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