1 unconed 1.1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

3     Version 2, June 1991
4    
5     Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave,
6     Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
7     verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
8    
9     Preamble
10    
11     The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
12     share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
13     intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to
14     make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License
15     applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other
16     program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software
17     Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License
18     instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
19    
20     When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
21     General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
22     freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if
23     you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you
24     can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that
25     you know you can do these things.
26    
27     To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
28     deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions
29     translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
30     software, or if you modify it.
31    
32     For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
33     a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make
34     sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show
35     them these terms so they know their rights.
36    
37     We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
38     offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
39     and/or modify the software.
40    
41     Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
42     everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
43     software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients
44     to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems
45     introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
46    
47     Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We
48     wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually
49     obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent
50     this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's
51     free use or not licensed at all.
52    
53     The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
54     follow.
55    
56     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
57     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
58     MODIFICATION
59    
60     0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
61     placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms
62     of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such
63     program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the
64     Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
65     containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
66     modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation
67     is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is
68     addressed as "you".
69    
70     Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered
71     by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is
72     not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
73     constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made
74     by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program
75     does.
76    
77     1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
78     code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
79     appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
80     disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
81     and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
82     Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
83    
84     You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
85     may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
86    
87     2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,
88     thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
89     modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you
90     also meet all of these conditions:
91    
92     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
93     you changed the files and the date of any change.
94    
95     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in
96     part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
97     licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this
98     License.
99    
100     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
101     you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most
102     ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate
103     copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that
104     you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
105     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
106     (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
107     an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
108     an announcement.)
109    
110     These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable
111     sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be
112     reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then
113     this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute
114     them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part
115     of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the
116     whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other
117     licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part
118     regardless of who wrote it.
119    
120     Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
121     work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
122     control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the
123     Program.
124    
125     In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
126     with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
127     storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope
128     of this License.
129    
130     3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
131     Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
132     and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
133    
134     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
135     code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
136     on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
137    
138     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give
139     any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing
140     source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding
141     source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on
142     a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
143    
144     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
145     corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for
146     noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object
147     code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b
148     above.)
149    
150     The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
151     making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code
152     means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
153     interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
154     installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source
155     code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in
156     either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel,
157     and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
158     component itself accompanies the executable.
159    
160     If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to
161     copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
162     source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code,
163     even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
164     object code.
165    
166     4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
167     expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
168     modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically
169     terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received
170     copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
171     terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
172    
173     5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
174     However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the
175     Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you
176     do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the
177     Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
178     of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying,
179     distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.
180    
181     6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
182     Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
183     licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and
184     conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients'
185     exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
186     compliance by third parties to this License.
187    
188     7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
189     infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
190     are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
191     contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
192     conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
193     simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
194     obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
195     For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
196     of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
197     you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
198     refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
199    
200     If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
201     particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
202     the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
203    
204     It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
205     other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
206     section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
207     distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many
208     people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
209     distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
210     system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
211     distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose
212     that choice.
213    
214     This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
215     consequence of the rest of this License.
216    
217     8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
218     countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright
219     holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
220     geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
221     distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such
222     case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
223     License.
224    
225     9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
226     of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
227     similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new
228     problems or concerns.
229    
230     Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies
231     a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version",
232     you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that
233     version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
234     the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
235     choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
236    
237     10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
238     whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
239     permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
240     Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make
241     exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of
242     preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of
243     promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
244    
245     NO WARRANTY
246    
247     11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,
248     THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT
249     PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
250     STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
251     OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT
252     WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
253     INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
254     OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
255     PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
256     PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
257     PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL
258     NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
259    
260     12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
261     AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR
262     ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
263     REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
264     LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL,
265     SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
266     ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
267     PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA
268     OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
269     SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE
270     PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN
271     IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
272     THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
273    
274     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
