 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

			    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.

		    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.

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.
