PREAMBLE


The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share

and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of

the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using

it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library
General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.


When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our

General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that
you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the

software 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 forbid anyone to deny

you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate
to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you

modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 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 terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer
you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or

modify the software.
