on the Program), you indicate your
acceptance of this License to do so. and all

its terms and conditions for copying,

distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.

. Each time you redistribute the Program (or

any work based on the Program), tlie
recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute
or modify the Program subject to these
terms and conditions. You may not impose
any further restrictions on the recipients'
exercise of the rights granted herein. You
are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.

if. as a consequence of a court judgment or

allegation of patent infringement or for any
other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by
court order, agreement or otherwise) that
contradict the conditions of this License,
they do not excuse you from the conditions
of this License. If you cannot distribute so as
to satisfy simultaneously your obligations
under this License and any otlier pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may
not distribute the Program at all. For
example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the
Program by all those who receive copies
directly or indirectly through you, then the
only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain enlirely from
distribution of the Program.

if any portion of this section is held invalid

or unenforceable under any paiticular
ciretimstance. the balance of the section is

intended to apply and the section as a whole
is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce

you to infringe any piitents or other property
right claims or to contest validity of any

such claims; this section has the sole

pLiipose of protecting the integrity of the
free software distribution system, which is

implemented by public license practices.

Many people have made generous
contributions to the wide range of software
distributed through that system in reliance
on coiisislent application of that system; it is
up to the author/doiior to decide if he or she

is willing to distribute software through any

other system and a licensee cannot impose
that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly
clear what is believed to be a consequence
of the rest of this License.

.

If the distribution and/or use of the Program
is restricted in certain countries either by

patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the
Program under this License may add an
explicit geographical distribution limitation
excluding those countries, so that
distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case,
this License incorporates the limitalion as if
written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish

revised and/or new versions of the General
Public License from tijne to time. Such new
versions will be sijnilar in spirit to the
present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing
version number. If the Program specifies a
version number of this License which
applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any

later version published by the Free Software

Foiiiidatioii. If the Program does not specify
a version number of this License, you may
choose any version ever published by the
Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the

Program into other free programs vvhose
distribution conditions are different, write to
the author to ask for permission. For

software which is copyrighted by the Free

Software Foundation, write to the Free
Software Foundation; we sometimes make
exeepfions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of preserving the
free status of all derivatives of our free

software and of promoting the sharing and

reuse of software generally.

♦END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

♦How to Apply These Terms to Your

New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want il to

be of the greatest possible use to the public, the
best way to achieve this is to make it free

software which everyone can redistribute and

change under these terms.
To do so. attach the following notices to the

program. It is safesl to attach them to the start of

each source fde to most effectiv^ely convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each file should have

at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to
where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program’s name and an

idea of what il does.>

If the program is interactive, make it oulpiit a
short notice like this when it starts in an
interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69. Copyright (C)
year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY
NO WARRANTY: for details type 'show
vv\ This is free software, and you arc
welcome to redistribute it under certain
conditions; type "show c’ for details.

The hypothetical commands 'show w' and ‘show
c' should show the appropriate parts of the
General Public License. Of course, the
commands you use may be called something
other than ‘show w' and ‘show c'; they could
even be mouse-clicks or menu items-vvhatever

suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work
as a programiTier) or your school, if any, to sign
a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
necessary. Here is a sample; alter Ihe names:
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright

interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which

makes passes at compilers) written by James

Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit

ineoqTorating your program into proprietary

programs. If your program is a subroutine

library, you nuiy consider it more useful to

permit linking proprietary applications with the

library. If this is what you want to do. use the

GNU Lesser General Public License instead of
this License.

♦Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to
take away your freedom to share and change it.

By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses

are intended to guarantee your freedom to share
and change free software-to make sure the

software is free for all its users. This license, the

Lesser General Public License, applies to some

specially designated software paekages-typieally
librarles-of Ihe Free Software Foundation and

other authors who decide to use it. You can use it
too. but we suggest you first think carefully about
whether this license or the ordinary General
Public License is the belter slrategy to use in any
parlicularease, based on the explanations below.
When we speak of free software, we are referring
to freedom of use. 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 gel it if you w'ant il;
that you can change Ihe soflwarc and use pieces
of it ill new free programs; and that you arc

informed that you can do Ihesc things.

To protect your rights, we need to make
restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you
these rights or to ask you to surrender these
rights. These restrictions translate to certain
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of
the library or if you modify it.
For example, if you disiribiite copies of the

library, whether gratis or for a fee. you must give

the recipients all Ihe rights that we gave you. You
inusl make sure lhat they, too, receive or can gel
the source code. If you link other code with tlie

library. you must provide complete object files to

the recipients, so that they can relink them with
the library after makimi ehanies lo the library
