==========================
17+
18+
_Version 2, June 1991_
19+
_Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,_
20+
_51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA_
21+
22+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
23+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
24+
25+
### Preamble
26+
27+
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
28+
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
29+
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
30+
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
31+
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
32+
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
33+
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
34+
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
35+
your programs, too.
36+
37+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
38+
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
39+
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
40+
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
41+
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
42+
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
43+
44+
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
45+
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
46+
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
47+
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
48+
49+
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
50+
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
51+
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
52+
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
53+
rights.
54+
55+
We protect your rights with two steps: **(1)** copyright the software, and
56+
**(2)** offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
57+
distribute and/or modify the software.
58+
59+
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
60+
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
61+
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
62+
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
63+
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
64+
authors' reputations.
65+
66+
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
67+
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
68+
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
69+
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
70+
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
71+
72+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
73+
modification follow.
74+
75+
### TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
76+
77+
**0.** This License applies to any program or other work which contains
78+
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
79+
under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below,
80+
refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program”
81+
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
82+
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
83+
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
84+
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
85+
the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
86+
87+
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
88+
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
89+
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
90+
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
91+
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
92+
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
93+
94+
**1.** You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
95+
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
96+
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
97+
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
98+
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
99+
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
100+
along with the Program.
101+
102+
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
103+
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
104+
105+
**2.** You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
106+
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
107+
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
108+
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
109+
110+
* **a)** You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
111+
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
112+
* **b)** You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
113+
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
114+
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
115+
parties under the terms of this License.
116+
* **c)** If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
117+
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
118+
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
119+
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
120+
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
121+
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
122+
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
123+
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
124+
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
125+
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
126+
127+
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
128+
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
129+
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
130+
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
131+
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
132+
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
133+
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
134+
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
135+
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
136+
137+
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
138+
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
139+
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
140+
collective works based on the Program.
141+
142+
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
143+
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
144+
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
145+
the scope of this License.
146+
147+
**3.** You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
148+
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
149+
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
150+
151+
* **a)** Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
152+
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
153+
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
154+
* **b)** Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
155+
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
156+
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
157+
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
158+
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
159+
customarily used for software interchange; or,
160+
* **c)** Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
161+
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
162+
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
163+
received the program in object code or executable form with such
164+
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
165+
166+
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
167+
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
168+
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
169+
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
170+
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
171+
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
172+
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
173+
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
174+
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
175+
itself accompanies the executable.
176+
177+
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
178+
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
179+
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
180+
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
181+
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
182+
183+
**4.** You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
184+
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
185+
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
186+
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
187+
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
188+
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
189+
parties remain in full compliance.
190+
191+
**5.** You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
192+
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
193+
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
194+
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
195+
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
196+
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
197+
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
198+
the Program or works based on it.
199+
200+
**6.** Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
201+
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
202+
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
203+
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
204+
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
205+
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
206+
this License.
207+
208+
**7.** If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
209+
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
210+
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
211+
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
212+
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
213+
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
214+
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
215+
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
216+
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
217+
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
218+
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
219+
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
220+
221+
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
222+
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
223+
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
224+
circumstances.
225+
226+
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
227+
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
228+
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
229+
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
230+
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
231+
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
232+
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
233+
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
234+
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
235+
impose that choice.
236+
237+
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
238+
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
239+
240+
**8.** If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
241+
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
242+
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
243+
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
244+
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
245+
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
246+
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
247+
248+
**9.** The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
249+
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
250+
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
251+
address new problems or concerns.
252+
253+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
254+
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any
255+
later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions
256+
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
257+
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
258+
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
259+
Foundation.
260+
261+
**10.** If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
262+
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
263+
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
264+
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
265+
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
266+
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
267+
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
268+
269+
### NO WARRANTY
270+
271+
**11.** BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
272+
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
273+
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
274+
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
275+
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
276+
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
277+
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
278+
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
279+
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
280+
281+
**12.** IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
282+
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
283+
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
284+
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
285+
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
286+
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
287+
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
288+
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
289+
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
290+
291+
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
292+
293+
### How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
294+
295+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
296+
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
297+
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
298+
299+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
300+
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
301+
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
302+
the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
303+
304+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
305+
Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
306+
307+
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
308+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
309+
the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
310+
(at your option) any later version.
311+
312+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
313+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
314+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
315+
GNU General Public License for more details.
316+
317+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
318+
with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
319+
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
320+
321+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
322+
323+
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
324+
when it starts in an interactive mode:
325+
326+
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
327+
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
328+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
329+
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
330+
331+
The hypothetical commands `show w` and `show c` should show the appropriate
332+
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
333+
be called something other than `show w` and `show c`; they could even be
334+
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
335+
336+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
337+
school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if
338+
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
339+
340+
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
341+
`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
342+
343+
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
344+
Ty Coon, President of Vice
345+
346+
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
347+
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
348+
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
349+
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
350+
Public License instead of this License.
