19 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
20 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
21 | ||
22 | Preamble | |
23 | ||
24 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
25 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
26 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | |
27 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | |
28 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | |
29 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | |
30 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | |
b7cdc182 | 31 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
a0bea89b MD |
32 | your programs, too. |
33 | ||
34 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
35 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
36 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
37 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | |
38 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | |
39 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
40 | ||
41 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
42 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
43 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | |
44 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | |
45 | ||
46 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
47 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | |
48 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
49 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | |
50 | rights. | |
51 | ||
52 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | |
53 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | |
54 | distribute and/or modify the software. | |
55 | ||
56 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | |
57 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
58 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
59 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | |
60 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | |
61 | authors' reputations. | |
62 | ||
63 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | |
64 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | |
65 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | |
66 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | |
67 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | |
68 | ||
69 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
70 | modification follow. | |

72 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
73 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
74 | ||
75 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains | |
76 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | |
77 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, | |
78 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" | |
79 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | |
80 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | |
81 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | |
82 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | |
83 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". | |
84 | ||
85 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | |
86 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | |
87 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | |
88 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | |
89 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | |
90 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | |
91 | ||
92 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | |
93 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | |
94 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | |
95 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | |
96 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | |
97 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | |
98 | along with the Program. | |
99 | ||
100 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | |
101 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | |
102 | ||
103 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | |
104 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | |
105 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | |
106 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | |
107 | ||
108 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | |
109 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | |
110 | ||
111 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | |
112 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | |
113 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | |
114 | parties under the terms of this License. | |
115 | ||
116 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | |
117 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | |
118 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | |
119 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | |
120 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | |
121 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | |
122 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this | |
123 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | |
124 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | |
125 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | |
9f36eaed | 126 | \f |
a0bea89b MD |
127 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
128 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | |
129 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | |
130 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | |
131 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | |
132 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | |
133 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | |
134 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | |
135 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | |
136 | ||
137 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | |
138 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | |
139 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | |
140 | collective works based on the Program. | |
141 | ||
142 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | |
143 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | |
144 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | |
145 | the scope of this License. | |
146 | ||
147 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | |
148 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | |
149 | Sections 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 | ||
168 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | |
169 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | |
170 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | |
171 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | |
172 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | |
173 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include | |
174 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | |
175 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | |
176 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | |
177 | itself accompanies the executable. | |
178 | ||
179 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | |
180 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | |
181 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | |
182 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | |
183 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | |
9f36eaed | 184 | \f |
a0bea89b MD |
185 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
186 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | |
187 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | |
188 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | |
189 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | |
190 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | |
191 | parties remain in full compliance. | |
192 | ||
193 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | |
194 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | |
195 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | |
196 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | |
197 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | |
198 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | |
199 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | |
200 | the Program or works based on it. | |
201 | ||
202 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | |
203 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | |
204 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | |
205 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | |
206 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
207 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | |
208 | this License. | |
209 | ||
210 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | |
211 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | |
212 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | |
213 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | |
214 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | |
215 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | |
216 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | |
217 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | |
218 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | |
219 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | |
220 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | |
221 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | |
222 | ||
223 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | |
224 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | |
225 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | |
226 | circumstances. | |
227 | ||
228 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | |
229 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | |
230 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | |
231 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | |
232 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | |
233 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | |
234 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | |
235 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | |
236 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | |
237 | impose that choice. | |
238 | ||
239 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | |
240 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | |
9f36eaed | 241 | \f |
a0bea89b MD |
242 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
243 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | |
244 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | |
245 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | |
246 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | |
247 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | |
248 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | |
249 | ||
250 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
251 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
252 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
253 | address new problems or concerns. | |
254 | ||
255 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
256 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | |
257 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | |
258 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | |
259 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | |
260 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | |
261 | Foundation. | |
262 | ||
263 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | |
264 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | |
265 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | |
266 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | |
267 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | |
268 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | |
269 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | |
270 | ||
271 | NO WARRANTY | |
272 | ||
273 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | |
274 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | |
275 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | |
276 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED | |
277 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | |
278 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | |
279 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | |
280 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | |
281 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
282 | ||
283 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
284 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | |
285 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | |
286 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | |
287 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | |
288 | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | |
289 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | |
290 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | |
291 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
292 | ||
293 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |

295 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
296 | ||
297 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
298 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
299 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. | |
300 | ||
301 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest | |
302 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively | |
303 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least | |
304 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
305 | ||
306 | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
307 | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> | |
308 | ||
309 | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
310 | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
311 | the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or | |
312 | (at your option) any later version. | |
313 | ||
314 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
315 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
316 | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | |
317 | GNU General Public License for more details. | |
318 | ||
9f36eaed MJ |
319 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
320 | along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software | |
321 | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | |
322 | ||
a0bea89b MD |
323 | |
324 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
325 | ||
326 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this | |
327 | when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
328 | ||
329 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author | |
330 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | |
331 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
332 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | |
333 | ||
334 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate | |
335 | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may | |
336 | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be | |
337 | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. | |
338 | ||
339 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |
340 | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if | |
341 | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: | |
342 | ||
343 | Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program | |
344 | `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. | |

348 | ||
349 | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into | |
350 | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may | |
351 | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the | |
b7cdc182 | 352 | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
a0bea89b | 353 | Public License instead of this License. |
