33 * Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
34 * of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
35 *
36 * Preamble
37 *
38 * The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
39 * freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
40 * License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
41 * software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
42 * General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
43 * Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
44 * using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
45 * the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
46 * your programs, too.
47 *
48 * When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
49 * price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
50 * have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
51 * this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
52 * if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
53 * in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
54 *
55 * To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
56 * anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
57 * These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
58 * distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
59 *
60 * For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
61 * gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
62 * you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
63 * source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
64 * rights.
65 *
66 * We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
67 * (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
68 * distribute and/or modify the software.
69 *
70 * Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
71 * that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
72 * software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
73 * want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
74 * that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
75 * authors' reputations.
76 *
77 * Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
78 * patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
79 * program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
80 * program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
81 * patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
82 *
83 * The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
84 * modification follow.
85 *
86 * GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
87 * TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
88 *
89 * 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
90 * a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
91 * under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
92 * refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
93 * means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
94 * that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
95 * either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
96 * language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
97 * the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
98 *
99 * Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
100 * covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
101 * running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
102 * is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
103 * Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
104 * Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
105 *
106 * 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
107 * source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
108 * conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
109 * copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
110 * notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
111 * and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
112 * along with the Program.
113 *
114 * You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
115 * you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
116 *
117 * 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
118 * of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
119 * distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
120 * above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
121 *
122 * a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
123 * stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
124 *
125 * b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
126 * whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
127 * part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
128 * parties under the terms of this License.
129 *
130 * c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
131 * when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
132 * interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
133 * announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
134 * notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
135 * a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
136 * these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
137 * License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
138 * does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
139 * the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
140 *
141 * These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
142 * identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
143 * and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
144 * themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
145 * sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
146 * distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
147 * on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
148 * this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
149 * entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
150 *
151 * Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
152 * your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
153 * exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
154 * collective works based on the Program.
155 *
156 * In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
157 * with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
158 * a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
159 * the scope of this License.
160 *
161 * 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
162 * under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
163 * Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
164 *
165 * a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
166 * source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
167 * 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
168 *
169 * b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
170 * years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
171 * cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
172 * machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
173 * distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
174 * customarily used for software interchange; or,
175 *
176 * c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
177 * to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
178 * allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
179 * received the program in object code or executable form with such
180 * an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
181 *
182 * The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
183 * making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
184 * code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
185 * associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
186 * control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
187 * special exception, the source code distributed need not include
188 * anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
189 * form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
190 * operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
191 * itself accompanies the executable.
192 *
193 * If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
194 * access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
195 * access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
196 * distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
197 * compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
198 *
199 * 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
200 * except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
201 * otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
202 * void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
203 * However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
204 * this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
205 * parties remain in full compliance.
206 *
207 * 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
208 * signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
209 * distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
210 * prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
211 * modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
212 * Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
213 * all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
214 * the Program or works based on it.
215 *
216 * 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
217 * Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
218 * original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
219 * these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
220 * restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
221 * You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
222 * this License.
223 *
224 * 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
225 * infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
226 * conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
227 * otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
228 * excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
229 * distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
230 * License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
231 * may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
232 * license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
233 * all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
234 * the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
235 * refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
236 *
237 * If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
238 * any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
239 * apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
240 * circumstances.
241 *
242 * It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
243 * patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
244 * such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
245 * integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
246 * implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
247 * generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
248 * through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
249 * system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
250 * to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
251 * impose that choice.
252 *
253 * This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
254 * be a consequence of the rest of this License.
255 *
256 * 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
257 * certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
258 * original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
259 * may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
260 * those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
261 * countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
262 * the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
263 *
264 * 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
265 * of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
266 * be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
267 * address new problems or concerns.
268 *
269 * Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
270 * specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
271 * later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
272 * either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
273 * Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
274 * this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
275 * Foundation.
276 *
277 * 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
278 * programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
279 * to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
280 * Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
281 * make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
282 * of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
283 * of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
284 *
285 * NO WARRANTY
286 *
287 * 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
288 * FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
289 * OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
290 * PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
291 * OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
292 * MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
293 * TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
294 * PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
295 * REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
296 *
297 * 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
298 * WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
299 * REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
300 * INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
301 * OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
302 * TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
303 * YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
304 * PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
305 * POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
306 *
307 * END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
308 *
309 * How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
310 *
311 * If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
312 * possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
313 * free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
314 *
315 * To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
316 * to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
317 * convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
318 * the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
319 *
320 * <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
321 * Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
322 *
323 * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
324 * it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
325 * the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
326 * (at your option) any later version.
327 *
328 * This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
329 * but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
330 * MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
331 * GNU General Public License for more details.
332 *
333 * You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
334 * along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
335 * Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
336 *
337 *
338 * Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
339 *
340 * If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
341 * when it starts in an interactive mode:
342 *
343 * Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
344 * Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
345 * This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
346 * under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
347 *
348 * The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
349 * parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
350 * be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
351 * mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
352 *
353 * You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
354 * school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
355 * necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
356 *
357 * Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
358 * `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
359 *
360 * >signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
361 * Ty Coon, President of Vice
362 *
363 * This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
364 * proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
365 * consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
366 * library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
367 * Public License instead of this License.
