GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin

Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. Everyone is permitted

to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but

changing it is not allowed.

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.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that

everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If

the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its

recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any

problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’

reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.

We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will

individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program

proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must

be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

modification follow.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a

notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under

the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers

to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program”

means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:

that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either

verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language.

(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term

“modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not

covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running

the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is

covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program

(independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether

that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source

code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously

and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice

and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this

License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients

of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you

may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of

it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute

such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided

that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole

or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to

be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms

of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive

use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement

including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no

warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users

may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the

user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself

is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your

work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable

sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be

reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves,

then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when

you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the

same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program,

the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose

permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to

each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your

rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the

right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based

on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of

a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under

the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of

Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1

and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange;

or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give

any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically

performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of

the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of

Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software

interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to

distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only

for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in

object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with

Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for

making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source

code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any

associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control

compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special

exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is

normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major

components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on

which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies

the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to

copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy

the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source

code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source

along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program

except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise

to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will

automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties

who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not

have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full

compliance.
