Packit f4e7bf
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit f4e7bf
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
                            Preamble
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit f4e7bf
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Packit f4e7bf
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit f4e7bf
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Packit f4e7bf
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Packit f4e7bf
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Packit f4e7bf
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Packit f4e7bf
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Packit f4e7bf
your programs, too.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit f4e7bf
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Packit f4e7bf
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Packit f4e7bf
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Packit f4e7bf
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Packit f4e7bf
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit f4e7bf
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit f4e7bf
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit f4e7bf
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Packit f4e7bf
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit f4e7bf
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit f4e7bf
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Packit f4e7bf
rights.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit f4e7bf
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit f4e7bf
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit f4e7bf
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit f4e7bf
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit f4e7bf
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit f4e7bf
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit f4e7bf
authors' reputations.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit f4e7bf
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Packit f4e7bf
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Packit f4e7bf
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Packit f4e7bf
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit f4e7bf
modification follow.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit f4e7bf
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Packit f4e7bf
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Packit f4e7bf
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Packit f4e7bf
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Packit f4e7bf
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Packit f4e7bf
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Packit f4e7bf
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Packit f4e7bf
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Packit f4e7bf
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Packit f4e7bf
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Packit f4e7bf
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Packit f4e7bf
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Packit f4e7bf
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Packit f4e7bf
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Packit f4e7bf
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Packit f4e7bf
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Packit f4e7bf
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Packit f4e7bf
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Packit f4e7bf
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Packit f4e7bf
along with the Program.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Packit f4e7bf
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Packit f4e7bf
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Packit f4e7bf
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Packit f4e7bf
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
Packit f4e7bf
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
Packit f4e7bf
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
Packit f4e7bf
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
Packit f4e7bf
    parties under the terms of this License.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
Packit f4e7bf
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
Packit f4e7bf
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
Packit f4e7bf
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
Packit f4e7bf
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
Packit f4e7bf
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
Packit f4e7bf
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
Packit f4e7bf
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
Packit f4e7bf
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
Packit f4e7bf
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Packit f4e7bf
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
Packit f4e7bf
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
Packit f4e7bf
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
Packit f4e7bf
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
Packit f4e7bf
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
Packit f4e7bf
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
Packit f4e7bf
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
Packit f4e7bf
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
Packit f4e7bf
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
Packit f4e7bf
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
Packit f4e7bf
collective works based on the Program.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
Packit f4e7bf
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
Packit f4e7bf
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
Packit f4e7bf
the scope of this License.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
Packit f4e7bf
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit f4e7bf
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit f4e7bf
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
Packit f4e7bf
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit f4e7bf
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
Packit f4e7bf
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
Packit f4e7bf
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
Packit f4e7bf
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
Packit f4e7bf
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
Packit f4e7bf
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
Packit f4e7bf
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit f4e7bf
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
Packit f4e7bf
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
Packit f4e7bf
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
Packit f4e7bf
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
Packit f4e7bf
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
Packit f4e7bf
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
Packit f4e7bf
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
Packit f4e7bf
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
Packit f4e7bf
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Packit f4e7bf
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Packit f4e7bf
itself accompanies the executable.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
Packit f4e7bf
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
Packit f4e7bf
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
Packit f4e7bf
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
Packit f4e7bf
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
Packit f4e7bf
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
Packit f4e7bf
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
Packit f4e7bf
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
Packit f4e7bf
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
Packit f4e7bf
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
Packit f4e7bf
parties remain in full compliance.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
Packit f4e7bf
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
Packit f4e7bf
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
Packit f4e7bf
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
Packit f4e7bf
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Packit f4e7bf
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
Packit f4e7bf
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
Packit f4e7bf
the Program or works based on it.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit f4e7bf
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
Packit f4e7bf
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
Packit f4e7bf
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
Packit f4e7bf
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit f4e7bf
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
Packit f4e7bf
this License.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
Packit f4e7bf
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
Packit f4e7bf
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
Packit f4e7bf
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
Packit f4e7bf
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
Packit f4e7bf
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
Packit f4e7bf
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
Packit f4e7bf
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Packit f4e7bf
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Packit f4e7bf
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
Packit f4e7bf
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
Packit f4e7bf
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
Packit f4e7bf
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
Packit f4e7bf
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
Packit f4e7bf
circumstances.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
Packit f4e7bf
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
Packit f4e7bf
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
Packit f4e7bf
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
Packit f4e7bf
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
Packit f4e7bf
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
Packit f4e7bf
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
Packit f4e7bf
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
Packit f4e7bf
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
Packit f4e7bf
impose that choice.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
Packit f4e7bf
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
Packit f4e7bf
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
Packit f4e7bf
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
Packit f4e7bf
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
Packit f4e7bf
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
Packit f4e7bf
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
Packit f4e7bf
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit f4e7bf
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit f4e7bf
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit f4e7bf
address new problems or concerns.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit f4e7bf
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
Packit f4e7bf
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit f4e7bf
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit f4e7bf
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit f4e7bf
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit f4e7bf
Foundation.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit f4e7bf
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit f4e7bf
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit f4e7bf
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit f4e7bf
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit f4e7bf
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit f4e7bf
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit f4e7bf
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit f4e7bf
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit f4e7bf
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit f4e7bf
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit f4e7bf
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit f4e7bf
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit f4e7bf
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit f4e7bf
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit f4e7bf
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit f4e7bf
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit f4e7bf
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit f4e7bf
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit f4e7bf
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit f4e7bf
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit f4e7bf
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit f4e7bf
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit f4e7bf
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit f4e7bf
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Packit f4e7bf
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Packit f4e7bf
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Packit f4e7bf
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit f4e7bf
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit f4e7bf
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit f4e7bf
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
Packit f4e7bf
    (at your option) any later version.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit f4e7bf
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit f4e7bf
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit f4e7bf
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
Packit f4e7bf
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
Packit f4e7bf
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit f4e7bf
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Packit f4e7bf
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit f4e7bf
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit f4e7bf
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
Packit f4e7bf
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
Packit f4e7bf
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
Packit f4e7bf
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit f4e7bf
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit f4e7bf
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
Packit f4e7bf
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Packit f4e7bf
Packit f4e7bf
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
Packit f4e7bf
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
Packit f4e7bf
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
Packit f4e7bf
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Packit f4e7bf
Public License instead of this License.
