Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
|

document, but changing it is not allowed. |

Preamble |
|
12 |
||
13 |
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share |
|
14 |
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to |
|
15 |
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the |
|
16 |
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to |
|
17 |
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose |
|
18 |
authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is |
|
19 |
covered by the GNU Library 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 price. Our |
|
23 |
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
|
24 |
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), |
|
25 |
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change |
|
26 |
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you |
|
27 |
can do these things. |
|
28 |
||
29 |
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny |
|
30 |
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions |
|
31 |
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the |
|
32 |
software, or if you modify it. |
|
33 |
||
34 |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for |
|
35 |
a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must |
|
36 |
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must |
|
37 |
show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|
38 |
||
39 |
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) |
|
40 |
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute |
|
41 |
and/or modify the software. |
|
42 |
||
43 |
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that |
|
44 |
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the |
|
45 |
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to |
|
46 |
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced |
|
47 |
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. |
|
48 |
||
49 |
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We |
|
50 |
wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will |
|
51 |
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. |
|
52 |
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for |
|
53 |
everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|
54 |
||
55 |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
|
56 |
follow. |
|
57 |
||
58 |
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
59 |
||
60 |
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice |
|
61 |
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
|
62 |
this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program |
|
63 |
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any |
|
64 |
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the |
|
65 |
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
|
66 |
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included |
|
67 |
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as |
|
68 |
"you". |
|
69 |
||
70 |
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by |
|
71 |
this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is |
|
72 |
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents |
|
73 |
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by |
|
74 |
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
75 |
||
76 |
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as |
|
77 |
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
|
78 |
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and |
|
79 |
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License |
|
80 |
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the |
|
81 |
Program a copy of this License along with the Program. |
|
82 |
||
83 |
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may |
|
84 |
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|
85 |
||
86 |
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus |
|
87 |
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications |
|
88 |
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of |
|
89 |
these conditions: |
|
90 |
||
91 |
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating |
|
92 |
that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
93 |
||
94 |
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or |
|
95 |
in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be |
|
96 |
licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of |
|
97 |
this License. |
|
98 |
||
99 |
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, |
|
100 |
you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the |
|
101 |
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an |
|
102 |
appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or |
|
103 |
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute |
|
104 |
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy |
|
105 |
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does |
|
106 |
not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is |
|
107 |
not required to print an announcement.) |
|
108 |
||
109 |
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable |
|
110 |
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably |
|
111 |
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and |
|
112 |
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate |
|
113 |
works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a |
|
114 |
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms |
|
115 |
of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire |
|
116 |
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|
117 |
||
118 |
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your |
|
119 |
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the |
|
120 |
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on |
|
121 |
the Program. |
|
122 |
||
123 |
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the |
|
124 |
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or |
|
125 |
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this |
|
126 |
License. |
|
127 |
||
128 |
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under |
|
129 |
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and |
|
130 |
2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|
131 |
||
132 |
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source |
|
133 |
code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above |
|
134 |
on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
135 |
||
136 |
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to |
|
137 |
give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically |
|
138 |
performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the |
|
139 |
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 |
|
140 |
and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
141 |
||
142 |
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to |
|
143 |
distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only |
|
144 |
for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in |
|
145 |
object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with |
|
146 |
Subsection b above.) |
|
147 |
||
148 |
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
|
149 |
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all |
|
150 |
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface |
|
151 |
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation |
|
152 |
of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code |
|
153 |
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either |
|
154 |
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) |
|
155 |
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|
156 |
itself accompanies the executable. |
|
157 |
||
158 |
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy |
|
159 |
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source |
|
160 |
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though |
|
161 |
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
162 |
||
163 |
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as |
|
164 |
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, |
|
165 |
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate |
|
166 |
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or |
|
167 |
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so |
|
168 |
long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
|
169 |
||
170 |
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. |
|
171 |
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program |
|
172 |
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not |
|
173 |
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or |
|
174 |
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to |
|
175 |
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
176 |
the Program or works based on it. |
|
177 |
||
178 |
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), |
|
179 |
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to |
|
180 |
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. |
|
181 |
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the |
|
182 |
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by |
|
183 |
third parties to this License. |
|
184 |
||
185 |
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
186 |
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions |
|
187 |
are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that |
|
188 |
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the |
|
189 |
conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy |
|
190 |
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
|
191 |
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. |
|
192 |
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution |
|
193 |
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through |
|
194 |
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
195 |
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|
196 |
||
197 |
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
|
198 |
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and |
|
199 |
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
|
200 |
||
201 |
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or |
|
202 |
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this |
|
203 |
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software |
|
204 |
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many |
|
205 |
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software |
|
206 |
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
207 |
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to |
|
208 |
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that |
|
209 |
choice. |
|
210 |
||
211 |
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a |
|
212 |
consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
213 |
||
214 |
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain |
|
215 |
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original |
|
216 |
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit |
|
217 |
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that |
|
218 |
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In |
|
219 |
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body |
|
220 |
of this License. |
|
221 |
||
222 |
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the |
|
223 |
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in |
|
224 |
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems |
|
225 |
or concerns. |
|
226 |
||
227 |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|
228 |
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later |
|
229 |
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of |
|
230 |
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
231 |
If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may |
|
232 |
choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
233 |
||
234 |
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs |
|
235 |
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for |
|
236 |
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, |
|
237 |
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. |
|
238 |
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
|
239 |
all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of |
|
240 |
software generally. |
|
241 |
||
242 |
NO WARRANTY |
|
243 |
||
244 |
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR |
|
245 |
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE |
|
246 |
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE |
|
247 |
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, |
|
248 |
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND |
|
249 |
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
|
250 |
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, |
|
251 |
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
252 |
||
253 |
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL |
|
254 |
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE |
|
255 |
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
|
256 |
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
|
257 |
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA |
|
258 |
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
|
259 |
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER |
|
260 |
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
261 |
||
262 |
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
263 |
||
264 |
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|
265 |
||
266 |
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible |
|
267 |
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software |
|
268 |
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|
269 |
||
270 |
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach |
|
271 |
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion |
|
272 |
of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a |
|
273 |
pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
274 |
||
275 |
One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. |
|
276 |
||
277 |
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
278 |
||
279 |
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it |
|
280 |
under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free |
|
281 |
Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) |
|
282 |
any later version. |
|
283 |
||
284 |
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT |
|
285 |
ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or |
|
286 |
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for |
|
287 |
more details. |
|
288 |
||
289 |
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
|
290 |
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 |
|
291 |
Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
|
292 |
||
293 |
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
294 |
||
295 |
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it |
|
296 |
starts in an interactive mode: |
|
297 |
||
298 |
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes |
|
299 |
with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free |
|
300 |
software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; |
|
301 |
type 'show c' for details. |
|
302 |
||
303 |
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate |
|
304 |
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be |
|
305 |
called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be |
|
306 |
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
|
307 |
||
308 |
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, |
|
309 |
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here |
|
310 |
is a sample; alter the names: |
|
311 |
||
312 |
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
|
313 |
'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
|
320 |
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
|
321 |
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
|
322 |
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public |
|
323 |
License instead of this License. |

Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making |
|
335 |
a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of |
|
336 |
the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination. |
|
337 |
||
338 |
As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you |
|
339 |
permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an |

executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, |
|
341 |
and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your |

the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent |
