6 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
|

|
9 Preamble |
|
10 |
|
11 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
|
12 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
|
13 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
|
14 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
|
15 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
|
16 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
|
17 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
|
18 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
|
19 your programs, too. |
|
20 |
|
21 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
|
22 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
|
23 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
|
24 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
|
25 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
|
26 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
|
27 |
|
28 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
|
29 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
|
30 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
|
31 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
|
32 |
|
33 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
|
34 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
|
35 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
|
36 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
|
37 rights. |
|
38 |
|
39 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
|
40 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
|
41 distribute and/or modify the software. |
|
42 |
|
43 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
|
44 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
|
45 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
|
46 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
|
47 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
|
48 authors' reputations. |
|
49 |
|
50 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
|
51 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
|
52 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
|
53 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
|
54 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
|
55 |
|
56 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
|
57 modification follow. |
|
58 |
|
59 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
|
60 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
|
61 |
|
62 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
|
63 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
|
64 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
|
65 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
|
66 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
|
67 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
|
68 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
|
69 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
|
70 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
|
71 |
|
72 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
|
73 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
|
74 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
|
75 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
|
76 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
|
77 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
|
78 |
|
79 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
|
80 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
|
81 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
|
82 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
|
83 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
|
84 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
|
85 along with the Program. |
|
86 |
|
87 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
|
88 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
|
89 |
|
90 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
|
91 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
|
92 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
|
93 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
94 |
|
95 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
|
96 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
|
97 |
|
98 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
|
99 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
|
100 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
|
101 parties under the terms of this License. |
|
102 |
|
103 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
|
104 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
|
105 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
|
106 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
|
107 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
|
108 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
|
109 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
|
110 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
|
111 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
|
112 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
|
113 |
|
114 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
|
115 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
|
116 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
|
117 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
|
118 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
|
119 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
|
120 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
|
121 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
|
122 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
|
123 |
|
124 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
|
125 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
|
126 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
|
127 collective works based on the Program. |
|
128 |
|
129 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
|
130 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
|
131 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
|
132 the scope of this License. |
|
133 |
|
134 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
|
135 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
|
136 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
|
137 |
|
138 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
|
139 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
|
140 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
141 |
|
142 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
|
143 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
|
144 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
|
145 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
|
146 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
|
147 customarily used for software interchange; or, |
|
148 |
|
149 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
|
150 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
|
151 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
|
152 received the program in object code or executable form with such |
|
153 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
|
154 |
|
155 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
|
156 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
|
157 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
|
158 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
|
159 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
|
160 special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
|
161 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
|
162 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
|
163 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
|
164 itself accompanies the executable. |
|
165 |
|
166 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
|
167 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
|
168 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
|
169 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
|
170 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
|
171 |
|
172 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
|
173 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
|
174 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
|
175 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
|
176 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
|
177 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
|
178 parties remain in full compliance. |
|
179 |
|
180 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
|
181 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
|
182 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
|
183 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
|
184 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
|
185 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
|
186 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
|
187 the Program or works based on it. |
|
188 |
|
189 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
|
190 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
|
191 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
|
192 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
|
193 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
|
194 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
|
195 this License. |
|
196 |
|
197 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
|
198 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
|
199 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
200 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
|
201 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
|
202 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
|
203 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
|
204 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
|
205 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
|
206 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
|
207 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
|
208 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
|
209 |
|
210 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
|
211 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
|
212 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
|
213 circumstances. |
|
214 |
|
215 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
|
216 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
|
217 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
|
218 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
|
219 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
|
220 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
|
221 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
|
222 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
|
223 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
|
224 impose that choice. |
|
225 |
|
226 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
|
227 be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
|
228 |
|
229 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
|
230 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
|
231 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
|
232 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
|
233 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
|
234 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
|
235 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
|
236 |
|
237 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
|
238 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
|
239 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
|
240 address new problems or concerns. |
|
241 |
|
242 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|
243 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
|
244 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
|
245 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
|
246 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
|
247 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
|
248 Foundation. |
|
249 |
|
250 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
|
251 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
|
252 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
|
253 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
|
254 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
|
255 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
|
256 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
|
257 |
|
258 NO WARRANTY |
|
259 |
|
260 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
|
261 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
|
262 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
|
263 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
|
264 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
|
265 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
|
266 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
|
267 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
|
268 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
269 |
|
270 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
|
271 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
|
272 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
|
273 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
|
274 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
|
275 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
|
276 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
|
277 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
|
278 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
279 |
|
280 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
281 |
|
282 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|
283 |
|
284 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
|
285 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
|
286 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|
287 |
|
288 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
|
289 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
|
290 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
|
291 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
292 |
|
293 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
294 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
295 |
|
296 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
|
297 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
|
298 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
|
299 (at your option) any later version. |
|
300 |
|
301 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
302 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
303 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
|
304 GNU General Public License for more details. |
|
305 |
|
306 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
|
307 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |
|
308 Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
|
309 |
|
310 |
|
311 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
312 |
|
313 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
|
314 when it starts in an interactive mode: |
|
315 |
|
316 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
|
317 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
|
318 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
|
319 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
320 |
|
321 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
322 parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
|
323 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
|
324 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
|
325 |
|
326 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
|
327 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
|
328 necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |
|
329 |
|
330 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
|
331 `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |
|
332 |
|
333 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 |
|
334 Ty Coon, President of Vice |
|
335 |
|
336 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
|
337 proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
|
338 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
|
339 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General |
|
340 Public License instead of this License. |

39 Preamble |
|
40 |
|
41 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and |
|
42 other kinds of works. |
|
43 |
|
44 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to |
|
45 take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU |
|
46 General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change |
|
47 all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its |
|
48 users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for |
|
49 most of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its |
|
50 authors. You can apply it to your programs, too. |
|

|
52 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our |
|
53 General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
|
54 distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you |
|
55 receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the |
|
56 software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do |
|
57 these things. |
|
58 |
|
59 To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you these |
|
60 rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain |
|
61 responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: |
|
62 responsibilities to respect the freedom of others. |
|
63 |
|
64 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or |
|
65 for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you |
|
66 received. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. |
|
67 And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. |
|
68 |
|
69 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) |
|
70 assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you |
|
71 legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. |
|
72 |
|
73 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that |
|
74 there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, |
|
75 the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that their |
|
76 problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. |
|
77 |
|
78 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified |
|
79 versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This |
|
80 is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom to |
|
81 change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of |
|
82 products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most |
|
83 unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit |
|
84 the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other |
|
85 domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future |
|
86 versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. |
|
87 |
|
88 Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States |
|
89 should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on |
|
90 general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special |
|
91 danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively |
|
92 proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to |
|
93 render the program non-free. |
|
94 |
|
95 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
|
96 follow. |
|
97 |
|
98 TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
|
99 |
|
100 0. Definitions. |
|
101 --------------- |
|
102 |
|
103 “This License” refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. |
|
104 |
|
105 “Copyright” also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of |
|
106 works, such as semiconductor masks. |
|
107 |
|
108 “The Program” refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. |
|
109 Each licensee is addressed as “you”. “Licensees” and “recipients” may be |
|
110 individuals or organizations. |
|
111 |
|
112 To “modify” a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a |
|
113 fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. |
|
114 The resulting work is called a “modified version” of the earlier work or a work |
|
115 “based on” the earlier work. |
|
116 |
|
117 A “covered work” means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the |
|
118 Program. |
|
119 |
|
120 To “propagate” a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, |
|
121 would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable |
|
122 copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. |
|
123 Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), |
|
124 making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as well. |
|
125 |
|
126 To “convey” a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties |
|
127 to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer |
|
128 network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. |
|
129 |
|
130 An interactive user interface displays “Appropriate Legal Notices” to the |
|
131 extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) |
|
132 displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that there is |
|
133 no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are provided), |
|
134 that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of |
|
135 this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such |
|
136 as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. |
|
137 |
|
138 |
|
139 1. Source Code. |
|
140 --------------- |
|
141 |
|
142 The “source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
|
143 modifications to it. “Object code” means any non-source form of a work. |
|
144 |
|
145 A “Standard Interface” means an interface that either is an official |
|
146 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces |
|
147 specified for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among |
|
148 developers working in that language. |
|
149 |
|
150 The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than |
|
151 the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a |
|
152 Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves |
|
153 only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a |
|
154 Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in |
|
155 source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential |
|
156 component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system |
|
157 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the |
|
158 work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. |
|
159 |
|
160 The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the |
|
161 source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the |
|
162 object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those |
|
163 activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or |
|
164 general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used |
|
165 unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. |
|
166 For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated |
|
167 with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and |
|
168 dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to |
|
169 require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those |
|
170 subprograms and other parts of the work. |
|
171 |
|
172 The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate |
|
173 automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. |
|
174 |
|
175 The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. |
|
176 |
|
177 2. Basic Permissions. |
|
178 --------------------- |
|
179 |
|
180 All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright |
|
181 on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This |
|
182 License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified |
|
183 Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License only |
|
184 if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License |
|
185 acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by |
|
186 copyright law. |
|
187 |
|
188 You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, |
|
189 without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may |
|
190 convey covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make |
|
191 modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running |
|
192 those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in |
|
193 conveying all material for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making |
|
194 or running the covered works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, |
|
195 under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any |
|
196 copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you. |
|
197 |
|
198 Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the |
|
199 conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it |
|
200 unnecessary. |
|
201 |
|
202 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. |
|
203 -------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
204 |
|
205 No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure |
|
206 under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO |
|
207 copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or |
|
208 restricting circumvention of such measures. |
|
209 |
|
210 When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid |
|
211 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is |
|
212 effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered |
|
213 work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the |
|
214 work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' |
|
215 legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures. |
|
216 |
|
217 |
|
218 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. |
|
219 ----------------------------- |
|
220 |
|
221 You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you receive |
|
222 it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on |
|
223 each copy an appropriate copyright notice; keep intact all notices stating that |
|
224 this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply |
|
225 to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give |
|
226 all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. |
|
227 |
|
228 You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you |
|
229 may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. |
|
230 |
|
231 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. |
|
232 -------------------------------------- |
|
233 |
|
234 You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce |
|
235 it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section 4, |
|
236 provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
|
237 |
|
238 a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and |
|
239 giving a relevant date. |
|
240 b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under |
|
241 this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement |
|
242 modifies the requirement in section 4 to “keep intact all notices”. |
|
243 c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to |
|
244 anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore |
|
245 apply, along with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole |
|
246 of the work, and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This |
|
247 License gives no permission to license the work in any other way, but it |
|
248 does not invalidate such permission if you have separately received it. |
|
249 d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display |
|
250 Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive |
|
251 interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need |
|
252 not make them do so. |
|
253 |
|
254 A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, |
|
255 which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not |
|
256 combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of a |
|
257 storage or distribution medium, is called an “aggregate” if the compilation and |
|
258 its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the |
|
259 compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a |
|
260 covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other |
|
261 parts of the aggregate. |
|
262 |
|
263 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. |
|
264 ------------------------------ |
|
265 |
|
266 You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of |
|
267 sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable |
|
268 Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: |
|
269 |
|
270 a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including |
|
271 a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source |
|
272 fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software |
|
273 interchange. |
|
274 b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including |
|
275 a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid |
|
276 for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts |
|
277 or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses |
|
278 the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the |
|
279 software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable |
|
280 physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no |
|
281 more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of |
|
282 source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network |
|
283 server at no charge. |
|
284 c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written |
|
285 offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed |
|
286 only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the |
|
287 object code with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. |
|
288 d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis |
|
289 or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source |
|
290 in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not |
|
291 require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object |
|
292 code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the |
|
293 Corresponding Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a |
|
294 third party) that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you |
|
295 maintain clear directions next to the object code saying where to find |
|
296 the Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the |
|
297 Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is available |
|
298 for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. |
|
299 e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you |
|
300 inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the |
|
301 work are being offered to the general public at no charge under |
|
302 subsection 6d. |
|
303 |
|
304 A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from |
|
305 the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying |
|
306 the object code work. |
|
307 |
|
308 A “User Product” is either (1) a “consumer product”, which means any |
|
309 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or |
|
310 household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a |
|
311 dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases |
|
312 shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a |
|
313 particular user, “normally used” refers to a typical or common use of that class |
|
314 of product, regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in |
|
315 which the particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the |
|
316 product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has |
|
317 substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses |
|
318 represent the only significant mode of use of the product. |
|
319 |
|
320 “Installation Information” for a User Product means any methods, procedures, |
|
321 authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute |
|
322 modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version |
|
323 of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the |
|
324 continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or |
|
325 interfered with solely because modification has been made. |
|
326 |
|
327 If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or |
|
328 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a |
|
329 transaction in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is |
|
330 transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of |
|
331 how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under |
|
332 this section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this |
|
333 requirement does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the |
|
334 ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for example, the |
|
335 work has been installed in ROM). |
|
336 |
|
337 The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a |
|
338 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a |
|
339 work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User |
|
340 Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be |
|
341 denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the |
|
342 operation of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication |
|
343 across the network. |
|
344 |
|
345 Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in |
|
346 accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and |
|
347 with an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must |
|
348 require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. |
|
349 |
|
350 7. Additional Terms. |
|
351 -------------------- |
|
352 |
|
353 “Additional permissions” are terms that supplement the terms of this License |
|
354 by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions |
|
355 that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they were |
|
356 included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable |
|
357 law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may |
|
358 be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains |
|
359 governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions. |
|
360 |
|
361 When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any |
|
362 additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional |
|
363 permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when |
|
364 you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added by |
|
365 you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright |
|
366 permission. |
|
367 |
|
368 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to |
|
369 a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that |
|
370 material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: |
|
371 |
|
372 a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of |
|
373 sections 15 and 16 of this License; or |
|
374 b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author |
|
375 attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices |
|
376 displayed by works containing it; or |
|
377 c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or |
|
378 requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable |
|
379 ways as different from the original version; or |
|
380 d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors |
|
381 of the material; or |
|
382 e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade |
|
383 names, trademarks, or service marks; or |
|
384 f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by |
|
385 anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with |
|
386 contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability |
|
387 that these contractual assumptions directly impose on those licensors and |
|
388 authors. |
|
389 |
|
390 All other non-permissive additional terms are considered “further |
|
391 restrictions” within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received |
|
392 it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this |
|
393 License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that |
|
394 term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits |
|
395 relicensing or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work |
|
396 material governed by the terms of that license document, provided that the |
|
397 further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying. |
|
398 |
|
399 If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must |
|
400 place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that |
|
401 apply to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. |
|
402 |
|
403 Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of |
|
404 a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements |
|
405 apply either way. |
|
406 |
|
407 8. Termination. |
|
408 --------------- |
|
409 |
|
410 You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided |
|
411 under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and |
|
412 will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including any |
|
413 patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11). |
|
414 |
|
415 However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from |
|
416 a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until |
|
417 the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, and (b) |
|
418 permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation by |
|
419 some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. |
|
420 |
|
421 Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated |
|
422 permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some |
|
423 reasonable means, this is the first time you have received notice of violation |
|
424 of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the |
|
425 violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. |
|
426 |
|
427 Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the |
|
428 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this |
|
429 License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you |
|
430 do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10. |
|
431 |
|
432 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. |
|
433 --------------------------------------------- |
|
434 |
|
435 You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a |
|
436 copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as |
|
437 a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise does |
|
438 not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants you |
|
439 permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe |
|
440 copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or |
|
441 propagating a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to |
|
442 do so. |
|
443 |
|
444 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. |
|
445 ------------------------------------------------- |
|
446 |
|
447 Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a |
|
448 license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, |
|
449 subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by |
|
450 third parties with this License. |
|

|
452 An “entity transaction” is a transaction transferring control of an |
|
453 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an |
|
454 organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered work results |
|
455 from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy |
|
456 of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor |
|
457 in interest had or could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to |
|
458 possession of the Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in |
|
459 interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts. |
|
460 |
|
461 You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights |
|
462 granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a |
|
463 license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under this |
|
464 License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim or |
|
465 counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by |
|
466 making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or any |
|
467 portion of it. |
|
468 |
|
469 11. Patents. |
|
470 ------------ |
|
471 |
|
472 A “contributor” is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License |
|
473 of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed |
|
474 is called the contributor's “contributor version”. |
|
475 |
|
476 A contributor's “essential patent claims” are all patent claims owned or |
|
477 controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, |
|
478 that would be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, |
|
479 using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would |
|
480 be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor |
|
481 version. For purposes of this definition, “control” includes the right to grant |
|
482 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License. |
|
483 |
|
484 Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent |
|
485 license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, |
|
486 offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents of |
|
487 its contributor version. |
|
488 |
|
489 In the following three paragraphs, a “patent license” is any express |
|
490 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as |
|
491 an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent |
|
492 infringement). To “grant” such a patent license to a party means to make such an |
|
493 agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party. |
|
494 |
|
495 If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the |
|
496 Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of |
|
497 charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available network |
|
498 server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) cause the |
|
499 Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of |
|
500 the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a |
|
501 manner consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent |
|
502 license to downstream recipients. “Knowingly relying” means you have actual |
|
503 knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the covered work in a |
|
504 country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would |
|
505 infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason |
|
506 to believe are valid. |
|
507 |
|
508 If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, |
|
509 you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a |
|
510 patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing |
|
511 them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, |
|
512 then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of |
|
513 the covered work and works based on it. |
|
514 |
|
515 A patent license is “discriminatory” if it does not include within the scope |
|
516 of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the |
|
517 non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under |
|
518 this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an |
|
519 arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, |
|
520 under which you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your |
|
521 activity of conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any |
|
522 of the parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory |
|
523 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you |
|
524 (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with |
|
525 specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you |
|
526 entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior to |
|
527 28 March 2007. |
|
528 |
|
529 Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any |
|
530 implied license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be |
|
531 available to you under applicable patent law. |
|
532 |
|
533 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. |
|
534 ------------------------------------ |
|
535 |
|
536 If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
|
537 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse |
|
538 you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a covered work so |
|
539 as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other |
|
540 pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For |
|
541 example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for |
|
542 further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only way you |
|
543 could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain entirely |
|
544 from conveying the Program. |
|
545 |
|
546 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. |
|
547 --------------------------------------------------- |
|
548 |
|
549 Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to |
|
550 link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU |
|
551 Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the |
|
552 resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part |
|
553 which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero |
|
554 General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network |
|
555 will apply to the combination as such. |
|
556 |
|
557 14. Revised Versions of this License. |
|
558 ------------------------------------- |
|
559 |
|
560 The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the |
|
561 GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar |
|
562 in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new |
|
563 problems or concerns. |
|
564 |
|
565 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
|
566 specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License |
|
567 “or any later version” applies to it, you have the option of following the terms |
|
568 and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published |
|
569 by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version |
|
570 number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever |
|
571 published by the Free Software Foundation. |
|
572 |
|
573 If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of |
|
574 the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement of |
|
575 acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version for |
|
576 the Program. |
|
577 |
|
578 Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. |
|
579 However, no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder |
|
580 as a result of your choosing to follow a later version. |
|
581 |
|
582 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. |
|
583 --------------------------- |
|
584 |
|
585 THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE |
|
586 LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER |
|
587 PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER |
|
588 EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
|
589 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE |
|
590 QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE |
|
591 DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
|
592 |
|
593 16. Limitation of Liability. |
|
594 ---------------------------- |
|
595 |
|
596 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL |
|
597 ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS THE PROGRAM |
|
598 AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, |
|
599 SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY |
|
600 TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
|
601 RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF |
|
602 THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER |
|
603 PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
|
604 |
|
605 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. |
|
606 ----------------------------------------- |
|
607 |
|
608 If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above |
|
609 cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts |
|
610 shall apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all |
|
611 civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption |
|
612 of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. |
|
613 |
|
614 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |

|
617 How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
|
618 |
|
619 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible |
|
620 use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software |
|
621 which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
|
622 |
|
623 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to |
|
624 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively state the |
|
625 exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line |
|
626 and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
|
627 |
|
628 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
|
629 Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
630 |
|
631 This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify |
|
632 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
|
633 the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or |
|
634 (at your option) any later version. |
|
635 |
|
636 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
|
637 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
|
638 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
|
639 GNU General Public License for more details. |
|
640 |
|
641 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
|
642 along with this program. If not, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
|
643 |
|
644 |
|
645 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
|
646 |
|
647 |
|
648 If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice |
|
649 like this when it starts in an interactive mode: |
|
650 |
|
651 <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
|
652 This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
|
653 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
|
654 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
|
655 |
|
656 |
|
657 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
|
658 parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands might be |
|
659 different; for a GUI interface, you would use an “about box”. |
|
660 |
|
661 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, |
|
662 if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. For more |
|
663 information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see |
|
664 <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. |
|
665 |
|
666 The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program |
|
667 into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
|
668 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
|
669 library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public |
|
670 License instead of this License. But first, please read |
|
671 <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html>. |
