Eve ryone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim
co pies of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
P reamble
The licenses fo r most software are designed to take away
you r freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU
Gene ral Public License is intended to guarantee your
f reedom to share and change free software--to make sure
the softwa re is free for all its users. This General Public
License a pplies to most of the Free Software Foundation's
softwa re and to any other program whose authors commit
to using it. (Some othe r Free Software Foundation software
is cove red by the GNU Lesser General Public License
instead.) You can a pply it to your programs, too.
When we s peak of free software, we are referring to
f reedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are
designed to make su re that you have the freedom to
dist ribute copies of free software (and charge for this
se rvice if you wish), that you receive source code or can get
it if you want it, that you can change the softwa re 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
fo rbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to
su rrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
softwa
re, or if you modify it.
Fo r example, if you distribute copies of such a program,
whethe r 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 te
rms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the
softwa re, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, fo
r each author's protection and ours, we want to
make ce rtain that everyone understands that there is no
wa rranty 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 o riginal, so that any
problems introduced by others will not reflect on the
o
riginal authors' reputations.
Finally, any f ree program is threatened constantly by
softwa re 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 fo r everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution
and modification follow.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION
AND MODIFICATION
0. This License a
pplies to any program or other work
which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder
saying it may be dist ributed under the terms of this
Gene ral Public License. The "Program", below, refers to
any such program or work, and a "work based on the
P rogram" means either the Program or any derivative
wo rk under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the P rogram or a portion of it, either
ve rbatim or with modifications and/or translated into
anothe r language. (Hereinafter, translation is included
without limitation in the te rm "modification".) Each
licensee is add ressed as "you".
Activities othe r than copying, distribution and
modification a re not covered by this License; they are
outside its sco pe. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered
only if its contents constitute a wo
rk based on the
P rogram (independent of having been made by running
the P rogram). Whether that is true depends on what the
P rogram does.
1. You may co py and distribute verbatim copies of the
P rogram's source code as you receive it, in any
medium, provided that you conspicuously and
a ppropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
co pyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any wa rranty; and give any other recipients
of the P rogram a copy of this License along with the
P rogram.
You may cha rge a fee for the physical act of transferring
a co py, and you may at your option offer warranty
protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify you r copy or copies of the Program or
any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the
P rogram, and copy and distribute such modifications or
wo rk under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that
you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to ca
rry prominent
notices stating that you changed the files and the
date of any change.
b) You must cause any wo rk that you distribute or
publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived
f
rom the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed
as a whole at no cha rge to all third parties under the
te rms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands
inte ractively when run, you must cause it, when
sta rted running for such interactive use in the most
o rdinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an a ppropriate copyright notice and a
notice that the re is no warranty (or else, saying that
you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and
telling the use
r how to view a copy of this License.
(Exce ption: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not no rmally print such an announcement, your
wo rk 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 wo rk are not derived from the
P rogram, and can be reasonably considered independent
and se parate works in themselves, then this License, and
its te rms, do not apply to those sections when you
dist ribute them as separate works. But when you distribute
the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the P rogram, the distribution of the whole must be on
the te rms of this License, whose permissions for other
licensees extend to the enti re whole, and thus to each and
eve ry part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or
contest you r rights to work written entirely by you; rather,
the intent is to exe rcise the right to control the distribution
of de rivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, me re aggregation of another work not based on
the P rogram with the Program (or with a work based on the
P rogram) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not b ring the other work under the scope of this
License.
3. You may co
py and distribute the Program (or a work
based on it, unde r Section 2) in object code or
executable fo rm under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accom pany it with the complete corresponding
machine- readable source code, which must be
dist ributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
on a medium customa rily used for software
inte rchange; or,
b) Accom pany it with a written offer, valid for at least
th ree years, to give any third party, for a charge no
mo re than your cost of physically performing source
dist ribution, a complete machine-readable copy of
the co rresponding source code, to be distributed
unde r the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customa rily used for software interchange;
o r,
c) Accom pany it with the information you received as to
the offe r to distribute corresponding source code.
(This alte rnative is allowed only for noncommercial
dist ribution and only if you received the program in
object code o r executable form with such an offer, in
acco rd with Subsection b above.)
The sou rce code for a work means the preferred form of the
wo rk for making modifications to it. For an executable
wo rk, 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. Howeve r, as a special
exce ption, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is no rmally distributed (in either source or
bina ry form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
and so on) of the o perating system on which the executable
runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If dist
ribution of executable or object code is made by
offe ring access to copy from a designated place, then
offe ring equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place counts as distribution of the source code, even
though thi rd parties are not compelled to copy the source
along with the object code.
4. You may not co
py, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
P rogram except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attem pt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense o r distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically te rminate your rights under this License.
Howeve r, parties who have received copies, or rights,
f rom you under this License will not have their licenses
te rminated so long as such parties remain in full
com pliance.
5. You a re not required to accept this License, since you
have not signed it. Howeve r, nothing else grants you
permission to modify or distribute the Program or its
de
rivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if
you do not acce pt this License. Therefore, by modifying
o r distributing the Program (or any work based on the
P rogram), you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so, and all its te rms and conditions for copying,
dist ributing or modifying the Program or works based
on it.
6 Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work
based on the P rogram), the recipient automatically
receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
dist
ribute or modify the Program subject to these terms
and conditions. You may not im pose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights
g
ranted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
com pliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a cou rt judgment or allegation
of patent infringement or for any other reason (not
limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whethe r by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
cont radict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you f rom the conditions of this License. If you
cannot dist ribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your
obligations unde r this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not
dist
ribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of
the P rogram by all those who receive copies directly or
indi rectly through you, then the only way you could
satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain
enti rely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or
unenfo rceable under any particular circumstance, the
balance of the section is intended to a pply and the
section as a whole is intended to a pply in other
ci rcumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to
inf ringe 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
softwa re distribution system, which is implemented by
public license practices. Many people have made
gene
rous contributions to the wide range of software
dist ributed through that system in reliance on
consistent a pplication of that system; it is up to the
autho r/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
dist ribute software through any other system and a
licensee cannot im pose that choice.
This section is intended to make tho roughly clear what
is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this
License.
8. If the dist ribution and/or use of the Program is
restricted in certain countries either by patents or by
co
pyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an
ex plicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those count ries, so that distribution is permitted only in
o r among countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License inco rporates the limitation as if written in
the body of this License.
9. The F ree Software Foundation may publish revised and/
o r new versions of the General Public License from time
to time. Such new ve rsions will be similar in spirit to the
present version, but may differ in detail to address new
problems or concerns.
Each ve
rsion is given a distinguishing version number.
If the P rogram specifies a version number of this
License which a pplies to it and "any later version", you
have the o ption of following the terms and conditions
eithe r of that version or of any later version published by
the F ree Software Foundation. If the Program does not
s pecify a version number of this License, you may
choose any ve rsion ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.
10. If you wish to inco rporate parts of the Program into
othe r free programs whose distribution conditions are
diffe rent, write to the author to ask for permission. For
softwa re which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, w rite to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exce ptions for this. Our decision will
be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
of all de rivatives of our free software and of promoting
the sha ring 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 A pply These Terms to Your New Programs
If you develo p a new program, and you want it to be of the
g reatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve
this is to make it f ree software which everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms.
