6*ced89be4SMichael Große Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*ced89be4SMichael Große of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*ced89be4SMichael Große
9*ced89be4SMichael Große                            Preamble
10*ced89be4SMichael Große
11*ced89be4SMichael Große  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*ced89be4SMichael Großefreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*ced89be4SMichael GroßeLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*ced89be4SMichael Großesoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*ced89be4SMichael GroßeGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*ced89be4SMichael GroßeFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*ced89be4SMichael Großeusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*ced89be4SMichael Großethe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*ced89be4SMichael Großeyour programs, too.
20*ced89be4SMichael Große
21*ced89be4SMichael Große  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*ced89be4SMichael Großeprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*ced89be4SMichael Großehave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*ced89be4SMichael Großethis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*ced89be4SMichael Großeif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*ced89be4SMichael Großein new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*ced89be4SMichael Große
28*ced89be4SMichael Große  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*ced89be4SMichael Großeanyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*ced89be4SMichael GroßeThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*ced89be4SMichael Große
33*ced89be4SMichael Große  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*ced89be4SMichael Großegratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*ced89be4SMichael Großeyou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*ced89be4SMichael Großesource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*ced89be4SMichael Großerights.
38*ced89be4SMichael Große
39*ced89be4SMichael Große  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*ced89be4SMichael Große(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute and/or modify the software.
42*ced89be4SMichael Große
43*ced89be4SMichael Große  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*ced89be4SMichael Großethat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*ced89be4SMichael Großesoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*ced89be4SMichael Großewant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*ced89be4SMichael Großethat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*ced89be4SMichael Großeauthors' reputations.
49*ced89be4SMichael Große
50*ced89be4SMichael Große  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*ced89be4SMichael Großepatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*ced89be4SMichael Großeprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*ced89be4SMichael Großeprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*ced89be4SMichael Großepatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*ced89be4SMichael Große
56*ced89be4SMichael Große  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*ced89be4SMichael Großemodification follow.
58*ced89be4SMichael Große
59*ced89be4SMichael Große                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*ced89be4SMichael Große   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*ced89be4SMichael Große
62*ced89be4SMichael Große  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*ced89be4SMichael Großea notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*ced89be4SMichael Großeunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*ced89be4SMichael Großerefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*ced89be4SMichael Großemeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*ced89be4SMichael Großethat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*ced89be4SMichael Großeeither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*ced89be4SMichael Großelanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*ced89be4SMichael Großethe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*ced89be4SMichael Große
72*ced89be4SMichael GroßeActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*ced89be4SMichael Großecovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*ced89be4SMichael Großerunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*ced89be4SMichael Großeis covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*ced89be4SMichael GroßeProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*ced89be4SMichael GroßeWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*ced89be4SMichael Große
79*ced89be4SMichael Große  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*ced89be4SMichael Großesource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*ced89be4SMichael Großeconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*ced89be4SMichael Großecopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*ced89be4SMichael Großenotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*ced89be4SMichael Großeand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*ced89be4SMichael Großealong with the Program.
86*ced89be4SMichael Große
87*ced89be4SMichael GroßeYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*ced89be4SMichael Großeyou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*ced89be4SMichael Große
90*ced89be4SMichael Große  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*ced89be4SMichael Großeof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*ced89be4SMichael Großeabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*ced89be4SMichael Große
95*ced89be4SMichael Große    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*ced89be4SMichael Große    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*ced89be4SMichael Große
98*ced89be4SMichael Große    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*ced89be4SMichael Große    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*ced89be4SMichael Große    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*ced89be4SMichael Große    parties under the terms of this License.
102*ced89be4SMichael Große
103*ced89be4SMichael Große    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*ced89be4SMichael Große    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*ced89be4SMichael Große    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*ced89be4SMichael Große    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*ced89be4SMichael Große    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*ced89be4SMichael Große    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*ced89be4SMichael Große    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*ced89be4SMichael Große    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*ced89be4SMichael Große    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*ced89be4SMichael Große    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*ced89be4SMichael Große
114*ced89be4SMichael GroßeThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*ced89be4SMichael Großeidentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*ced89be4SMichael Großeand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*ced89be4SMichael Großethemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*ced89be4SMichael Großesections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*ced89be4SMichael Großeon the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*ced89be4SMichael Großethis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*ced89be4SMichael Großeentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*ced89be4SMichael Große
124*ced89be4SMichael GroßeThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*ced89be4SMichael Großeyour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*ced89be4SMichael Großeexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*ced89be4SMichael Großecollective works based on the Program.
128*ced89be4SMichael Große
129*ced89be4SMichael GroßeIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*ced89be4SMichael Großewith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*ced89be4SMichael Großea storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*ced89be4SMichael Großethe scope of this License.
133*ced89be4SMichael Große
134*ced89be4SMichael Große  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*ced89be4SMichael Großeunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*ced89be4SMichael GroßeSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*ced89be4SMichael Große
138*ced89be4SMichael Große    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*ced89be4SMichael Große    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*ced89be4SMichael Große    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*ced89be4SMichael Große
142*ced89be4SMichael Große    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*ced89be4SMichael Große    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*ced89be4SMichael Große    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*ced89be4SMichael Große    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*ced89be4SMichael Große    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*ced89be4SMichael Große    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*ced89be4SMichael Große
149*ced89be4SMichael Große    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*ced89be4SMichael Große    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*ced89be4SMichael Große    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*ced89be4SMichael Große    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*ced89be4SMichael Große    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*ced89be4SMichael Große
155*ced89be4SMichael GroßeThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*ced89be4SMichael Großemaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*ced89be4SMichael Großecode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*ced89be4SMichael Großeassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*ced89be4SMichael Großecontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*ced89be4SMichael Großespecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*ced89be4SMichael Großeanything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*ced89be4SMichael Großeform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*ced89be4SMichael Großeoperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*ced89be4SMichael Großeitself accompanies the executable.
165*ced89be4SMichael Große
166*ced89be4SMichael GroßeIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*ced89be4SMichael Großeaccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*ced89be4SMichael Großeaccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*ced89be4SMichael Großecompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*ced89be4SMichael Große
172*ced89be4SMichael Große  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*ced89be4SMichael Großeexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*ced89be4SMichael Großeotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*ced89be4SMichael Großevoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*ced89be4SMichael GroßeHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*ced89be4SMichael Großethis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*ced89be4SMichael Großeparties remain in full compliance.
179*ced89be4SMichael Große
180*ced89be4SMichael Große  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*ced89be4SMichael Großesigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*ced89be4SMichael Großeprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*ced89be4SMichael Großemodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*ced89be4SMichael GroßeProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*ced89be4SMichael Großeall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*ced89be4SMichael Großethe Program or works based on it.
188*ced89be4SMichael Große
189*ced89be4SMichael Große  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*ced89be4SMichael GroßeProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*ced89be4SMichael Großeoriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*ced89be4SMichael Großethese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*ced89be4SMichael Großerestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*ced89be4SMichael GroßeYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*ced89be4SMichael Großethis License.
196*ced89be4SMichael Große
197*ced89be4SMichael Große  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*ced89be4SMichael Großeinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*ced89be4SMichael Großeconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*ced89be4SMichael Großeotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*ced89be4SMichael Großeexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*ced89be4SMichael Großedistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*ced89be4SMichael GroßeLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*ced89be4SMichael Großemay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*ced89be4SMichael Großelicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*ced89be4SMichael Großeall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*ced89be4SMichael Großethe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*ced89be4SMichael Großerefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*ced89be4SMichael Große
210*ced89be4SMichael GroßeIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*ced89be4SMichael Großeany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*ced89be4SMichael Großeapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*ced89be4SMichael Großecircumstances.
214*ced89be4SMichael Große
215*ced89be4SMichael GroßeIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*ced89be4SMichael Großepatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*ced89be4SMichael Großesuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*ced89be4SMichael Großeintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*ced89be4SMichael Großeimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*ced89be4SMichael Großegenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*ced89be4SMichael Großethrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*ced89be4SMichael Großesystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*ced89be4SMichael Großeto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*ced89be4SMichael Großeimpose that choice.
225*ced89be4SMichael Große
226*ced89be4SMichael GroßeThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*ced89be4SMichael Großebe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*ced89be4SMichael Große
229*ced89be4SMichael Große  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*ced89be4SMichael Großecertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*ced89be4SMichael Großeoriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*ced89be4SMichael Großemay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*ced89be4SMichael Großethose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*ced89be4SMichael Großecountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*ced89be4SMichael Großethe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*ced89be4SMichael Große
237*ced89be4SMichael Große  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*ced89be4SMichael Großeof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*ced89be4SMichael Großebe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*ced89be4SMichael Großeaddress new problems or concerns.
241*ced89be4SMichael Große
242*ced89be4SMichael GroßeEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*ced89be4SMichael Großespecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*ced89be4SMichael Großelater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*ced89be4SMichael Großeeither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*ced89be4SMichael GroßeSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*ced89be4SMichael Großethis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*ced89be4SMichael GroßeFoundation.
249*ced89be4SMichael Große
250*ced89be4SMichael Große  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*ced89be4SMichael Großeprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*ced89be4SMichael Großeto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*ced89be4SMichael GroßeSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*ced89be4SMichael Großemake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*ced89be4SMichael Großeof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*ced89be4SMichael Großeof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*ced89be4SMichael Große
258*ced89be4SMichael Große                            NO WARRANTY
259*ced89be4SMichael Große
260*ced89be4SMichael Große  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*ced89be4SMichael GroßeFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*ced89be4SMichael GroßeOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*ced89be4SMichael GroßePROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*ced89be4SMichael GroßeOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*ced89be4SMichael GroßeMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*ced89be4SMichael GroßeTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*ced89be4SMichael GroßePROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*ced89be4SMichael GroßeREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*ced89be4SMichael Große
270*ced89be4SMichael Große  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*ced89be4SMichael GroßeWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*ced89be4SMichael GroßeREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*ced89be4SMichael GroßeINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*ced89be4SMichael GroßeOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*ced89be4SMichael GroßeTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*ced89be4SMichael GroßeYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*ced89be4SMichael GroßePROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278*ced89be4SMichael GroßePOSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279*ced89be4SMichael Große
280*ced89be4SMichael Große                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281*ced89be4SMichael Große
282*ced89be4SMichael Große            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*ced89be4SMichael Große
284*ced89be4SMichael Große  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*ced89be4SMichael Großepossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*ced89be4SMichael Großefree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*ced89be4SMichael Große
288*ced89be4SMichael Große  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
289*ced89be4SMichael Großeto attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
290*ced89be4SMichael Großeconvey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
291*ced89be4SMichael Großethe "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
292*ced89be4SMichael Große
