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

  340 
  341 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
  342 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
  343 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
  344 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
  345 Public License instead of this License.
