| <center>Version 2, June 1991</center>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
| |
| 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
| |
| of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
| |
| freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
| |
| License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
| |
| software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
| |
| General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
| |
| Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
| |
| using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
| |
| the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
| |
| your programs, too.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
| |
| price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
| |
| have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
| |
| this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
| |
| if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
| |
| in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
| |
| anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
| |
| These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
| |
| distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
| |
| gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
| |
| you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
| |
| source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
| |
| rights.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
| |
| (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
| |
| distribute and/or modify the software.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
| |
| that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
| |
| software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
| |
| want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
| |
| that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
| |
| authors' reputations.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
| |
| patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
| |
| program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
| |
| program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
| |
| patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
| |
| modification follow.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <center>GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE</center>
| |
| <center>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</center>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
| |
| a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
| |
| under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
| |
| refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
| |
| means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
| |
| that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
| |
| either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
| |
| language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
| |
| the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
| |
| covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
| |
| running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
| |
| is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
| |
| Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
| |
| Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
| |
| source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
| |
| conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
| |
| copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
| |
| notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
| |
| and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
| |
| along with the Program.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
| |
| you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
| |
| of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
| |
| distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
| |
| above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
| |
| stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
| |
| whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
| |
| part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
| |
| parties under the terms of this License.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
| |
| when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
| |
| interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
| |
| announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
| |
| notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
| |
| a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
| |
| these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
| |
| License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
| |
| does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
| |
| the Program is not required to print an announcement.)</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
| |
| identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
| |
| and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
| |
| themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
| |
| sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
| |
| distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
| |
| on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
| |
| this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
| |
| entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
| |
| your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
| |
| exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
| |
| collective works based on the Program.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
| |
| with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
| |
| a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
| |
| the scope of this License.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
| |
| under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
| |
| Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
| |
| source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
| |
| 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
| |
| years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
| |
| cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
| |
| machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
| |
| distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
| |
| customarily used for software interchange; or,</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
| |
| to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
| |
| allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
| |
| received the program in object code or executable form with such
| |
| an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
| |
| making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
| |
| code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
| |
| associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
| |
| control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
| |
| special exception, the source code distributed need not include
| |
| anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
| |
| form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
| |
| operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
| |
| itself accompanies the executable.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
| |
| access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
| |
| access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
| |
| distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
| |
| compelled to copy the source along with the object code.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
| |
| except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
| |
| otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
| |
| void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
| |
| However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
| |
| this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
| |
| parties remain in full compliance.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
| |
| signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
| |
| distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
| |
| prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
| |
| modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
| |
| Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
| |
| all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
| |
| the Program or works based on it.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
| |
| Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
| |
| original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
| |
| these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
| |
| restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
| |
| You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
| |
| this License.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
| |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
| |
| conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
| |
| otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
| |
| excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
| |
| distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
| |
| License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
| |
| may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
| |
| license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
| |
| all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
| |
| the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
| |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
| |
| any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
| |
| apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
| |
| circumstances.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
| |
| patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
| |
| such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
| |
| integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
| |
| implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
| |
| generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
| |
| through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
| |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
| |
| to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
| |
| impose that choice.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
| |
| be a consequence of the rest of this License.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
| |
| certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
| |
| original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
| |
| may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
| |
| those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
| |
| countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
| |
| the limitation as if written in the body of this License.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
| |
| of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
| |
| be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
| |
| address new problems or concerns.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
| |
| specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
| |
| later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
| |
| either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
| |
| Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
| |
| this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
| |
| Foundation.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
| |
| programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
| |
| to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
| |
| Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
| |
| make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
| |
| of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
| |
| of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <center>NO WARRANTY</center>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
| |
| FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
| |
| OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
| |
| PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
| |
| OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
| |
| MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
| |
| TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
| |
| PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
| |
| REPAIR OR CORRECTION.</blockquote>
| |
| | |
| <blockquote>12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
| |
| WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
| |
| REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
| |
| INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
| |
| OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
| |
| TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
| |
| YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
| |
| PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

| POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.</blockquote>
