1 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1
1 Preamble
1 ========
1
1 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
1 to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
1 intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software—to
1 make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
1 License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and
1 to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
1 Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public
1 License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
1
1 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if
1 you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
1 free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1
1 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1
1 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
1 rights.
1
1 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
1 and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1 distribute and/or modify the software.
1
1 Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain
1 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1 authors’ reputations.
1
1 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1 patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
1
1 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1 modification follow.
1
1 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1 ===============================================================
1
1 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
1 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1 under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”,
1 below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the
1 Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under
1 copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a
1 portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
1 translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is
1 included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each
1 licensee is addressed as “you”.
1
1 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are
1 not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act
1 of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
1 Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
1 the Program (independent of having been made by running the
1 Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1
1 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source
1 code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
1 warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of
1 this License along with the Program.
1
1 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
1 and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange
1 for a fee.
1
1 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
1 it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1
1 a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1
1 b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
1 in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or
1 any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
1 all third parties under the terms of this License.
1
1 c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display
1 an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and
1 a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you
1 provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the
1 program under these conditions, and telling the user how to
1 view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program
1 itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
1 announcement, your work based on the Program is not required
1 to print an announcement.)
1
1 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
1 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
1 Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate
1 works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply
1 to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But
1 when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
1 work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
1 the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees
1 extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part
1 regardless of who wrote it.
1
1 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
1 contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the
1 intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of
1 derivative or collective works based on the Program.
1
1 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
1 Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
1 volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
1 work under the scope of this License.
1
1 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms
1 of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
1 following:
1
1 a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
1 Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
1 software interchange; or,
1
1 b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
1 medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1
1 c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
1 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1 received the program in object code or executable form with
1 such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
1
1 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
1 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete
1 source code means all the source code for all modules it contains,
1 plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts
1 used to control compilation and installation of the executable.
1 However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need
1 not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source
1 or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so
1 on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless
1 that component itself accompanies the executable.
1
1 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
1 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
1 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
1 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
1 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1
1 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
1 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
1 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
1 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
1 License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
1 from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
1 so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
1
1 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
1 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify
1 or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions
1 are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
1 Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
1 based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License
1 to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
1 distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
1
1 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
1 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
1 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject
1 to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
1 restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted
1 herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
1 parties to this License.
1
1 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
1 issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
1 agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
1 License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
1 License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
1 your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
1 obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
1 Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
1 royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
1 copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
1 could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
1 from distribution of the Program.
1
1 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
1 under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
1 intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
1 in other circumstances.
1
1 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
1 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
1 any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
1 the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
1 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
1 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
1 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
1 willing to distribute software through any other system and a
1 licensee cannot impose that choice.
1
1 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
1 to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1
1 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
1 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
1 the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
1 License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
1 excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
1 in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this
1 License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of
1 this License.
1
1 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
1 versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
1 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
1 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
1
1 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
1 Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to
1 it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the
1 terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
1 published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not
1 specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
1 version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
1
1 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
1 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
1 author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by
1 the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
1 Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
1 will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
1 all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
1 and reuse of software generally.
1
1 NO WARRANTY
1
1 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
1 WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
1 LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS
1 AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
1 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
1 LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
1 FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
1 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
1 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR
1 OR CORRECTION.
1
1 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
1 WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
1 MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
1 LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
1 INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
1 INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
1 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU
1 OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY
1 OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
1 ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1
1 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1
1 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1 =======================================================
1
1 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
1 terms.
1
1 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
1 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
1 “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1
1 ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
1 Copyright (C) YYYY NAME OF AUTHOR
1
1 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
1 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
1 (at your option) any later version.
1
1 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
1 GNU General Public License for more details.
1
1 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
1 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
1 Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA.
1
1 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
1 mail.
1
1 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like
1 this when it starts in an interactive mode:
1
1 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) YEAR NAME OF AUTHOR
1 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1
1 The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the
1 appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
1 commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show
1 c’; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items—whatever suits your
1 program.
1
1 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
1 your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program,
1 if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
1
1 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1 SIGNATURE OF TY COON, 1 April 1989
1 Ty Coon, President of Vice
1
1 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
1 program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
1 library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
1 applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
1 GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.
