7 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street,
8 Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and
9 distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not
10 allowed.
11
12 Preamble
13
14 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
15 and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
16 guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
17 software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
18 most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
19 authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
20 covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it
21 to your programs, too.
22
23 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
24 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
25 distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
26 that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
27 the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
28 can do these things.
29
30 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
31 deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
32 restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute
33 copies of the software, or if you modify it.
34
35 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
36 a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
37 make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
38 show them these terms so they know their rights.
39
40 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
41 offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
42 and/or modify the software.
43
44 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
45 everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
46 software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
47 know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
48 by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
49
50 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
51 wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
52 individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
53 To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
54 everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55
56 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
57 follow.
58
59 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
60 MODIFICATION
61
62 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
63 placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
64 this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
65 or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
66 derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
67 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
68 translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
69 without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
70 "you".
71
72 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
73 by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
74 not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its
75 contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been
76 made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
77 does.
78
79 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
80 you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
81 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
82 disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
83 and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
84 Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
85
86 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
87 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 of it,
90 thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
91 modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
92 also meet all of these conditions:
93
94 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
95 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 whole or in
98 part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
99 licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
100 License.
101
102 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
103 must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
104 ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
105 copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
106 you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
107 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
108 (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print
109 such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
110 an announcement.)
111
112 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
113 sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
114 considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,
115 and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
116 separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole
117 which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on
118 the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
119 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
120
121 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
122 rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
123 right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
124 the Program.
125
126 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with
127 the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
128 distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
129 License.
130
131 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
132 Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
133 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
134
135 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
136 which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
137 medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
138
139 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
140 any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
141 source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
142 source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
143 medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
144
145 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
146 distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
147 noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code
148 or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
149
150 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
151 modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
152 the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
153 definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
154 installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
155 code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
156 either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and
157 so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
158 component itself accompanies the executable.
159
160 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
161 copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
162 source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
163 even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
164 object code.
165
166 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
167 expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
168 sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
169 your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
170 rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
171 long as such parties remain in full compliance.
172
173 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
174 However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
175 Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do
176 not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program
177 (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this
178 License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing
179 or modifying the Program or works based on it.
180
181 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
182 the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
183 copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
184 You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
185 rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
186 third parties to this License.
187
188 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
189 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
190 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise)
191 that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from
192 the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
193 simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
194 obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
195 For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
196 of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
197 you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
198 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
199
200 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
201 particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
202 the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
203
204 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
205 other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
206 section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
207 distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
208 people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
209 distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
210 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
211 distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
212 choice.
213
214 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
215 consequence of the rest of this License.
216
217 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
218 countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
219 copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
220 geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
221 distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
222 such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
223 of this License.
224
225 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
226 General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
227 spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
228 problems or concerns.
229
230 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
231 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
232 version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
233 that version or of any later version published by the Free Software
234 Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
235 you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
236
237 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
238 whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
239 permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
240 write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
241 Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
242 all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
243 software generally.
244
245  NO WARRANTY
246
247 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
248 THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
249 STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
250 PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
251 INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
252 FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
253 PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
254 YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
255
256 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
257 ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
258 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
259 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
260 OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR
261 DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR
262 A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH
263 HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
264
265 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
