30 " Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies "
31 " of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. "
35 " The licenses for most software are designed to take away your "
36 "freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public "
37 "License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free "
38 "software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This "
39 "General Public License applies to most of the Free Software "
40 "Foundation\'s software and to any other program whose authors commit to "
41 "using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by "
42 "the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to "
43 "your programs, too. "
45 " When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not "
46 "price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you "
47 "have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for "
48 "this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it "
49 "if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it "
50 "in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. "
52 " To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid "
53 "anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. "
54 "These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you "
55 "distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. "
57 " For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether "
58 "gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that "
59 "you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the "
60 "source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their "
63 " We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and "
64 "(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, "
65 "distribute and/or modify the software. "
67 " Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain "
68 "that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free "
69 "software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we "
70 "want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so "
71 "that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original "
72 "authors' reputations. "
74 " Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software "
75 "patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free "
76 "program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the "
77 "program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any "
78 "patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. "
80 " The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and "
81 "modification follow. "
83 " GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE \n"
84 " TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION \n"
86 " 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains "
87 "a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed "
88 "under the terms of this General Public License. The \"Program\", below, "
89 "refers to any such program or work, and a \"work based on the Program\" "
90 "means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: "
91 "that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, "
92 "either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another "
93 "language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in "
94 "the term \"modification\".) Each licensee is addressed as \"you\". "
96 "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not "
97 "covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of "
98 "running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program "
99 "is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the "
100 "Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). "
101 "Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. "
103 " 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's "
104 "source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you "
105 "conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate "
106 "copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the "
107 "notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; "
108 "and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License "
109 "along with the Program. "
111 "You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and "
112 "you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. "
114 " 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion "
115 "of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and "
116 "distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 "
117 "above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: "
119 " a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices "
120 " stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. "
122 " b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in "
123 " whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any "
124 " part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third "
125 " parties under the terms of this License. "
127 " c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively "
128 " when run, you must cause it, when started running for such "
129 " interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an "
130 " announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a "
131 " notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide "
132 " a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under "
133 " these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this "
134 " License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but "
135 " does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on "
136 " the Program is not required to print an announcement.) "
138 "These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If "
139 "identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, "
140 "and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in "
141 "themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those "
142 "sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you "
143 "distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based "
144 "on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of "
145 "this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the "
146 "entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. "
148 "Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest "
149 "your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to "
150 "exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or "
151 "collective works based on the Program. "
153 "In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program "
154 "with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of "
155 "a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under "
156 "the scope of this License. "
158 " 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, "
159 "under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of "
160 "Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: "
162 " a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable "
163 " source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections "
164 " 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, "
166 " b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three "
167 " years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your "
168 " cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete "
169 " machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be "
170 " distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium "
171 " customarily used for software interchange; or, "
173 " c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer "
174 " to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is "
175 " allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you "
176 " received the program in object code or executable form with such "
177 " an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) "
179 "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for "
180 "making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source "
181 "code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any "
182 "associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to "
183 "control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a "
184 "special exception, the source code distributed need not include "
185 "anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary "
186 "form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the "
187 "operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component "
188 "itself accompanies the executable. "
190 "If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering "
191 "access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent "
192 "access to copy the source code from the same place counts as "
193 "distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not "
194 "compelled to copy the source along with the object code. "
196 " 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program "
197 "except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt "
198 "otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is "
199 "void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. "
200 "However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under "
201 "this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such "
202 "parties remain in full compliance. "
204 " 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not "
205 "signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or "
206 "distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are "
207 "prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by "
208 "modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the "
209 "Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and "
210 "all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying "
211 "the Program or works based on it. "
213 " 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the "
214 "Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the "
215 "original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to "
216 "these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further "
217 "restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. "
218 "You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to "
221 " 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent "
222 "infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), "
223 "conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or "
224 "otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not "
225 "excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot "
226 "distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this "
227 "License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you "
228 "may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent "
229 "license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by "
230 "all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then "
231 "the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to "
232 "refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. "
234 "If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under "
235 "any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to "
236 "apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other "
239 "It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any "
240 "patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any "
241 "such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the "
242 "integrity of the free software distribution system, which is "
243 "implemented by public license practices. Many people have made "
244 "generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed "
245 "through that system in reliance on consistent application of that "
246 "system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing "
247 "to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot "
248 "impose that choice. "
250 "This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to "
251 "be a consequence of the rest of this License. "
253 " 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in "
254 "certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the "
255 "original copyright holder who places the Program under this License "
256 "may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding "
257 "those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among "
258 "countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates "
259 "the limitation as if written in the body of this License. "
261 " 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions "
262 "of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will "
263 "be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to "
264 "address new problems or concerns. "
266 "Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program "
267 "specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and \"any "
268 "later version\", you have the option of following the terms and conditions "
269 "either of that version or of any later version published by the Free "
270 "Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of "
271 "this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software "
274 " 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free "
275 "programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author "
276 "to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free "
277 "Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes "
278 "make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals "
279 "of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and "
280 "of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. "
284 " 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY "
285 "FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN "
286 "OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES "
287 "PROVIDE THE PROGRAM \"AS IS\" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED "
288 "OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF "
289 "MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS "
290 "TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE "
291 "PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, "
292 "REPAIR OR CORRECTION. "
294 " 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING "
295 "WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR "
296 "REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, "
297 "INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING "
298 "OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED "
299 "TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY "
300 "YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER "
301 "PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE "
302 "POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. "
304 " END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS "
306 " How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs "
308 " If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest "
309 "possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it "
310 "free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. "
312 " To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest "
313 "to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively "
314 "convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least "
315 "the \"copyright\" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. "
317 " <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>\n"
318 " Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>\n"
320 " This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify"
321 " it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by"
322 " the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or"
323 " (at your option) any later version.\n"
325 " This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,"
326 " but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of"
327 " MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the"
328 " GNU General Public License for more details.\n"
330 " You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License"
331 " along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software"
332 " Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA\n"
335 "Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. "
337 "If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this "
338 "when it starts in an interactive mode: "
340 " Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author\n"
341 " Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.\n"
342 " This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it\n"
343 " under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.\n"
345 "The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate "
346 "parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may "
347 "be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be "
348 "mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. "
350 "You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your "
351 "school, if any, to sign a \"copyright disclaimer\" for the program, if "
352 "necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: "

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