  18 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  19 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

  21                            Preamble
  22
  23  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
  24at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
  25License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
  26software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
  27General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
  28software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
  29You can use it for your programs, too.
  30
  31  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  32price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
  33sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
  34software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
  35that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
  36programs; and that you know you can do these things.
  37
  38  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
  39anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
  40These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
  41distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
  42
  43  For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
  44gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
  45you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
  46source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
  47
  48  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
  49(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
  50distribute and/or modify the software.
  51
  52  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
  53that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
  54software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
  55want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
  56that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
  57authors' reputations.
  58
  59  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  60modification follow.
  61
  62                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  63   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
  64
  65  0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
  66contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
  67distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
  68"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
  69on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
  70Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
  71licensee is addressed as "you".
  72
  73  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
  74code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
  75appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
  76disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
  77General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
  78other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
  79along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
  80transferring a copy.
  81
  82  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
  83it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
  841 above, provided that you also do the following:
  85
  86    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
  87    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
  88
  89    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
  90    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
  91    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
  92    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
  93    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
  94    third parties, at your option).
  95
  96    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
  97    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
  98    in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
  99    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
 100    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
 101    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
 102    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
 103    Public License.
 104
 105    d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
 106    copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
 107    exchange for a fee.
 108
 109Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
 110derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
 111the other work under the scope of these terms.
 112
 113  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
 114it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
 115Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
 116
 117    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
 118    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
 119    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
 120
 121    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
 122    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
 123    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
 124    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
 125    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
 126
 127    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
 128    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
 129    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
 130    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
 131
 132Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
 133modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
 134all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
 135exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
 136libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
 137file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
 138accompany that operating system.
 139
 140  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
 141Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
 142Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
 143the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
 144the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
 145copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
 146License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
 147remain in full compliance.
 148
 149  5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
 150on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
 151and all its terms and conditions.
 152
 153  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
 154Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
 155licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
 156terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
 157recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
 158
 159  7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
 160of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
 161be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
 162address new problems or concerns.
 163
 164Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
 165specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
 166later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
 167either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
 168Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
 169the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
 170Foundation.
 171
 172  8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
 173programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
 174to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
 175Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
 176make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
 177of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
 178of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
 179
 180                            NO WARRANTY
 181
 182  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
 183FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
 184OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
 185PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
 186OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
 187MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
 188TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
 189PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
 190REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 191
 192  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
 193WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
 194REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
 195INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
 196OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
 197TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
 198YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
 199PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
 200POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
 201
 202                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 203
 204        Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
 205
 206  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
 207possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
 208free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
 209terms.
 210
 211  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
 212attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
 213the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
 214"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
 215
 216    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
 217    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
 218
 219    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
 220    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
 221    the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
 222    any later version.
 223
 224    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
 225    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
 226    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
 227    GNU General Public License for more details.
 228
 229    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
 230    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
 231    Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
 232
 233Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
 234
 235If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
 236when it starts in an interactive mode:
 237
 238    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
 239    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
 240    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
 241    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
 242
 243The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
 244appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
 245commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
 246c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
 247program.
 248
 249You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
 250school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
 251necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
 252
 253  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
 254  program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
 255  at assemblers) written by James Hacker.

 260That's all there is to it!
