| |
| Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license |
| document, but changing it is not allowed. |
| |
| Preamble |
| |
| The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share |
| and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to |
| guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the |
| software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to |
| most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose |
| authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is |
| covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
| your programs, too. |
| |
| When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our |
| General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to |
| distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), |
| that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change |
| the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you |
| can do these things. |
| |
| To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny |
| you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions |
| translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the |
| software, or if you modify it. |
| |
| For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for |
| a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must |
| make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must |
| show them these terms so they know their rights. |
| |
| We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) |
| offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute |
| and/or modify the software. |
| |
| Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that |
| everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the |
| software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to |
| know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced |
| by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. |
| |
| Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We |
| wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will |
| individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. |
| To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for |
| everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
| |
| The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
| follow. |
| |
| TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
| |
| 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice |
| placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
| this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program |
| or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any |
| derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the |
| Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or |
| translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included |
| without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as |
| "you". |
| |
| Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by |
| this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is |
| not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents |
| constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by |
| running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
| |
| 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as |
| you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and |
| appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and |
| disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License |
| and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the |
| Program a copy of this License along with the Program. |
| |
| You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may |
| at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
| |
| 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus |
| forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications |
| or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of |
| these conditions: |
| |
| a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating |
| that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
| |
| b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or |
| in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be |
| licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of |
| this License. |
| |
| c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, |
| you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the |
| most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an |
| appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or |
| else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute |
| the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy |
| of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does |
| not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is |
| not required to print an announcement.) |
| |
| These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable |
| sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably |
| considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and |
| its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate |
| works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a |
| work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms |
| of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire |
| whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
| |
| Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your |
| rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the |
| right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on |
| the Program. |
| |
| In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the |
| Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or |
| distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this |
| License. |
| |
| 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under |
| Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and |
| 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
| |
| a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source |
| code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above |
| on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| |
| b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to |
| give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically |
| performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the |
| corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 |
| and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
| |
| c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to |
| distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only |
| for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in |
| object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with |
| Subsection b above.) |
| |
| The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
| modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all |
| the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface |
| definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation |
| of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code |
| distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either |
| source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) |
| of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
| itself accompanies the executable. |
| |
| If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy |
| from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source |
| code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though |
| third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
| |
| 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as |
| expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, |
| sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate |
| your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or |
| rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so |
| long as such parties remain in full compliance. |
| |
| 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. |
| However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program |
| or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not |
| accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or |
| any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to |
| do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
| the Program or works based on it. |
| |
| 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), |
| the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to |
| copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. |
| You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the |
| rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by |
| third parties to this License. |
| |
| 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
| infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions |
| are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that |
| contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the |
| conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy |
| simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent |
| obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. |
| For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution |
| of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through |
| you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
| refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
| |
| If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any |
| particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and |
| the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
| |
| It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or |
| other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this |
| section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software |
| distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many |
| people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software |
| distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
| system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to |
| distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that |
| choice. |
| |
| This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a |
| consequence of the rest of this License. |
| |
| 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain |
| countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original |
| copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit |
| geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that |
| distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In |
| such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body |
| of this License. |
| |
| 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the |
| General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in |
| spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems |
| or concerns. |
| |
| Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
| specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later |
| version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of |
| that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may |
| choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. |
| |
| 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs |
| whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for |
| permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, |
| write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. |
| Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of |
| all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of |
| software generally. |
| |
| NO WARRANTY |
| |
| 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR |
| THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE |
| STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE |
| PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, |
| INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND |
| FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND |
| PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, |
| YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
| |
| 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL |
| ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE |
| PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
| GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR |
| INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA |
| BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A |
| FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER |
| OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
| |
| END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
| |
| How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
| |
| If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible |
| use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software |
| which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
| |
| To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach |
| them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion |
| of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a |
| pointer to where the full notice is found. |
| |
| One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. |
| |
| Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
| |
| This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it |
| under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free |
| Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) |
| any later version. |
| |
| This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT |
| ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or |
| FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for |
| more details. |
| |
| You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
| with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 |
| Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA |
| |
| Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
| |
| If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it |
| starts in an interactive mode: |
| |
| Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes |
| with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'. This is free |
| software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; |
| type 'show c' for details. |
| |
| The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate |
| parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be |
| called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be |
| mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
| |
| You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, |
| if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here |
| is a sample; alter the names: |
| |
| Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program |
| 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. |

| |
| This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
| proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
| consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
| library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public |
| License instead of this License. |
| |
| |
| "CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL |
| |
| Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are |
| subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but |
| only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header |
| the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath" |
| exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code." |
| |
| Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making |
| a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of |
| the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination. |
| |
| As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you |
| permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an |
| executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, |
| and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your |
| choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, |
| the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent |
| module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If |
| you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of |
| the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do |
| so, delete this exception statement from your version. |
