6*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
7*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
9*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr                            Preamble
10*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
11*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
12*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrfreedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
13*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrLicense is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
14*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsoftware--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
15*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrGeneral Public License applies to most of the Free Software
16*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrFoundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
17*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrusing it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
18*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
19*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohryour programs, too.
20*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
21*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
22*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrprice.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
23*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrhave the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
24*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthis service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
25*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrif you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
26*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrin new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
27*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
28*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
29*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohranyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
30*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrThese restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
31*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
32*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
33*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
34*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrgratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
35*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohryou have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
36*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsource code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
37*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrrights.
38*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
39*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
40*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
41*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute and/or modify the software.
42*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
43*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
44*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthat everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
45*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsoftware.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
46*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrwant its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
47*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthat any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
48*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrauthors' reputations.
49*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
50*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
51*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrpatents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
52*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrprogram will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
53*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrprogram proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
54*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrpatent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
55*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
56*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmodification follow.
58*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
59*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
62*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
63*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohra notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
64*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrunder the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
65*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrrefers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
66*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmeans either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
67*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthat is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
68*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohreither verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
69*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrlanguage.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
70*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
71*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
72*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrActivities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
73*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcovered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
74*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrrunning the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
75*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohris covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
76*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrProgram (independent of having been made by running the Program).
77*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrWhether that is true depends on what the Program does.
78*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
79*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
80*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsource code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
81*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrconspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
82*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcopyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
83*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrnotices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
84*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrand give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
85*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohralong with the Program.
86*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
87*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrYou may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
88*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohryou may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
89*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
90*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
91*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrof it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
92*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
93*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrabove, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
94*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
95*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
96*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
97*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
98*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
99*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
100*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
101*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    parties under the terms of this License.
102*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
103*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
104*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
105*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
106*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
107*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
108*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
109*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
110*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
111*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
112*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
113*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
114*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrThese requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
115*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohridentifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
116*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrand can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
117*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthemselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
118*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
119*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
120*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohron the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
121*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthis License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
122*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrentire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
123*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
124*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrThus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
125*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohryour rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
126*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrexercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
127*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcollective works based on the Program.
128*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
129*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrIn addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
130*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrwith the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
131*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohra storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
132*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe scope of this License.
133*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
134*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
135*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrunder Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
136*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrSections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
137*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
138*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
139*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
140*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
142*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
143*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
144*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
145*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
146*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
147*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    customarily used for software interchange; or,
148*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
149*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
150*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
151*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
152*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    received the program in object code or executable form with such
153*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
154*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
155*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrThe source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
156*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmaking modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
157*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcode means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
158*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrassociated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
159*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcontrol compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
160*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrspecial exception, the source code distributed need not include
161*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohranything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
162*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrform) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
163*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohroperating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
164*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohritself accompanies the executable.
165*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
166*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrIf distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
167*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohraccess to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
168*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohraccess to copy the source code from the same place counts as
169*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
170*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcompelled to copy the source along with the object code.
171*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
172*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
173*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrexcept as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
174*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrotherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
175*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrvoid, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
176*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrHowever, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
177*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthis License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
178*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrparties remain in full compliance.
179*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
180*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
181*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsigned it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
182*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
183*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrprohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
184*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmodifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
185*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrProgram), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
186*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrall its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
187*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe Program or works based on it.
188*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
189*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
190*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrProgram), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
191*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohroriginal licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
192*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthese terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
193*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrrestrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
194*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrYou are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
195*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthis License.
196*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
197*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
198*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrinfringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
199*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrconditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
200*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrotherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
201*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrexcuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
202*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrdistribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
203*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrLicense and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
204*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmay not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
205*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrlicense would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
206*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrall those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
207*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
208*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrrefrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
209*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
210*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrIf any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
211*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrany particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
212*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrapply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
213*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcircumstances.
214*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
215*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrIt is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
216*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrpatents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
217*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsuch claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
218*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrintegrity of the free software distribution system, which is
219*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrimplemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
220*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrgenerous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
221*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthrough that system in reliance on consistent application of that
222*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrsystem; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
223*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrto distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
224*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrimpose that choice.
225*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
226*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrThis section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
227*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrbe a consequence of the rest of this License.
228*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
229*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
230*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcertain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
231*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohroriginal copyright holder who places the Program under this License
232*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmay add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
233*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthose countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
234*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrcountries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
235*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthe limitation as if written in the body of this License.
236*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
237*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
238*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrof the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
239*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrbe similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
240*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohraddress new problems or concerns.
241*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
242*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrEach version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
243*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrspecifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
244*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrlater version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
245*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohreither of that version or of any later version published by the Free
246*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
247*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrthis License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
248*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrFoundation.
249*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
250*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
251*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrprograms whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
252*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrto ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
253*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrSoftware Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
254*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrmake exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
255*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrof preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
256*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrof promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
257*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
258*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr                            NO WARRANTY
259*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
260*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
261*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrFOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
262*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrOTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
263*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrPROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
264*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrOR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
265*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrMERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
266*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrTO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
267*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrPROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
268*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrREPAIR OR CORRECTION.
269*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
270*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
271*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrWILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
272*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrREDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
273*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrINCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
274*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrOUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
275*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrTO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
276*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrYOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
277*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrPROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
278*8aff9e82SAndreas GohrPOSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
279*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
280*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
281*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
282*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
283*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
284*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
285*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrpossible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
286*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohrfree software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
287*8aff9e82SAndreas Gohr
