|---|
| 1311 | | |
|---|
| 1312 | | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
|---|
| 1313 | | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
|---|
| 1314 | | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
|---|
| 1315 | | software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
|---|
| 1316 | | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
|---|
| 1317 | | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
|---|
| 1318 | | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
|---|
| 1319 | | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
|---|
| 1320 | | your programs, too. |
|---|
| 1321 | | |
|---|
| 1322 | | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|---|
| 1323 | | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|---|
| 1324 | | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|---|
| 1325 | | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
|---|
| 1326 | | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
|---|
| 1327 | | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|---|
| 1328 | | |
|---|
| 1329 | | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
|---|
| 1330 | | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
|---|
| 1331 | | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
|---|
| 1332 | | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
|---|
| 1333 | | |
|---|
| 1334 | | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|---|
| 1335 | | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
|---|
| 1336 | | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
|---|
| 1337 | | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
|---|
| 1338 | | rights. |
|---|
| 1339 | | |
|---|
| 1340 | | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
|---|
| 1341 | | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
|---|
| 1342 | | distribute and/or modify the software. |
|---|
| 1343 | | |
|---|
| 1344 | | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
|---|
| 1345 | | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
|---|
| 1346 | | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
|---|
| 1347 | | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
|---|
| 1348 | | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
|---|
| 1349 | | authors' reputations. |
|---|
| 1350 | | |
|---|
| 1351 | | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
|---|
| 1352 | | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
|---|
| 1353 | | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
|---|
| 1354 | | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
|---|
| 1355 | | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|---|
| 1356 | | |
|---|
| 1357 | | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|---|
| 1358 | | modification follow. |

|---|
| 1369 | | This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
|---|
| 1370 | | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
|---|
| 1371 | | under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program,'' below, |
|---|
| 1372 | | refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' |
|---|
| 1373 | | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
|---|
| 1374 | | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
|---|
| 1375 | | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
|---|
| 1376 | | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
|---|
| 1377 | | the term ``modification.'') Each licensee is addressed as ``you.'' |
|---|
| 1378 | | |
|---|
| 1379 | | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|---|
| 1380 | | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|---|
| 1381 | | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|---|
| 1382 | | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|---|
| 1383 | | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|---|
| 1384 | | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|---|
| 1385 | | |
|---|
| 1386 | | @item |
|---|
| 1387 | | You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
|---|
| 1388 | | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
|---|
| 1389 | | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
|---|
| 1390 | | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
|---|
| 1391 | | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
|---|
| 1392 | | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
|---|
| 1393 | | along with the Program. |
|---|
| 1394 | | |
|---|
| 1395 | | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
|---|
| 1396 | | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|---|
| 1397 | | |
|---|
| 1398 | | @item |
|---|
| 1399 | | You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
|---|
| 1400 | | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
|---|
| 1401 | | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|---|
| 1402 | | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|---|
| 1403 | | |
|---|
| 1404 | | @enumerate a |
|---|
| 1405 | | @item |
|---|
| 1406 | | You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
|---|
| 1407 | | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|---|
| 1408 | | |
|---|
| 1409 | | @item |
|---|
| 1410 | | You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
|---|
| 1411 | | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
|---|
| 1412 | | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
|---|
| 1413 | | parties under the terms of this License. |
|---|
| 1414 | | |
|---|
| 1415 | | @item |
|---|
| 1416 | | If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
|---|
| 1417 | | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
|---|
| 1418 | | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
|---|
| 1419 | | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
|---|
| 1420 | | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
|---|
| 1421 | | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
|---|
| 1422 | | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
|---|
| 1423 | | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
|---|
| 1424 | | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
|---|
| 1425 | | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
|---|
| 1426 | | @end enumerate |
|---|
| 1427 | | |
|---|
| 1428 | | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|---|
| 1429 | | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
|---|
| 1430 | | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|---|
| 1431 | | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|---|
| 1432 | | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|---|
| 1433 | | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|---|
| 1434 | | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|---|
| 1435 | | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|---|
| 1436 | | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|---|
| 1437 | | |
|---|
| 1438 | | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|---|
| 1439 | | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|---|
| 1440 | | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|---|
| 1441 | | collective works based on the Program. |
|---|
| 1442 | | |
|---|
| 1443 | | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
|---|
| 1444 | | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
|---|
| 1445 | | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|---|
| 1446 | | the scope of this License. |
|---|
| 1447 | | |
|---|
| 1448 | | @item |
|---|
| 1449 | | You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
|---|
| 1450 | | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
|---|
| 1451 | | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|---|
| 1452 | | |
|---|
| 1453 | | @enumerate a |
|---|
| 1454 | | @item |
|---|
| 1455 | | Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
|---|
| 1456 | | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
|---|
| 1457 | | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|---|
| 1458 | | |
|---|
| 1459 | | @item |
|---|
| 1460 | | Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
|---|
| 1461 | | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
|---|
| 1462 | | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
|---|
| 1463 | | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
|---|
| 1464 | | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
|---|
| 1465 | | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|---|
| 1466 | | |
|---|
| 1467 | | @item |
|---|
| 1468 | | Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
|---|
| 1469 | | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
|---|
| 1470 | | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
|---|
| 1471 | | received the program in object code or executable form with such |
|---|
| 1472 | | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|---|
| 1473 | | @end enumerate |
|---|
| 1474 | | |
|---|
| 1475 | | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|---|
| 1476 | | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
|---|
| 1477 | | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
|---|
| 1478 | | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
|---|
| 1479 | | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
|---|
| 1480 | | special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
|---|
| 1481 | | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
|---|
| 1482 | | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
|---|
| 1483 | | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|---|
| 1484 | | itself accompanies the executable. |
|---|
| 1485 | | |
|---|
| 1486 | | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|---|
| 1487 | | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|---|
| 1488 | | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|---|
| 1489 | | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|---|
| 1490 | | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|---|
| 1491 | | |
|---|
| 1492 | | @item |
|---|
| 1493 | | You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
|---|
| 1494 | | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
|---|
| 1495 | | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
|---|
| 1496 | | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
|---|
| 1497 | | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
|---|
| 1498 | | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
|---|
| 1499 | | parties remain in full compliance. |
|---|
| 1500 | | |
|---|
| 1501 | | @item |
|---|
| 1502 | | You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|---|
| 1503 | | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|---|
| 1504 | | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
|---|
| 1505 | | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|---|
| 1506 | | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
|---|
| 1507 | | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|---|
| 1508 | | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|---|
| 1509 | | the Program or works based on it. |
|---|
| 1510 | | |
|---|
| 1511 | | @item |
|---|
| 1512 | | Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
|---|
| 1513 | | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|---|
| 1514 | | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
|---|
| 1515 | | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|---|
| 1516 | | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|---|
| 1517 | | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|---|
| 1518 | | this License. |
|---|
| 1519 | | |
|---|
| 1520 | | @item |
|---|
| 1521 | | If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|---|
| 1522 | | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|---|
| 1523 | | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|---|
| 1524 | | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|---|
| 1525 | | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|---|
| 1526 | | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|---|
| 1527 | | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|---|
| 1528 | | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
|---|
| 1529 | | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
|---|
| 1530 | | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|---|
| 1531 | | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|---|
| 1532 | | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|---|
| 1533 | | |
|---|
| 1534 | | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
|---|
| 1535 | | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
|---|
| 1536 | | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
|---|
| 1537 | | circumstances. |
|---|
| 1538 | | |
|---|
| 1539 | | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|---|
| 1540 | | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|---|
| 1541 | | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|---|
| 1542 | | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
|---|
| 1543 | | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|---|
| 1544 | | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|---|
| 1545 | | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|---|
| 1546 | | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|---|
| 1547 | | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|---|
| 1548 | | impose that choice. |
|---|
| 1549 | | |
|---|
| 1550 | | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|---|
| 1551 | | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|---|
| 1552 | | |
|---|
| 1553 | | @item |
|---|
| 1554 | | If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
|---|
| 1555 | | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|---|
| 1556 | | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
|---|
| 1557 | | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
|---|
| 1558 | | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
|---|
| 1559 | | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
|---|
| 1560 | | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
|---|
| 1561 | | |
|---|
| 1562 | | @item |
|---|
| 1563 | | The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
|---|
| 1564 | | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
|---|
| 1565 | | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
|---|
| 1566 | | address new problems or concerns. |
|---|
| 1567 | | |
|---|
| 1568 | | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|---|
| 1569 | | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any |
|---|
| 1570 | | later version,'' you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
|---|
| 1571 | | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
|---|
| 1572 | | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
|---|
| 1573 | | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
|---|
| 1574 | | Foundation. |

|---|
| 1577 | | If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |

|---|
| 1579 | | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
|---|
| 1580 | | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
|---|
| 1581 | | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
|---|
| 1582 | | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
|---|
| 1583 | | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |

| 1623 | | @unnumberedsec How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|---|
| 1624 | | |
|---|
| 1625 | | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|---|
| 1626 | | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
|---|
| 1627 | | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|---|
| 1628 | | |
|---|
| 1629 | | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
|---|
| 1630 | | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|---|
| 1631 | | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
|---|
| 1632 | | the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
