GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave,
|
||
|
|
Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. 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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
||
|
|
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
