Version 2, June 1991<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59<br>
|
|
Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111 USA<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of<br>
|
|
this license document, but changing it is not allowed.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Preamble<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your<br>
|
|
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General<br>
|
|
Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share<br>
|
|
and change free software--to make sure the software is free for<br>
|
|
all its users. This General Public License applies to most of<br>
|
|
the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program<br>
|
|
whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software<br>
|
|
Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public<br>
|
|
License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not<br>
|
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure<br>
|
|
that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software<br>
|
|
(and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive<br>
|
|
source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change<br>
|
|
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that<br>
|
|
you know you can do these things.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid<br>
|
|
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the<br>
|
|
rights. These restrictions translate to certain<br>
|
|
responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the<br>
|
|
software, or if you modify it.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether<br>
|
|
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights<br>
|
|
that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or<br>
|
|
can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so<br>
|
|
they know their rights.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the<br>
|
|
software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal<br>
|
|
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make<br>
|
|
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for<br>
|
|
this free software. If the software is modified by someone else<br>
|
|
and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they<br>
|
|
have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by<br>
|
|
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software<br>
|
|
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a<br>
|
|
free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect<br>
|
|
making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made<br>
|
|
it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free<br>
|
|
use or not licensed at all.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and<br>
|
|
modification follow.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE<br>
|
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work which<br>
|
|
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may<br>
|
|
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.<br>
|
|
The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a<br>
|
|
"work based on the Program" means either the Program or any<br>
|
|
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work<br>
|
|
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or<br>
|
|
with modifications and/or translated into another language.<br>
|
|
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the<br>
|
|
term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are<br>
|
|
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The<br>
|
|
act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output<br>
|
|
from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a<br>
|
|
work based on the Program (independent of having been made by<br>
|
|
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the<br>
|
|
Program does.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's<br>
|
|
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you<br>
|
|
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an<br>
|
|
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep<br>
|
|
intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the<br>
|
|
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the<br>
|
|
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a<br>
|
|
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in<br>
|
|
exchange for a fee.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any<br>
|
|
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and<br>
|
|
copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms<br>
|
|
of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these<br>
|
|
conditions:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices<br>
|
|
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that<br>
|
|
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or<br>
|
|
any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all<br>
|
|
third parties under the terms of this License.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively<br>
|
|
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such<br>
|
|
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an<br>
|
|
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a<br>
|
|
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you<br>
|
|
provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program<br>
|
|
under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy<br>
|
|
of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is<br>
|
|
interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,<br>
|
|
your work based on the Program is not required to print an<br>
|
|
announcement.)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If<br>
|
|
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the<br>
|
|
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and<br>
|
|
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,<br>
|
|
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as<br>
|
|
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as<br>
|
|
part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the<br>
|
|
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,<br>
|
|
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire<br>
|
|
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote<br>
|
|
it.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or<br>
|
|
contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the<br>
|
|
intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of<br>
|
|
derivative or collective works based on the Program.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the<br>
|
|
Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program)<br>
|
|
on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring<br>
|
|
the other work under the scope of this License.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on<br>
|
|
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the<br>
|
|
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of<br>
|
|
the following:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable<br>
|
|
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of<br>
|
|
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software<br>
|
|
interchange; or,<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three<br>
|
|
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your<br>
|
|
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete<br>
|
|
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be<br>
|
|
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a<br>
|
|
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the<br>
|
|
offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This<br>
|
|
alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and<br>
|
|
only if you received the program in object code or executable<br>
|
|
form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work<br>
|
|
for making modifications to it. For an executable work,<br>
|
|
complete source code means all the source code for all modules<br>
|
|
it contains, plus any associated interface definition files,<br>
|
|
plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of<br>
|
|
the executable. However, as a special exception, the source<br>
|
|
code distributed need not include anything that is normally<br>
|
|
distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major<br>
|
|
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system<br>
|
|
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself<br>
|
|
accompanies the executable.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering<br>
|
|
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent<br>
|
|
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as<br>
|
|
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are<br>
|
|
not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the<br>
|
|
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any<br>
|
|
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the<br>
|
|
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights<br>
|
|
under this License. However, parties who have received copies,<br>
|
|
or rights, from you under this License will not have their<br>
|
|
licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full<br>
|
|
compliance.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have<br>
|
|
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to<br>
|
|
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These<br>
|
|
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.<br>
|
|
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work<br>
|
|
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this<br>
|
|
License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,<br>
|
|
distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on<br>
|
|
the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license<br>
|
|
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the<br>
|
|
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not<br>
|
|
impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of<br>
|
|
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for<br>
|
|
enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of<br>
|
|
patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to<br>
|
|
patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court<br>
|
|
order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of<br>
|
|
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this<br>
|
|
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy<br>
|
|
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other<br>
|
|
pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not<br>
|
|
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license<br>
|
|
would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by<br>
|
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you,<br>
|
|
then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License<br>
|
|
would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable<br>
|
|
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is<br>
|
|
intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to<br>
|
|
apply in other circumstances.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe<br>
|
|
any patents or other property right claims or to contest<br>
|
|
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose<br>
|
|
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution<br>
|
|
system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many<br>
|
|
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of<br>
|
|
software distributed through that system in reliance on<br>
|
|
consistent application of that system; it is up to the<br>
|
|
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute<br>
|
|
software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose<br>
|
|
that choice.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is<br>
|
|
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted<br>
|
|
in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted<br>
|
|
interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program<br>
|
|
under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution<br>
|
|
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is<br>
|
|
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such<br>
|
|
case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in<br>
|
|
the body of this License.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new<br>
|
|
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such<br>
|
|
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,<br>
|
|
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the<br>
|
|
Program specifies a version number of this License which applies<br>
|
|
to it and "any later version", you have the option of following<br>
|
|
the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later<br>
|
|
version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the<br>
|
|
Program does not specify a version number of this License, you<br>
|
|
may choose any version ever published by the Free Software<br>
|
|
Foundation.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other<br>
|
|
free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write<br>
|
|
to the author to ask for permission. For software which is<br>
|
|
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free<br>
|
|
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our<br>
|
|
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free<br>
|
|
status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting<br>
|
|
the sharing and reuse of software generally.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
NO WARRANTY<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO<br>
|
|
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE<br>
|
|
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT<br>
|
|
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT<br>
|
|
WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,<br>
|
|
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY<br>
|
|
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE<br>
|
|
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE<br>
|
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY<br>
|
|
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO<br>
|
|
IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY<br>
|
|
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE<br>
|
|
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,<br>
|
|
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR<br>
|
|
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS<br>
|
|
OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY<br>
|
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH<br>
|
|
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN<br>
|
|
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the<br>
|
|
greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve<br>
|
|
this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute<br>
|
|
and change under these terms.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is<br>
|
|
safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most<br>
|
|
effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file<br>
|
|
should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where<br>
|
|
the full notice is found.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what<br>
|
|
it does.> Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author><br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This program is free software; you can redistribute it<br>
|
|
and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public<br>
|
|
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either<br>
|
|
version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,<br>
|
|
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of<br>
|
|
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the<br>
|
|
GNU General Public License for more details.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public<br>
|
|
License along with this program; if not, write to the Free<br>
|
|
Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston,<br>
|
|
MA 02111 USA<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and<br>
|
|
paper mail.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice<br>
|
|
like this when it starts in an interactive mode:<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author<br>
|
|
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type<br>
|
|
`show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to<br>
|
|
redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for<br>
|
|
details.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the<br>
|
|
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the<br>
|
|
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and<br>
|
|
`show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu<br>
|
|
items--whatever suits your program.<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer)<br>
|
|
or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the<br>
