23 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom
24 to share and change it. By contrast, the gnu General Public License
25 is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
26 software - to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
27 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
28 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit
29 to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered
30 by the gnu Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it
31 to your programs, too.
32
33 </para><para>
34
35 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
36 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
37 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
38 for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can
39 get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces
40 of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these
41 things.
42
43 </para><para>
44
45 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
46 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
47 rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
48 you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
49
50 </para><para>
51
52 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
53 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
54 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
55 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
56 rights.
57
58 </para><para>
59
60 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
61 and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to
62 copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
63
64 </para><para>
65
66 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
67 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
68 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on,
69 we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the
70 original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect
71 on the original authors' reputations.
72
73 </para><para>
74
75 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
76 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
77 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making
78 the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that
79 any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed
80 at all.

99 This License applies to any program or other work which contains a
100 notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
101 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
102 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
103 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
104 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
105 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
106 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
107 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
108
109 </para><para>
110
111 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
112 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
113 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the
114 Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on
115 the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
116 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
117
118 </para></listitem>
119 <listitem><para>
120
121 You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
122 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
123 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
124 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
125 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
126 warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this
127 License along with the Program.
128
129 </para><para>
130
131 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
132 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
133 fee.
134
135 </para></listitem>
136 <listitem><para>
137
138 You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
139 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
140 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
141 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
142
143 </para><para>
144
145 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
146 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
147
148 </para><para>
149
150 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
151 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
152 thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
153 under the terms of this License.
154
155 </para><para>
156
157 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
158 run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
159 in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
160 including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is
161 no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that
162 users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and
163 telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if
164 the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an
165 announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
166 an announcement.)
167
168 </para><para>
169
170 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
171 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
172 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
173 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
174 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
175 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
176 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
177 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
178 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
179 it.
180
181 </para><para>
182
183 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
184 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
185 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
186 collective works based on the Program.
187
188 </para><para>
189
190 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the
191 Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a
192 volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other
193 work under the scope of this License.
194
195 </para></listitem>
196 <listitem><para>
197
198 You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
199 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
200 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the
201 following:
202
203 </para><para>
204
205 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
206 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
207 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;
208 or,
209
210 </para><para>
211
212 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years,
213 to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of
214 physically performing source distribution, a complete
215 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
216 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
217 customarily used for software interchange; or,
218
219 </para><para>
220
221 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
222 distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed
223 only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the
224 program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in
225 accord with Subsection b above.)
226
227 </para><para>
228
229 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
230 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
231 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
232 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
233 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
234 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
235 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
236 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
237 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
238 itself accompanies the executable.
239
240 </para><para>
241
242 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
243 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
244 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
245 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
246 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
247
248 </para></listitem>
249 <listitem><para>
250
251 You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
252 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
253 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
254 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
255 License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from
256 you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
257 long as such parties remain in full compliance.
258
259 </para></listitem>
260 <listitem><para>
261
262 You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
263 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
264 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
265 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
266 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
267 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
268 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
269 the Program or works based on it.
270
271 </para></listitem>
272 <listitem><para>
273
274 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
275 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
276 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject
277 to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
278 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
279 herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third
280 parties to this License.
281
282 </para></listitem>
283 <listitem><para>
284
285 If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
286 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
287 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
288 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do
289 not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
290 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
291 this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
292 consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example,
293 if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
294 the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly
295 through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
296 License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the
297 Program.

301 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
302 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended
303 to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other

306 </para><para>
307
308 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
309 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
310 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
311 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
312 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
313 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
314 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
315 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
316 willing to distribute software through any other system and a
317 licensee cannot impose that choice.

322 be a consequence of the rest of this License.

325 <listitem><para>
326
327 If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
328 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
329 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
330 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
331 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
332 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
333 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

338 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
339 versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
340 versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
341 differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is
342 given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a
343 version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
344 version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
345 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
346 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
347 of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the
348 Free Software Foundation.

351 <listitem><para>
352
353 If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
354 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
355 author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by
356 the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;
357 we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by
358 the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our
359 free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software
360 generally.

369 because the program is licensed free of charge, there is no
370 warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
371 except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or
372 other parties provide the program "as is" without warranty of any
373 kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the
374 implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular
375 purpose. the entire risk as to the quality and performance of the
376 program is with you. should the program prove defective, you assume

382 in no event unless required by applicable law or agreed to in

384 and/or redistribute the program as permitted above, be liable to you
385 for damages, including any general, special, incidental or
386 consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use the
387 program (including but not limited to loss of data or data being
388 rendered inaccurate or losses sustained by you or third parties or a
389 failure of the program to operate with any other programs), even if

405 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest

412 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
413 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively

505 to do, use the gnu Library General Public License instead of this
506 License.
