0014 Version 1, February 1989
0015
0016 Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
0017 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
0018 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
0019 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
0020
0021 Preamble
0022
0023 The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
0024 at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public
0025 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
0026 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The
0027 General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
0028 software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
0029 You can use it for your programs, too.
0030
0031 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
0032 price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
0033 sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
0034 software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
0035 that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
0036 programs; and that you know you can do these things.
0037
0038 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
0039 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
0040 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
0041 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
0042
0043 For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
0044 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
0045 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
0046 source code. And you must tell them their rights.
0047
0048 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
0049 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
0050 distribute and/or modify the software.
0051
0052 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
0053 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
0054 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
0055 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
0056 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
0057 authors' reputations.
0058
0059 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
0060 modification follow.
0061
0062 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
0063 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0064
0065 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
0066 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
0067 distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
0068 "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
0069 on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
0070 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each
0071 licensee is addressed as "you".
0072
0073 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
0074 code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
0075 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
0076 disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
0077 General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
0078 other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
0079 along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
0080 transferring a copy.
0081
0082 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
0083 it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
0084 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
0085
0086 a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
0087 you changed the files and the date of any change; and
0088
0089 b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
0090 in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
0091 with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
0092 third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
0093 that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
0094 third parties, at your option).
0095
0096 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
0097 run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
0098 in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
0099 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
0100 that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
0101 warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
0102 conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
0103 Public License.
0104
0105 d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
0106 copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
0107 exchange for a fee.
0108
0109 Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
0110 derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
0111 the other work under the scope of these terms.
0112
0113 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
0114 it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
0115 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
0116
0117 a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
0118 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
0119 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
0120
0121 b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
0122 years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
0123 for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
0124 corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
0125 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
0126
0127 c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
0128 corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
0129 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
0130 received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
0131
0132 Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
0133 modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means
0134 all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
0135 exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
0136 libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
0137 file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
0138 accompany that operating system.
0139
0140 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
0141 Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
0142 Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
0143 the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
0144 the Program under this License. However, parties who have received
0145 copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
0146 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
0147 remain in full compliance.
0148
0149 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
0150 on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
0151 and all its terms and conditions.
0152
0153 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
0154 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
0155 licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
0156 terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
0157 recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
0158
0159 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
0160 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
0161 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
0162 address new problems or concerns.
0163
0164 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
0165 specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
0166 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
0167 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
0168 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
0169 the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
0170 Foundation.
0171
0172 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
0173 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
0174 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
0175 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
0176 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
0177 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
0178 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
0179
0180 NO WARRANTY
0181
0182 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
0183 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
0184 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
0185 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
0186 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
0187 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
0188 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
0189 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
0190 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
0191
0192 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
0193 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
0194 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
0195 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
0196 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
0197 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
0198 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
0199 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
0200 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
0201
0202 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0203
0204 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
0205
0206 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
0207 possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
0208 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
0209 terms.
0210
0211 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
0212 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
0213 the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
0214 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
0215
0216 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
0217 Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
0218
0219 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
0220 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
0221 the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
0222 any later version.
0223
0224 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
0225 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
0226 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
0227 GNU General Public License for more details.
0228
0229 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
0230 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
0231 Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
0232
0233 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
0234
0235 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
0236 when it starts in an interactive mode:
0237
0238 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
0239 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
0240 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
0241 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
0242
0243 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
0244 appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
0245 commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
0246 c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
0247 program.
0248
0249 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
0250 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
0251 necessary. Here a sample; alter the names:
0252
0253 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
0254 program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
0255 at assemblers) written by James Hacker.
0256

0260 That's all there is to it!
