By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to + guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the + software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to + most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose + authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is + covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply + it to your programs, too. + + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. + Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the + freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service + if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, + that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; + and that you know you can do these things. + + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to + deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions + translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the + software, or if you modify it. + + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or + for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. + You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. + And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. + + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and + (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, + distribute and/or modify the software. + + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that + everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. + If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its + recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any + problems introduced by others will not reflect on the + original authors' reputations. + + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. + We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will + individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. + To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for + everyone's free use or not licensed at all. + + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution + and modification follow. + + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION + + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice + placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms + of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such + program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program + or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing + the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or + translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included + without limitation in the term "modification".) + Each licensee is addressed as "you". + + Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered + by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program + is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its + contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been + made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on + what the Program does. + + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code + as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and + appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and + disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this + License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients + of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. + + You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you + may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. + + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, + thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such + modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you + also meet all of these conditions: + + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating + that you changed the files and the date of any change. + + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole + or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, + to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under + the terms of this License. + + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, + you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the + most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an + appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty + (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may + redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how + to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is + interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work + based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) + + These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable + sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably + considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, + and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as + separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole + which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be + on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend + to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part + regardless of who wrote it. + + Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your + rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise + the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective + works based on the Program. + + In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with + the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage + or distribution medium does not bring the other work under + the scope of this License. + + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, + under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of + Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: + + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source + code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above + on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, + + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to + give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically + performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the + corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of + Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used + for software interchange; or, + + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to + distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only + for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in + object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord + with Subsection b above.) + + The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making + modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all + the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface + definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and + installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source + code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed + (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, + and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that + component itself accompanies the executable. + + If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to + copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the + source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, + even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source + along with the object code. + + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as + expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, + sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate + your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, + or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses + terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. + + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. + However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the + Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you + do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program + (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this + License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing + or modifying the Program or works based on it. + + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), + the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor + to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms + and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' + exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing + compliance by third parties to this License. + + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent + infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), + conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) + that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from + the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy + simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent + obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. + For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution + of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly + through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License + would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. + + If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any + particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply + and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. + + It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents + or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; + this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free + software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. + Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software + distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of + that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing + to distribute software through any other system and a licensee + cannot impose that choice. + + This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a + consequence of the rest of this License. + + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain + countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original + copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit + geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that + distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. + In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written + in the body of this License. + + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the + General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar + in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address + new problems or concerns. + + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program + specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and + "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions + either of that version or of any later version published by the + Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of + this License, you may choose any version ever published + by the Free Software Foundation. + + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs + whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for + permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, + write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. + Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of + all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing + and reuse of software generally. + + NO WARRANTY + + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR + THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE + STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE + PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, + INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND + FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND + PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, + YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. + + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL + ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE + THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY + GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE + OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA + OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES + OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF + SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. + + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS +
