Branch: MAIN
Log Message:
i-scream is now licensed under the GPL. I've added the GPL headers to every
source file, and put a full copy of the license in the appropriate places.
I think I've covered everything. This is going to be a mad commit ;)

2     Version 2, June 1991

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