    23  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
       
    24  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
       
    25 
       
    26 			    Preamble
       
    27 
       
    28   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
       
    29 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
       
    30 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
       
    31 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
       
    32 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
       
    33 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
       
    34 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
       
    35 the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
       
    36 your programs, too.
       
    37 
       
    38   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
       
    39 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
       
    40 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
       
    41 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
       
    42 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
       
    43 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
       
    44 
       
    45   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
       
    46 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
       
    47 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
       
    48 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
       
    49 
       
    50   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
       
    51 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
       
    52 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
       
    53 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
       
    54 rights.
       
    55 
       
    56   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
       
    57 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
       
    58 distribute and/or modify the software.
       
    59 
       
    60   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
       
    61 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
       
    62 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
       
    63 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
       
    64 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
       
    65 authors' reputations.
       
    66 
       
    67   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
       
    68 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
       
    69 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
       
    70 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
       
    71 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
       
    72 
       
    73   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
       
    74 modification follow.

    76 
       
    77 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
       
    78    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
       
    79 
       
    80   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
       
    81 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
       
    82 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
       
    83 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
       
    84 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
       
    85 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
       
    86 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
       
    87 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
       
    88 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
       
    89 
       
    90 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
       
    91 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
       
    92 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
       
    93 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
       
    94 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
       
    95 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
       
    96 
       
    97   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
       
    98 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
       
    99 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
       
   100 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
       
   101 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
       
   102 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
       
   103 along with the Program.
       
   104 
       
   105 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
       
   106 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
       
   107 
       
   108   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
       
   109 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
       
   110 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
       
   111 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
       
   112 
       
   113     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
       
   114     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
       
   115 
       
   116     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
       
   117     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
       
   118     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
       
   119     parties under the terms of this License.
       
   120 
       
   121     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
       
   122     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
       
   123     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
       
   124     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
       
   125     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
       
   126     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
       
   127     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
       
   128     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
       
   129     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
       
   130     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
       
   131 
       
   132 
       
   133 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
       
   134 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
       
   135 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
       
   136 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
       
   137 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
       
   138 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
       
   139 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
       
   140 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
       
   141 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
       
   142 
       
   143 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
       
   144 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
       
   145 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
       
   146 collective works based on the Program.
       
   147 
       
   148 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
       
   149 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
       
   150 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
       
   151 the scope of this License.
       
   152 
       
   153   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
       
   154 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
       
   155 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
       
   156 
       
   157     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
       
   158     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
       
   159     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
       
   160 
       
   161     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
       
   162     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
       
   163     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
       
   164     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
       
   165     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
       
   166     customarily used for software interchange; or,
       
   167 
       
   168     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
       
   169     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
       
   170     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
       
   171     received the program in object code or executable form with such
       
   172     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
       
   173 
       
   174 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
       
   175 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
       
   176 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
       
   177 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
       
   178 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
       
   179 special exception, the source code distributed need not include
       
   180 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
       
   181 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
       
   182 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
       
   183 itself accompanies the executable.
       
   184 
       
   185 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
       
   186 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
       
   187 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
       
   188 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
       
   189 compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
       
   190 
       
   191 
       
   192   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
       
   193 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
       
   194 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
       
   195 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
       
   196 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
       
   197 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
       
   198 parties remain in full compliance.
       
   199 
       
   200   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
       
   201 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
       
   202 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
       
   203 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
       
   204 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
       
   205 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
       
   206 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
       
   207 the Program or works based on it.
       
   208 
       
   209   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
       
   210 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
       
   211 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
       
   212 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
       
   213 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
       
   214 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
       
   215 this License.
       
   216 
       
   217   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
       
   218 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
       
   219 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
       
   220 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
       
   221 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
       
   222 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
       
   223 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
       
   224 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
       
   225 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
       
   226 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
       
   227 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
       
   228 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
       
   229 
       
   230 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
       
   231 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
       
   232 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
       
   233 circumstances.
       
   234 
       
   235 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
       
   236 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
       
   237 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
       
   238 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
       
   239 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
       
   240 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
       
   241 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
       
   242 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
       
   243 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
       
   244 impose that choice.
       
   245 
       
   246 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
       
   247 be a consequence of the rest of this License.
       
   248 
       
   249 
       
   250   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
       
   251 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
       
   252 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
       
   253 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
       
   254 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
       
   255 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
       
   256 the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
       
   257 
       
   258   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
       
   259 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
       
   260 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
       
   261 address new problems or concerns.
       
   262 
       
   263 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
       
   264 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
       
   265 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
       
   266 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
       
   267 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
       
   268 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
       
   269 Foundation.
       
   270 
       
   271   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
       
   272 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
       
   273 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
       
   274 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
       
   275 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
       
   276 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
       
   277 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
       
   278 
       
   279 			    NO WARRANTY
       
   280 
       
   281   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
       
   282 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
       
   283 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
       
   284 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
       
   285 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
       
   286 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
       
   287 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
       
   288 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
       
   289 REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
       
   290 
       
   291   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
       
   292 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
       
   293 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
       
   294 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING

   304 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
       
   305 
       
   306   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
       
   307 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
       
   308 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
       
   309 
       
   310   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
       
   311 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
       
   312 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
       
   313 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
       
   314 
       
   315     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
       
   316     Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>
       
   317 
       
   318     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
       
   319     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
       
   320     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
       
   321     (at your option) any later version.
       
   322 
       
   323     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
       
   324     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
       
   325     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
       
   326     GNU General Public License for more details.
       
   327 
       
   328     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
       
   329     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
       
   330     Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  USA
       
   331 
       
   332 
       
   333 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
       
   334 
       
   335 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
       
   336 when it starts in an interactive mode:
       
   337 
       
   338     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
       
   339     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
       
   340     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
       
   341     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
       
   342 
       
   343 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
       
   344 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
       
   345 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
       
   346 mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
       
   347 
       
   348 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
       
   349 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
       
   350 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:
       
   351 
       
   352   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
       
   353   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

   358 This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
       
   359 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
       
   360 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
       
   361 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
       
   362 Public License instead of this License.
