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