| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
| document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| 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 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' reputations. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| |
| 0. 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. |
| |
| 1. 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. |
| |
| 2. 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: |
| |
| a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that |
| you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| |
| b) 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. |
| |
| c) 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. |
| |
| 3. 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: |
| |
| a) 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, |
| |
| b) 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, |
| |
| c) 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. |
| |
| 4. 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. |
| |
| 5. 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. |
| |
| 6. 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. |
| |
| 7. 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. |
| |
| 8. 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. |
| |
| 9. 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. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does. Copyright |
| (C) yyyy name of author |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. Also add information on how |
| to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when |
| it starts in an interactive mode: |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| 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: |
| |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' |
| (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |
