1.6 +Version 2, June 1991
1.7 +

1.9 +59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1.10 +
1.11 +Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
1.12 +document, but changing it is not allowed.
1.13 +
1.14 +Preamble
1.15 +
1.16 +The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
1.17 +and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
1.18 +guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
1.19 +software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to
1.20 +most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
1.21 +authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
1.22 +covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
1.23 +your programs, too.
1.24 +
1.25 +When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
1.26 +General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
1.27 +distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
1.28 +that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
1.29 +the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
1.30 +can do these things.
1.31 +
1.32 +To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
1.33 +you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
1.34 +translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
1.35 +software, or if you modify it.
1.36 +
1.37 +For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
1.38 +a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must
1.39 +make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must
1.40 +show them these terms so they know their rights.
1.41 +
1.42 +We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
1.43 +offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
1.44 +and/or modify the software.
1.45 +
1.46 +Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
1.47 +everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
1.48 +software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
1.49 +know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
1.50 +by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
1.51 +
1.52 +Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
1.53 +wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
1.54 +individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
1.55 +To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
1.56 +everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
1.57 +
1.58 +The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
1.59 +follow.
1.60 +
1.61 +TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1.62 +
1.63 +0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
1.64 +placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
1.65 +this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program
1.66 +or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
1.67 +derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
1.68 +Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
1.69 +translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
1.70 +without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
1.71 +"you".
1.72 +
1.73 +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
1.74 +this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
1.75 +not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
1.76 +constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
1.77 +running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1.78 +
1.79 +1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
1.80 +you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
1.81 +appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
1.82 +disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
1.83 +and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
1.84 +Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
1.85 +
1.86 +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
1.87 +at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
1.88 +
1.89 +2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
1.90 +forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
1.91 +or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
1.92 +these conditions:
1.93 +
1.94 + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
1.95 + that you changed the files and the date of any change.
1.96 +
1.97 + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
1.98 + in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
1.99 + licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
1.100 + this License.
1.101 +
1.102 + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
1.103 + you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
1.104 + most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
1.105 + appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
1.106 + else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
1.107 + the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
1.108 + of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
1.109 + not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
1.110 + not required to print an announcement.)
1.111 +
1.112 +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
1.113 +sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
1.114 +considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
1.115 +its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
1.116 +works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
1.117 +work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
1.118 +of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
1.119 +whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
1.120 +
1.121 +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
1.122 +rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
1.123 +right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
1.124 +the Program.
1.125 +
1.126 +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
1.127 +Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
1.128 +distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
1.129 +License.
1.130 +
1.131 +3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
1.132 +Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
1.133 +2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
1.134 +
1.135 + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
1.136 + code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
1.137 + on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1.138 +
1.139 + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
1.140 + give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
1.141 + performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
1.142 + corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
1.143 + and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
1.144 +
1.145 + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
1.146 + distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only
1.147 + for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
1.148 + object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
1.149 + Subsection b above.)
1.150 +
1.151 +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
1.152 +modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all
1.153 +the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
1.154 +definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
1.155 +of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code
1.156 +distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
1.157 +source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
1.158 +of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
1.159 +itself accompanies the executable.
1.160 +
1.161 +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
1.162 +from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
1.163 +code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
1.164 +third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1.165 +
1.166 +4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
1.167 +expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
1.168 +sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
1.169 +your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
1.170 +rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
1.171 +long as such parties remain in full compliance.
1.172 +
1.173 +5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
1.174 +However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
1.175 +or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
1.176 +accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
1.177 +any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
1.178 +do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
1.179 +the Program or works based on it.
1.180 +
1.181 +6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
1.182 +the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
1.183 +copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
1.184 +You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
1.185 +rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
1.186 +third parties to this License.
1.187 +
1.188 +7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
1.189 +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
1.190 +are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
1.191 +contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
1.192 +conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
1.193 +simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
1.194 +obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
1.195 +For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
1.196 +of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
1.197 +you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
1.198 +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
1.199 +
1.200 +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
1.201 +particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
1.202 +the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
1.203 +
1.204 +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
1.205 +other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
1.206 +section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
1.207 +distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
1.208 +people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
1.209 +distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
1.210 +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
1.211 +distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
1.212 +choice.
1.213 +
1.214 +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
1.215 +consequence of the rest of this License.
1.216 +
1.217 +8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
1.218 +countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
1.219 +copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
1.220 +geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
1.221 +distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
1.222 +such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
1.223 +of this License.
1.224 +
1.225 +9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
1.226 +General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
1.227 +spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
1.228 +or concerns.
1.229 +
1.230 +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
1.231 +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
1.232 +version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
1.233 +that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
1.234 +If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
1.235 +choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
1.236 +
1.237 +10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
1.238 +whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
1.239 +permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
1.240 +write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
1.241 +Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
1.242 +all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
1.243 +software generally.
1.244 +
1.245 +NO WARRANTY
1.246 +
1.247 +11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
1.248 +THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
1.249 +STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
1.250 +PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
1.251 +INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
1.252 +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
1.253 +PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
1.254 +YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
1.255 +
1.256 +12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
1.257 +ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
1.258 +PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
1.259 +GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
1.260 +INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
1.261 +BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
1.262 +FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
1.263 +OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
1.264 +
1.265 +END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.266 +
1.267 +How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
1.268 +
1.269 +If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
1.270 +use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
1.271 +which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
1.272 +
1.273 +To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach
1.274 +them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
1.275 +of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
1.276 +pointer to where the full notice is found.
1.277 +
1.278 + One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
1.279 +
1.280 + Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
1.281 +
1.282 + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
1.283 + under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
1.284 + Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
1.285 + any later version.
1.286 +
1.287 + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
1.288 + ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
1.289 + FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for
1.290 + more details.
1.291 +
1.292 + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
1.293 + with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59
1.294 + Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
1.295 +
1.296 +Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
1.297 +
1.298 +If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
1.299 +starts in an interactive mode:
1.300 +
1.301 + Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
1.302 + with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free
1.303 + software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
1.304 + type 'show c' for details.
1.305 +
1.306 +The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
1.307 +parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
1.308 +called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
1.309 +mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
1.310 +
1.311 +You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
1.312 +if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here
1.313 +is a sample; alter the names:
1.314 +
1.315 + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
1.316 + 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1.321 +
1.322 +This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
1.323 +proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
1.324 +consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
1.325 +library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
1.326 +License instead of this License.
1.327 +
1.328 +
1.329 +"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
1.330 +
1.331 +Certain source files distributed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. are subject to
1.332 +the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but only where
1.333 +Sun has expressly included in the particular source file's header the words
1.334 +"Sun designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath" exception
1.335 +as provided by Sun in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
1.336 +
1.337 + Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
1.338 + a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of
1.339 + the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
1.340 +
1.341 + As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
1.342 + permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
1.343 + executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
1.344 + and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
1.345 + choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
1.346 + the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent
1.347 + module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If
1.348 + you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
1.349 + the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do
1.350 + so, delete this exception statement from your version.
