6*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
9*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr                            Preamble
10*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
11*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohryour programs, too.
20*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
21*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
28*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohranyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
33*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohryou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrrights.
38*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
39*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
43*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrauthors' reputations.
49*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
50*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
56*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmodification follow.
58*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
59*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
62*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohra notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohreither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
72*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohris covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
79*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohralong with the Program.
86*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
87*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohryou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
90*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
95*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
98*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    parties under the terms of this License.
102*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
103*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
114*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohridentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohron the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
124*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohryour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcollective works based on the Program.
128*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
129*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohra storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe scope of this License.
133*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
134*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
138*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
142*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
149*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
155*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohranything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohroperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohritself accompanies the executable.
165*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
166*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohraccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohraccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
172*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrparties remain in full compliance.
179*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
180*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe Program or works based on it.
188*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
189*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohroriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthis License.
196*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
197*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
210*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcircumstances.
214*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
215*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrimpose that choice.
225*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
226*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
229*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohroriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
237*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohraddress new problems or concerns.
241*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
242*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohreither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrFoundation.
249*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
250*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
258*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr                            NO WARRANTY
259*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
260*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
270*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

282*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
284*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
288*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
293*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

306*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,

309*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
310*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrAlso add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
312*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrwhen it starts in an interactive mode:
314*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
315*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
320*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr
325*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

329*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
330*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohr  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

335*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrThis General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrproprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrconsider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338*a3092f6cSAndreas Gohrlibrary.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339*a3092f6cSAndreas GohrPublic License instead of this License.
