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 modifi cations and/or translated into another

language. (Hereinafter, translation is included

without limitation in the term “modifi cation”.) Each

licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and

modifi cation 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 modifi cations or work under the terms of

Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of

these conditions:

a) You must cause the modifi ed fi les to carry

prominent notices stating that you changed the

fi les 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 modifi ed 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

free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying,

distribution and modifi cation follow.

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 modifi ed work as

a whole. If identifi able 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 non-

commercial distribution and only if you received

the program in object code or executable form with

such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
