    29 		       Version 2, June 1991
    30 
    31  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
    32      59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
    33  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
    34  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
    35 
    36 			    Preamble
    37 
    38   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
    39 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
    40 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
    41 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
    42 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
    43 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
    44 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
    45 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
    46 your programs, too.
    47 
    48   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
    49 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
    50 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
    51 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
    52 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
    53 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
    54 
    55   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
    56 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
    57 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
    58 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
    59 
    60   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
    61 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
    62 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
    63 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
    64 rights.
    65 
    66   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
    67 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
    68 distribute and/or modify the software.
    69 
    70   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
    71 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
    72 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
    73 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
    74 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
    75 authors' reputations.
    76 
    77   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
    78 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
    79 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
    80 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
    81 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
    82 
    83   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
    84 modification follow.
    85 
    86 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
    87    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
    88 
    89   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
    90 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
    91 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
    92 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
    93 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
    94 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
    95 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
    96 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
    97 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
    98 
    99 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
   100 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
   101 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
   102 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
   103 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
   104 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
   105 
   106   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
   107 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
   108 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
   109 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
   110 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
   111 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
   112 along with the Program.
   113 
   114 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
   115 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
   116 
   117   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
   118 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
   119 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
   120 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
   121 
   122     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
   123     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
   124 
   125     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
   126     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
   127     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
   128     parties under the terms of this License.
   129 
   130     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
   131     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
   132     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
   133     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
   134     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
   135     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
   136     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
   137     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
   138     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
   139     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
   140 
   141 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
   142 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
   143 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
   144 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
   145 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
   146 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
   147 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
   148 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
   149 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
   150 
   151 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
   152 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
   153 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
   154 collective works based on the Program.
   155 
   156 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
   157 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
   158 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
   159 the scope of this License.
   160 
   161   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
   162 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
   163 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
   164 
   165     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
   166     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
   167     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
   168 
   169     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
   170     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
   171     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
   172     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
   173     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
   174     customarily used for software interchange; or,
   175 
   176     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
   177     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
   178     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
   179     received the program in object code or executable form with such
   180     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
   181 
   182 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
   183 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
   184 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
   185 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
   186 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
   187 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
   188 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
   189 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
   190 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
   191 itself accompanies the executable.
   192 
   193 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
   194 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
   195 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
   196 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
   197 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
   198 
   199   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
   200 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
   201 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
   202 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
   203 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
   204 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
   205 parties remain in full compliance.
   206 
   207   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
   208 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
   209 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
   210 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
   211 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
   212 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
   213 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
   214 the Program or works based on it.
   215 
   216   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
   217 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
   218 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
   219 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
   220 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
   221 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
   222 this License.
   223 
   224   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
   225 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
   226 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
   227 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
   228 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
   229 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
   230 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
   231 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
   232 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
   233 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
   234 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
   235 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
   236 
   237 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
   238 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
   239 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
   240 circumstances.
   241 
   242 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
   243 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
   244 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
   245 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
   246 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
   247 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
   248 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
   249 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
   250 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
   251 impose that choice.
   252 
   253 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
   254 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
   255 
   256   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
   257 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
   258 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
   259 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
   260 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
   261 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
   262 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
   263 
   264   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
   265 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
   266 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
   267 address new problems or concerns.
   268 
   269 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
   270 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
   271 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
   272 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
   273 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
   274 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
   275 Foundation.
   276 
   277   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
   278 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
   279 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
   280 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
   281 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
   282 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
   283 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
   284 
   285 			    NO WARRANTY
   286 
   287   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
   288 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
   289 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
   290 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
   291 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
   292 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
   293 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
   294 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
   295 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
   296 
   297   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
   298 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
   299 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
   300 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
   301 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
   302 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
   303 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
   304 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
   305 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
   306 
   307 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
