18: Version 2, June 1991
19:
20: Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
21: 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
22: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
23: of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
24:
25: Preamble
26:
27: The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
28: freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
29: License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
30: software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
31: General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
32: Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
33: using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
34: the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
35: your programs, too.
36:
37: When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
38: price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
39: have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
40: this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
41: if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
42: in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
43:
44: To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
45: anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
46: These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
47: distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
48:
49: For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
50: gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
51: you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
52: source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
53: rights.
54:
55: We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
56: (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
57: distribute and/or modify the software.
58:
59: Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
60: that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
61: software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
62: want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
63: that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
64: authors' reputations.
65:
66: Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
67: patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
68: program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
69: program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
70: patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
71:
72: The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
73: modification follow.
1.2 ! veillard 74:
1.1 veillard 75: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
76: TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
77:
78: 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
79: a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
80: under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
81: refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
82: means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
83: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
84: either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
85: language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
86: the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
87:
88: Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
89: covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
90: running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
91: is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
92: Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
93: Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
94:
95: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
96: source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
97: conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
98: copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
99: notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
100: and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
101: along with the Program.
102:
103: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
104: you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
105:
106: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
107: of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
108: distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
109: above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
110:
111: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
112: stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
113:
114: b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
115: whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
116: part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
117: parties under the terms of this License.
118:
119: c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
120: when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
121: interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
122: announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
123: notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
124: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
125: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
126: License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
127: does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
128: the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
1.2 ! veillard 129:
1.1 veillard 130: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
131: identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
132: and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
133: themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
134: sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
135: distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
136: on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
137: this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
138: entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
139:
140: Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
141: your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
142: exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
143: collective works based on the Program.
144:
145: In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
146: with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
147: a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
148: the scope of this License.
149:
150: 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
151: under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
152: Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
153:
154: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
155: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
156: 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
157:
158: b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
159: years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
160: cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
161: machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
162: distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
163: customarily used for software interchange; or,
164:
165: c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
166: to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
167: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
168: received the program in object code or executable form with such
169: an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
170:
171: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
172: making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
173: code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
174: associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
175: control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
176: special exception, the source code distributed need not include
177: anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
178: form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
179: operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
180: itself accompanies the executable.
181:
182: If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
183: access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
184: access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
185: distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
186: compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
1.2 ! veillard 187:
1.1 veillard 188: 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
189: except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
190: otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
191: void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
192: However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
193: this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
194: parties remain in full compliance.
195:
196: 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
197: signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
198: distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
199: prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
200: modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
201: Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
202: all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
203: the Program or works based on it.
204:
205: 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
206: Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
207: original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
208: these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
209: restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
210: You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
211: this License.
212:
213: 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
214: infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
215: conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
216: otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
217: excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
218: distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
219: License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
220: may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
221: license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
222: all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
223: the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
224: refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
225:
226: If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
227: any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
228: apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
229: circumstances.
230:
231: It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
232: patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
233: such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
234: integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
235: implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
236: generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
237: through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
238: system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
239: to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
240: impose that choice.
241:
242: This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
243: be a consequence of the rest of this License.
1.2 ! veillard 244:
1.1 veillard 245: 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
246: certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
247: original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
248: may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
249: those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
250: countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
251: the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
252:
253: 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
254: of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
255: be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
256: address new problems or concerns.
257:
258: Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
259: specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
260: later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
261: either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
262: Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
263: this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
264: Foundation.
265:
266: 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
267: programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
268: to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
269: Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
270: make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
271: of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
272: of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
273:
274: NO WARRANTY
275:
276: 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
277: FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
278: OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
279: PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
280: OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
281: MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
282: TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
283: PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
284: REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
285:
286: 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
287: WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
288: REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
289: INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
290: OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
291: TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
292: YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
293: PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
294: POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
295:
296: END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1.2 ! veillard 297:
1.1 veillard 298: Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
299:
300: If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
301: possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
302: free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
303:
304: To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
305: to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
306: convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
307: the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
308:
1.2 ! veillard 309: <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
! 310: Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
1.1 veillard 311:
312: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
313: it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
314: the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
315: (at your option) any later version.
316:
317: This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
318: but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
319: MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
320: GNU General Public License for more details.
321:
322: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
323: along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
324: Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
325:
326: Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
327:
328: If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
329: when it starts in an interactive mode:
330:
331: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
332: Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
333: This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
334: under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
335:
336: The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
337: parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
338: be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
339: mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
340:
341: You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
342: school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
343: necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
344:
345: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
346: `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

1.2 ! veillard 348: <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
1.1 veillard 349: Ty Coon, President of Vice
350:
351: This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
352: proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
353: consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
354: library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
355: Public License instead of this License.
