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