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 Lesser 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
    a) 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
    b) 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
    c) 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
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
    a) 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
    b) 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
    c) 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
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
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit 01d647
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit 01d647
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit 01d647
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit 01d647
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit 01d647
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit 01d647
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit 01d647
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit 01d647
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit 01d647
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit 01d647
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit 01d647
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit 01d647
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit 01d647
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit 01d647
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit 01d647
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit 01d647
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit 01d647
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit 01d647
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit 01d647
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit 01d647
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit 01d647
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
            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 terms.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Packit 01d647
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Packit 01d647
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Packit 01d647
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit 01d647
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit 01d647
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit 01d647
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
Packit 01d647
    (at your option) any later version.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit 01d647
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit 01d647
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit 01d647
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
Packit 01d647
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
Packit 01d647
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Packit 01d647
Packit 01d647
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper 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) year 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:
Packit 01d647

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
Packit 01d647
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Packit 01d647
Public License instead of this License.
