Packit dd4ba5
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
Packit dd4ba5
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
                            Preamble
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
Packit dd4ba5
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
Packit dd4ba5
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit dd4ba5
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
Packit dd4ba5
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Packit dd4ba5
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
Packit dd4ba5
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
Packit dd4ba5
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
Packit dd4ba5
your programs, too.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit dd4ba5
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
Packit dd4ba5
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
Packit dd4ba5
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
Packit dd4ba5
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
Packit dd4ba5
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit dd4ba5
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit dd4ba5
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit dd4ba5
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
Packit dd4ba5
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit dd4ba5
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit dd4ba5
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
Packit dd4ba5
rights.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit dd4ba5
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit dd4ba5
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit dd4ba5
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit dd4ba5
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit dd4ba5
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit dd4ba5
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit dd4ba5
authors' reputations.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
Packit dd4ba5
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
Packit dd4ba5
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
Packit dd4ba5
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
Packit dd4ba5
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit dd4ba5
modification follow.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit dd4ba5
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
Packit dd4ba5
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
Packit dd4ba5
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
Packit dd4ba5
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
Packit dd4ba5
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
Packit dd4ba5
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
Packit dd4ba5
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
Packit dd4ba5
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
Packit dd4ba5
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
Packit dd4ba5
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
Packit dd4ba5
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
Packit dd4ba5
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Packit dd4ba5
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Packit dd4ba5
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
Packit dd4ba5
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
Packit dd4ba5
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
Packit dd4ba5
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
Packit dd4ba5
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
Packit dd4ba5
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
Packit dd4ba5
along with the Program.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
Packit dd4ba5
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
Packit dd4ba5
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
Packit dd4ba5
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
Packit dd4ba5
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
Packit dd4ba5
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
Packit dd4ba5
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
Packit dd4ba5
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
Packit dd4ba5
    parties under the terms of this License.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
Packit dd4ba5
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
Packit dd4ba5
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
Packit dd4ba5
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
Packit dd4ba5
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
Packit dd4ba5
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
Packit dd4ba5
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
Packit dd4ba5
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
Packit dd4ba5
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
Packit dd4ba5
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
Packit dd4ba5
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
Packit dd4ba5
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
Packit dd4ba5
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
Packit dd4ba5
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
Packit dd4ba5
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
Packit dd4ba5
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
Packit dd4ba5
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
Packit dd4ba5
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
Packit dd4ba5
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
Packit dd4ba5
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
Packit dd4ba5
collective works based on the Program.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
Packit dd4ba5
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
Packit dd4ba5
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
Packit dd4ba5
the scope of this License.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
Packit dd4ba5
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit dd4ba5
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit dd4ba5
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
Packit dd4ba5
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit dd4ba5
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
Packit dd4ba5
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
Packit dd4ba5
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
Packit dd4ba5
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
Packit dd4ba5
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
Packit dd4ba5
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
Packit dd4ba5
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit dd4ba5
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
Packit dd4ba5
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
Packit dd4ba5
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
Packit dd4ba5
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
Packit dd4ba5
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
Packit dd4ba5
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
Packit dd4ba5
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
Packit dd4ba5
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
Packit dd4ba5
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
Packit dd4ba5
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
Packit dd4ba5
itself accompanies the executable.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
Packit dd4ba5
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
Packit dd4ba5
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
Packit dd4ba5
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
Packit dd4ba5
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
Packit dd4ba5
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
Packit dd4ba5
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
Packit dd4ba5
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
Packit dd4ba5
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
Packit dd4ba5
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
Packit dd4ba5
parties remain in full compliance.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
Packit dd4ba5
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
Packit dd4ba5
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
Packit dd4ba5
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
Packit dd4ba5
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Packit dd4ba5
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
Packit dd4ba5
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
Packit dd4ba5
the Program or works based on it.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit dd4ba5
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
Packit dd4ba5
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
Packit dd4ba5
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
Packit dd4ba5
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit dd4ba5
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
Packit dd4ba5
this License.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
Packit dd4ba5
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
Packit dd4ba5
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
Packit dd4ba5
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
Packit dd4ba5
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
Packit dd4ba5
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
Packit dd4ba5
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
Packit dd4ba5
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
Packit dd4ba5
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
Packit dd4ba5
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
Packit dd4ba5
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
Packit dd4ba5
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
Packit dd4ba5
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
Packit dd4ba5
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
Packit dd4ba5
circumstances.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
Packit dd4ba5
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
Packit dd4ba5
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
Packit dd4ba5
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
Packit dd4ba5
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
Packit dd4ba5
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
Packit dd4ba5
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
Packit dd4ba5
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
Packit dd4ba5
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
Packit dd4ba5
impose that choice.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
Packit dd4ba5
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
Packit dd4ba5
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
Packit dd4ba5
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
Packit dd4ba5
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
Packit dd4ba5
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
Packit dd4ba5
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
Packit dd4ba5
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit dd4ba5
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit dd4ba5
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit dd4ba5
address new problems or concerns.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit dd4ba5
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
Packit dd4ba5
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit dd4ba5
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit dd4ba5
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit dd4ba5
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit dd4ba5
Foundation.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit dd4ba5
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit dd4ba5
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit dd4ba5
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit dd4ba5
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit dd4ba5
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit dd4ba5
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit dd4ba5
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit dd4ba5
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit dd4ba5
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit dd4ba5
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit dd4ba5
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit dd4ba5
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit dd4ba5
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit dd4ba5
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit dd4ba5
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit dd4ba5
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit dd4ba5
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit dd4ba5
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit dd4ba5
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit dd4ba5
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit dd4ba5
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit dd4ba5
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit dd4ba5
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit dd4ba5
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
Packit dd4ba5
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
Packit dd4ba5
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
Packit dd4ba5
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit dd4ba5
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

Packit dd4ba5
    (at your option) any later version.
Packit dd4ba5

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit dd4ba5
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit dd4ba5
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit dd4ba5
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
Packit dd4ba5
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
Packit dd4ba5
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit dd4ba5
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
Packit dd4ba5
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit dd4ba5
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit dd4ba5
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
Packit dd4ba5
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
Packit dd4ba5
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
Packit dd4ba5
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit dd4ba5
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit dd4ba5
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
Packit dd4ba5
Packit dd4ba5
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
Packit dd4ba5
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

Packit dd4ba5
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
Packit dd4ba5
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
Packit dd4ba5
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
Packit dd4ba5
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Packit dd4ba5
Public License instead of this License.
Packit dd4ba5
