50 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
51 | Version 2, June 1991 | ||
52 | |||
53 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | ||
54 | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA | ||
55 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | ||
56 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | ||
57 | |||
58 | Preamble | ||
59 | |||
60 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | ||
61 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | ||
62 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | ||
63 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | ||
64 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | ||
65 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | ||
66 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | ||
67 | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to | ||
68 | your programs, too. | ||
69 | |||
70 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | ||
71 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | ||
72 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | ||
73 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | ||
74 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | ||
75 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | ||
76 | |||
77 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | ||
78 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | ||
79 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | ||
80 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | ||
81 | |||
82 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | ||
83 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | ||
84 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | ||
85 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | ||
86 | rights. | ||
87 | |||
88 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | ||
89 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | ||
90 | distribute and/or modify the software. | ||
91 | |||
92 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | ||
93 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | ||
94 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | ||
95 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | ||
96 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | ||
97 | authors' reputations. | ||
98 | |||
99 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | ||
100 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | ||
101 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | ||
102 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | ||
103 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | ||
104 | |||
105 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | ||
106 | modification follow. | ||
107 | |||
108 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | ||
109 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | ||
110 | |||
111 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains | ||
112 | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed | ||
113 | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, | ||
114 | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" | ||
115 | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: | ||
116 | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, | ||
117 | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another | ||
118 | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in | ||
119 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". | ||
120 | |||
121 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not | ||
122 | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of | ||
123 | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program | ||
124 | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the | ||
125 | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). | ||
126 | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. | ||
127 | |||
128 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's | ||
129 | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you | ||
130 | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate | ||
131 | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the | ||
132 | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; | ||
133 | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License | ||
134 | along with the Program. | ||
135 | |||
136 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and | ||
137 | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. | ||
138 | |||
139 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion | ||
140 | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and | ||
141 | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 | ||
142 | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: | ||
143 | |||
144 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices | ||
145 | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. | ||
146 | |||
147 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in | ||
148 | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any | ||
149 | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third | ||
150 | parties under the terms of this License. | ||
151 | |||
152 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively | ||
153 | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such | ||
154 | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an | ||
155 | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a | ||
156 | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide | ||
157 | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under | ||
158 | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this | ||
159 | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but | ||
160 | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on | ||
161 | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) | ||
162 | |||
163 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If | ||
164 | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, | ||
165 | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in | ||
166 | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those | ||
167 | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you | ||
168 | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based | ||
169 | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of | ||
170 | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the | ||
171 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. | ||
172 | |||
173 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest | ||
174 | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to | ||
175 | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or | ||
176 | collective works based on the Program. | ||
177 | |||
178 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program | ||
179 | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of | ||
180 | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under | ||
181 | the scope of this License. | ||
182 | |||
183 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, | ||
184 | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | ||
185 | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | ||
186 | |||
187 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | ||
188 | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections | ||
189 | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, | ||
190 | |||
191 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | ||
192 | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your | ||
193 | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete | ||
194 | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be | ||
195 | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium | ||
196 | customarily used for software interchange; or, | ||
197 | |||
198 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer | ||
199 | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is | ||
200 | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | ||
201 | received the program in object code or executable form with such | ||
202 | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) | ||
203 | |||
204 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for | ||
205 | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source | ||
206 | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any | ||
207 | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to | ||
208 | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a | ||
209 | special exception, the source code distributed need not include | ||
210 | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary | ||
211 | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the | ||
212 | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component | ||
213 | itself accompanies the executable. | ||
214 | |||
215 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering | ||
216 | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent | ||
217 | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as | ||
218 | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not | ||
219 | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. | ||
220 | |||
221 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program | ||
222 | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt | ||
223 | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is | ||
224 | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. | ||
225 | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under | ||
226 | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such | ||
227 | parties remain in full compliance. | ||
228 | |||
229 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not | ||
230 | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or | ||
231 | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are | ||
232 | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by | ||
233 | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the | ||
234 | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and | ||
235 | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying | ||
236 | the Program or works based on it. | ||
237 | |||
238 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | ||
239 | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the | ||
240 | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to | ||
241 | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further | ||
242 | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | ||
243 | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to | ||
244 | this License. | ||
245 | |||
246 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent | ||
247 | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), | ||
248 | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or | ||
249 | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not | ||
250 | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot | ||
251 | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this | ||
252 | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you | ||
253 | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent | ||
254 | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by | ||
255 | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then | ||
256 | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to | ||
257 | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. | ||
258 | |||
259 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under | ||
260 | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to | ||
261 | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other | ||
262 | circumstances. | ||
263 | |||
264 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any | ||
265 | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any | ||
266 | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the | ||
267 | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is | ||
268 | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made | ||
269 | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed | ||
270 | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that | ||
271 | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing | ||
272 | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot | ||
273 | impose that choice. | ||
274 | |||
275 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to | ||
276 | be a consequence of the rest of this License. | ||
277 | |||
278 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in | ||
279 | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the | ||
280 | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License | ||
281 | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding | ||
282 | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among | ||
283 | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates | ||
284 | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. | ||
285 | |||
286 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | ||
287 | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | ||
288 | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | ||
289 | address new problems or concerns. | ||
290 | |||
291 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | ||
292 | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any | ||
293 | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | ||
294 | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | ||
295 | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | ||
296 | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | ||
297 | Foundation. | ||
298 | |||
299 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | ||
300 | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | ||
301 | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | ||
302 | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | ||
303 | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | ||
304 | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | ||
305 | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | ||
306 | |||
307 | NO WARRANTY | ||
308 | |||
309 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | ||
310 | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | ||
311 | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | ||
312 | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED | ||
313 | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | ||
314 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | ||
315 | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | ||
316 | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | ||
317 | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | ||
318 | |||
319 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | ||
320 | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | ||
321 | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | ||
322 | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | ||
323 | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | ||
324 | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | ||
325 | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | ||
326 | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | ||
327 | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | ||
