GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 
Version 2, June 1991 
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

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
