GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free
Software Foundation, Inc.
675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
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
Appendix: 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.>

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:

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.
