|

|

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

282
|
+ How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
|
|
283
|
+
|
|
|
284
|
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
|
|
285
|
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
|
|
286
|
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
|
|
287
|
+
|
|
|
288
|
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
|
|
289
|
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
|
|
290
|
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
|
|
291
|
+the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
|
|
292
|
+
|
|
|
293
|
+ <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

|
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
|
|
|
311
|
+
|
|
|
312
|
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
|
|
|
313
|
+when it starts in an interactive mode:
|
|
|
314
|
+
|
|
|
315
|
+ Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
|
|
|
316
|
+ Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
|
|
|
317
|
+ This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
|
|
|
318
|
+ under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
|
|
|
319
|
+
|
|
|
320
|
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
|
|
321
|
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
|
|
|
322
|
+be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
|
|
|
323
|
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
|
|
|
324
|
+
|
|
|
325
|
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
|
|
|
326
|
+school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
|
|
|
327
|
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

337
