6*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

9*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel                            Preamble
10*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
11*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselyour programs, too.
20*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
21*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
28*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
33*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselrights.
38*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
39*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute and/or modify the software.
42*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
43*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselauthors' reputations.
49*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
50*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
56*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmodification follow.
58*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
59*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
62*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessela notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseleither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessellanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
72*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
79*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseland give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselalong with the Program.
86*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
87*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
90*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
95*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
98*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    parties under the terms of this License.
102*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
103*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
114*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseland can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
124*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcollective works based on the Program.
128*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
129*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessela storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe scope of this License.
133*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
134*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
138*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
142*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
149*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
155*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseloperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselitself accompanies the executable.
165*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
166*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
172*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselparties remain in full compliance.
179*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
180*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe Program or works based on it.
188*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
189*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseloriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthis License.
196*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
197*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseldistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessellicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
210*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcircumstances.
214*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
215*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselimpose that choice.
225*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
226*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
229*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseloriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
237*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseladdress new problems or concerns.
241*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
242*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessellater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesseleither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselFoundation.
249*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
250*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
258*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel                            NO WARRANTY
259*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
260*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
270*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*3d0502afSRüdiger KesselTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY

286*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel
288*3d0502afSRüdiger Kessel  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*3d0502afSRüdiger Kesselconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
