GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
|||
|
Version 2, June 1991
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
|||
|
59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
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.>
|
|||
|

|

|
notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

You should also get your employer (if you work as a
|

|
programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright

sample; alter the names:

|
|||
|
compilers) written by James Hacker.
