0009 
0010  Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
0011                51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
0012  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
0013  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0014 
0015                             Preamble
0016 
0017   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
0018 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
0019 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
0020 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
0021 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
0022 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
0023 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
0024 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
0025 your programs, too.
0026 
0027   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
0028 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
0029 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
0030 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
0031 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
0032 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
0033 
0034   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
0035 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
0036 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
0037 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
0038 
0039   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
0040 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
0041 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
0042 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
0043 rights.
0044 
0045   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
0046 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
0047 distribute and/or modify the software.
0048 
0049   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
0050 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
0051 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
0052 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
0053 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
0054 authors' reputations.
0055 
0056   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
0057 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
0058 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
0059 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
0060 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
0061 
0062   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
0063 modification follow.
0064 
0065                     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
0066    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0067 
0068   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
0069 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
0070 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
0071 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
0072 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
0073 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
0074 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
0075 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
0076 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
0077 
0078 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
0079 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
0080 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
0081 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
0082 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
0083 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
0084 
0085   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
0086 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
0087 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
0088 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
0089 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
0090 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
0091 along with the Program.
0092 
0093 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
0094 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
0095 
0096   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
0097 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
0098 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
0099 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
0100 
0101     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
0102     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
0103 
0104     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
0105     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
0106     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
0107     parties under the terms of this License.
0108 
0109     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
0110     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
0111     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
0112     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
0113     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
0114     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
0115     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
0116     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
0117     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
0118     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
0119 
0120 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
0121 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
0122 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
0123 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
0124 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
0125 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
0126 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
0127 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
0128 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
0129 
0130 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
0131 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
0132 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
0133 collective works based on the Program.
0134 
0135 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
0136 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
0137 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
0138 the scope of this License.
0139 
0140   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
0141 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
0142 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
0143 
0144     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
0145     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
0146     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
0147 
0148     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
0149     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
0150     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
0151     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
0152     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
0153     customarily used for software interchange; or,
0154 
0155     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
0156     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
0157     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
0158     received the program in object code or executable form with such
0159     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
0160 
0161 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
0162 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
0163 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
0164 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
0165 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
0166 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
0167 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
0168 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
0169 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
0170 itself accompanies the executable.
0171 
0172 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
0173 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
0174 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
0175 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
0176 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
0177 
0178   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
0179 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
0180 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
0181 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
0182 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
0183 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
0184 parties remain in full compliance.
0185 
0186   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
0187 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
0188 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
0189 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
0190 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
0191 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
0192 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
0193 the Program or works based on it.
0194 
0195   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
0196 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
0197 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
0198 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
0199 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
0200 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
0201 this License.
0202 
0203   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
0204 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
0205 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
0206 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
0207 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
0208 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
0209 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
0210 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
0211 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
0212 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
0213 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
0214 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
0215 
0216 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
0217 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
0218 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
0219 circumstances.
0220 
0221 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
0222 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
0223 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
0224 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
0225 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
0226 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
0227 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
0228 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
0229 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
0230 impose that choice.
0231 
0232 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
0233 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
0234 
0235   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
0236 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
0237 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
0238 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
0239 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
0240 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
0241 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
0242 
0243   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
0244 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
0245 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
0246 address new problems or concerns.
0247 
0248 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
0249 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
0250 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
0251 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
0252 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
0253 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
0254 Foundation.
0255 
0256   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
0257 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
0258 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
0259 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
0260 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
0261 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
0262 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
0263 
0264                             NO WARRANTY
0265 
0266   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
0267 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
0268 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
0269 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
0270 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
0271 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
0272 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
0273 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
0274 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
0275 
0276   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
0277 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
0278 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
0279 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
0280 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
0281 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
0282 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
0283 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
0284 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
0285 
0286                      END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0287 
0288             How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
0289 
0290   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
0291 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
0292 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
0293 
0294   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
0295 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
0296 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
0297 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
0298 
0299     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
0300     Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
0301 
0302     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
0303     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
0304     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
0305     (at your option) any later version.
0306 
0307     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
0308     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
0309     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
0310     GNU General Public License for more details.
0311 
0312     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
0313     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
0314     Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
0315 
0316 
0317 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
0318 
0319 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
0320 when it starts in an interactive mode:
0321 
0322     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
0323     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
0324     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
0325     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
0326 
0327 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
0328 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
0329 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
0330 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
0331 
0332 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
0333 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
0334 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
0335 
0336   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
0337   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

0341 
0342 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
0343 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
0344 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
0345 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
0346 Public License instead of this License.
