    2 The different parts of this distribution have two different software
    3 licenses that govern thier use.  Both licenses pass the common definition 
    4 of 'open source license' as commonly defined (e.g. at http://www.opensource.org). 
    5 The licenses, although different, are compatible with each other.

   28 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   29 		       Version 2, June 1991
   30 
   31  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   32      59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
   33  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
   34  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
   35 
   36 			    Preamble
   37 
   38   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
   39 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
   40 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
   41 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
   42 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
   43 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
   44 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
   45 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
   46 your programs, too.
   47 
   48   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
   49 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
   50 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
   51 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
   52 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
   53 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
   54 
   55   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
   56 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
   57 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
   58 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
   59 
   60   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
   61 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
   62 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
   63 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
   64 rights.
   65 
   66   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
   67 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
   68 distribute and/or modify the software.
   69 
   70   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
   71 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
   72 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
   73 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
   74 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
   75 authors' reputations.
   76 
   77   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
   78 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
   79 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
   80 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
   81 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
   82 
   83   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
   84 modification follow.
   85 
   86 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   87    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
   88 
   89   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
   90 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
   91 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
   92 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
   93 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
   94 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
   95 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
   96 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
   97 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
   98 
   99 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  100 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
  101 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
  102 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
  103 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
  104 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
  105 
  106   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
  107 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
  108 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
  109 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
  110 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
  111 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
  112 along with the Program.
  113 
  114 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
  115 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
  116 
  117   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
  118 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  119 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  120 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  121 
  122     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  123     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  124 
  125     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  126     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  127     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  128     parties under the terms of this License.
  129 
  130     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  131     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  132     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  133     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  134     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
  135     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  136     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  137     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
  138     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  139     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  140 
  141 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
  142 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
  143 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  144 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  145 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
  146 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  147 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  148 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  149 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  150 
  151 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  152 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  153 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  154 collective works based on the Program.
  155 
  156 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
  157 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
  158 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  159 the scope of this License.
  160 
  161   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  162 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  163 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  164 
  165     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  166     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  167     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  168 
  169     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  170     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  171     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  172     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  173     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  174     customarily used for software interchange; or,
  175 
  176     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  177     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
  178     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  179     received the program in object code or executable form with such
  180     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  181 
  182 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  183 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
  184 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
  185 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
  186 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
  187 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
  188 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
  189 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
  190 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
  191 itself accompanies the executable.
  192 
  193 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
  194 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
  195 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
  196 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
  197 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  198 
  199   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
  200 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
  201 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
  202 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
  203 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
  204 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
  205 parties remain in full compliance.
  206 
  207   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  208 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  209 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
  210 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
  211 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  212 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  213 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  214 the Program or works based on it.
  215 
  216   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
  217 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  218 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
  219 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
  220 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  221 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
  222 this License.
  223 
  224   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  225 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  226 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  227 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  228 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
  229 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  230 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  231 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
  232 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
  233 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  234 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  235 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
  236 
  237 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
  238 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
  239 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
  240 circumstances.
  241 
  242 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  243 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  244 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  245 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
  246 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
  247 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  248 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  249 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  250 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  251 impose that choice.
  252 
  253 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  254 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  255 
  256   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
  257 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  258 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
  259 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
  260 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
  261 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
  262 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  263 
  264   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
  265 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
  266 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
  267 address new problems or concerns.
  268 
  269 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
  270 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
  271 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  272 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  273 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
  274 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  275 Foundation.
  276 
  277   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  278 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  279 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  280 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
  281 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
  282 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
  283 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  284 
  285 			    NO WARRANTY
  286 
  287   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
  288 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
  289 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
  290 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
  291 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  292 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
  293 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
  294 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
  295 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  296 
  297   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
  298 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
  299 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  300 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
  301 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
  302 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
  303 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
  304 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
  305 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  306 
  307 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  308 
  309 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
  310 
  311   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
  312 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
  313 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
  314 
  315   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
  316 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
  317 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
  318 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
  319 
  320     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
  321     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
  322 
  323     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
  324     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
  325     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
  326     (at your option) any later version.
  327 
  328     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  329     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  330     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
  331     GNU General Public License for more details.
  332 
  333     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  334     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  335     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
  336 
  337 
  338 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  339 
  340 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
  341 when it starts in an interactive mode:
  342 
  343     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
  344     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
  345     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
  346     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
  347 
  348 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
  349 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
  350 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
  351 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
  352 
  353 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
  354 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
  355 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
  356 
  357   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  358   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

  362 
  363 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
  364 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
  365 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
  366 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
  367 Public License instead of this License.
  368
