1.4 - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1.5 - Version 2, June 1991
1.6 -
1.7 - Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
1.8 - 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
1.9 - Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1.10 - of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
1.11 -
1.12 - Preamble
1.13 -
1.14 - The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
1.15 -freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
1.16 -License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
1.17 -software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
1.18 -General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
1.19 -Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
1.20 -using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
1.21 -the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
1.22 -your programs, too.
1.23 -
1.24 - When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
1.25 -price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
1.26 -have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
1.27 -this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
1.28 -if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
1.29 -in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
1.30 -
1.31 - To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
1.32 -anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
1.33 -These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
1.34 -distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
1.35 -
1.36 - For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
1.37 -gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
1.38 -you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
1.39 -source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
1.40 -rights.
1.41 -
1.42 - We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
1.43 -(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
1.44 -distribute and/or modify the software.
1.45 -
1.46 - Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
1.47 -that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
1.48 -software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
1.49 -want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
1.50 -that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
1.51 -authors' reputations.
1.52 -
1.53 - Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
1.54 -patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
1.55 -program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
1.56 -program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
1.57 -patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1.58 -
1.59 - The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
1.60 -modification follow.
1.61 -
1.62 - GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1.63 - TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1.64 -
1.65 - 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
1.66 -a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
1.67 -under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
1.68 -refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
1.69 -means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
1.70 -that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
1.71 -either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
1.72 -language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
1.73 -the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
1.74 -
1.75 -Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
1.76 -covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
1.77 -running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
1.78 -is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
1.79 -Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
1.80 -Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1.81 -
1.82 - 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
1.83 -source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
1.84 -conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
1.85 -copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
1.86 -notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
1.87 -and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
1.88 -along with the Program.
1.89 -
1.90 -You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
1.91 -you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1.92 -
1.93 - 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
1.94 -of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
1.95 -distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
1.96 -above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
1.97 -
1.98 - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
1.99 - stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1.100 -
1.101 - b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
1.102 - whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
1.103 - part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
1.104 - parties under the terms of this License.
1.105 -
1.106 - c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
1.107 - when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
1.108 - interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
1.109 - announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
1.110 - notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
1.111 - a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
1.112 - these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
1.113 - License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
1.114 - does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
1.115 - the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1.116 -
1.117 -These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
1.118 -identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
1.119 -and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
1.120 -themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
1.121 -sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
1.122 -distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
1.123 -on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
1.124 -this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
1.125 -entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1.126 -
1.127 -Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
1.128 -your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
1.129 -exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
1.130 -collective works based on the Program.
1.131 -
1.132 -In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
1.133 -with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
1.134 -a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
1.135 -the scope of this License.
1.136 -
1.137 - 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
1.138 -under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
1.139 -Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1.140 -
1.141 - a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
1.142 - source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1.143 - 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1.144 -
1.145 - b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
1.146 - years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
1.147 - cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
1.148 - machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
1.149 - distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
1.150 - customarily used for software interchange; or,
1.151 -
1.152 - c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
1.153 - to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
1.154 - allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
1.155 - received the program in object code or executable form with such
1.156 - an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
1.157 -
1.158 -The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
1.159 -making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
1.160 -code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
1.161 -associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
1.162 -control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
1.163 -special exception, the source code distributed need not include
1.164 -anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
1.165 -form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
1.166 -operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
1.167 -itself accompanies the executable.
1.168 -
1.169 -If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
1.170 -access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
1.171 -access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
1.172 -distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
1.173 -compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1.174 -
1.175 - 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
1.176 -except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
1.177 -otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
1.178 -void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
1.179 -However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
1.180 -this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
1.181 -parties remain in full compliance.
1.182 -
1.183 - 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
1.184 -signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
1.185 -distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
1.186 -prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
1.187 -modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
1.188 -Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
1.189 -all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
1.190 -the Program or works based on it.
1.191 -
1.192 - 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
1.193 -Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
1.194 -original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
1.195 -these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
1.196 -restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
1.197 -You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
1.198 -this License.
1.199 -
1.200 - 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1.201 -infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
1.202 -conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
1.203 -otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
1.204 -excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
1.205 -distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
1.206 -License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
1.207 -may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
1.208 -license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
1.209 -all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
1.210 -the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
1.211 -refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
1.212 -
1.213 -If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
1.214 -any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
1.215 -apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
1.216 -circumstances.
1.217 -
1.218 -It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
1.219 -patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
1.220 -such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
1.221 -integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
1.222 -implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
1.223 -generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
1.224 -through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1.225 -system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
1.226 -to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
1.227 -impose that choice.
1.228 -
1.229 -This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
1.230 -be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1.231 -
1.232 - 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
1.233 -certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
1.234 -original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
1.235 -may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
1.236 -those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
1.237 -countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
1.238 -the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
1.239 -
1.240 - 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
1.241 -of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
1.242 -be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
1.243 -address new problems or concerns.
1.244 -
1.245 -Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
1.246 -specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
1.247 -later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
1.248 -either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
1.249 -Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
1.250 -this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
1.251 -Foundation.
1.252 -
1.253 - 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
1.254 -programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
1.255 -to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
1.256 -Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
1.257 -make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
1.258 -of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
1.259 -of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
1.260 -
1.261 - NO WARRANTY
1.262 -
1.263 - 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
1.264 -FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
1.265 -OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
1.266 -PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
1.267 -OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
1.268 -MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
1.269 -TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
1.270 -PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
1.271 -REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1.272 -
1.273 - 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
1.274 -WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
1.275 -REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
1.276 -INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
1.277 -OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
1.278 -TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
1.279 -YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
1.280 -PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
1.281 -POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1.282 -
1.283 - END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.284 -
1.285 - How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1.286 -
1.287 - If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
1.288 -possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
1.289 -free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1.290 -
1.291 - To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
1.292 -to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
1.293 -convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
1.294 -the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
1.295 -
1.296 - <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
1.297 - Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1.298 -
1.299 - This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
1.300 - it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
1.301 - the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
1.302 - (at your option) any later version.
1.303 -
1.304 - This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
1.305 - but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
1.306 - MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
1.307 - GNU General Public License for more details.
1.308 -
1.309 - You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
1.310 - with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
1.311 - 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
1.312 -
1.313 -Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1.314 -
1.315 -If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
1.316 -when it starts in an interactive mode:
1.317 -
1.318 - Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
1.319 - Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
1.320 - This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
1.321 - under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
1.322 -
1.323 -The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
1.324 -parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
1.325 -be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
1.326 -mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
1.327 -
1.328 -You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
1.329 -school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
1.330 -necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
1.331 -
1.332 - Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1.333 - `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
1.334 -
1.335 - <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
1.336 - Ty Coon, President of Vice
1.337 -
1.338 -This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
1.339 -proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
1.340 -consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
1.341 -library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
1.342 -Public License instead of this License.
