35 """ 36 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 37 Version 2, June 1991 38 39 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 40 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA 41 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 42 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 43 44 Preamble 45 46 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 47 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public 48 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 49 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 50 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 51 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 52 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 53 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 54 your programs, too. 55 56 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 57 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 58 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 59 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 60 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 61 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 62 63 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 64 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 65 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 66 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 67 68 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 69 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 70 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 71 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 72 rights. 73 74 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 75 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 76 distribute and/or modify the software. 77 78 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 79 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 80 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 81 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 82 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 83 authors' reputations. 84 85 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 86 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 87 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 88 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 89 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 90 91 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 92 modification follow. 93 94 95 96 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 97 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 98 99 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 100 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 101 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 102 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 103 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 104 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 105 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 106 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 107 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 108 109 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 110 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 111 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 112 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 113 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 114 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 115 116 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 117 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 118 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 119 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 120 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 121 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 122 along with the Program. 123 124 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 125 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 126 127 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 128 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 129 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 130 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 131 132 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 133 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 134 135 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 136 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 137 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 138 parties under the terms of this License. 139 140 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 141 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 142 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 143 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 144 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 145 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 146 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 147 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 148 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 149 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 150 151 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 152 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 153 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 154 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 155 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 156 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 157 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 158 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 159 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 160 161 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 162 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 163 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 164 collective works based on the Program. 165 166 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 167 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 168 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 169 the scope of this License. 170 171 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 172 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 173 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 174 175 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 176 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 177 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 178 179 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 180 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 181 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 182 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 183 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 184 customarily used for software interchange; or, 185 186 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 187 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 188 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 189 received the program in object code or executable form with such 190 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 191 192 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 193 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 194 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 195 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 196 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 197 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 198 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 199 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 200 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 201 itself accompanies the executable. 202 203 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 204 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 205 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 206 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 207 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 208 209 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 210 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 211 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 212 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 213 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 214 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 215 parties remain in full compliance. 216 217 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 218 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 219 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 220 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 221 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 222 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 223 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 224 the Program or works based on it. 225 226 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 227 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 228 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 229 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 230 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 231 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 232 this License. 233 234 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 235 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 236 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 237 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 238 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 239 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 240 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 241 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 242 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 243 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 244 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 245 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 246 247 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 248 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 249 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 250 circumstances. 251 252 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 253 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 254 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 255 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 256 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 257 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 258 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 259 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 260 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 261 impose that choice. 262 263 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 264 be a consequence of the rest of this License. 265 266 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 267 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 268 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 269 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 270 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 271 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 272 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 273 274 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 275 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 276 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 277 address new problems or concerns. 278 279 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 280 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 281 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 282 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 283 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 284 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 285 Foundation. 286 287 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 288 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 289 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 290 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 291 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 292 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 293 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 294 295 NO WARRANTY 296 297 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 298 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 299 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 300 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 301 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 302 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 303 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 304 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 305 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 306 307 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 308 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 309 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 310 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 311 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 312 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 313 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 314 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 315 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 316 317 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 318 319 320 321 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 322 323 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 324 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it 325 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 326 327 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest 328 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively 329 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 330 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 331 332 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 333 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> 334 335 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 336 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 337 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 338 (at your option) any later version. 339 340 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 341 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 342 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 343 GNU General Public License for more details. 344 345 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 346 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 347 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA 348 349 350 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 351 352 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 353 when it starts in an interactive mode: 354 355 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author 356 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 357 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 358 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 359 360 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate 361 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may 362 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be 363 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. 364 365 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 366 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 367 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: 368 369 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 370 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. 371 372 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 373 Ty Coon, President of Vice 374 375 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into 376 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may 377 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the 378 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General 379 Public License instead of this License. 380 """ 381 return
