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.>
|
||
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
|
||

|
||
(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.
