    31 
    32  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    33      59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
    34  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    35  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    36 
    37 			    Preamble
    38 
    39   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
    40 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
    41 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
    42 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
    43 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
    44 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
    45 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
    46 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
    47 your programs, too.
    48 
    49   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    50 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    51 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    52 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
    53 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
    54 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
    55 
    56   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
    57 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
    58 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
    59 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
    60 
    61   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    62 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
    63 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
    64 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
    65 rights.
    66 
    67   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
    68 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
    69 distribute and/or modify the software.
    70 
    71   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
    72 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
    73 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
    74 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
    75 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
    76 authors' reputations.
    77 
    78   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
    79 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
    80 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
    81 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
    82 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
    83 
    84   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    85 modification follow.
    86 
    87 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    88    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
    89 
    90   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
    91 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
    92 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
    93 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
    94 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
    95 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
    96 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
    97 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
    98 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
    99 
   100 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
   101 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
   102 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
   103 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
   104 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
   105 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
   106 
   107   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
   108 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
   109 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
   110 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
   111 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
   112 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
   113 along with the Program.
   114 
   115 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
   116 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
   117 
   118   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
   119 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
   120 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
   121 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   122 
   123     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
   124     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
   125 
   126     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
   127     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
   128     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
   129     parties under the terms of this License.
   130 
   131     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
   132     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
   133     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
   134     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
   135     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
   136     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
   137     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
   138     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
   139     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
   140     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
   141 
   142 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
   143 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
   144 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
   145 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
   146 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
   147 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
   148 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
   149 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
   150 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
   151 
   152 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
   153 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
   154 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
   155 collective works based on the Program.
   156 
   157 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
   158 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
   159 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
   160 the scope of this License.
   161 
   162   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
   163 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
   164 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
   165 
   166     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
   167     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
   168     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   169 
   170     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
   171     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
   172     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
   173     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
   174     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
   175     customarily used for software interchange; or,
   176 
   177     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
   178     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
   179     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
   180     received the program in object code or executable form with such
   181     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
   182 
   183 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
   184 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
   185 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
   186 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
   187 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
   188 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
   189 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
   190 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
   191 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
   192 itself accompanies the executable.
   193 
   194 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
   195 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
   196 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
   197 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
   198 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
   199 
   200   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
   201 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
   202 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
   203 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
   204 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
   205 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
   206 parties remain in full compliance.
   207 
   208   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
   209 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
   210 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
   211 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
   212 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
   213 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
   214 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
   215 the Program or works based on it.
   216 
   217   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
   218 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
   219 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
   220 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
   221 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
   222 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
   223 this License.
   224 
   225   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
   226 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
   227 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   228 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   229 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
   230 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
   231 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
   232 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
   233 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
   234 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
   235 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
   236 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
   237 
   238 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
   239 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
   240 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
   241 circumstances.
   242 
   243 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
   244 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
   245 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
   246 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
   247 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
   248 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
   249 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
   250 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
   251 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
   252 impose that choice.
   253 
   254 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
   255 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
   256 
   257   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
   258 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
   259 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
   260 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
   261 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
   262 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
   263 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
   264 
   265   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
   266 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
   267 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
   268 address new problems or concerns.
   269 
   270 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
   271 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
   272 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
   273 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
   274 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
   275 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
   276 Foundation.
   277 
   278   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
   279 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
   280 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
   281 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
   282 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
   283 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
   284 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
   285 
   286 			    NO WARRANTY
   287 
   288   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
   289 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
   290 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
   291 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
   292 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   293 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
   294 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
   295 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
   296 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   297 
   298   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   299 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
   300 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
   301 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
   302 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
   303 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
   304 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
   305 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
   306 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
   307 
   308 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
