6*09b43617SGerry Weißbach Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*09b43617SGerry Weißbach of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

9*09b43617SGerry Weißbach			    Preamble
10*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
11*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*09b43617SGerry Weißbachfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*09b43617SGerry WeißbachLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*09b43617SGerry WeißbachGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*09b43617SGerry WeißbachFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*09b43617SGerry Weißbachusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*09b43617SGerry Weißbachyour programs, too.
20*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
21*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*09b43617SGerry Weißbachprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*09b43617SGerry Weißbachhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*09b43617SGerry Weißbachif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*09b43617SGerry Weißbachin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
28*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*09b43617SGerry Weißbachanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*09b43617SGerry WeißbachThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
33*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*09b43617SGerry Weißbachgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*09b43617SGerry Weißbachyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*09b43617SGerry Weißbachrights.
38*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
39*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*09b43617SGerry Weißbach(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
43*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*09b43617SGerry Weißbachwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*09b43617SGerry Weißbachauthors' reputations.
49*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
50*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*09b43617SGerry Weißbachpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*09b43617SGerry Weißbachprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*09b43617SGerry Weißbachprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*09b43617SGerry Weißbachpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
56*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmodification follow.
58*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
59*09b43617SGerry Weißbach		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*09b43617SGerry Weißbach   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
62*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*09b43617SGerry Weißbacha notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*09b43617SGerry Weißbachunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*09b43617SGerry Weißbachrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*09b43617SGerry Weißbacheither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*09b43617SGerry Weißbachlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
72*09b43617SGerry WeißbachActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*09b43617SGerry Weißbachrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*09b43617SGerry Weißbachis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*09b43617SGerry WeißbachProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*09b43617SGerry WeißbachWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
79*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*09b43617SGerry Weißbachconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*09b43617SGerry Weißbachnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*09b43617SGerry Weißbachand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*09b43617SGerry Weißbachalong with the Program.
86*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
87*09b43617SGerry WeißbachYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*09b43617SGerry Weißbachyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
90*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*09b43617SGerry Weißbachof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*09b43617SGerry Weißbachabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
95*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
98*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    parties under the terms of this License.
102*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
103*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
114*09b43617SGerry WeißbachThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*09b43617SGerry Weißbachidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*09b43617SGerry Weißbachand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*09b43617SGerry Weißbachon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*09b43617SGerry Weißbachentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
124*09b43617SGerry WeißbachThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*09b43617SGerry Weißbachyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*09b43617SGerry Weißbachexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcollective works based on the Program.
128*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
129*09b43617SGerry WeißbachIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*09b43617SGerry Weißbachwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*09b43617SGerry Weißbacha storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe scope of this License.
133*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
134*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*09b43617SGerry Weißbachunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*09b43617SGerry WeißbachSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
138*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
142*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
149*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*09b43617SGerry Weißbach    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
155*09b43617SGerry WeißbachThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*09b43617SGerry Weißbachassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*09b43617SGerry Weißbachspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*09b43617SGerry Weißbachanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*09b43617SGerry Weißbachform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*09b43617SGerry Weißbachoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*09b43617SGerry Weißbachitself accompanies the executable.
165*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
166*09b43617SGerry WeißbachIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*09b43617SGerry Weißbachaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*09b43617SGerry Weißbachaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
172*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*09b43617SGerry Weißbachexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*09b43617SGerry Weißbachotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*09b43617SGerry Weißbachvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*09b43617SGerry WeißbachHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*09b43617SGerry Weißbachparties remain in full compliance.
179*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
180*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*09b43617SGerry Weißbachprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*09b43617SGerry WeißbachProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*09b43617SGerry Weißbachall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe Program or works based on it.
188*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
189*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*09b43617SGerry WeißbachProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*09b43617SGerry Weißbachoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*09b43617SGerry Weißbachrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*09b43617SGerry WeißbachYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthis License.
196*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
197*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*09b43617SGerry Weißbachinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*09b43617SGerry Weißbachconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*09b43617SGerry Weißbachotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*09b43617SGerry Weißbachexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*09b43617SGerry Weißbachdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*09b43617SGerry WeißbachLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*09b43617SGerry Weißbachlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*09b43617SGerry Weißbachall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*09b43617SGerry Weißbachrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
210*09b43617SGerry WeißbachIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*09b43617SGerry Weißbachany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*09b43617SGerry Weißbachapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcircumstances.
214*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
215*09b43617SGerry WeißbachIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*09b43617SGerry Weißbachpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*09b43617SGerry Weißbachintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*09b43617SGerry Weißbachimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*09b43617SGerry Weißbachgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*09b43617SGerry Weißbachsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*09b43617SGerry Weißbachto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*09b43617SGerry Weißbachimpose that choice.
225*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
226*09b43617SGerry WeißbachThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*09b43617SGerry Weißbachbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
229*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*09b43617SGerry Weißbachoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*09b43617SGerry Weißbachcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
237*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*09b43617SGerry Weißbachof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*09b43617SGerry Weißbachbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*09b43617SGerry Weißbachaddress new problems or concerns.
241*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
242*09b43617SGerry WeißbachEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*09b43617SGerry Weißbachspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*09b43617SGerry Weißbachlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*09b43617SGerry Weißbacheither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*09b43617SGerry WeißbachSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*09b43617SGerry Weißbachthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*09b43617SGerry WeißbachFoundation.
249*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
250*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*09b43617SGerry Weißbachprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*09b43617SGerry Weißbachto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*09b43617SGerry WeißbachSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*09b43617SGerry Weißbachof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*09b43617SGerry Weißbachof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
258*09b43617SGerry Weißbach			    NO WARRANTY
259*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
260*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*09b43617SGerry WeißbachFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*09b43617SGerry WeißbachOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*09b43617SGerry WeißbachPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*09b43617SGerry WeißbachOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*09b43617SGerry WeißbachMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*09b43617SGerry WeißbachTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*09b43617SGerry WeißbachPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*09b43617SGerry WeißbachREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*09b43617SGerry Weißbach
270*09b43617SGerry Weißbach  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*09b43617SGerry WeißbachWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR

323*09b43617SGerry Weißbachbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
324*09b43617SGerry Weißbachmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
