+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
22 |
+ Version 2, June 1991 |
23 |
+ |
24 |
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. |
25 |
+ 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
26 |
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
27 |
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
28 |
+ |
29 |
+ Preamble |
30 |
+ |
31 |
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
32 |
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
33 |
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
34 |
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
35 |
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
36 |
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
37 |
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
38 |
+the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
39 |
+your programs, too. |
40 |
+ |
41 |
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
42 |
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
43 |
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
44 |
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
45 |
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
46 |
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
47 |
+ |
48 |
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
49 |
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
50 |
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
51 |
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
52 |
+ |
53 |
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
54 |
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
55 |
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
56 |
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
57 |
+rights. |
58 |
+ |
59 |
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
60 |
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
61 |
+distribute and/or modify the software. |
62 |
+ |
63 |
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
64 |
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
65 |
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
66 |
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
67 |
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
68 |
+authors' reputations. |
69 |
+ |
70 |
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
71 |
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
72 |
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
73 |
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
74 |
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
75 |
+ |
76 |
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
77 |
+modification follow. |
78 |
+ |
79 |
+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
80 |
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
81 |
+ |
82 |
+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
83 |
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
84 |
+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
85 |
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
86 |
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
87 |
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
88 |
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
89 |
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
90 |
+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
91 |
+ |
92 |
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
93 |
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
94 |
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
95 |
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
96 |
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
97 |
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
98 |
+ |
99 |
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
100 |
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
101 |
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
102 |
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
103 |
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
104 |
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
105 |
+along with the Program. |
106 |
+ |
107 |
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
108 |
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
109 |
+ |
110 |
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
111 |
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
112 |
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
113 |
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
114 |
+ |
115 |
+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
116 |
+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
117 |
+ |
118 |
+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
119 |
+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
120 |
+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
121 |
+ parties under the terms of this License. |
122 |
+ |
123 |
+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
124 |
+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
125 |
+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
126 |
+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
127 |
+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
128 |
+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
129 |
+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
130 |
+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
131 |
+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
132 |
+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
133 |
+ |
134 |
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
135 |
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
136 |
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
137 |
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
138 |
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
139 |
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
140 |
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
141 |
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
142 |
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
143 |
+ |
144 |
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
145 |
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
146 |
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
147 |
+collective works based on the Program. |
148 |
+ |
149 |
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
150 |
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
151 |
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
152 |
+the scope of this License. |
153 |
+ |
154 |
+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
155 |
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
156 |
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
157 |
+ |
158 |
+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
159 |
+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
160 |
+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
161 |
+ |
162 |
+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
163 |
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
164 |
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
165 |
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
166 |
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
167 |
+ customarily used for software interchange; or, |
168 |
+ |
169 |
+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
170 |
+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
171 |
+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
172 |
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such |
173 |
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
174 |
+ |
175 |
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
176 |
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
177 |
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
178 |
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
179 |
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
180 |
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
181 |
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
182 |
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
183 |
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
184 |
+itself accompanies the executable. |
185 |
+ |
186 |
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
187 |
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
188 |
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
189 |
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
190 |
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
191 |
+ |
192 |
+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
193 |
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
194 |
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
195 |
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
196 |
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
197 |
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
198 |
+parties remain in full compliance. |
199 |
+ |
200 |
+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
201 |
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
202 |
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
203 |
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
204 |
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
205 |
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
206 |
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
207 |
+the Program or works based on it. |
208 |
+ |
209 |
+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
210 |
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
211 |
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
212 |
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
213 |
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
214 |
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
215 |
+this License. |
216 |
+ |
217 |
+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
218 |
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
219 |
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
220 |
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
221 |
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
222 |
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
223 |
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
224 |
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
225 |
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
226 |
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
227 |
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
228 |
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
229 |
+ |
230 |
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
231 |
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
232 |
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
233 |
+circumstances. |
234 |
+ |
235 |
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
236 |
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
237 |
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
238 |
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
239 |
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
240 |
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
241 |
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
242 |
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
243 |
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
244 |
+impose that choice. |
245 |
+ |
246 |
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
247 |
+be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
248 |
+ |
249 |
+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
250 |
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
251 |
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
252 |
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
253 |
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
254 |
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
255 |
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
256 |
+ |
257 |
+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
258 |
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
259 |
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
260 |
+address new problems or concerns. |
261 |
+ |
262 |
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
263 |
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
264 |
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
265 |
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
266 |
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
267 |
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
268 |
+Foundation. |
269 |
+ |
270 |
+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
271 |
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
272 |
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
273 |
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
274 |
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
275 |
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
276 |
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
277 |
+ |
278 |
+ NO WARRANTY |
279 |
+ |
280 |
+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
281 |
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
282 |
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
283 |
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
284 |
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
285 |
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
286 |
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
287 |
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
288 |
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
289 |
+ |
290 |
+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
291 |
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
292 |
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
293 |
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
294 |
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
295 |
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
296 |
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
297 |
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
298 |
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
299 |
+ |
300 |
+ END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
301 |
+ |
302 |
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
303 |
+ |
304 |
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
305 |
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
306 |
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
307 |
+ |
308 |
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
309 |
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
310 |
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
311 |
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
312 |
+ |
313 |
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
314 |
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
315 |
+ |
316 |
+ This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
317 |
+ it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
318 |
+ the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
319 |
+ (at your option) any later version. |
320 |
+ |
321 |
+ This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
322 |
+ but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
323 |
+ MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
324 |
+ GNU General Public License for more details. |
325 |
+ |
326 |
+ You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
327 |
+ along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |
328 |
+ Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
329 |
+ |
330 |
+ |
331 |
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
332 |
+ |
333 |
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
334 |
+when it starts in an interactive mode: |
335 |
+ |
336 |
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
337 |
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
338 |
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
339 |
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
340 |
+ |
341 |
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
342 |
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
343 |
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
344 |
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
345 |
+ |
346 |
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
347 |
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
348 |
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
349 |
+ |
350 |
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
351 |
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

+ <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 |
354 |
+ Ty Coon, President of Vice |
355 |
+ |
356 |
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
357 |
+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
358 |
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
359 |
+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General |
360 |
+Public License instead of this License. |
