6*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
9*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr                            Preamble
10*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
11*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohryour programs, too.
20*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
21*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
28*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohranyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
33*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohryou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrrights.
38*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
39*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
43*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrauthors' reputations.
49*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
50*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
56*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmodification follow.
58*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
59*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
62*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohra notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohreither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
72*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohris covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
79*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohralong with the Program.
86*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
87*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohryou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
90*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
95*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
98*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    parties under the terms of this License.
102*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
103*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
114*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohridentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohron the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
124*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohryour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcollective works based on the Program.
128*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
129*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohra storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe scope of this License.
133*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
134*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
138*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
142*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
149*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
155*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohranything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohroperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohritself accompanies the executable.
165*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
166*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohraccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohraccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
172*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrparties remain in full compliance.
179*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
180*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe Program or works based on it.
188*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
189*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohroriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthis License.
196*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
197*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
210*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcircumstances.
214*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
215*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrimpose that choice.
225*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
226*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
229*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohroriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
237*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohraddress new problems or concerns.
241*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
242*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohreither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrFoundation.
249*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
250*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
258*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr                            NO WARRANTY
259*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
260*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
270*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

282*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
284*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
288*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
293*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

306*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,

309*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
310*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrAlso add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
312*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrwhen it starts in an interactive mode:
314*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
315*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
320*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr
325*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

329*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohr  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

335*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrThis General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrproprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrconsider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338*3b37d1dfSAndreas Gohrlibrary.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339*3b37d1dfSAndreas GohrPublic License instead of this License.
