     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

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

Preamble
11
========
12
13
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
14
to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
15
intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
16
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
17
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
18
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
19
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
20
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
21
your programs, too.
22
23
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
24
Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
25
the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this
26
service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
27
want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
28
free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
29
30
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone
31
to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  These
32
restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
33
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
34
35
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis
36
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
37
have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
38
code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
39
40
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
41
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
42
distribute and/or modify the software.
43
44
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
45
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
46
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
47
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
48
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
49
authors' reputations.
50
51
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
52
We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
53
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
54
proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent
55
must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
56
57
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
58
modification follow.

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

     SIGNATURE OF TY COON, 1 April 1989
345
     Ty Coon, President of Vice
346
347
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
348
into proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library,
349
you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
350
applications with the library.  If this is what you want to do, use the
351
GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
352
