		7		GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
		8		Version 2, June 1991
		9
		10		Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
		11		51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
		12		Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
		13		of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
		14
		15		Preamble
		16
		17		The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
		18		freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
		19		License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
		20		software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
		21		General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
		22		Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
		23		using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
		24		the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
		25		your programs, too.
		26
		27		When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
		28		price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
		29		have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
		30		this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
		31		if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
		32		in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
		33
		34		To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
		35		anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
		36		These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
		37		distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
		38
		39		For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
		40		gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
		41		you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
		42		source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
		43		rights.
		44
		45		We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
		46		(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
		47		distribute and/or modify the software.
		48
		49		Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
		50		that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
		51		software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
		52		want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
		53		that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
		54		authors' reputations.
		55
		56		Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
		57		patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
		58		program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
		59		program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
		60		patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
		61
		62		The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
		63		modification follow.
		64
		65		GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
		66		TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
		67
		68		0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
		69		a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
		70		under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
		71		refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
		72		means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
		73		that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
		74		either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
		75		language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
		76		the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
		77
		78		Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
		79		covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
		80		running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
		81		is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
		82		Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
		83		Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
		84
		85		1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
		86		source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
		87		conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
		88		copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
		89		notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
		90		and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
		91		along with the Program.
		92
		93		You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
		94		you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
		95
		96		2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
		97		of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
		98		distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
		99		above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
		100
		101		a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
		102		stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
		103
		104		b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
		105		whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
		106		part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
		107		parties under the terms of this License.
		108
		109		c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
		110		when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
		111		interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
		112		announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
		113		notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
		114		a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
		115		these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
		116		License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
		117		does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
		118		the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
		119
		120		These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
		121		identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
		122		and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
		123		themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
		124		sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
		125		distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
		126		on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
		127		this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
		128		entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
		129
		130		Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
		131		your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
		132		exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
		133		collective works based on the Program.
		134
		135		In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
		136		with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
		137		a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
		138		the scope of this License.
		139
		140		3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
		141		under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
		142		Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
		143
		144		a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
		145		source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
		146		1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
		147
		148		b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
		149		years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
		150		cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
		151		machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
		152		distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
		153		customarily used for software interchange; or,
		154
		155		c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
		156		to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
		157		allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
		158		received the program in object code or executable form with such
		159		an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
		160
		161		The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
		162		making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
		163		code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
		164		associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
		165		control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
		166		special exception, the source code distributed need not include
		167		anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
		168		form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
		169		operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
		170		itself accompanies the executable.
		171
		172		If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
		173		access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
		174		access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
		175		distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
		176		compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
		177
		178		4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
		179		except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
		180		otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
		181		void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
		182		However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
		183		this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
		184		parties remain in full compliance.
		185
		186		5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
		187		signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
		188		distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
		189		prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
		190		modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
		191		Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
		192		all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
		193		the Program or works based on it.
		194
		195		6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
		196		Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
		197		original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
		198		these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
		199		restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
		200		You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
		201		this License.
		202
		203		7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
		204		infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
		205		conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
		206		otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
		207		excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
		208		distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
		209		License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
		210		may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
		211		license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
		212		all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
		213		the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
		214		refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
		215
		216		If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
		217		any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
		218		apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
		219		circumstances.
		220
		221		It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
		222		patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
		223		such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
		224		integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
		225		implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
		226		generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
		227		through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
		228		system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
		229		to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
		230		impose that choice.
		231
		232		This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
		233		be a consequence of the rest of this License.
		234
		235		8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
		236		certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
		237		original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
		238		may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
		239		those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
		240		countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
		241		the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
		242
		243		9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
		244		of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
		245		be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
		246		address new problems or concerns.
		247
		248		Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
		249		specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
		250		later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
		251		either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
		252		Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
		253		this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
		254		Foundation.
		255
		256		10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
		257		programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
		258		to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
		259		Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
		260		make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
		261		of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
		262		of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
		263
		264		NO WARRANTY
		265
		266		11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
		267		FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
		268		OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
		269		PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
		270		OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
		271		MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
		272		TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
		273		PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
		274		REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
		275
		276		12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
		277		WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
		278		REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
		279		INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
		280		OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
		281		TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
		282		YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
		283		PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
		284		POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
		285
		286		END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
		287
		288		How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
		289
		290		If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
		291		possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
		292		free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
		293
		294		To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
		295		to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
		296		convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
		297		the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
		298
		299		<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
		300		Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
		301
		302		This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
		303		it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
		304		the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
		305		(at your option) any later version.
		306
		307		This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
		308		but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
		309		MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
		310		GNU General Public License for more details.
		311
		312		You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
		313		along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
		314		Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
		315
		316
		317		Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
		318
		319		If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
		320		when it starts in an interactive mode:
		321
		322		Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
		323		Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
		324		This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
		325		under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
		326
		327		The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
		328		parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
		329		be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
		330		mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
		331
		332		You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
		333		school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
		334		necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
		335
		336		Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
		337		`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

		341
		342		This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
		343		proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
		344		consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
		345		library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
		346		Public License instead of this License.
