  1.             GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  2. Version 2, June 1991
  3. Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  4. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
  5. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  6. of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  7. Preamble
  8. The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
  9. freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
  10. License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
  11. software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
  12. General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
  13. Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
  14. using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
  15. the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
  16. your programs, too.
  17. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  18. price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
  19. have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
  20. this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
  21. if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
  22. in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
  23. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
  24. anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
  25. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
  26. distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
  27. For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
  28. gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
  29. you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
  30. source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
  31. rights.
  32. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
  33. (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
  34. distribute and/or modify the software.
  35. Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
  36. that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
  37. software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
  38. want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
  39. that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
  40. authors' reputations.
  41. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
  42. patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
  43. program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
  44. program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
  45. patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
  46. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  47. modification follow.
  48. GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  49. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
  50. 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
  51. a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
  52. under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
  53. refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
  54. means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
  55. that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
  56. either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
  57. language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
  58. the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
  59. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  60. covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
  61. running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
  62. is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
  63. Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
  64. Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
  65. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
  66. source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
  67. conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
  68. copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
  69. notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
  70. and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
  71. along with the Program.
  72. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
  73. you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
  74. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
  75. of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  76. distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  77. above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  78. a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  79. stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  80. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  81. whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  82. part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  83. parties under the terms of this License.
  84. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  85. when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  86. interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  87. announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  88. notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
  89. a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  90. these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  91. License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
  92. does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  93. the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  94. These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  95. identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
  96. and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  97. themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  98. sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  99. distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  100. on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  101. this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  102. entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  103. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  104. your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  105. exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  106. collective works based on the Program.
  107. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
  108. with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
  109. a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  110. the scope of this License.
  111. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  112. under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  113. Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  114. a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  115. source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  116. 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  117. b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  118. years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  119. cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  120. machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  121. distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  122. customarily used for software interchange; or,
  123. c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  124. to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
  125. allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  126. received the program in object code or executable form with such
  127. an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  128. The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  129. making modifications to If the Program
  130. specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
  131. later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  132. either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  133. Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
  134. this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  135. Foundation.
  136. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  137. programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  138. to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  139. Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
  140. make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
  141. of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
  142. of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  143. NO WARRANTY
  144. 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
  145. FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
  146. OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
  147. PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
  148. OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  149. MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
  150. TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
  151. PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
  152. REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  153. 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
  154. WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
  155. REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  156. INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
  157. OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
  158. TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
  159. YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
  160. PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISEublished by
  161. the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
  162. (at your option) any later version.
  163. This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
  164. but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
  165. MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
  166. GNU General Public License for more details.
  167. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
  168. along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
  169. Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
  170. Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
  171. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
  172. when it starts in an interactive mode:
  173. Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
  174. Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
  175. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
  176. under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
  177. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
  178. parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
  179. be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
  180. mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
  181. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
  182. school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
  183. necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
  184. Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  185. `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
  186. <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
  187. Ty Coon, President of Vice
  188. This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
  189. proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
  190. consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
  191. library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
  192. Public License instead of this License.
