34     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
35     Version 2, June 1991
36    
37     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
38     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
39     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
40     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
41    
42     Preamble
43    
44     The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
45     freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
46     License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
47     software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
48     General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
49     Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
50     using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
51     the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
52     your programs, too.
53    
54     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
55     price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
56     have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
57     this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
58     if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
59     in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
60    
61     To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
62     anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
63     These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
64     distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
65    
66     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
67     gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
68     you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
69     source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
70     rights.
71    
72     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
73     (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
74     distribute and/or modify the software.
75    
76     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
77     that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
78     software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
79     want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
80     that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
81     authors' reputations.
82    
83     Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
84     patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
85     program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
86     program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
87     patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
88    
89     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
90     modification follow.
91    
92     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
93     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
94    
95     0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
96     a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
97     under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
98     refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
99     means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
100     that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
101     either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
102     language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
103     the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
104    
105     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
106     covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
107     running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
108     is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
109     Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
110     Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
111    
112     1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
113     source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
114     conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
115     copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
116     notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
117     and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
118     along with the Program.
119    
120     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
121     you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
122    
123     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
124     of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
125     distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
126     above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
127    
128     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
129     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
130    
131     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
132     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
133     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
134     parties under the terms of this License.
135    
136     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
137     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
138     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
139     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
140     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
141     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
142     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
143     License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
144     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
145     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
146    
147     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
148     identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
149     and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
150     themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
151     sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
152     distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
153     on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
154     this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
155     entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
156    
157     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
158     your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
159     exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
160     collective works based on the Program.
161    
162     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
163     with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
164     a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
165     the scope of this License.
166    
167     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
168     under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
169     Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
170    
171     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
172     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
173     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
174    
175     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
176     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
177     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
178     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
179     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
180     customarily used for software interchange; or,
181    
182     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
183     to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
184     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
185     received the program in object code or executable form with such
186     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
187    
188     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
189     making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
190     code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
191     associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
192     control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
193     special exception, the source code distributed need not include
194     anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
195     form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
196     operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
197     itself accompanies the executable.
198    
199     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
200     access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
201     access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
202     distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
203     compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
204    
205     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
206     except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
207     otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
208     void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
209     However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
210     this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
211     parties remain in full compliance.
212    
213     5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
214     signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
215     distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
216     prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
217     modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
218     Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
219     all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
220     the Program or works based on it.
221    
222     6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
223     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
224     original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
225     these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
226     restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
227     You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
228     this License.
229    
230     7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
231     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
232     conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
233     otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
234     excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
235     distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
236     License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
237     may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
238     license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
239     all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
240     the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
241     refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
242    
243     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
244     any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
245     apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
246     circumstances.
247    
248     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
249     patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
250     such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
251     integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
252     implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
253     generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
254     through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
255     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
256     to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
257     impose that choice.
258    
259     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
260     be a consequence of the rest of this License.
261    
262     8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
263     certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
264     original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
265     may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
266     those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
267     countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
268     the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
269    
270     9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
271     of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
272     be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
273     address new problems or concerns.
274    
275     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
276     specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
277     later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
278     either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
279     Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
280     this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
281     Foundation.
282    
283     10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
284     programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
285     to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
286     Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
287     make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
288     of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
289     of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
290    
291     NO WARRANTY
292    
293     11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
294     FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
295     OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
296     PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
297     OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
298     MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
299     TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
300     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
301     REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
302    
303     12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
304     WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
305     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
306     INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
307     OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
308     TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
309     YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
310     PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
311     POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
312    
313     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
314    
315     How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
316    
317     If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
318     possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
319     free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
320    
321     To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
322     to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
323     convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
324     the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
325    
326     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
327     Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
328    
329     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
330     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
331     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
332     (at your option) any later version.
333    
334     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
335     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
336     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
337     GNU General Public License for more details.
338    
339     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
340     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
341     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
342    
343    
344     Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
345    
346     If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
347     when it starts in an interactive mode:
348    
349     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
350     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
351     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
352     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
353    
354     The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
355     parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
356     be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
357     mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
358    
359     You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
360     school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
361     necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
362    
363     Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
364     `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
365

368    
369     This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
370     proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
371     consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
372     library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
373     Public License instead of this License.
