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

                            Preamble
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
Packit bd23c0
at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
Packit bd23c0
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
Packit bd23c0
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
Packit bd23c0
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
Packit bd23c0
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
Packit bd23c0
You can use it for your programs, too.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
Packit bd23c0
price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
Packit bd23c0
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
Packit bd23c0
software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
Packit bd23c0
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
Packit bd23c0
programs; and that you know you can do these things.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
Packit bd23c0
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
Packit bd23c0
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
Packit bd23c0
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
Packit bd23c0
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
Packit bd23c0
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
Packit bd23c0
source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
Packit bd23c0
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
Packit bd23c0
distribute and/or modify the software.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
Packit bd23c0
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
Packit bd23c0
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
Packit bd23c0
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
Packit bd23c0
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
Packit bd23c0
authors' reputations.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
Packit bd23c0
modification follow.

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Packit bd23c0
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
Packit bd23c0
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
Packit bd23c0
distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
Packit bd23c0
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
Packit bd23c0
on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
Packit bd23c0
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
Packit bd23c0
licensee is addressed as "you".
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
Packit bd23c0
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
Packit bd23c0
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
Packit bd23c0
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
Packit bd23c0
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
Packit bd23c0
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
Packit bd23c0
along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
Packit bd23c0
transferring a copy.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
Packit bd23c0
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
Packit bd23c0
1 above, provided that you also do the following:
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
Packit bd23c0
    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
Packit bd23c0
    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
Packit bd23c0
    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
Packit bd23c0
    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
Packit bd23c0
    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
Packit bd23c0
    third parties, at your option).
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
Packit bd23c0
    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
Packit bd23c0
    in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
Packit bd23c0
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
Packit bd23c0
    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
Packit bd23c0
    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
Packit bd23c0
    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
Packit bd23c0
    Public License.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
Packit bd23c0
    copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
Packit bd23c0
    exchange for a fee.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
Packit bd23c0
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
Packit bd23c0
the other work under the scope of these terms.
Packit bd23c0

Packit bd23c0
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
Packit bd23c0
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Packit bd23c0
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
Packit bd23c0
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Packit bd23c0
    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
Packit bd23c0
    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
Packit bd23c0
    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
Packit bd23c0
    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
Packit bd23c0
    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
Packit bd23c0
    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
Packit bd23c0
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
Packit bd23c0
    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
Packit bd23c0
modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
Packit bd23c0
all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
Packit bd23c0
exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
Packit bd23c0
libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
Packit bd23c0
file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
Packit bd23c0
accompany that operating system.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
Packit bd23c0
Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
Packit bd23c0
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
Packit bd23c0
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
Packit bd23c0
the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
Packit bd23c0
copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
Packit bd23c0
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
Packit bd23c0
remain in full compliance.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
Packit bd23c0
on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
Packit bd23c0
and all its terms and conditions.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Packit bd23c0
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
Packit bd23c0
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
Packit bd23c0
terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
Packit bd23c0
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
Packit bd23c0

Packit bd23c0
  7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
Packit bd23c0
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
Packit bd23c0
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
Packit bd23c0
address new problems or concerns.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
Packit bd23c0
specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
Packit bd23c0
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
Packit bd23c0
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Packit bd23c0
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
Packit bd23c0
the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Packit bd23c0
Foundation.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
Packit bd23c0
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
Packit bd23c0
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Packit bd23c0
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
Packit bd23c0
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
Packit bd23c0
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
Packit bd23c0
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
                            NO WARRANTY
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
Packit bd23c0
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
Packit bd23c0
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
Packit bd23c0
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
Packit bd23c0
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
Packit bd23c0
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
Packit bd23c0
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
Packit bd23c0
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
Packit bd23c0
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
Packit bd23c0
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
Packit bd23c0
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
Packit bd23c0
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
Packit bd23c0
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
Packit bd23c0
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
Packit bd23c0
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
Packit bd23c0
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
Packit bd23c0
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Packit bd23c0

Packit bd23c0
        Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
Packit bd23c0
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
Packit bd23c0
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
Packit bd23c0
terms.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
Packit bd23c0
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
Packit bd23c0
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
Packit bd23c0
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
Packit bd23c0

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
Packit bd23c0
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
Packit bd23c0
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
Packit bd23c0
    any later version.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
Packit bd23c0
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
Packit bd23c0
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
Packit bd23c0
    GNU General Public License for more details.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
Packit bd23c0
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Packit bd23c0
    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA  02110-1301 USA
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
Packit bd23c0
when it starts in an interactive mode:
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
Packit bd23c0
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
Packit bd23c0
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
Packit bd23c0
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
Packit bd23c0
appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
Packit bd23c0
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
Packit bd23c0
c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
Packit bd23c0
program.
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
Packit bd23c0
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
Packit bd23c0
necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
Packit bd23c0
Packit bd23c0
  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
Packit bd23c0
  program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
Packit bd23c0
  at assemblers) written by James Hacker.
