166\& Preamble
167.Ve
168.PP
169The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
170freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the \s-1GNU\s0 General Public
171License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
172software\*(--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
173General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
174Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
175using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
176the \s-1GNU\s0 Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
177your programs, too.
178.PP
179When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
180price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
181have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
182this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
183if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
184in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
185.PP
186To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
187anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
188These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
189distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
190.PP
191For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
192gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
193you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
194source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
195rights.
196.PP
197We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
198(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
199distribute and/or modify the software.
200.PP
201Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
202that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
203software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
204want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
205that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
206authors' reputations.
207.PP
208Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
209patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
210program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
211program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
212patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
213.PP
214The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
215modification follow.

219.Vb 2
220\& GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
221\& TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
222.Ve
223.PP
2240. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
225a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
226under the terms of this General Public License. The \*(L"Program\*(R", below,
227refers to any such program or work, and a \*(L"work based on the Program\*(R"
228means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
229that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
230either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
231language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
232the term \*(L"modification\*(R".) Each licensee is addressed as \*(L"you\*(R".
233.PP
234Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
235covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
236running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
237is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
238Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
239Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
240.PP
2411. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
242source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
243conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
244copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
245notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
246and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
247along with the Program.
248.PP
249You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
250you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
251.PP
2522. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
253of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
254distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
255above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
256.PP
257.Vb 2
258\& a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
259\& stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
260.Ve
261.PP
262.Vb 4
263\& b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
264\& whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
265\& part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
266\& parties under the terms of this License.
267.Ve
268.PP
269.Vb 10
270\& c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
271\& when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
272\& interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
273\& announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
274\& notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
275\& a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
276\& these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
277\& License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
278\& does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
279\& the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
280.Ve
281.PP
282\&\-\-
283.PP
284These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
285identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
286and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
287themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
288sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
289distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
290on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
291this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
292entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
293.PP
294Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
295your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
296exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
297collective works based on the Program.
298.PP
299In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
300with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
301a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
302the scope of this License.
303.PP
3043. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
305under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
306Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
307.PP
308.Vb 3
309\& a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
310\& source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
311\& 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
312.Ve
313.PP
314.Vb 6
315\& b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
316\& years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
317\& cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
318\& machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
319\& distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
320\& customarily used for software interchange; or,
321.Ve
322.PP
323.Vb 5
324\& c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
325\& to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
326\& allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
327\& received the program in object code or executable form with such
328\& an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
329.Ve
330.PP
331The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
332making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
333code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
334associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
335control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
336special exception, the source code distributed need not include
337anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
338form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
339operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
340itself accompanies the executable.
341.PP
342If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
343access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
344access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
345distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
346compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
347.PP
348\&\-\-
349.PP
3504. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
351except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
352otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
353void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
354However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
355this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
356parties remain in full compliance.
357.PP
3585. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
359signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
360distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
361prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
362modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
363Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
364all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
365the Program or works based on it.
366.PP
3676. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
368Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
369original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
370these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
371restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
372You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
373this License.
374.PP
3757. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
376infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
377conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
378otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
379excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
380distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
381License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
382may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
383license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
384all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
385the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
386refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
387.PP
388If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
389any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
390apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
391circumstances.
392.PP
393It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
394patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
395such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
396integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
397implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
398generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
399through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
400system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
401to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
402impose that choice.
403.PP
404This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
405be a consequence of the rest of this License.
406.PP
407\&\-\-
408.PP
4098. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
410certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
411original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
412may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
413those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
414countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
415the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
416.PP
4179. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
418of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
419be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
420address new problems or concerns.
421.PP
422Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
423specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and \*(L"any
424later version\*(R", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
425either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
426Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
427this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
428Foundation.
429.PP
43010. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
431programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
432to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
433Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
434make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
435of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
436of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

469\& Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
470.Ve
471.PP
472If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
473possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
474free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
475.PP
476To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
477to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
478convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
479the \*(L"copyright\*(R" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
480.PP

487\& This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
488\& it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
489\& the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
490\& (at your option) any later version.

495\& but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

497\& GNU General Public License for more details.

500.Vb 3
501\& You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
502\& along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
503\& Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.
504.Ve
505.PP
506Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
507.PP
508If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
509when it starts in an interactive mode:
510.PP
511.Vb 4
512\& Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
513\& Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type "show w".
514\& This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
515\& under certain conditions; type "show c" for details.
516.Ve
517.PP
518The hypothetical commands \*(L"show w\*(R" and \*(L"show c\*(R" should show the appropriate
519parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
520be called something other than \*(L"show w\*(R" and \*(L"show c\*(R"; they could even be
521mouse-clicks or menu items\*(--whatever suits your program.
522.PP
523You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
524school, if any, to sign a \*(L"copyright disclaimer\*(R" for the program, if
525necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

537This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
538proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
539consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
540library. If this is what you want to do, use the \s-1GNU\s0 Library General
541Public License instead of this License.
