Preamble
62-
63-
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
64-
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
65-
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
66-
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
67-
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
68-
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
69-
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
70-
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
71-
your programs, too.
72-
73-
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
74-
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
75-
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
76-
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
77-
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
78-
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
79-
80-
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
81-
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
82-
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
83-
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
84-
85-
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
86-
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
87-
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
88-
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
89-
rights.
90-
91-
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
92-
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
93-
distribute and/or modify the software.
94-
95-
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
96-
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
97-
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
98-
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
99-
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
100-
authors' reputations.
101-
102-
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
103-
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
104-
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
105-
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
106-
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

109-
modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
113-
114-
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
115-
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
116-
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
117-
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
118-
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
119-
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
120-
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
121-
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
122-
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
123-
124-
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
125-
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
126-
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
127-
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
128-
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
129-
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
130-
131-
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
132-
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
133-
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
134-
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
135-
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
136-
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
137-
along with the Program.
138-
139-
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
140-
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
141-
142-
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
143-
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
144-
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
145-
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
146-
147-
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
148-
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
149-
150-
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
151-
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
152-
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
153-
parties under the terms of this License.
154-
155-
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
156-
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
157-
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
158-
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
159-
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
160-
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
161-
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
162-
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
163-
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
164-
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
165-
166-
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
167-
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
168-
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
169-
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
170-
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
171-
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
172-
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
173-
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
174-
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
175-
176-
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
177-
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
178-
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
179-
collective works based on the Program.
180-
181-
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
182-
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
183-
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
184-
the scope of this License.
185-
186-
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
187-
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
188-
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
189-
190-
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
191-
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
192-
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
193-
194-
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
195-
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
196-
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
197-
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
198-
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
199-
customarily used for software interchange; or,
200-
201-
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
202-
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
203-
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
204-
received the program in object code or executable form with such
205-
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
206-
207-
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
208-
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
209-
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
210-
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
211-
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
212-
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
213-
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
214-
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
215-
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
216-
itself accompanies the executable.
217-
218-
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
219-
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
220-
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
221-
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
222-
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
223-
224-
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
225-
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
226-
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
227-
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
228-
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
229-
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
230-
parties remain in full compliance.
231-
232-
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
233-
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
234-
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
235-
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
236-
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
237-
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
238-
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
239-
the Program or works based on it.
240-
241-
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
242-
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
243-
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
244-
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
245-
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
246-
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
247-
this License.
248-
249-
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
250-
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
251-
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
252-
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
253-
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
254-
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
255-
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
256-
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
257-
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
258-
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
259-
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
260-
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
261-
262-
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
263-
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
264-
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
265-
circumstances.
266-
267-
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
268-
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
269-
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
270-
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
271-
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
272-
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
273-
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
274-
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
275-
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
276-
impose that choice.
277-
278-
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
279-
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
280-
281-
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
282-
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
283-
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
284-
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
285-
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
286-
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
287-
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
288-
289-
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
290-
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
291-
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
292-
address new problems or concerns.
293-
294-
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
295-
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
296-
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
297-
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
298-
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
299-
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
300-
Foundation.
301-
302-
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
303-
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
304-
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
305-
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
306-
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
307-
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
308-
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
309-
310-
NO WARRANTY
311-
312-
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
313-
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
314-
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
315-
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
316-
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
317-
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
318-
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
319-
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
320-
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
321-
322-
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
323-
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
324-
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
325-
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
326-
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
327-
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
328-
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
329-
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
330-
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
