   11  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
   12      59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
   13  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
   14  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
   15 
   16 			    Preamble
   17 
   18   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
   19 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
   20 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
   21 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
   22 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
   23 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
   24 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
   25 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
   26 your programs, too.
   27 
   28   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
   29 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
   30 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
   31 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
   32 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
   33 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
   34 
   35   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
   36 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
   37 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
   38 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
   39 
   40   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
   41 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
   42 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
   43 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
   44 rights.
   45 
   46   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
   47 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
   48 distribute and/or modify the software.
   49 
   50   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
   51 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
   52 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
   53 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
   54 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
   55 authors' reputations.
   56 
   57   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
   58 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
   59 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
   60 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
   61 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
   62 
   63   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
   64 modification follow.
   65 
   66 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   67    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
   68 
   69   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
   70 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
   71 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
   72 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
   73 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
   74 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
   75 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
   76 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
   77 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
   78 
   79 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
   80 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
   81 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
   82 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
   83 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
   84 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
   85 
   86   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
   87 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
   88 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
   89 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
   90 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
   91 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
   92 along with the Program.
   93 
   94 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
   95 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
   96 
   97   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
   98 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
   99 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  100 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  101 
  102     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  103     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  104 
  105     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  106     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  107     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  108     parties under the terms of this License.
  109 
  110     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  111     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  112     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  113     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  114     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
  115     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  116     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  117     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
  118     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  119     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  120 
  121 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
  122 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
  123 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  124 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  125 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
  126 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  127 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  128 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  129 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  130 
  131 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  132 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  133 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  134 collective works based on the Program.
  135 
  136 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
  137 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
  138 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  139 the scope of this License.
  140 
  141   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  142 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  143 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  144 
  145     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  146     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  147     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  148 
  149     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  150     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  151     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  152     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  153     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  154     customarily used for software interchange; or,
  155 
  156     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  157     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
  158     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  159     received the program in object code or executable form with such
  160     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  161 
  162 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  163 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
  164 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
  165 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
  166 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
  167 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
  168 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
  169 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
  170 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
  171 itself accompanies the executable.
  172 
  173 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
  174 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
  175 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
  176 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
  177 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  178 
  179   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
  180 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
  181 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
  182 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
  183 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
  184 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
  185 parties remain in full compliance.
  186 
  187   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  188 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  189 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
  190 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
  191 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  192 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  193 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  194 the Program or works based on it.
  195 
  196   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
  197 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  198 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
  199 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
  200 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  201 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
  202 this License.
  203 
  204   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  205 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  206 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  207 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  208 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
  209 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  210 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  211 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
  212 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
  213 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  214 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  215 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
  216 
  217 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
  218 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
  219 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
  220 circumstances.
  221 
  222 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  223 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  224 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  225 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
  226 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
  227 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  228 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  229 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  230 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  231 impose that choice.
  232 
  233 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  234 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  235 
  236   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
  237 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  238 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
  239 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
  240 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
  241 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
  242 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  243 
  244   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
  245 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
  246 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
  247 address new problems or concerns.
  248 
  249 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
  250 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
  251 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  252 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  253 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
  254 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  255 Foundation.
  256 
  257   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  258 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  259 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  260 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
  261 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
  262 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
  263 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  264 
  265 			    NO WARRANTY
  266 
  267   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
  268 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
  269 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
  270 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
  271 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  272 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
  273 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
  274 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
  275 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  276 
  277   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
  278 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
  279 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  280 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
  281 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
  282 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
  283 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
  284 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
  285 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
  286 
  287 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  288 
  289 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
  290 
  291   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
  292 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
  293 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
  294 
  295   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
  296 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
  297 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
  298 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
  299 
  300     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
  301     Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
  302 
  303     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
  304     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
  305     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
  306     (at your option) any later version.
  307 
  308     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  309     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  310     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
  311     GNU General Public License for more details.
  312 
  313     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  314     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  315     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
  316 
  317 
  318 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  319 
  320 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
  321 when it starts in an interactive mode:
  322 
  323     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
  324     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
  325     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
  326     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
  327 
  328 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
  329 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
  330 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
  331 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
  332 
  333 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
  334 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
  335 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
  336 
  337   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  338   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

  342 
  343 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
  344 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
  345 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
  346 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
  347 Public License instead of this License.
