- </para>
- <section>
- <title>Preamble</title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- We protect your rights with two steps:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- copyright the software, and
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
- distribute and/or modify the software.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
- modification follow.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
- </title>
- <section>
- <title>Section 0</title>
- <para>
- 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
- <quote>work based on the Program
- </quote> 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
- <quote>modification
- </quote>.) Each licensee is addressed as <quote>you</quote>.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 1</title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 2</title>
- <para>
- 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:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
- stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- <blockquote>
- <title>Exception:
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.)
- </para>
- </blockquote>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 3
- </title>
- <para>
- 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:
- </para>
- <itemizedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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,
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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,
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para>
- 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.)
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </itemizedlist>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 4
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 5
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 6
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 7
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- <para>
- This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
- be a consequence of the rest of this License.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 8
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 9
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para>
- </section>
- <section>
- <title>Section 10
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.

- 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

- EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED
- WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

- DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM
- (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED

- <title>How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
- </title>
- <para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it
- does.>
- Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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
- </para><para>
- Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
- </para><para>
- If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
- when it starts in an interactive mode:
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
- </para><para>
- 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.
