Version 2, June 1991
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
Packit 01d647

Packit 01d647 
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit 01d647 
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
Preamble
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit 01d647 
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Packit 01d647 
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit 01d647 
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Packit 01d647 
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Packit 01d647 
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Packit 01d647 
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Packit 01d647 
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Packit 01d647 
your programs, too.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit 01d647 
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Packit 01d647 
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Packit 01d647 
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Packit 01d647 
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Packit 01d647 
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit 01d647 
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit 01d647 
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit 01d647 
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Packit 01d647 
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit 01d647 
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit 01d647 
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Packit 01d647 
rights.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit 01d647 
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit 01d647 
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit 01d647 
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit 01d647 
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit 01d647 
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit 01d647 
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit 01d647 
authors' reputations.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit 01d647 
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Packit 01d647 
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Packit 01d647 
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Packit 01d647 
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit 01d647 
modification follow.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
GNU General Public License
Packit 01d647 
Terms And Conditions For Copying, Distribution And Modification
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Packit 01d647 
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Packit 01d647 
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Packit 01d647 
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Packit 01d647 
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Packit 01d647 
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Packit 01d647 
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Packit 01d647 
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Packit 01d647 
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Packit 01d647 
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Packit 01d647 
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Packit 01d647 
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Packit 01d647 
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Packit 01d647 
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Packit 01d647 
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Packit 01d647 
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Packit 01d647 
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Packit 01d647 
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Packit 01d647 
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Packit 01d647 
along with the Program.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Packit 01d647 
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647 
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Packit 01d647 
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Packit 01d647 
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Packit 01d647 
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
  1. Packit 01d647 
    You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    Packit 01d647 
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
  2. Packit 01d647 
    You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    Packit 01d647 
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    Packit 01d647 
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    Packit 01d647 
    parties under the terms of this License.
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
  3. Packit 01d647 
    If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    Packit 01d647 
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    Packit 01d647 
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    Packit 01d647 
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    Packit 01d647 
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    Packit 01d647 
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    Packit 01d647 
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    Packit 01d647 
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    Packit 01d647 
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    Packit 01d647 
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647 
    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
    Packit 01d647 
    identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
    Packit 01d647 
    and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
    Packit 01d647 
    themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
    Packit 01d647 
    sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
    Packit 01d647 
    distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
    Packit 01d647 
    on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
    Packit 01d647 
    this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
    Packit 01d647 
    entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647 
    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
    Packit 01d647 
    your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
    Packit 01d647 
    exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
    Packit 01d647 
    collective works based on the Program.
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647 
    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
    Packit 01d647 
    with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
    Packit 01d647 
    a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
    Packit 01d647 
    the scope of this License.
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647 
    3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
    Packit 01d647 
    under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
    Packit 01d647 
    Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
    Packit 01d647
    Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
    1. Packit 01d647 
      Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
      Packit 01d647 
      source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
      Packit 01d647 
      1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
    2. Packit 01d647 
      Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
      Packit 01d647 
      years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
      Packit 01d647 
      cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
      Packit 01d647 
      machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
      Packit 01d647 
      distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
      Packit 01d647 
      customarily used for software interchange; or,
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
    3. Packit 01d647 
      Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
      Packit 01d647 
      to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
      Packit 01d647 
      allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
      Packit 01d647 
      received the program in object code or executable form with such
      Packit 01d647 
      an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
      Packit 01d647 
      making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
      Packit 01d647 
      code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
      Packit 01d647 
      associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
      Packit 01d647 
      control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
      Packit 01d647 
      special exception, the source code distributed need not include
      Packit 01d647 
      anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
      Packit 01d647 
      form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
      Packit 01d647 
      operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
      Packit 01d647 
      itself accompanies the executable.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
      Packit 01d647 
      access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
      Packit 01d647 
      access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
      Packit 01d647 
      distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
      Packit 01d647 
      compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
      Packit 01d647 
      except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
      Packit 01d647 
      otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
      Packit 01d647 
      void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
      Packit 01d647 
      However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
      Packit 01d647 
      this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
      Packit 01d647 
      parties remain in full compliance.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
      Packit 01d647 
      signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
      Packit 01d647 
      distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
      Packit 01d647 
      prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
      Packit 01d647 
      modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
      Packit 01d647 
      Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
      Packit 01d647 
      all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
      Packit 01d647 
      the Program or works based on it.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
      Packit 01d647 
      Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
      Packit 01d647 
      original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
      Packit 01d647 
      these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
      Packit 01d647 
      restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
      Packit 01d647 
      You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
      Packit 01d647 
      this License.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
      Packit 01d647 
      infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
      Packit 01d647 
      conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
      Packit 01d647 
      otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
      Packit 01d647 
      excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
      Packit 01d647 
      distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
      Packit 01d647 
      License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
      Packit 01d647 
      may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
      Packit 01d647 
      license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
      Packit 01d647 
      all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
      Packit 01d647 
      the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
      Packit 01d647 
      refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
      Packit 01d647 
      any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
      Packit 01d647 
      apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
      Packit 01d647 
      circumstances.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
      Packit 01d647 
      patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
      Packit 01d647 
      such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
      Packit 01d647 
      integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
      Packit 01d647 
      implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
      Packit 01d647 
      generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
      Packit 01d647 
      through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
      Packit 01d647 
      system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
      Packit 01d647 
      to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
      Packit 01d647 
      impose that choice.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
      Packit 01d647 
      be a consequence of the rest of this License.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
      Packit 01d647 
      certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
      Packit 01d647 
      original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
      Packit 01d647 
      may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
      Packit 01d647 
      those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
      Packit 01d647 
      countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
      Packit 01d647 
      the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
      Packit 01d647 
      of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
      Packit 01d647 
      be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
      Packit 01d647 
      address new problems or concerns.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
      Packit 01d647 
      specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
      Packit 01d647 
      later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
      Packit 01d647 
      either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
      Packit 01d647 
      Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
      Packit 01d647 
      this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
      Packit 01d647 
      Foundation.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
      Packit 01d647

      TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY

      How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
      Packit 01d647 
      possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
      Packit 01d647 
      free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
      Packit 01d647 
      terms.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is
      Packit 01d647 
      safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
      Packit 01d647 
      effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should
      Packit 01d647 
      have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full
      Packit 01d647 
      notice is found.

          You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
      Packit 01d647 
          along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
      Packit 01d647 
      mail.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
      Packit 01d647 
      when it starts in an interactive mode:
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
          Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
      Packit 01d647 
          Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
      Packit 01d647 
          This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
      Packit 01d647 
          under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      The hypothetical commands "show w" and "show c" should show the appropriate
      Packit 01d647 
      parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
      Packit 01d647 
      be called something other than "show w" and "show c"; they could even be
      Packit 01d647 
      mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
      Packit 01d647
      Packit 01d647 
      You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
      Packit 01d647 
      school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
      Packit 01d647 
      necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

      This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
      Packit 01d647 
      proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
      Packit 01d647 
      consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

      library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
