GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
|
|
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
|
|
|
|
Preamble
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
|
modification follow.
|
|
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
|
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".
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
a. You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
|
|
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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:
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
|
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.)
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
|
|
to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
NO WARRANTY
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
|
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
=============================================
|
|
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
|
|
terms.
|
|
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
|
|
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
|
|
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
|
|
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
|
|
|
ONE LINE TO GIVE THE PROGRAM'S NAME AND A BRIEF IDEA OF WHAT IT DOES.
|
|
Copyright (C) YYYY NAME OF AUTHOR
|
|
|
|
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
|
|
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
|
|
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
|
|
(at your option) any later version.
|
|
|
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
|
|
GNU General Public License for more details.
|
|
|
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
|
|
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
|
|
Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.
|
|
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
|
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
|
|
when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
|
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19YY NAME OF AUTHOR
|
|
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
|
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
|
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
|
|
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
|
|
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
|
|
c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
|
|
program.
|
|
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
|
|
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
|
|
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
|
|
|
|
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
|
|
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
|
|
into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library,
|
|
you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary
|
|
applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the
|
|
GNU Library General Public License instead of this License.
