10*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
11*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDyour programs, too.
20*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
21*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
28*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
33*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDrights.
38*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
39*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
43*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDauthors' reputations.
49*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
50*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
56*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmodification follow.
58*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
59*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
62*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDa notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDeither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
72*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
79*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDalong with the Program.
86*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
87*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
90*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
95*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
98*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    parties under the terms of this License.
102*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
103*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
114*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
124*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcollective works based on the Program.
128*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
129*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDa storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe scope of this License.
133*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
134*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
138*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
142*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
149*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
155*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDitself accompanies the executable.
165*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
166*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
172*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDparties remain in full compliance.
179*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
180*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe Program or works based on it.
188*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
189*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthis License.
196*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
197*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
210*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcircumstances.
214*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
215*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDimpose that choice.
225*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
226*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
229*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
237*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDaddress new problems or concerns.
241*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
242*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDeither of that version or of any later version published by the Free

282*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
284*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
288*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD

310*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDAlso add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
312*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDwhen it starts in an interactive mode:
314*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
315*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

317*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
320*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUD
325*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*6142d704SOlivier CHURLAUDnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
