6*79f39653SAndreas Gohr Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*79f39653SAndreas Gohr of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
9*79f39653SAndreas Gohr                            Preamble
10*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
11*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*79f39653SAndreas Gohrfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*79f39653SAndreas GohrLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*79f39653SAndreas GohrGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*79f39653SAndreas GohrFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*79f39653SAndreas Gohrusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*79f39653SAndreas Gohryour programs, too.
20*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
21*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*79f39653SAndreas Gohrprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*79f39653SAndreas Gohrhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*79f39653SAndreas Gohrif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*79f39653SAndreas Gohrin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
28*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*79f39653SAndreas Gohranyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*79f39653SAndreas GohrThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
33*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*79f39653SAndreas Gohrgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*79f39653SAndreas Gohryou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*79f39653SAndreas Gohrrights.
38*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
39*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*79f39653SAndreas Gohr(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
43*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*79f39653SAndreas Gohrwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*79f39653SAndreas Gohrauthors' reputations.
49*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
50*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*79f39653SAndreas Gohrpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*79f39653SAndreas Gohrprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*79f39653SAndreas Gohrprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*79f39653SAndreas Gohrpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
56*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmodification follow.
58*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
59*79f39653SAndreas Gohr                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*79f39653SAndreas Gohr   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
62*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*79f39653SAndreas Gohra notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*79f39653SAndreas Gohrunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*79f39653SAndreas Gohrrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*79f39653SAndreas Gohreither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*79f39653SAndreas Gohrlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
72*79f39653SAndreas GohrActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*79f39653SAndreas Gohrrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*79f39653SAndreas Gohris covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*79f39653SAndreas GohrProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*79f39653SAndreas GohrWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
79*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*79f39653SAndreas Gohrconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*79f39653SAndreas Gohrnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*79f39653SAndreas Gohrand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*79f39653SAndreas Gohralong with the Program.
86*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
87*79f39653SAndreas GohrYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*79f39653SAndreas Gohryou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
90*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*79f39653SAndreas Gohrof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*79f39653SAndreas Gohrabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
95*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
98*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    parties under the terms of this License.
102*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
103*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
114*79f39653SAndreas GohrThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*79f39653SAndreas Gohridentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*79f39653SAndreas Gohrand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*79f39653SAndreas Gohron the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*79f39653SAndreas Gohrentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
124*79f39653SAndreas GohrThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*79f39653SAndreas Gohryour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*79f39653SAndreas Gohrexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcollective works based on the Program.
128*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
129*79f39653SAndreas GohrIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*79f39653SAndreas Gohrwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*79f39653SAndreas Gohra storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe scope of this License.
133*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
134*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*79f39653SAndreas Gohrunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*79f39653SAndreas GohrSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
138*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
142*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
149*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
155*79f39653SAndreas GohrThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*79f39653SAndreas Gohrassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*79f39653SAndreas Gohrspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*79f39653SAndreas Gohranything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*79f39653SAndreas Gohrform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*79f39653SAndreas Gohroperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*79f39653SAndreas Gohritself accompanies the executable.
165*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
166*79f39653SAndreas GohrIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*79f39653SAndreas Gohraccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*79f39653SAndreas Gohraccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
172*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*79f39653SAndreas Gohrexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*79f39653SAndreas Gohrotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*79f39653SAndreas Gohrvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*79f39653SAndreas GohrHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*79f39653SAndreas Gohrparties remain in full compliance.
179*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
180*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*79f39653SAndreas Gohrprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*79f39653SAndreas GohrProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*79f39653SAndreas Gohrall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe Program or works based on it.
188*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
189*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*79f39653SAndreas GohrProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*79f39653SAndreas Gohroriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*79f39653SAndreas Gohrrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*79f39653SAndreas GohrYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthis License.
196*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
197*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*79f39653SAndreas Gohrinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*79f39653SAndreas Gohrconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*79f39653SAndreas Gohrotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*79f39653SAndreas Gohrexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*79f39653SAndreas Gohrdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*79f39653SAndreas GohrLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*79f39653SAndreas Gohrlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*79f39653SAndreas Gohrall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*79f39653SAndreas Gohrrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
210*79f39653SAndreas GohrIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*79f39653SAndreas Gohrany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*79f39653SAndreas Gohrapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcircumstances.
214*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
215*79f39653SAndreas GohrIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*79f39653SAndreas Gohrpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*79f39653SAndreas Gohrintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*79f39653SAndreas Gohrimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*79f39653SAndreas Gohrgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*79f39653SAndreas Gohrsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*79f39653SAndreas Gohrto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*79f39653SAndreas Gohrimpose that choice.
225*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
226*79f39653SAndreas GohrThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*79f39653SAndreas Gohrbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
229*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*79f39653SAndreas Gohroriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*79f39653SAndreas Gohrcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
237*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*79f39653SAndreas Gohrof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*79f39653SAndreas Gohrbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*79f39653SAndreas Gohraddress new problems or concerns.
241*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
242*79f39653SAndreas GohrEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*79f39653SAndreas Gohrspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*79f39653SAndreas Gohrlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*79f39653SAndreas Gohreither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*79f39653SAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*79f39653SAndreas GohrFoundation.
249*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
250*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*79f39653SAndreas Gohrprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*79f39653SAndreas Gohrto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*79f39653SAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*79f39653SAndreas Gohrof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*79f39653SAndreas Gohrof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
258*79f39653SAndreas Gohr                            NO WARRANTY
259*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
260*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*79f39653SAndreas GohrFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*79f39653SAndreas GohrOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*79f39653SAndreas GohrPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*79f39653SAndreas GohrOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*79f39653SAndreas GohrMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*79f39653SAndreas GohrTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*79f39653SAndreas GohrPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*79f39653SAndreas GohrREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*79f39653SAndreas Gohr

282*79f39653SAndreas Gohr            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
284*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*79f39653SAndreas Gohrpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*79f39653SAndreas Gohrfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
288*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*79f39653SAndreas Gohrto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*79f39653SAndreas Gohrconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*79f39653SAndreas Gohrthe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
293*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

309*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
310*79f39653SAndreas GohrAlso add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
311*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
312*79f39653SAndreas GohrIf the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
313*79f39653SAndreas Gohrwhen it starts in an interactive mode:
314*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
315*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
316*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
317*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
318*79f39653SAndreas Gohr    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
319*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
320*79f39653SAndreas GohrThe hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
321*79f39653SAndreas Gohrparts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
322*79f39653SAndreas Gohrbe called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
323*79f39653SAndreas Gohrmouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
324*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
325*79f39653SAndreas GohrYou should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
326*79f39653SAndreas Gohrschool, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
327*79f39653SAndreas Gohrnecessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
328*79f39653SAndreas Gohr
329*79f39653SAndreas Gohr  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

335*79f39653SAndreas GohrThis General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
336*79f39653SAndreas Gohrproprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
337*79f39653SAndreas Gohrconsider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
338*79f39653SAndreas Gohrlibrary.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
339*79f39653SAndreas GohrPublic License instead of this License.
