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 Lesser 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' reputation.



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

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.

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.



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:

You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices

stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.



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.

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.

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:

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,



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,

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.

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.



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.

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.

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.



If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain

countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original

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.

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.
