10 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
11 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
13 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
15 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18 20ccc1bb 2011-11-06 alex the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
19 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex your programs, too.
20 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
21 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
28 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
33 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
37 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex rights.
38 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
39 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute and/or modify the software.
42 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
43 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex authors' reputations.
49 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
50 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
56 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex modification follow.

59 20ccc1bb 2011-11-06 alex GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
62 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
65 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
72 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
74 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
79 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex along with the Program.
86 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
87 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
90 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
95 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
98 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex parties under the terms of this License.
102 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
103 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113 20ccc1bb 2011-11-06 alex
114 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
115 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
119 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
124 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex collective works based on the Program.
128 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
129 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the scope of this License.
133 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
134 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
138 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
142 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex customarily used for software interchange; or,
148 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
149 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
151 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex received the program in object code or executable form with such
153 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
155 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
157 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
160 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex itself accompanies the executable.
165 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
166 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171 20ccc1bb 2011-11-06 alex
172 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
174 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex parties remain in full compliance.
179 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
180 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
183 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
184 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the Program or works based on it.
188 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
189 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
193 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex this License.
196 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
197 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
202 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
205 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
210 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex circumstances.
214 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
215 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
220 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex impose that choice.
225 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
226 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228 20ccc1bb 2011-11-06 alex
229 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
235 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
237 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
239 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex address new problems or concerns.

287 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex
288 f4ade537 2001-12-11 alex To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
