Packit 07acd2
    of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Packit 07acd2
                          Preamble
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit 07acd2
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General
Packit 07acd2
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share
Packit 07acd2
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for
Packit 07acd2
all its users.  This General Public License applies to most of
Packit 07acd2
the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other
Packit 07acd2
program whose authors commit to using it.  (Some other Free
Packit 07acd2
Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library
Packit 07acd2
General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to your
Packit 07acd2
programs, too.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom,
Packit 07acd2
not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make
Packit 07acd2
sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free
Packit 07acd2
software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you
Packit 07acd2
receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can
Packit 07acd2
change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
Packit 07acd2
and that you know you can do these things.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that
Packit 07acd2
forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
Packit 07acd2
surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
Packit 07acd2
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
Packit 07acd2
software, or if you modify it.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
Packit 07acd2
whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all
Packit 07acd2
the rights that you have.  You must make sure that they, too,
Packit 07acd2
receive or can get the source code.  And you must show them
Packit 07acd2
these terms so they know their rights.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
Packit 07acd2
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
Packit 07acd2
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make
Packit 07acd2
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
Packit 07acd2
this free software.  If the software is modified by someone
Packit 07acd2
else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
Packit 07acd2
they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
Packit 07acd2
by others will not reflect on the original authors'
Packit 07acd2
reputations.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit 07acd2
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a
Packit 07acd2
free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in
Packit 07acd2
effect making the program proprietary.  To prevent this, we
Packit 07acd2
have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
Packit 07acd2
everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit 07acd2
modification follow.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
                 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit 07acd2
              TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
Packit 07acd2
                DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which
Packit 07acd2
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
Packit 07acd2
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
Packit 07acd2
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a
Packit 07acd2
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
Packit 07acd2
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
Packit 07acd2
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
Packit 07acd2
with modifications and/or translated into another language.
Packit 07acd2
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
Packit 07acd2
term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification
Packit 07acd2
are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope.
Packit 07acd2
The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the
Packit 07acd2
output from the Program is covered only if its contents
Packit 07acd2
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having
Packit 07acd2
been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends
Packit 07acd2
on what the Program does.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the
Packit 07acd2
Program's source code as you receive it, in any medium,
Packit 07acd2
provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on
Packit 07acd2
each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of
Packit 07acd2
warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
Packit 07acd2
License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
Packit 07acd2
recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the
Packit 07acd2
Program.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
Packit 07acd2
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
Packit 07acd2
exchange for a fee.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
Packit 07acd2
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
Packit 07acd2
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms
Packit 07acd2
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these
Packit 07acd2
conditions:
Packit 07acd2
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
Packit 07acd2
notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
Packit 07acd2
change.
Packit 07acd2
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
Packit 07acd2
that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the
Packit 07acd2
Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no
Packit 07acd2
charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
Packit 07acd2
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands
Packit 07acd2
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running
Packit 07acd2
for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or
Packit 07acd2
display an announcement including an appropriate copyright
Packit 07acd2
notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
Packit 07acd2
that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
Packit 07acd2
the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to
Packit 07acd2
view a copy of this License.  (Exception: if the Program itself
Packit 07acd2
is interactive but does not normally print such an
Packit 07acd2
announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to
Packit 07acd2
print an announcement.)
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Packit 07acd2
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Packit 07acd2
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
Packit 07acd2
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
Packit 07acd2
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
Packit 07acd2
separate works.  But when you distribute the same sections as
Packit 07acd2
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
Packit 07acd2
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
Packit 07acd2
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
Packit 07acd2
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
Packit 07acd2
it.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
Packit 07acd2
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
Packit 07acd2
the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution
Packit 07acd2
of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
Packit 07acd2
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)
Packit 07acd2
on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
Packit 07acd2
the other work under the scope of this License.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on
Packit 07acd2
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under
Packit 07acd2
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do
Packit 07acd2
one of the following:
Packit 07acd2
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding
Packit 07acd2
machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under
Packit 07acd2
the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily
Packit 07acd2
used for software interchange;
Packit 07acd2
or,
Packit 07acd2
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least
Packit 07acd2
three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than
Packit 07acd2
your cost of physically performing source distribution, a
Packit 07acd2
complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source
Packit 07acd2
code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
Packit 07acd2
above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
Packit 07acd2
or,
Packit 07acd2
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the
Packit 07acd2
offer to distribute corresponding source code.  (This
Packit 07acd2
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and
Packit 07acd2
only if you received the program in object code or executable
Packit 07acd2
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  The source code for a work means the preferred form of the
Packit 07acd2
work for making modifications to it.  For an executable work,
Packit 07acd2
complete source code means all the source code for all modules
Packit 07acd2
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,
Packit 07acd2
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
Packit 07acd2
of the executable.  However, as a special exception, the source
Packit 07acd2
code distributed need not include anything that is normally
Packit 07acd2
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
Packit 07acd2
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating
Packit 07acd2
system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Packit 07acd2
itself accompanies the executable.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  If distribution of executable or object code is made by
Packit 07acd2
offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering
Packit 07acd2
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
Packit 07acd2
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
Packit 07acd2
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
Packit 07acd2
object code.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Packit 07acd2
Program except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
Packit 07acd2
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Packit 07acd2
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
Packit 07acd2
under this License. However, parties who have received copies,
Packit 07acd2
or rights, from you under this License will not have their
Packit 07acd2
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
Packit 07acd2
compliance.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have
Packit 07acd2
not signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to
Packit 07acd2
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works.
Packit 07acd2
These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this
Packit 07acd2
License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program
Packit 07acd2
(or any work based on the Program), you indicate your
Packit 07acd2
acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and
Packit 07acd2
conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program
Packit 07acd2
or works based on it.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
Packit 07acd2
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
Packit 07acd2
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Packit 07acd2
Program subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not
Packit 07acd2
impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of
Packit 07acd2
the rights granted herein.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
Packit 07acd2
parties to this License.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of
Packit 07acd2
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to
Packit 07acd2
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court
Packit 07acd2
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions
Packit 07acd2
of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of
Packit 07acd2
this License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
Packit 07acd2
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any
Packit 07acd2
other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
Packit 07acd2
distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Packit 07acd2
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Packit 07acd2
Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
Packit 07acd2
through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and
Packit 07acd2
this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of
Packit 07acd2
the Program.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  If any portion of this section is held invalid or
Packit 07acd2
unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of
Packit 07acd2
the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is
Packit 07acd2
intended to apply in other circumstances.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
Packit 07acd2
infringe any patents or other property right claims or to
Packit 07acd2
contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole
Packit 07acd2
purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
Packit 07acd2
distribution system, which is implemented by public license
Packit 07acd2
practices.  Many people have made generous contributions to the
Packit 07acd2
wide range of software distributed through that system in
Packit 07acd2
reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to
Packit 07acd2
the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
Packit 07acd2
distribute software through any other system and a licensee
Packit 07acd2
cannot impose that choice.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
Packit 07acd2
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted
Packit 07acd2
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted
Packit 07acd2
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the
Packit 07acd2
Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
Packit 07acd2
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
Packit 07acd2
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
Packit 07acd2
excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the
Packit 07acd2
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
Packit 07acd2
versions of the General Public License from time to time.  Such
Packit 07acd2
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
Packit 07acd2
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
Packit 07acd2
Program specifies a version number of this License which
Packit 07acd2
applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of
Packit 07acd2
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
Packit 07acd2
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
Packit 07acd2
If the Program does not specify a version number of this
Packit 07acd2
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Packit 07acd2
Software Foundation.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other
Packit 07acd2
free programs whose distribution conditions are different,
Packit 07acd2
write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which
Packit 07acd2
is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Packit 07acd2
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
Packit 07acd2
this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
Packit 07acd2
preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free
Packit 07acd2
software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
Packit 07acd2
generally.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
                       NO WARRANTY
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS
Packit 07acd2
NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
Packit 07acd2
APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
Packit 07acd2
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS
Packit 07acd2
IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
Packit 07acd2
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit 07acd2
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE
Packit 07acd2
ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS
Packit 07acd2
WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE
Packit 07acd2
COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO
Packit 07acd2
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO
Packit 07acd2
MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE,
Packit 07acd2
BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
Packit 07acd2
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
Packit 07acd2
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS
Packit 07acd2
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED
Packit 07acd2
BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
Packit 07acd2
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY
Packit 07acd2
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
                  END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the
Packit 07acd2
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve
Packit 07acd2
this is to make it free software which everyone can
Packit 07acd2
redistribute and change under these terms.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is
Packit 07acd2
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most
Packit 07acd2
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file
Packit 07acd2
should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
Packit 07acd2
where the full notice is found.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
    
Packit 07acd2
what it does.>

Packit 07acd2
  Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and
Packit 07acd2
paper mail.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice
Packit 07acd2
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author

Packit 07acd2
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
Packit 07acd2
type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome 
Packit 07acd2
toredistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for 
Packit 07acd2
details.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show
Packit 07acd2
the appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of
Packit 07acd2
course, the commands you use may be called something other than
Packit 07acd2
`show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu
Packit 07acd2
items--whatever suits your program.
Packit 07acd2

Packit 07acd2
  You should also get your employer (if you work as a
Packit 07acd2
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright
Packit 07acd2
disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.  Here is a sample;
Packit 07acd2
alter the names:

Packit 07acd2
  This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
Packit 07acd2
program into proprietary programs.  If your program is a
Packit 07acd2
subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit
Packit 07acd2
linking proprietary applications with the library.  If this is
Packit 07acd2
what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License
Packit 07acd2
instead of this License.
