57                       Version 2, June 1991
58
59 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
60 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
61 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
62 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
63
64                            Preamble
65
66  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
67freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
68License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
69software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
70General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
71Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
72using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
73the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
74your programs, too.
75
76  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
77price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
78have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
79this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
80if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
81in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
82
83  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
84anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
85These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
86distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
87
88  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
89gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
90you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
91source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
92rights.
93
94  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
95(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
96distribute and/or modify the software.
97
98  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
99that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
100software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
101want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
102that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
103authors' reputations.
104
105  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
106patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
107program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
108program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
109patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
110
111  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
112modification follow.
113
114                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
115   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
116
117  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
118a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
119under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
120refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
121means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
122that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
123either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
124language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
125the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
126
127Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
128covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
129running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
130is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
131Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
132Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
133
134  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
135source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
136conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
137copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
138notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
139and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
140along with the Program.
141
142You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
143you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
144
145  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
146of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
147distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
148above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
149
150    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
151    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
152
153    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
154    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
155    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
156    parties under the terms of this License.
157
158    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
159    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
160    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
161    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
162    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
163    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
164    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
165    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
166    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
167    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
168
169These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
170identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
171and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
172themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
173sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
174distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
175on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
176this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
177entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
178
179Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
180your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
181exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
182collective works based on the Program.
183
184In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
185with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
186a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
187the scope of this License.
188
189  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
190under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
191Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
192
193    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
194    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
195    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
196
197    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
198    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
199    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
200    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
201    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
202    customarily used for software interchange; or,
203
204    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
205    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
206    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
207    received the program in object code or executable form with such
208    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
209
210The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
211making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
212code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
213associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
214control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
215special exception, the source code distributed need not include
216anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
217form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
218operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
219itself accompanies the executable.
220
221If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
222access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
223access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
224distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
225compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
226
227  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
228except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
229otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
230void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
231However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
232this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
233parties remain in full compliance.
234
235  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
236signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
237distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
238prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
239modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
240Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
241all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
242the Program or works based on it.
243
244  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
245Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
246original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
247these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
248restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
249You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
250this License.
251
252  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
253infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
254conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
255otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
256excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
257distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
258License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
259may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
260license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
261all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
262the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
263refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
264
265If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
266any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
267apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
268circumstances.
269
270It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
271patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
272such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
273integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
274implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
275generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
276through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
277system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
278to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
279impose that choice.
280
281This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
282be a consequence of the rest of this License.
283
284  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
285certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
286original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
287may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
288those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
289countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
290the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
291
292  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
293of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
294be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
295address new problems or concerns.
296
297Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
298specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
299later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
300either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
301Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
302this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
303Foundation.
304
305  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
306programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
307to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
308Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
309make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
310of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
311of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
312
313                            NO WARRANTY
314
315  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
316FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
317OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
318PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
319OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
320MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
321TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
322PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
323REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
324
325  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
326WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
327REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
328INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
329OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
330TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
331YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
332PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
333POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
334
335                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
336
337            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
338
339  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
340possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
341free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
342
343  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
344to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
345convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
346the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
347
348    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
349    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
350
351    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
352    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
353    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
354    (at your option) any later version.
355
356    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
357    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
358    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
359    GNU General Public License for more details.
360
361    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
362    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
363    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
364
365Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
366
367If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
368when it starts in an interactive mode:
369
370    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
371    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
372    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
373    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
374
375The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
376parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
377be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
378mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
379
380You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
381school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
382necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
383
384  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
385  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
386

388  Ty Coon, President of Vice
389
390This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
391proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
392consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
393library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
394Public License instead of this License.
395
