+ 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> We protect your rights with two steps:
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p> copyright the software, and
+ </p></li><li><p> offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+ distribute and/or modify the software.
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
+ follow.
+ </p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="gpl-2"></a>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</h2></div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-0"></a>Section 0</h3></div></div></div><p> 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
+ “<span class="quote">work based on the Program
+ </span>” 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
+ “<span class="quote">modification
+ </span>”.) Each licensee is addressed as “<span class="quote">you</span>”.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-1"></a>Section 1</h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-2"></a>Section 2</h3></div></div></div><p> 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
+ <a href="gpl.html#gpl-2-1" title="Section 1">Section 1
+ </a> above, provided
+ that you also meet all of these conditions:
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p> You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
+ you changed the files and the date of any change.
+ </p></li><li><p> 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.
+ </p></li><li><p> 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.
+ </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Exception:
+ </h3><p> 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.)
+ </p></div><p>
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-3"></a>Section 3
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
+ <a href="gpl.html#gpl-2-2" title="Section 2">Section 2
+ </a> in object code or executable form under the terms of
+ <a href="gpl.html#gpl-2-1" title="Section 1">Sections 1
+ </a> and
+ <a href="gpl.html#gpl-2-2" title="Section 2">2
+ </a> above provided that you also do one of the following:
+ </p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p> 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,
+ </p></li><li><p> 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,
+ </p></li><li><p> 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.)
+ </p></li></ol></div><p>
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-4"></a>Section 4
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-5"></a>Section 5
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-6"></a>Section 6
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-7"></a>Section 7
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p><p> This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the
+ rest of this License.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-8"></a>Section 8
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-9"></a>Section 9
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-10"></a>Section 10
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.
+ </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="gpl-2-11"></a>NO WARRANTY Section 11
+ </h3></div></div></div><p> 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.

+ 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

+ </h2></div></div></div><p>
+ 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.
+ </p><p>
+ 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.
+ </p><p>
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+ Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+ </p><p>
+ 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.
+ </p><p>
+ 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.
+ </p><p>
+ 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., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
+ </p><p>
+ Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+ </p><p>
+ If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
+ when it starts in an interactive mode:
+ </p><p>
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year 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.
+ </p><p>
+ 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.
+ </p><p>
+ 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:
+ </p><p>
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+ `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+ </p><p>
+ <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+ Ty Coon, President of Vice
+ </p><p>
+ 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.
