v1 v2 8 8 9 9 {{{ 10 11 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 12 13 Version 2, June 1991 14 15 10 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 11 Version 2, June 1991 16 12 17 13 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 18 19 14 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA 20 21 15 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 22 23 16 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 24 17 25 26 27 Preamble 28 29 18 Preamble 30 19 31 20 The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 32 33 21 freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public 34 35 22 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 36 37 23 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This 38 39 24 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 40 41 25 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 42 43 26 using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 44 45 27 the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 46 47 28 your programs, too. 48 29 49 50 51 30 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 52 53 31 price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 54 55 32 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 56 57 33 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 58 59 34 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 60 61 35 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 62 36 63 64 65 37 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 66 67 38 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 68 69 39 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 70 71 40 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 72 41 73 74 75 42 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 76 77 43 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 78 79 44 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 80 81 45 source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their 82 83 46 rights. 84 47 85 86 87 48 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 88 89 49 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 90 91 50 distribute and/or modify the software. 92 51 93 94 95 52 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 96 97 53 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 98 99 54 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 100 101 55 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 102 103 56 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 104 105 57 authors' reputations. 106 58 107 108 109 59 Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 110 111 60 patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 112 113 61 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 114 115 62 program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 116 117 63 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 118 64 119 120 121 65 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 122 123 66 modification follow. 124 67 125 126 127 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 128 68 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 129 69 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 130 70 131 132 133 71 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 134 135 72 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 136 137 73 under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, 138 139 74 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 140 141 75 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 142 143 76 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 144 145 77 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 146 147 78 language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 148 149 79 the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 150 80 151 152 153 81 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 154 155 82 covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of 156 157 83 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 158 159 84 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 160 161 85 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 162 163 86 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 164 87 165 166 167 88 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 168 169 89 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 170 171 90 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 172 173 91 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 174 175 92 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 176 177 93 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 178 179 94 along with the Program. 180 95 181 182 183 96 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 184 185 97 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 186 98 187 188 189 99 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 190 191 100 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 192 193 101 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 194 195 102 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 196 103 197 198 199 104 a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 200 201 105 stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 202 106 203 204 205 107 b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 206 207 108 whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 208 209 109 part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 210 211 110 parties under the terms of this License. 212 111 213 214 215 112 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 216 217 113 when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 218 219 114 interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 220 221 115 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 222 223 116 notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 224 225 117 a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 226 227 118 these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 228 229 119 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 230 231 120 does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 232 233 121 the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 234 122 235 236 237 123 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If 238 239 124 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 240 241 125 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 242 243 126 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 244 245 127 sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you 246 247 128 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 248 249 129 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 250 251 130 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 252 253 131 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 254 132 255 256 257 133 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 258 259 134 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 260 261 135 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 262 263 136 collective works based on the Program. 264 137 265 266 267 138 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 268 269 139 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 270 271 140 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 272 273 141 the scope of this License. 274 142 275 276 277 143 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 278 279 144 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 280 281 145 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 282 146 283 284 285 147 a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 286 287 148 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 288 289 149 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 290 150 291 292 293 151 b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 294 295 152 years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 296 297 153 cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 298 299 154 machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 300 301 155 distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 302 303 156 customarily used for software interchange; or, 304 157 305 306 307 158 c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 308 309 159 to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is 310 311 160 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 312 313 161 received the program in object code or executable form with such 314 315 162 an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 316 163 317 318 319 164 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 320 321 165 making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source 322 323 166 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 324 325 167 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 326 327 168 control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a 328 329 169 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 330 331 170 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 332 333 171 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 334 335 172 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 336 337 173 itself accompanies the executable. 338 174 339 340 341 175 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 342 343 176 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 344 345 177 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 346 347 178 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 348 349 179 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 350 180 351 352 353 181 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 354 355 182 except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt 356 357 183 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 358 359 184 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 360 361 185 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 362 363 186 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 364 365 187 parties remain in full compliance. 366 188 367 368 369 189 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 370 371 190 signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 372 373 191 distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are 374 375 192 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by 376 377 193 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 378 379 194 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 380 381 195 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 382 383 196 the Program or works based on it. 384 197 385 386 387 198 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 388 389 199 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 390 391 200 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 392 393 201 these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further 394 395 202 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 396 397 203 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 398 399 204 this License. 400 205 401 402 403 206 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 404 405 207 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 406 407 208 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 408 409 209 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 410 411 210 excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot 412 413 211 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 414 415 212 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 416 417 213 may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 418 419 214 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 420 421 215 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 422 423 216 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 424 425 217 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 426 218 427 428 429 219 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 430 431 220 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 432 433 221 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 434 435 222 circumstances. 436 223 437 438 439 224 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 440 441 225 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 442 443 226 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 444 445 227 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 446 447 228 implemented by public license practices. Many people have made 448 449 229 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 450 451 230 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 452 453 231 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 454 455 232 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 456 457 233 impose that choice. 458 234 459 460 461 235 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 462 463 236 be a consequence of the rest of this License. 464 237 465 466 467 238 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 468 469 239 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 470 471 240 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 472 473 241 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 474 475 242 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 476 477 243 countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates 478 479 244 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 480 245 481 482 483 246 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 484 485 247 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 486 487 248 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 488 489 249 address new problems or concerns. 490 250 491 492 493 251 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 494 495 252 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 496 497 253 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 498 499 254 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 500 501 255 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 502 503 256 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 504 505 257 Foundation. 506 258 507 508 509 259 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 510 511 260 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 512 513 261 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 514 515 262 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 516 517 263 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 518 519 264 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 520 521 265 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 522 266 523 524 525 NO WARRANTY 526 527 267 NO WARRANTY 528 268 529 269 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 530 531 270 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 532 533 271 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 534 535 272 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 536 537 273 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 538 539 274 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 540 541 275 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 542 543 276 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 544 545 277 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 546 278 547 548 549 279 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 550 551 280 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 552 553 281 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 554 555 282 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 556 557 283 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 558 559 284 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 560 561 285 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 562 563 286 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 564 565 287 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 566 288 567 568 569 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 570 289 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 571 290 }}}
