 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit a55458
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Packit a55458
                            Preamble
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit a55458
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Packit a55458
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit a55458
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Packit a55458
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Packit a55458
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Packit a55458
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Packit a55458
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Packit a55458
your programs, too.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit a55458
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Packit a55458
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Packit a55458
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Packit a55458
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Packit a55458
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit a55458
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit a55458
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit a55458
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Packit a55458
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit a55458
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit a55458
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Packit a55458
rights.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit a55458
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit a55458
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit a55458
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit a55458
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit a55458
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit a55458
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit a55458
authors' reputations.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit a55458
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Packit a55458
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Packit a55458
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Packit a55458
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit a55458
modification follow.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit a55458
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Packit a55458
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Packit a55458
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Packit a55458
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Packit a55458
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Packit a55458
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Packit a55458
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Packit a55458
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Packit a55458
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Packit a55458
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Packit a55458
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Packit a55458
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Packit a55458
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Packit a55458
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Packit a55458
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Packit a55458
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Packit a55458
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Packit a55458
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Packit a55458
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Packit a55458
along with the Program.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Packit a55458
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Packit a55458
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Packit a55458
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Packit a55458
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
Packit a55458
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
Packit a55458
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
Packit a55458
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
Packit a55458
    parties under the terms of this License.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
Packit a55458
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
Packit a55458
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
Packit a55458
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
Packit a55458
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
Packit a55458
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
Packit a55458
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
Packit a55458
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
Packit a55458
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
Packit a55458
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Packit a55458
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
Packit a55458
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
Packit a55458
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
Packit a55458
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
Packit a55458
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
Packit a55458
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
Packit a55458
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
Packit a55458
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
Packit a55458
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
Packit a55458
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
Packit a55458
collective works based on the Program.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
Packit a55458
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
Packit a55458
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
Packit a55458
the scope of this License.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
Packit a55458
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit a55458
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit a55458
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
Packit a55458
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit a55458
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
Packit a55458
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
Packit a55458
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
Packit a55458
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
Packit a55458
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
Packit a55458
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
Packit a55458
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit a55458
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
Packit a55458
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
Packit a55458
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
Packit a55458
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
Packit a55458
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
Packit a55458
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
Packit a55458
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
Packit a55458
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
Packit a55458
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Packit a55458
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Packit a55458
itself accompanies the executable.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
Packit a55458
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
Packit a55458
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
Packit a55458
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
Packit a55458
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
Packit a55458
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
Packit a55458
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
Packit a55458
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
Packit a55458
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
Packit a55458
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
Packit a55458
parties remain in full compliance.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
Packit a55458
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
Packit a55458
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
Packit a55458
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
Packit a55458
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Packit a55458
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
Packit a55458
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
Packit a55458
the Program or works based on it.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit a55458
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
Packit a55458
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
Packit a55458
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
Packit a55458
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit a55458
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
Packit a55458
this License.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
Packit a55458
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
Packit a55458
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
Packit a55458
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
Packit a55458
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
Packit a55458
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
Packit a55458
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
Packit a55458
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Packit a55458
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Packit a55458
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
Packit a55458
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
Packit a55458
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
Packit a55458
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
Packit a55458
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
Packit a55458
circumstances.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
Packit a55458
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
Packit a55458
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
Packit a55458
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
Packit a55458
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
Packit a55458
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
Packit a55458
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
Packit a55458
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
Packit a55458
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
Packit a55458
impose that choice.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
Packit a55458
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
Packit a55458
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
Packit a55458
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
Packit a55458
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
Packit a55458
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
Packit a55458
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
Packit a55458
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit a55458
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit a55458
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit a55458
address new problems or concerns.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit a55458
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
Packit a55458
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit a55458
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit a55458
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit a55458
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit a55458
Foundation.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit a55458
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit a55458
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit a55458
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit a55458
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit a55458
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit a55458
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit a55458
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit a55458
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit a55458
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit a55458
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit a55458
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit a55458
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit a55458
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit a55458
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit a55458
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit a55458
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit a55458
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit a55458
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit a55458
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit a55458
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit a55458
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit a55458
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit a55458
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit a55458
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Packit a55458
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Packit a55458
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Packit a55458
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit a55458
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit a55458
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit a55458
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
Packit a55458
    (at your option) any later version.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit a55458
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit a55458
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit a55458
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
Packit a55458
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
Packit a55458
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit a55458
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Packit a55458
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit a55458
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit a55458
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
Packit a55458
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
Packit a55458
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
Packit a55458
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit a55458
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit a55458
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
Packit a55458
Packit a55458
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
Packit a55458
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Packit a55458
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
Packit a55458
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
Packit a55458
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
Packit a55458
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Packit a55458
Public License instead of this License.
