Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |

Preamble |
| 10 |
|
|
|
| 11 |
|
|
The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users |
| 12 |
|
|
at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public |
| 13 |
|
|
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
| 14 |
|
|
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The |
| 15 |
|
|
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's |
| 16 |
|
|
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. |
| 17 |
|
|
You can use it for your programs, too. |
| 18 |
|
|
|
| 19 |
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
| 20 |
|
|
price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make |
| 21 |
|
|
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free |
| 22 |
|
|
software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, |
| 23 |
|
|
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free |
| 24 |
|
|
programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
| 25 |
|
|
|
| 26 |
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
| 27 |
|
|
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
| 28 |
|
|
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
| 29 |
|
|
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
| 30 |
|
|
|
| 31 |
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether |
| 32 |
|
|
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
| 33 |
|
|
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
| 34 |
|
|
source code. And you must tell them their rights. |
| 35 |
|
|
|
| 36 |
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
| 37 |
|
|
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
| 38 |
|
|
distribute and/or modify the software. |
| 39 |
|
|
|
| 40 |
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
| 41 |
|
|
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
| 42 |
|
|
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
| 43 |
|
|
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
| 44 |
|
|
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
| 45 |
|
|
authors' reputations. |
| 46 |
|
|
|
| 47 |
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
| 48 |
|
|
modification follow. |

|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| 52 |
|
|
|
| 53 |
|
|
0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which |
| 54 |
|
|
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be |
| 55 |
|
|
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The |
| 56 |
|
|
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based |
| 57 |
|
|
on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the |
| 58 |
|
|
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each |
| 59 |
|
|
licensee is addressed as "you". |
| 60 |
|
|
|
| 61 |
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source |
| 62 |
|
|
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| 63 |
|
|
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and |
| 64 |
|
|
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this |
| 65 |
|
|
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any |
| 66 |
|
|
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License |
| 67 |
|
|
along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of |
| 68 |
|
|
transferring a copy. |
| 69 |
|
|
|
| 70 |
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of |
| 71 |
|
|
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph |
| 72 |
|
|
1 above, provided that you also do the following: |
| 73 |
|
|
|
| 74 |
|
|
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that |
| 75 |
|
|
you changed the files and the date of any change; and |
| 76 |
|
|
|
| 77 |
|
|
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that |
| 78 |
|
|
in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either |
| 79 |
|
|
with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all |
| 80 |
|
|
third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except |
| 81 |
|
|
that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all |
| 82 |
|
|
third parties, at your option). |
| 83 |
|
|
|
| 84 |
|
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when |
| 85 |
|
|
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use |
| 86 |
|
|
in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an |
| 87 |
|
|
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice |
| 88 |
|
|
that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a |
| 89 |
|
|
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these |
| 90 |
|
|
conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General |
| 91 |
|
|
Public License. |
| 92 |
|
|
|
| 93 |
|
|
d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a |
| 94 |
|
|
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in |
| 95 |
|
|
exchange for a fee. |
| 96 |
|
|
|
| 97 |
|
|
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its |
| 98 |
|
|
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring |
| 99 |
|
|
the other work under the scope of these terms. |
| 100 |
|
|
|
| 101 |
|
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of |
| 102 |
|
|
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
| 103 |
|
|
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
| 104 |
|
|
|
| 105 |
|
|
a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
| 106 |
|
|
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of |
| 107 |
|
|
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| 108 |
|
|
|
| 109 |
|
|
b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
| 110 |
|
|
years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge |
| 111 |
|
|
for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the |
| 112 |
|
|
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of |
| 113 |
|
|
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, |
| 114 |
|
|
|
| 115 |
|
|
c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the |
| 116 |
|
|
corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is |
| 117 |
|
|
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
| 118 |
|
|
received the program in object code or executable form alone.) |
| 119 |
|
|
|
| 120 |
|
|
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
| 121 |
|
|
modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means |
| 122 |
|
|
all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special |
| 123 |
|
|
exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard |
| 124 |
|
|
libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable |
| 125 |
|
|
file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that |
| 126 |
|
|
accompany that operating system. |
| 127 |
|
|
|
| 128 |
|
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the |
| 129 |
|
|
Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. |
| 130 |
|
|
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer |
| 131 |
|
|
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use |
| 132 |
|
|
the Program under this License. However, parties who have received |
| 133 |
|
|
copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public |
| 134 |
|
|
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties |
| 135 |
|
|
remain in full compliance. |
| 136 |
|
|
|
| 137 |
|
|
5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based |
| 138 |
|
|
on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, |
| 139 |
|
|
and all its terms and conditions. |
| 140 |
|
|
|
| 141 |
|
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
| 142 |
|
|
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original |
| 143 |
|
|
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these |
| 144 |
|
|
terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the |
| 145 |
|
|
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
| 146 |
|
|
|
| 147 |
|
|
7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
| 148 |
|
|
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
| 149 |
|
|
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
| 150 |
|
|
address new problems or concerns. |
| 151 |
|
|
|
| 152 |
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
| 153 |
|
|
specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any |
| 154 |
|
|
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
| 155 |
|
|
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
| 156 |
|
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
| 157 |
|
|
the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
| 158 |
|
|
Foundation. |
| 159 |
|
|
|
| 160 |
|
|
8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
| 161 |
|
|
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
| 162 |
|
|
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
| 163 |
|
|
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
| 164 |
|
|
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
| 165 |
|
|
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
| 166 |
|
|
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
| 167 |
|
|
|
| 168 |
|
|
NO WARRANTY |
| 169 |
|
|
|
| 170 |
|
|
9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
| 171 |
|
|
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
| 172 |
|
|
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
| 173 |
|
|
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
| 174 |
|
|
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
| 175 |
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
| 176 |
|
|
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
| 177 |
|
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
| 178 |
|
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| 179 |
|
|
|
| 180 |
|
|
10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
| 181 |
|
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
| 182 |
|
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
| 183 |
|
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
| 184 |
|
|
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
| 185 |
|
|
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
| 186 |
|
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
| 187 |
|
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
| 188 |
|
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| 189 |
|
|
|
| 190 |
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| 191 |
|
|
|
| 192 |
|
|
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| 193 |
|
|
|
| 194 |
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
| 195 |
|
|
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
| 196 |
|
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these |
| 197 |
|
|
terms. |
| 198 |
|
|
|
| 199 |
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to |
| 200 |
|
|
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey |
| 201 |
|
|
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the |
| 202 |
|
|
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| 203 |
|
|
|
| 204 |
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |

| 212 |
|

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
| 213 |
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
| 214 |

|
| 221 |
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| 222 |
|
|
|
| 223 |
|
|
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
| 224 |
|
|
when it starts in an interactive mode: |
| 225 |
|
|
|
| 226 |

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the |

appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the |
| 233 |
|
|
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show |
| 234 |
|

c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your |
| 235 |
|
|
program. |
| 236 |
|
|
|
| 237 |
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
| 238 |
|
|
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
| 239 |
|
|
necessary. Here a sample; alter the names: |
