---|
42 | |
---|
43 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
---|
44 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
---|
45 | |
---|
46 | Preamble |
---|
47 | ======== |
---|
48 | |
---|
49 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
---|
50 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
---|
51 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
---|
52 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
---|
53 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
---|
54 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
---|
55 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
---|
56 | the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
---|
57 | your programs, too. |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
---|
60 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
---|
61 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
---|
62 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
---|
63 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in |
---|
64 | new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
---|
65 | |
---|
66 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
---|
67 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
---|
68 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
---|
69 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
---|
70 | |
---|
71 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
---|
72 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
---|
73 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
---|
74 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
---|
75 | rights. |
---|
76 | |
---|
77 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, |
---|
78 | and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
---|
79 | distribute and/or modify the software. |
---|
80 | |
---|
81 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
---|
82 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
---|
83 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
---|
84 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
---|
85 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
---|
86 | authors' reputations. |
---|
87 | |
---|
88 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
---|
89 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
---|
90 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
---|
91 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
---|
92 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
---|
93 | |
---|
94 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
---|
95 | modification follow. |
---|
96 | |
---|
97 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
---|
98 | |
---|
99 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a |
---|
100 | notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
---|
101 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", |
---|
102 | below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on |
---|
103 | the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under |
---|
104 | copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a |
---|
105 | portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
---|
106 | translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is |
---|
107 | included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each |
---|
108 | licensee is addressed as "you". |
---|
109 | |
---|
110 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are |
---|
111 | not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act |
---|
112 | of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the |
---|
113 | Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on |
---|
114 | the Program (independent of having been made by running the |
---|
115 | Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
---|
116 | |
---|
117 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
---|
118 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
---|
119 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
---|
120 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
---|
121 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
---|
122 | warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of |
---|
123 | this License along with the Program. |
---|
124 | |
---|
125 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, |
---|
126 | and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange |
---|
127 | for a fee. |
---|
128 | |
---|
129 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
---|
130 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
---|
131 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
---|
132 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
---|
133 | |
---|
134 | a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
---|
135 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
---|
136 | |
---|
137 | b. You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that |
---|
138 | in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program |
---|
139 | or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge |
---|
140 | to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
---|
141 | |
---|
142 | c. If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
---|
143 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
---|
144 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display |
---|
145 | an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and |
---|
146 | a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you |
---|
147 | provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the |
---|
148 | program under these conditions, and telling the user how to |
---|
149 | view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program |
---|
150 | itself is interactive but does not normally print such an |
---|
151 | announcement, your work based on the Program is not required |
---|
152 | to print an announcement.) |
---|
153 | |
---|
154 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
---|
155 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the |
---|
156 | Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate |
---|
157 | works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not |
---|
158 | apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate |
---|
159 | works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a |
---|
160 | whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of |
---|
161 | the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions |
---|
162 | for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each |
---|
163 | and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
---|
164 | |
---|
165 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or |
---|
166 | contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the |
---|
167 | intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of |
---|
168 | derivative or collective works based on the Program. |
---|
169 | |
---|
170 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the |
---|
171 | Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on |
---|
172 | a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the |
---|
173 | other work under the scope of this License. |
---|
174 | |
---|
175 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
---|
176 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms |
---|
177 | of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the |
---|
178 | following: |
---|
179 | |
---|
180 | a. Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
---|
181 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of |
---|
182 | Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for |
---|
183 | software interchange; or, |
---|
184 | |
---|
185 | b. Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
---|
186 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
---|
187 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
---|
188 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
---|
189 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
---|
190 | medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
---|
191 | |
---|
192 | c. Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
---|
193 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
---|
194 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
---|
195 | received the program in object code or executable form with |
---|
196 | such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
---|
197 | |
---|
198 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
---|
199 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete |
---|
200 | source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, |
---|
201 | plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts |
---|
202 | used to control compilation and installation of the executable. |
---|
203 | However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need |
---|
204 | not include anything that is normally distributed (in either |
---|
205 | source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, |
---|
206 | kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable |
---|
207 | runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. |
---|
208 | |
---|
209 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
---|
210 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
---|
211 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
---|
212 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
---|
213 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
---|
214 | |
---|
215 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
---|
216 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
---|
217 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
---|
218 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this |
---|
219 | License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, |
---|
220 | from you under this License will not have their licenses |
---|
221 | terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
---|
222 | |
---|
223 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
---|
224 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify |
---|
225 | or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions |
---|
226 | are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. |
---|
227 | Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work |
---|
228 | based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this |
---|
229 | License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, |
---|
230 | distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. |
---|
231 | |
---|
232 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
---|
233 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
---|
234 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program |
---|
235 | subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any |
---|
236 | further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights |
---|
237 | granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance |
---|
238 | by third parties to this License. |
---|
239 | |
---|
240 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
---|
241 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent |
---|
242 | issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, |
---|
243 | agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this |
---|
244 | License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this |
---|
245 | License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously |
---|
246 | your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
---|
247 | obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the |
---|
248 | Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit |
---|
249 | royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who |
---|
250 | receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only |
---|
251 | way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain |
---|
252 | entirely from distribution of the Program. |
---|
253 | |
---|
254 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable |
---|
255 | under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is |
---|
256 | intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply |
---|
257 | in other circumstances. |
---|
258 | |
---|
259 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
---|
260 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of |
---|
261 | any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting |
---|
262 | the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
---|
263 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
---|
264 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
---|
265 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
---|
266 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is |
---|
267 | willing to distribute software through any other system and a |
---|
268 | licensee cannot impose that choice. |
---|
269 | |
---|
270 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed |
---|
271 | to be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
---|
272 | |
---|
273 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
---|
274 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, |
---|
275 | the original copyright holder who places the Program under this |
---|
276 | License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation |
---|
277 | excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only |
---|
278 | in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this |
---|
279 | License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of |
---|
280 | this License. |
---|
281 | |
---|
282 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new |
---|
283 | versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such |
---|
284 | new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but |
---|
285 | may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. |
---|
286 | |
---|
287 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the |
---|
288 | Program specifies a version number of this License which applies |
---|
289 | to it and "any later version", you have the option of following |
---|
290 | the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later |
---|
291 | version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program |
---|
292 | does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose |
---|
293 | any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
---|
294 | |
---|
295 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
---|
296 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the |
---|
297 | author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted |
---|
298 | by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software |
---|
299 | Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision |
---|
300 | will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
---|
301 | all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing |
---|
302 | and reuse of software generally. |
---|
303 | |
---|
304 | NO WARRANTY |
---|
305 | |
---|
306 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO |
---|
307 | WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE |
---|
308 | LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT |
---|
309 | HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT |
---|
310 | WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT |
---|
311 | NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND |
---|
312 | FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE |
---|
313 | QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
---|
314 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY |
---|
315 | SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
---|
316 | |
---|
317 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN |
---|
318 | WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY |
---|
319 | MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE |
---|
320 | LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, |
---|
321 | INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
---|
322 | INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF |
---|
323 | DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU |
---|
324 | OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY |
---|
325 | OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN |
---|
326 | ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
---|
327 | |
---|
328 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
---|
329 | |
---|
330 | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
---|
331 | ============================================= |
---|
332 | |
---|
333 | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
---|
334 | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
---|
335 | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these |
---|
336 | terms. |
---|
337 | |
---|
338 | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
---|
339 | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
---|
340 | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
---|
341 | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
---|
342 | |
---|
343 | ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES. |
---|
344 | Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR |

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

---|
349 | (at your option) any later version. |
---|

351 | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
---|
352 | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |

---|
355 | |
---|
356 | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |

357 | along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |

358 | Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. |
---|
359 | |
---|
360 | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper |
---|
361 | mail. |
---|
362 | |
---|
363 | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like |
---|
364 | this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
---|

366 | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR |

367 | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details |

368 | type `show w'. |
---|
369 | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
---|
370 | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
---|
371 | |
---|
372 | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the |
---|
373 | appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the |
---|
374 | commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show |
---|
375 | c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your |
---|
376 | program. |
---|
377 | |
---|
378 | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or |
---|
