8Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
9of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

11### Preamble
12
13The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
14freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
15License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
16software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
17General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
18Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
19using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
20the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
21your programs, too.
22
23When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
24price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
25have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
26this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
27if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
28in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
29
30To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
31anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
32These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
33distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
34
35For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
36gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
37you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
38source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
39rights.
40
41We protect your rights with two steps: **(1)** copyright the software, and
42**(2)** offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
43distribute and/or modify the software.
44
45Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
46that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
47software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
48want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
49that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
50authors' reputations.
51
52Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
53patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
54program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
55program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
56patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
57
58The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
59modification follow.
60
61### TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
62
63**0.** This License applies to any program or other work which contains
64a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
65under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below,
66refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program”
67means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
68that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
69either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
70language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
71the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
72
73Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
74covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
75running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
76is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
77Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
78Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
79
80**1.** You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
81source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
82conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
83copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
84notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
85and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
86along with the Program.
87
88You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
89you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
90
91**2.** You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
92of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
93distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
94above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
95
96* **a)** You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
97stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
98* **b)** You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101parties under the terms of this License.
102* **c)** If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
103when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
104interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
105announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
106notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
107a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
108these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
109License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
110does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
111the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
112
113These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
114identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
115and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
116themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
117sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
118distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
119on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
120this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
121entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
122
123Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
124your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
125exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
126collective works based on the Program.
127
128In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
129with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
130a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
131the scope of this License.
132
133**3.** You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
134under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
135Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
136
137* **a)** Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
138source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1391 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
140* **b)** Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
141years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
142cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
143machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
144distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
145customarily used for software interchange; or,
146* **c)** Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
147to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
148allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
149received the program in object code or executable form with such
150an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
151
152The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
153making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
154code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
155associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
156control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
157special exception, the source code distributed need not include
158anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
159form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
160operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
161itself accompanies the executable.
162
163If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
164access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
165access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
166distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
167compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
168
169**4.** You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
170except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
171otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
172void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
173However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
174this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
175parties remain in full compliance.
176
177**5.** You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
178signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
179distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
180prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
181modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
182Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
183all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
184the Program or works based on it.
185
186**6.** Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
187Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
188original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
189these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
190restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
191You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
192this License.
193
194**7.** If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
195infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
196conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
197otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
198excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
199distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
200License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
201may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
202license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
203all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
204the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
205refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
206
207If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
208any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
209apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
210circumstances.
211
212It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
213patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
214such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
215integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
216implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
217generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
218through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
219system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
220to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
221impose that choice.
222
223This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
224be a consequence of the rest of this License.
225
226**8.** If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
227certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
228original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
229may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
230those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
231countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
232the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
233
234**9.** The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
235of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
236be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
237address new problems or concerns.
238
239Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
240specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any
241later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
242either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
243Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
244this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
245Foundation.
246
247**10.** If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
248programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
249to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
250Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
251make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
252of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
253of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
254
255### NO WARRANTY
256
257**11.** BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
258FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
259OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
260PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
261OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
262MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
263TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
264PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
265REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
266
267**12.** IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
268WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
269REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
270INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
271OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
272TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
273YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
274PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
275POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
276
277END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
278
279### How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
280
281If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
282possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
283free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
284
285To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
286to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
287convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
288the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

292
293 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
294 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
295 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
296 (at your option) any later version.
297
298 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
299 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
300 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
301 GNU General Public License for more details.
302
303 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
304 with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
305 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
306
307Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
308
309If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
310when it starts in an interactive mode:
311
312 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
313 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
314 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
315 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
316
317The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the appropriate
318parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
319be called something other than `show w` and `show c`; they could even be
320mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
321
322You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
323school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
324necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
325
326 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
327 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

331
332This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
333proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
334consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
335library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
336Public License instead of this License.
