252+
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
253+
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
254+
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
255+
256+
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
257+
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
258+
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
259+
circumstances.
260+
261+
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
262+
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
263+
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
264+
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
265+
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
266+
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
267+
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
268+
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
269+
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
270+
impose that choice.
271+
272+
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
273+
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
274+
275+
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
276+
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
277+
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
278+
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
279+
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
280+
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
281+
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
282+
283+
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
284+
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
285+
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
286+
address new problems or concerns.
287+
288+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
289+
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
290+
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
291+
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
292+
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
293+
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
294+
Foundation.
295+
296+
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
297+
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
298+
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
299+
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
300+
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
301+
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
302+
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
303+
304+
NO WARRANTY
305+
306+
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
307+
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
308+
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
309+
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
310+
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
311+
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
312+
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
313+
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
314+
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
315+
316+
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
317+
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
318+
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
319+
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
320+
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
321+
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
322+
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
323+
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
324+
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
325+
326+
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
327+
328+
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
329+
330+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
331+
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
332+
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
333+
334+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
335+
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
336+
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
337+
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
338+
339+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
340+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
341+
342+
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
343+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
344+
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
345+
(at your option) any later version.
346+
347+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
348+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
349+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
350+
GNU General Public License for more details.
351+
352+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
353+
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
354+
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
355+
356+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
357+
358+
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
359+
when it starts in an interactive mode:
360+
361+
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
362+
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
363+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
364+
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
365+
366+
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
367+
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
368+
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
369+
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
370+
371+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
372+
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
373+
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
374+
375+
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
376+
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
377+
378+

379+
Ty Coon, President of Vice
380+
381+
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
382+
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
383+
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
384+
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
385+
Public License instead of this License.
