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

|
|
Preamble</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and
|
|
change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee
|
|
your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free
|
|
for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
|
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
|
|
(Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General
|
|
Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
|
|
<br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General
|
|
Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute
|
|
copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive
|
|
source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use
|
|
pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
|
<br />
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
|
|
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate
|
|
to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or
|
|
if you modify it.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
|
|
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure
|
|
that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these
|
|
terms so they know their rights.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer
|
|
you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify
|
|
the software.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone
|
|
understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is
|
|
modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
|
|
they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not
|
|
reflect on the original authors' reputations.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
|
|
to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
|
|
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have
|
|
made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed
|
|
at all.
|
|
<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
|
|
<br />

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

|
|

|
|
even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
|
|

|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You should have received a

|

|
|

|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If
|
|
the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts
|
|
in an interactive mode:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|

|
|

|
|
This is
|
|
free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
|
|
type `show c' for details.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should
|
|
show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands
|
|
you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even
|
|
be mouse-clicks or menu items
|
|
-whatever suits your program.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
You should also get
|
|
your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright
|
|
disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
|
|

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