6*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

9*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg                            Preamble
10*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
11*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergyour programs, too.
20*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
21*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberghave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
28*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberganyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
33*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberggratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergrights.
38*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
39*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
43*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergauthors' reputations.
49*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
50*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
56*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmodification follow.
58*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
59*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
62*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberga notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergeither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberglanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
72*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
79*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergalong with the Program.
86*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
87*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
90*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
95*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
98*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    parties under the terms of this License.
102*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
103*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
114*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
124*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcollective works based on the Program.
128*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
129*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberga storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe scope of this License.
133*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
134*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
138*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
142*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
149*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
155*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberganything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergitself accompanies the executable.
165*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
166*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
172*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergparties remain in full compliance.
179*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
180*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe Program or works based on it.
188*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
189*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthis License.
196*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
197*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberginfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberglicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
210*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcircumstances.
214*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
215*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberggenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergimpose that choice.
225*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
226*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
229*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
237*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergaddress new problems or concerns.
241*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
242*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberglater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergeither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergFoundation.
249*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
250*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
258*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg                            NO WARRANTY
259*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
260*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
270*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED

282*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
284*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
288*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

311*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
312*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergwhen it starts in an interactive mode:

315*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
320*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*508ec739SDaniel Rosenberg
325*508ec739SDaniel RosenbergYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*508ec739SDaniel Rosenbergnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
