6*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

9*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75                            Preamble
100e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
11*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75your programs, too.
200e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
21*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
270e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
28*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
320e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
33*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75rights.
380e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
39*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute and/or modify the software.
420e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
43*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75authors' reputations.
490e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
50*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
550e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
56*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75modification follow.
580e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
59*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
610e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
62*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
710e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
72*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
780e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
79*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75along with the Program.
860e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
87*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
890e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
90*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
940e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
95*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
970e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
98*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    parties under the terms of this License.
1020e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
103*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1130e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
114*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1230e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
124*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75collective works based on the Program.
1280e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
129*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the scope of this License.
1330e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
134*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1370e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
138*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1410e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
142*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
149*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
155*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75special exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75itself accompanies the executable.
165*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
166*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
172*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75parties remain in full compliance.
179*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
180*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the Program or works based on it.
188*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
189*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75this License.
196*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
197*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
210*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75circumstances.
214*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
215*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75impose that choice.
225*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
226*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75be a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
229*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
237*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75address new problems or concerns.
241*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
242*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Foundation.
249*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
250*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
258*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75                            NO WARRANTY
259*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
260*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN

282*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
2830e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
284*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
2870e943c71Sdavidjimenez75
288*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
2920e943c71Sdavidjimenez75

306*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
307*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,

309*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
310*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
312*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75when it starts in an interactive mode:
314*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
315*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
320*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75
325*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

335*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338*61ef61f6Sdavidjimenez75library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
