 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1bf4c66
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
                            Preamble
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
1bf4c66
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
1bf4c66
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
1bf4c66
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
1bf4c66
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
1bf4c66
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
1bf4c66
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
1bf4c66
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
1bf4c66
your programs, too.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1bf4c66
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1bf4c66
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1bf4c66
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
1bf4c66
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
1bf4c66
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1bf4c66
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1bf4c66
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1bf4c66
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1bf4c66
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1bf4c66
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1bf4c66
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
1bf4c66
rights.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
1bf4c66
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1bf4c66
distribute and/or modify the software.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
1bf4c66
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1bf4c66
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1bf4c66
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1bf4c66
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1bf4c66
authors' reputations.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1bf4c66
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1bf4c66
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1bf4c66
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1bf4c66
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1bf4c66
modification follow.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1bf4c66
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
1bf4c66
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1bf4c66
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
1bf4c66
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
1bf4c66
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
1bf4c66
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
1bf4c66
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
1bf4c66
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
1bf4c66
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
1bf4c66
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
1bf4c66
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
1bf4c66
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
1bf4c66
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
1bf4c66
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
1bf4c66
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1bf4c66
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1bf4c66
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1bf4c66
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
1bf4c66
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
1bf4c66
along with the Program.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
1bf4c66
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
1bf4c66
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1bf4c66
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1bf4c66
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1bf4c66
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
1bf4c66
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
1bf4c66
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
1bf4c66
    parties under the terms of this License.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1bf4c66
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1bf4c66
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
1bf4c66
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
1bf4c66
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
1bf4c66
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
1bf4c66
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
1bf4c66
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
1bf4c66
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
1bf4c66
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
1bf4c66
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
1bf4c66
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
1bf4c66
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
1bf4c66
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
1bf4c66
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
1bf4c66
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
1bf4c66
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
1bf4c66
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
1bf4c66
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
1bf4c66
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
1bf4c66
collective works based on the Program.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
1bf4c66
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
1bf4c66
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
1bf4c66
the scope of this License.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1bf4c66
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
1bf4c66
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1bf4c66
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1bf4c66
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1bf4c66
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1bf4c66
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1bf4c66
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1bf4c66
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
1bf4c66
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1bf4c66
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
1bf4c66
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1bf4c66
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
1bf4c66
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
1bf4c66
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
1bf4c66
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
1bf4c66
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
1bf4c66
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
1bf4c66
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
1bf4c66
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
1bf4c66
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
1bf4c66
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
1bf4c66
itself accompanies the executable.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
1bf4c66
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
1bf4c66
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
1bf4c66
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
1bf4c66
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
1bf4c66
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
1bf4c66
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
1bf4c66
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
1bf4c66
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
1bf4c66
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
1bf4c66
parties remain in full compliance.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
1bf4c66
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
1bf4c66
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
1bf4c66
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
1bf4c66
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
1bf4c66
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
1bf4c66
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
1bf4c66
the Program or works based on it.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
1bf4c66
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
1bf4c66
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
1bf4c66
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
1bf4c66
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
1bf4c66
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
1bf4c66
this License.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1bf4c66
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
1bf4c66
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
1bf4c66
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
1bf4c66
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
1bf4c66
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
1bf4c66
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
1bf4c66
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
1bf4c66
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
1bf4c66
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
1bf4c66
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
1bf4c66
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
1bf4c66
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
1bf4c66
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
1bf4c66
circumstances.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
1bf4c66
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
1bf4c66
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
1bf4c66
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
1bf4c66
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
1bf4c66
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
1bf4c66
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1bf4c66
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
1bf4c66
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
1bf4c66
impose that choice.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
1bf4c66
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
1bf4c66
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
1bf4c66
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
1bf4c66
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
1bf4c66
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
1bf4c66
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
1bf4c66
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
1bf4c66
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
1bf4c66
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
1bf4c66
address new problems or concerns.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
1bf4c66
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
1bf4c66
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
1bf4c66
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
1bf4c66
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
1bf4c66
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
1bf4c66
Foundation.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
1bf4c66
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
1bf4c66
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
1bf4c66
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
1bf4c66
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
1bf4c66
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
1bf4c66
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
                            NO WARRANTY
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
1bf4c66
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
1bf4c66
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
1bf4c66
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
1bf4c66
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
1bf4c66
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
1bf4c66
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
1bf4c66
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
1bf4c66
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
1bf4c66
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
1bf4c66
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
1bf4c66
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
1bf4c66
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
1bf4c66
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
1bf4c66
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
1bf4c66
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
1bf4c66
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1bf4c66
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1bf4c66
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
1bf4c66
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1bf4c66
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
1bf4c66
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
1bf4c66
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
1bf4c66
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1bf4c66
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
1bf4c66
    (at your option) any later version.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1bf4c66
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1bf4c66
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
1bf4c66
    GNU General Public License for more details.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
1bf4c66
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
1bf4c66
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
1bf4c66
when it starts in an interactive mode:
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
1bf4c66
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1bf4c66
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1bf4c66
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
1bf4c66
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
1bf4c66
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
1bf4c66
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
1bf4c66
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
1bf4c66
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
1bf4c66
1bf4c66
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1bf4c66
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1bf4c66
1bf4c66
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
1bf4c66
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
1bf4c66
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
1bf4c66
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
1bf4c66
Public License instead of this License.
