<p>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies</p>

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