6*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
9*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach                            Preamble
10*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
11*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachyour programs, too.
20*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
21*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
28*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
33*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachrights.
38*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
39*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
43*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachauthors' reputations.
49*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
50*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
56*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmodification follow.
58*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
59*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
62*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbacha notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbacheither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
72*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
79*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachalong with the Program.
86*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
87*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
90*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
95*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
98*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    parties under the terms of this License.
102*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
103*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
114*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
124*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcollective works based on the Program.
128*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
129*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbacha storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe scope of this License.
133*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
134*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
138*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
142*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
149*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
155*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachitself accompanies the executable.
165*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
166*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
172*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachparties remain in full compliance.
179*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
180*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe Program or works based on it.
188*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
189*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthis License.
196*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
197*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
210*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcircumstances.
214*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
215*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachimpose that choice.
225*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
226*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
229*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
237*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachaddress new problems or concerns.
241*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
242*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbacheither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachFoundation.
249*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
250*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
258*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach                            NO WARRANTY
259*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
260*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
270*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278*b64ff4deSGerry WeißbachPOSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
280*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
282*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
284*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbachfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*b64ff4deSGerry Weißbach
