Preamble
|
| 10 |
|
|
| 11 |
|
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
| 12 |
|
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
| 13 |
|
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
|
| 14 |
|
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
|
| 15 |
|
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
| 16 |
|
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
|
| 17 |
|
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
|
| 18 |
|
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
| 19 |
|
your programs, too.
|
| 20 |
|
|
| 21 |
|
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
| 22 |
|
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
| 23 |
|
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
| 24 |
|
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
|
| 25 |
|
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
|
| 26 |
|
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
| 27 |
|
|
| 28 |
|
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
| 29 |
|
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
|
| 30 |
|
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
|
| 31 |
|
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
|
| 32 |
|
|
| 33 |
|
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
| 34 |
|
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
|
| 35 |
|
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
|
| 36 |
|
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
|
| 37 |
|
rights.
|
| 38 |
|
|
| 39 |
|
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
|
| 40 |
|
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
|
| 41 |
|
distribute and/or modify the software.
|
| 42 |
|
|
| 43 |
|
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
|
| 44 |
|
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
|
| 45 |
|
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
|
| 46 |
|
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
|
| 47 |
|
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
|
| 48 |
|
authors' reputations.
|
| 49 |
|
|
| 50 |
|
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
|
| 51 |
|
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
|
| 52 |
|
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
|
| 53 |
|
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
|
| 54 |
|
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
|
| 55 |
|
|
| 56 |
|
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
| 57 |
|
modification follow.
|

|
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
| 60 |
|
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
| 61 |
|
|
| 62 |
|
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
|
| 63 |
|
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
| 64 |
|
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
|
| 65 |
|
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
|
| 66 |
|
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
|
| 67 |
|
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
|
| 68 |
|
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
|
| 69 |
|
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
|
| 70 |
|
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
| 71 |
|
|
| 72 |
|
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
| 73 |
|
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
|
| 74 |
|
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
|
| 75 |
|
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
|
| 76 |
|
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
|
| 77 |
|
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
|
| 78 |
|
|
| 79 |
|
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
|
| 80 |
|
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
|
| 81 |
|
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
|
| 82 |
|
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
|
| 83 |
|
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
|
| 84 |
|
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
|
| 85 |
|
along with the Program.
|
| 86 |
|
|
| 87 |
|
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
|
| 88 |
|
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
| 89 |
|
|
| 90 |
|
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
|
| 91 |
|
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
|
| 92 |
|
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
|
| 93 |
|
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
| 94 |
|
|
| 95 |
|
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
|
| 96 |
|
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
| 97 |
|
|
| 98 |
|
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
|
| 99 |
|
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
|
| 100 |
|
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
|
| 101 |
|
parties under the terms of this License.
|
| 102 |
|
|
| 103 |
|
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
|
| 104 |
|
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
|
| 105 |
|
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
|
| 106 |
|
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
|
| 107 |
|
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
|
| 108 |
|
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
|
| 109 |
|
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
|
| 110 |
|
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
|
| 111 |
|
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
|
| 112 |
|
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
|
| 113 |
|
|
| 114 |
|
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
| 115 |
|
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
|
| 116 |
|
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
|
| 117 |
|
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
|
| 118 |
|
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
|
| 119 |
|
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
|
| 120 |
|
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
|
| 121 |
|
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
|
| 122 |
|
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
| 123 |
|
|
| 124 |
|
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
|
| 125 |
|
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
|
| 126 |
|
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
|
| 127 |
|
collective works based on the Program.
|
| 128 |
|
|
| 129 |
|
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
|
| 130 |
|
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
|
| 131 |
|
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
|
| 132 |
|
the scope of this License.
|
| 133 |
|
|
| 134 |
|
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
|
| 135 |
|
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
|
| 136 |
|
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
|
| 137 |
|
|
| 138 |
|
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
|
| 139 |
|
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
|
| 140 |
|
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
| 141 |
|
|
| 142 |
|
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
| 143 |
|
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
|
| 144 |
|
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
|
| 145 |
|
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
| 146 |
|
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
|
| 147 |
|
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
| 148 |
|
|
| 149 |
|
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
|
| 150 |
|
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
|
| 151 |
|
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
|
| 152 |
|
received the program in object code or executable form with such
|
| 153 |
|
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
|
| 154 |
|
|
| 155 |
|
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
| 156 |
|
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
|
| 157 |
|
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
|
| 158 |
|
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
|
| 159 |
|
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
|
| 160 |
|
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
|
| 161 |
|
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
|
| 162 |
|
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
| 163 |
|
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
|
| 164 |
|
itself accompanies the executable.
|
| 165 |
|
|
| 166 |
|
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
|
| 167 |
|
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
|
| 168 |
|
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
|
| 169 |
|
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
| 170 |
|
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
| 171 |
|
|
| 172 |
|
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
|
| 173 |
|
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
| 174 |
|
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
|
| 175 |
|
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
| 176 |
|
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
|
| 177 |
|
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
| 178 |
|
parties remain in full compliance.
|
| 179 |
|
|
| 180 |
|
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
|
| 181 |
|
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
|
| 182 |
|
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
|
| 183 |
|
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
|
| 184 |
|
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
|
| 185 |
|
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
|
| 186 |
|
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
| 187 |
|
the Program or works based on it.
|
| 188 |
|
|
| 189 |
|
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
|
| 190 |
|
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
| 191 |
|
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
|
| 192 |
|
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
| 193 |
|
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
| 194 |
|
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
|
| 195 |
|
this License.
|
| 196 |
|
|
| 197 |
|
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
| 198 |
|
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
|
| 199 |
|
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
| 200 |
|
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
| 201 |
|
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
|
| 202 |
|
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
|
| 203 |
|
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
|
| 204 |
|
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
|
| 205 |
|
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
|
| 206 |
|
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
|
| 207 |
|
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
| 208 |
|
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
| 209 |
|
|
| 210 |
|
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
|
| 211 |
|
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
|
| 212 |
|
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
|
| 213 |
|
circumstances.
|
| 214 |
|
|
| 215 |
|
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
| 216 |
|
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
|
| 217 |
|
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
|
| 218 |
|
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
|
| 219 |
|
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
|
| 220 |
|
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
|
| 221 |
|
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
| 222 |
|
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
|
| 223 |
|
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
|
| 224 |
|
impose that choice.
|
| 225 |
|
|
| 226 |
|
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
|
| 227 |
|
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
| 228 |
|
|
| 229 |
|
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
|
| 230 |
|
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
|
| 231 |
|
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
|
| 232 |
|
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
|
| 233 |
|
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
|
| 234 |
|
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
|
| 235 |
|
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
|
| 236 |
|
|
| 237 |
|
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
|
| 238 |
|
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
|
| 239 |
|
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
|
| 240 |
|
address new problems or concerns.
|
| 241 |
|
|
| 242 |
|
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
| 243 |
|
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
|
| 244 |
|
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
|
| 245 |
|
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
|
| 246 |
|
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
|
| 247 |
|
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
| 248 |
|
Foundation.
|
| 249 |
|
|
| 250 |
|
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
|
| 251 |
|
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
|
| 252 |
|
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
|
| 253 |
|
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
|
| 254 |
|
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
|
| 255 |
|
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
|
| 256 |
|
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
|
| 257 |
|
|
| 258 |
|
NO WARRANTY
|
| 259 |
|
|
| 260 |
|
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
|
| 261 |
|
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
|
| 262 |
|
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
|
| 263 |
|
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
|
| 264 |
|
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
| 265 |
|
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
|
| 266 |
|
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
| 267 |
|
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
|
| 268 |
|
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
| 269 |
|
|
| 270 |
|
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
| 271 |
|
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
|
| 272 |
|
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
| 273 |
|
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
|
| 274 |
|
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
|
| 275 |
|
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
| 276 |
|
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
| 277 |
|
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
| 278 |
|
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
| 279 |
|
|
| 280 |
|
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
| 281 |
|
|
| 282 |
|
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
| 283 |
|
|
| 284 |
|
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
| 285 |
|
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
| 286 |
|
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
| 287 |
|
|
| 288 |
|
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
| 289 |
|
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
| 290 |
|
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
| 291 |
|
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
| 292 |
|
|
| 293 |
|
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
|
| 321 |
|
parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
|
| 322 |
|
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
|
| 323 |
|
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
|
| 324 |
|
|
| 325 |
|
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
|
| 326 |
|
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
|
| 327 |
|
necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
|
| 336 |
|
proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
|
| 337 |
|
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
|
| 338 |
|
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
|
| 339 |
|
Public License instead of this License.

Preamble
|
| |
10 |
|
| |
11 |
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
|
| |
12 |
freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
|
| |
13 |
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
|
| |
14 |
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
|
| |
15 |
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
|
| |
16 |
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
|
| |
17 |
using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
|
| |
18 |
the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
|
| |
19 |
your programs, too.
|
| |
20 |
|
| |
21 |
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
| |
22 |
price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
|
| |
23 |
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
|
| |
24 |
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
|
| |
25 |
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
|
| |
26 |
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
|
| |
27 |
|
| |
28 |
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
|
| |
29 |
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
|
| |
30 |
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
|
| |
31 |
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
|
| |
32 |
|
| |
33 |
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
|
| |
34 |
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
|
| |
35 |
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
|
| |
36 |
source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
|
| |
37 |
rights.
|
| |
38 |
|
| |
39 |
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
|
| |
40 |
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
|
| |
41 |
distribute and/or modify the software.
|
| |
42 |
|
| |
43 |
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
|
| |
44 |
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
|
| |
45 |
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
|
| |
46 |
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
|
| |
47 |
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
|
| |
48 |
authors' reputations.
|
| |
49 |
|
| |
50 |
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
|
| |
51 |
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
|
| |
52 |
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
|
| |
53 |
program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
|
| |
54 |
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
|
| |
55 |
|
| |
56 |
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
|
| |
57 |
modification follow.
|
| |

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
| |
60 |
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
|
| |
61 |
|
| |
62 |
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
|
| |
63 |
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
|
| |
64 |
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
|
| |
65 |
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
|
| |
66 |
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
|
| |
67 |
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
|
| |
68 |
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
|
| |
69 |
language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
|
| |
70 |
the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
|
| |
71 |
|
| |
72 |
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
|
| |
73 |
covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
|
| |
74 |
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
|
| |
75 |
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
|
| |
76 |
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
|
| |
77 |
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
|
| |
78 |
|
| |
79 |
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
|
| |
80 |
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
|
| |
81 |
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
|
| |
82 |
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
|
| |
83 |
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
|
| |
84 |
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
|
| |
85 |
along with the Program.
|
| |
86 |
|
| |
87 |
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
|
| |
88 |
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
|
| |
89 |
|
| |
90 |
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
|
| |
91 |
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
|
| |
92 |
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
|
| |
93 |
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
|
| |
94 |
|
| |
95 |
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
|
| |
96 |
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
|
| |
97 |
|
| |
98 |
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
|
| |
99 |
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
|
| |
100 |
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
|
| |
101 |
parties under the terms of this License.
|
| |
102 |
|
| |
103 |
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
|
| |
104 |
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
|
| |
105 |
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
|
| |
106 |
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
|
| |
107 |
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
|
| |
108 |
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
|
| |
109 |
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
|
| |
110 |
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
|
| |
111 |
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
|
| |
112 |
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
|
| |
113 |
|
| |
114 |
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
|
| |
115 |
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
|
| |
116 |
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
|
| |
117 |
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
|
| |
118 |
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
|
| |
119 |
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
|
| |
120 |
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
|
| |
121 |
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
|
| |
122 |
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
|
| |
123 |
|
| |
124 |
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
|
| |
125 |
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
|
| |
126 |
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
|
| |
127 |
collective works based on the Program.
|
| |
128 |
|
| |
129 |
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
|
| |
130 |
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
|
| |
131 |
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
|
| |
132 |
the scope of this License.
|
| |
133 |
|
| |
134 |
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
|
| |
135 |
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
|
| |
136 |
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
|
| |
137 |
|
| |
138 |
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
|
| |
139 |
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
|
| |
140 |
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
| |
141 |
|
| |
142 |
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
| |
143 |
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
|
| |
144 |
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
|
| |
145 |
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
|
| |
146 |
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
|
| |
147 |
customarily used for software interchange; or,
|
| |
148 |
|
| |
149 |
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
|
| |
150 |
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
|
| |
151 |
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
|
| |
152 |
received the program in object code or executable form with such
|
| |
153 |
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
|
| |
154 |
|
| |
155 |
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
|
| |
156 |
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
|
| |
157 |
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
|
| |
158 |
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
|
| |
159 |
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
|
| |
160 |
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
|
| |
161 |
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
|
| |
162 |
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
|
| |
163 |
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
|
| |
164 |
itself accompanies the executable.
|
| |
165 |
|
| |
166 |
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
|
| |
167 |
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
|
| |
168 |
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
|
| |
169 |
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
|
| |
170 |
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
|
| |
171 |
|
| |
172 |
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
|
| |
173 |
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
|
| |
174 |
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
|
| |
175 |
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
|
| |
176 |
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
|
| |
177 |
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
|
| |
178 |
parties remain in full compliance.
|
| |
179 |
|
| |
180 |
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
|
| |
181 |
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
|
| |
182 |
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
|
| |
183 |
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
|
| |
184 |
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
|
| |
185 |
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
|
| |
186 |
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
|
| |
187 |
the Program or works based on it.
|
| |
188 |
|
| |
189 |
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
|
| |
190 |
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
|
| |
191 |
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
|
| |
192 |
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
|
| |
193 |
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
|
| |
194 |
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
|
| |
195 |
this License.
|
| |
196 |
|
| |
197 |
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
|
| |
198 |
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
|
| |
199 |
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
|
| |
200 |
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
|
| |
201 |
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
|
| |
202 |
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
|
| |
203 |
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
|
| |
204 |
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
|
| |
205 |
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
|
| |
206 |
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
|
| |
207 |
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
|
| |
208 |
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
|
| |
209 |
|
| |
210 |
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
|
| |
211 |
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
|
| |
212 |
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
|
| |
213 |
circumstances.
|
| |
214 |
|
| |
215 |
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
|
| |
216 |
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
|
| |
217 |
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
|
| |
218 |
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
|
| |
219 |
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
|
| |
220 |
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
|
| |
221 |
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
|
| |
222 |
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
|
| |
223 |
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
|
| |
224 |
impose that choice.
|
| |
225 |
|
| |
226 |
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
|
| |
227 |
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
|
| |
228 |
|
| |
229 |
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
|
| |
230 |
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
|
| |
231 |
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
|
| |
232 |
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
|
| |
233 |
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
|
| |
234 |
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
|
| |
235 |
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
|
| |
236 |
|
| |
237 |
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
|
| |
238 |
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
|
| |
239 |
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
|
| |
240 |
address new problems or concerns.
|
| |
241 |
|
| |
242 |
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
|
| |
243 |
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
|
| |
244 |
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
|
| |
245 |
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
|
| |
246 |
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
|
| |
247 |
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
| |
248 |
Foundation.
|
| |
249 |
|
| |
250 |
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
|
| |
251 |
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
|
| |
252 |
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
|
| |
253 |
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
|
| |
254 |
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
|
| |
255 |
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
|
| |
256 |
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
|
| |
257 |
|
| |
258 |
NO WARRANTY
|
| |
259 |
|
| |
260 |
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
|
| |
261 |
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
|
| |
262 |
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
|
| |
263 |
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
|
| |
264 |
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
|
| |
265 |
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
|
| |
266 |
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
|
| |
267 |
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
|
| |
268 |
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
|
| |
269 |
|
| |
270 |
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
|
| |
271 |
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
|
| |
272 |
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
|
| |
273 |
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
|
| |
274 |
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
|
| |
275 |
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
|
| |
276 |
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
|
| |
277 |
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
|
| |
278 |
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
|
| |
279 |
|
| |
280 |
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
|
| |
281 |
|
| |
282 |
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
|
| |
283 |
|
| |
284 |
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
|
| |
285 |
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
|
| |
286 |
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
|
| |
287 |
|
| |
288 |
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
|
| |
289 |
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
|
| |
290 |
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
|
| |
291 |
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
|
| |
292 |
|
| |
293 |
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
|
| |
337 |
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

338 |
library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General

Public License instead of this License.
