duke@435	1	The GNU General Public License (GPL)
duke@435	2
duke@435	3	Version 2, June 1991

duke@435	7
duke@435	8	Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
duke@435	9	document, but changing it is not allowed.
duke@435	10
duke@435	11	Preamble
duke@435	12
duke@435	13	The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
duke@435	14	and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
duke@435	15	guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
duke@435	16	software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
duke@435	17	most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
duke@435	18	authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
duke@435	19	covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
duke@435	20	your programs, too.
duke@435	21
duke@435	22	When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
duke@435	23	General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
duke@435	24	distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
duke@435	25	that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
duke@435	26	the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
duke@435	27	can do these things.
duke@435	28
duke@435	29	To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
duke@435	30	you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
duke@435	31	translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
duke@435	32	software, or if you modify it.
duke@435	33
duke@435	34	For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
duke@435	35	a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
duke@435	36	make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
duke@435	37	show them these terms so they know their rights.
duke@435	38
duke@435	39	We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
duke@435	40	offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
duke@435	41	and/or modify the software.
duke@435	42
duke@435	43	Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
duke@435	44	everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
duke@435	45	software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
duke@435	46	know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
duke@435	47	by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
duke@435	48
duke@435	49	Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
duke@435	50	wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
duke@435	51	individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
duke@435	52	To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
duke@435	53	everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
duke@435	54
duke@435	55	The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
duke@435	56	follow.
duke@435	57
duke@435	58	TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
duke@435	59
duke@435	60	0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
duke@435	61	placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
duke@435	62	this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
duke@435	63	or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
duke@435	64	derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
duke@435	65	Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
duke@435	66	translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
duke@435	67	without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
duke@435	68	"you".
duke@435	69
duke@435	70	Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
duke@435	71	this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
duke@435	72	not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
duke@435	73	constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
duke@435	74	running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
duke@435	75
duke@435	76	1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
duke@435	77	you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
duke@435	78	appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
duke@435	79	disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
duke@435	80	and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
duke@435	81	Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
duke@435	82
duke@435	83	You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
duke@435	84	at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
duke@435	85
duke@435	86	2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
duke@435	87	forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
duke@435	88	or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
duke@435	89	these conditions:
duke@435	90
duke@435	91	a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
duke@435	92	that you changed the files and the date of any change.
duke@435	93
duke@435	94	b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
duke@435	95	in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
duke@435	96	licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
duke@435	97	this License.
duke@435	98
duke@435	99	c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
duke@435	100	you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
duke@435	101	most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
duke@435	102	appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
duke@435	103	else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
duke@435	104	the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
duke@435	105	of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
duke@435	106	not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
duke@435	107	not required to print an announcement.)
duke@435	108
duke@435	109	These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
duke@435	110	sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
duke@435	111	considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
duke@435	112	its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
duke@435	113	works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
duke@435	114	work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
duke@435	115	of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
duke@435	116	whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
duke@435	117
duke@435	118	Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
duke@435	119	rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
duke@435	120	right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
duke@435	121	the Program.
duke@435	122
duke@435	123	In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
duke@435	124	Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
duke@435	125	distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
duke@435	126	License.
duke@435	127
duke@435	128	3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
duke@435	129	Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
duke@435	130	2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
duke@435	131
duke@435	132	a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
duke@435	133	code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
duke@435	134	on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
duke@435	135
duke@435	136	b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
duke@435	137	give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
duke@435	138	performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
duke@435	139	corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
duke@435	140	and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
duke@435	141
duke@435	142	c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
duke@435	143	distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
duke@435	144	for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
duke@435	145	object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
duke@435	146	Subsection b above.)
duke@435	147
duke@435	148	The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
duke@435	149	modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
duke@435	150	the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
duke@435	151	definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
duke@435	152	of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
duke@435	153	distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
duke@435	154	source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
duke@435	155	of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
duke@435	156	itself accompanies the executable.
duke@435	157
duke@435	158	If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
duke@435	159	from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
duke@435	160	code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
duke@435	161	third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
duke@435	162
duke@435	163	4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
duke@435	164	expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
duke@435	165	sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
duke@435	166	your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
duke@435	167	rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
duke@435	168	long as such parties remain in full compliance.
duke@435	169
duke@435	170	5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
duke@435	171	However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
duke@435	172	or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
duke@435	173	accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
duke@435	174	any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
duke@435	175	do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
duke@435	176	the Program or works based on it.
duke@435	177
duke@435	178	6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
duke@435	179	the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
duke@435	180	copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
duke@435	181	You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
duke@435	182	rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
duke@435	183	third parties to this License.
duke@435	184
duke@435	185	7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
duke@435	186	infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
duke@435	187	are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
duke@435	188	contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
duke@435	189	conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
duke@435	190	simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
duke@435	191	obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
duke@435	192	For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
duke@435	193	of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
duke@435	194	you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
duke@435	195	refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
duke@435	196
duke@435	197	If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
duke@435	198	particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
duke@435	199	the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
duke@435	200
duke@435	201	It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
duke@435	202	other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
duke@435	203	section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
duke@435	204	distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
duke@435	205	people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
duke@435	206	distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
duke@435	207	system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
duke@435	208	distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
duke@435	209	choice.
duke@435	210
duke@435	211	This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
duke@435	212	consequence of the rest of this License.
duke@435	213
duke@435	214	8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
duke@435	215	countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
duke@435	216	copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
duke@435	217	geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
duke@435	218	distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
duke@435	219	such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
duke@435	220	of this License.
duke@435	221
duke@435	222	9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
duke@435	223	General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
duke@435	224	spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
duke@435	225	or concerns.
duke@435	226
duke@435	227	Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
duke@435	228	specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
duke@435	229	version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
duke@435	230	that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
duke@435	231	If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
duke@435	232	choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
duke@435	233
duke@435	234	10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
duke@435	235	whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
duke@435	236	permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
duke@435	237	write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
duke@435	238	Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
duke@435	239	all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
duke@435	240	software generally.
duke@435	241
duke@435	242	NO WARRANTY
duke@435	243
duke@435	244	11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
duke@435	245	THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
duke@435	246	STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
duke@435	247	PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
duke@435	248	INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
duke@435	249	FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
duke@435	250	PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
duke@435	251	YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
duke@435	252
duke@435	253	12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
duke@435	254	ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
duke@435	255	PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
duke@435	256	GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
duke@435	257	INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
duke@435	258	BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
duke@435	259	FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
duke@435	260	OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
duke@435	261
duke@435	262	END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
duke@435	263
duke@435	264	How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
duke@435	265
duke@435	266	If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
duke@435	267	use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
duke@435	268	which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
duke@435	269
duke@435	270	To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
duke@435	271	them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
duke@435	272	of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
duke@435	273	pointer to where the full notice is found.
duke@435	274
duke@435	275	One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
duke@435	276
duke@435	277	Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
duke@435	278
duke@435	279	This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
duke@435	280	under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
duke@435	281	Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
duke@435	282	any later version.
duke@435	283
duke@435	284	This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
duke@435	285	ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
duke@435	286	FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for
duke@435	287	more details.
duke@435	288
duke@435	289	You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
robilad@8438	290	with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
robilad@8438	291	51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
duke@435	292
duke@435	293	Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
duke@435	294
duke@435	295	If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
duke@435	296	starts in an interactive mode:
duke@435	297
duke@435	298	Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
duke@435	299	with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free
duke@435	300	software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
duke@435	301	type 'show c' for details.
duke@435	302
duke@435	303	The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
duke@435	304	parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
duke@435	305	called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
duke@435	306	mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
duke@435	307
duke@435	308	You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
duke@435	309	if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here
duke@435	310	is a sample; alter the names:
duke@435	311
duke@435	312	Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
duke@435	313	'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

duke@435	318
duke@435	319	This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
duke@435	320	proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
duke@435	321	consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
duke@435	322	library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
duke@435	323	License instead of this License.

duke@435	327
ohair@2527	328	Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are
ohair@2527	329	subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but
ohair@2527	330	only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header
ohair@2527	331	the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
ohair@2527	332	exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
duke@435	333
duke@435	334	Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
duke@435	335	a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of
duke@435	336	the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
duke@435	337
duke@435	338	As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
duke@435	339	permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
duke@435	340	executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
duke@435	341	and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
duke@435	342	choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
duke@435	343	the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent
duke@435	344	module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If
duke@435	345	you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
duke@435	346	the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
duke@435	347	so, delete this exception statement from your version.
