 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit d4ea60
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
			    Preamble
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit d4ea60
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Packit d4ea60
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit d4ea60
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Packit d4ea60
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Packit d4ea60
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Packit d4ea60
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Packit d4ea60
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Packit d4ea60
your programs, too.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit d4ea60
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Packit d4ea60
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Packit d4ea60
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Packit d4ea60
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Packit d4ea60
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit d4ea60
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit d4ea60
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit d4ea60
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Packit d4ea60
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit d4ea60
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit d4ea60
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Packit d4ea60
rights.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit d4ea60
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit d4ea60
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit d4ea60
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit d4ea60
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit d4ea60
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit d4ea60
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit d4ea60
authors' reputations.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit d4ea60
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Packit d4ea60
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Packit d4ea60
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Packit d4ea60
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit d4ea60
modification follow.
Packit d4ea60

Packit d4ea60
		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit d4ea60
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Packit d4ea60
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Packit d4ea60
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Packit d4ea60
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Packit d4ea60
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Packit d4ea60
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Packit d4ea60
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Packit d4ea60
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Packit d4ea60
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Packit d4ea60
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Packit d4ea60
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Packit d4ea60
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Packit d4ea60
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Packit d4ea60
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Packit d4ea60
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Packit d4ea60
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Packit d4ea60
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Packit d4ea60
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Packit d4ea60
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Packit d4ea60
along with the Program.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Packit d4ea60
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Packit d4ea60
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Packit d4ea60
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Packit d4ea60
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
Packit d4ea60
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
Packit d4ea60
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
Packit d4ea60
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
Packit d4ea60
    parties under the terms of this License.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
Packit d4ea60
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
Packit d4ea60
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
Packit d4ea60
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
Packit d4ea60
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
Packit d4ea60
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
Packit d4ea60
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
Packit d4ea60
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
Packit d4ea60
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
Packit d4ea60
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
Packit d4ea60

Packit d4ea60
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Packit d4ea60
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
Packit d4ea60
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
Packit d4ea60
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
Packit d4ea60
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
Packit d4ea60
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
Packit d4ea60
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
Packit d4ea60
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
Packit d4ea60
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
Packit d4ea60
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
Packit d4ea60
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
Packit d4ea60
collective works based on the Program.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
Packit d4ea60
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
Packit d4ea60
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
Packit d4ea60
the scope of this License.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
Packit d4ea60
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit d4ea60
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit d4ea60
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
Packit d4ea60
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit d4ea60
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
Packit d4ea60
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
Packit d4ea60
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
Packit d4ea60
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
Packit d4ea60
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
Packit d4ea60
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
Packit d4ea60
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit d4ea60
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
Packit d4ea60
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
Packit d4ea60
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
Packit d4ea60
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
Packit d4ea60
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
Packit d4ea60
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
Packit d4ea60
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
Packit d4ea60
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
Packit d4ea60
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Packit d4ea60
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Packit d4ea60
itself accompanies the executable.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
Packit d4ea60
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
Packit d4ea60
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
Packit d4ea60
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
Packit d4ea60
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Packit d4ea60

Packit d4ea60
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
Packit d4ea60
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
Packit d4ea60
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
Packit d4ea60
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
Packit d4ea60
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
Packit d4ea60
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
Packit d4ea60
parties remain in full compliance.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
Packit d4ea60
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
Packit d4ea60
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
Packit d4ea60
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
Packit d4ea60
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Packit d4ea60
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
Packit d4ea60
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
Packit d4ea60
the Program or works based on it.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit d4ea60
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
Packit d4ea60
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
Packit d4ea60
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
Packit d4ea60
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit d4ea60
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
Packit d4ea60
this License.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
Packit d4ea60
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
Packit d4ea60
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
Packit d4ea60
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
Packit d4ea60
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
Packit d4ea60
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
Packit d4ea60
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
Packit d4ea60
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Packit d4ea60
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Packit d4ea60
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
Packit d4ea60
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
Packit d4ea60
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
Packit d4ea60
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
Packit d4ea60
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
Packit d4ea60
circumstances.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
Packit d4ea60
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
Packit d4ea60
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
Packit d4ea60
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
Packit d4ea60
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
Packit d4ea60
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
Packit d4ea60
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
Packit d4ea60
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
Packit d4ea60
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
Packit d4ea60
impose that choice.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
Packit d4ea60
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Packit d4ea60

Packit d4ea60
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
Packit d4ea60
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
Packit d4ea60
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
Packit d4ea60
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
Packit d4ea60
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
Packit d4ea60
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
Packit d4ea60
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit d4ea60
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit d4ea60
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit d4ea60
address new problems or concerns.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit d4ea60
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
Packit d4ea60
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit d4ea60
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit d4ea60
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit d4ea60
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit d4ea60
Foundation.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit d4ea60
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit d4ea60
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit d4ea60
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit d4ea60
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit d4ea60
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit d4ea60
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
			    NO WARRANTY
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit d4ea60
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit d4ea60
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit d4ea60
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit d4ea60
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit d4ea60
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit d4ea60
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit d4ea60
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit d4ea60
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit d4ea60
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit d4ea60
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit d4ea60
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit d4ea60
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit d4ea60
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit d4ea60
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit d4ea60
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit d4ea60
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit d4ea60

Packit d4ea60
	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit d4ea60
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit d4ea60
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Packit d4ea60
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Packit d4ea60
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Packit d4ea60
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit d4ea60
    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit d4ea60
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit d4ea60
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
Packit d4ea60
    (at your option) any later version.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit d4ea60
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit d4ea60
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit d4ea60
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
Packit d4ea60
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Packit d4ea60
    Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit d4ea60
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
Packit d4ea60
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit d4ea60
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit d4ea60
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
Packit d4ea60
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
Packit d4ea60
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
Packit d4ea60
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit d4ea60
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit d4ea60
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
Packit d4ea60
Packit d4ea60
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
Packit d4ea60
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Packit d4ea60
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
Packit d4ea60
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
Packit d4ea60
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
Packit d4ea60
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Packit d4ea60
Public License instead of this License.
