13-
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
14-
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
15-
License is 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 Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
21-
your programs, too.
7+
Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy
8+
of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal
9+
in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights
10+
to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell
11+
copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is
12+
furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:
2213

23-
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
24-
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
25-
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
26-
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
27-
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
28-
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
14+
The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in
15+
all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
2916

30-
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
31-
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
32-
These 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
36-
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
37-
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
38-
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
39-
rights.
40-
41-
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
42-
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
43-
distribute and/or modify the software.
44-
45-
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
46-
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
47-
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
48-
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
49-
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
50-
authors' reputations.
51-
52-
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
53-
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
54-
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
55-
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
56-
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
57-
58-
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
59-
modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
62-
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
63-
64-
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
65-
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
66-
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
67-
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
68-
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
69-
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
70-
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
71-
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
72-
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
73-
74-
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
75-
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
76-
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
77-
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
78-
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
79-
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
80-
81-
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
82-
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
83-
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
84-
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
85-
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
86-
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
87-
along with the Program.
88-
89-
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
90-
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange 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 in
101-
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
102-
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
103-
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 an
108-
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
109-
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
110-
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
111-
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
112-
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
113-
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
114-
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
115-
116-
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
117-
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
118-
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
119-
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
120-
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
121-
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
122-
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
123-
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
124-
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
125-
126-
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
127-
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
128-
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
129-
collective works based on the Program.
130-
131-
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
132-
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
133-
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
134-
the scope of this License.
135-
136-
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
137-
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
138-
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
139-
140-
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
141-
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
142-
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
143-
144-
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
145-
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
146-
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
147-
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
148-
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
149-
customarily used for software interchange; or,
150-
151-
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
152-
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
153-
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
154-
received the program in object code or executable form with such
155-
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
156-
157-
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
158-
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
159-
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
160-
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
161-
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
162-
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
163-
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
164-
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
165-
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
166-
itself accompanies the executable.
167-
168-
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
169-
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
170-
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
171-
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
172-
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
173-
174-
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
175-
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
176-
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
177-
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
178-
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
179-
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
180-
parties remain in full compliance.
181-
182-
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
183-
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
184-
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
185-
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
186-
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
187-
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
188-
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
189-
the Program or works based on it.
190-
191-
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
192-
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
193-
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
194-
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
195-
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
196-
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
197-
this License.
198-
199-
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
200-
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
201-
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
202-
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
203-
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
204-
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
205-
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
206-
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
207-
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
208-
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
209-
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
210-
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
211-
212-
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
213-
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
214-
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
215-
circumstances.
216-
217-
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
218-
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
219-
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
220-
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
221-
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
222-
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
223-
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
224-
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
225-
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
226-
impose that choice.
227-
228-
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
229-
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
230-
231-
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
232-
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
233-
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
234-
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
235-
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
236-
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
237-
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
238-
239-
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
240-
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
241-
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
242-
address new problems or concerns.
243-
244-
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
245-
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
246-
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
247-
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
248-
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
249-
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
250-
Foundation.
251-
252-
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
253-
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
254-
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
255-
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
256-
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
257-
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
258-
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
259-
260-
NO WARRANTY
261-
262-
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
263-
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
264-
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
265-
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
266-
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
267-
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
268-
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
269-
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
270-
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
271-
272-
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
273-
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
274-
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
275-
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
276-
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
277-
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
278-
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
279-
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
280-
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
281-
282-
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
283-
284-
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
285-
286-
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
287-
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
288-
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
289-
290-
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
291-
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
292-
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
293-
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

311-
312-
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
313-
314-
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
315-
when it starts in an interactive mode:
316-

319-

320-

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
323-
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
324-
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
325-
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
326-
327-
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
328-
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
329-
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
338-
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
339-
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
340-
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
341-
Public License instead of this License.
