    12   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your 
    13 freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public 
    14 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 
    15 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This 
    16 General Public License applies to most of the Free Software 
    17 Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to 
    18 using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by 
    19 the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to

     11Preamble 
     12 
     13The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share 
     14and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to 
     15guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the 
     16software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most 
     17of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose 
     18authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is 
     19covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to 
    2020your programs, too. 
    2121 
    22   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 
    23 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you 
    24 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for 
    25 this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it 
    26 if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it 
    27 in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. 
    28  
    29   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 
    30 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 
    31 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 
    32 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 
    33  
    34   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether 
    35 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 
    36 you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 
    37 source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their 
    38 rights. 
    39  
    40   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 
    41 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 
    42 distribute and/or modify the software. 
    43  
    44   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 
    45 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 
    46 software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 
    47 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 
    48 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 
    49 authors' reputations. 
    50  
    51   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 
    52 patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free 
    53 program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the 
    54 program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any 
    55 patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. 
    56  
    57   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 
    58 modification follow. 
    59   
    60                     GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 
    61    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
    62  
    63   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains 
    64 a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed 
    65 under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below, 
    66 refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" 
    67 means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: 
    68 that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, 
    69 either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another 
    70 language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in 
    71 the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you". 
    72  
    73 Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not 
    74 covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of 
    75 running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program 
    76 is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the 
    77 Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). 
    78 Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 
    79  
    80   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's 
    81 source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you 
    82 conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate 
    83 copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the 
    84 notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; 
    85 and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 
     22When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our 
     23General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to 
     24distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), 
     25that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change 
     26the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can 
     27do these things. 
     28 
     29To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny 
     30you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions 
     31translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the 
     32software, or if you modify it. 
     33 
     34For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a 
     35fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make 
     36sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them 
     37these terms so they know their rights. 
     38 
     39We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer 
     40you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or 
     41modify the software. 
     42 
     43Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that 
     44everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the 
     45software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to 
     46know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by 
     47others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. 
     48 
     49Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish 
     50to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually 
     51obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent 
     52this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free 
     53use or not licensed at all. 
     54 
     55The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification 
     56follow.  
     57 
     58TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 
     59 
     600. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice 
     61placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of 
     62this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or 
     63work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any 
     64derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the 
     65Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or 
     66translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without 
     67limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". 
     68 
     69Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by 
     70this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not 
     71restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents 
     72constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by 
     73running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 
     74 
     751. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as 
     76you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately 
     77publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; 
     78keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any 
     79warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License 
    8680along with the Program. 
    8781 
    88 You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and 
    89 you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
    90  
    91   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion 
    92 of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and 
    93 distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 
    94 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: 
    95  
    96     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices 
    97     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. 
    98  
    99     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in 
    100     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any 
    101     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third 
    102     parties under the terms of this License. 
    103  
    104     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively 
    105     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such 
    106     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an 
    107     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a 
    108     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide 
    109     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under 
    110     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 
    111     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but 
    112     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on 
    113     the Program is not required to print an announcement.) 
    114   
    115 These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If 
    116 identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, 
    117 and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in 
    118 themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those 
    119 sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you 
    120 distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based 
    121 on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 
    122 this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the 
    123 entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 
    124  
    125 Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest 
    126 your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to 
    127 exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or 
    128 collective works based on the Program. 
    129  
    130 In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program 
    131 with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of 
    132 a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under 
    133 the scope of this License. 
    134  
    135   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, 
    136 under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 
    137 Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 
    138  
    139     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 
    140     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 
    141     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
    142  
    143     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 
    144     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your 
    145     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete 
    146     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be 
    147     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium 
    148     customarily used for software interchange; or, 
    149  
    150     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer 
    151     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is 
    152     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 
    153     received the program in object code or executable form with such 
    154     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) 
    155  
    156 The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for 
    157 making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source 
    158 code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any 
    159 associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to 
    160 control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a 
    161 special exception, the source code distributed need not include 
    162 anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary 
    163 form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 
    164 operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component 
    165 itself accompanies the executable. 
    166  
    167 If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering 
    168 access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent 
    169 access to copy the source code from the same place counts as 
    170 distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not 
    171 compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 
    172   
    173   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program 
    174 except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt 
    175 otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is 
    176 void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. 
    177 However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under 
    178 this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such 
    179 parties remain in full compliance. 
    180  
    181   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not 
    182 signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or 
    183 distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are 
    184 prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by 
    185 modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the 
    186 Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and 
    187 all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying 
    188 the Program or works based on it. 
    189  
    190   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 
    191 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the 
    192 original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to 
    193 these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further 
    194 restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 
    195 You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to 
    196 this License. 
    197  
    198   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent 
    199 infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), 
    200 conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or 
    201 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not 
    202 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot 
    203 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this 
    204 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you 
    205 may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent 
    206 license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by 
    207 all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then 
    208 the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to 
    209 refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. 
    210  
    211 If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under 
    212 any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to 
    213 apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other 
    214 circumstances. 
    215  
    216 It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any 
    217 patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any 
    218 such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the 
    219 integrity of the free software distribution system, which is 
    220 implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made 
    221 generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed 
    222 through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 
    223 system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing 
    224 to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot 
    225 impose that choice. 
    226  
    227 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to 
    228 be a consequence of the rest of this License. 
    229   
    230   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in 
    231 certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the 
    232 original copyright holder who places the Program under this License 
    233 may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding 
    234 those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among 
    235 countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates 
    236 the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 
    237  
    238   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 
    239 of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will 
    240 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 
    241 address new problems or concerns. 
    242  
    243 Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program 
    244 specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any 
    245 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 
    246 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 
    247 Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of 
    248 this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 
    249 Foundation. 
    250  
    251   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 
    252 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 
    253 to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free 
    254 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 
    255 make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals 
    256 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 
    257 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 
    258  
    259                             NO WARRANTY 
    260  
    261   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 
    262 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN 
    263 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 
    264 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 
    265 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 
    266 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS 
    267 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE 
    268 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 
    269 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 
    270  
    271   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 
    272 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 
    273 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 
    274 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 
    275 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 
    276 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 
    277 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 
    278 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 
    279 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 
    280  
    281                      END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
    282   
    283         Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 
    284  
    285   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 
    286 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it 
    287 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 
    288  
    289   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest 
    290 to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively 
    291 convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least 
    292 the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 
    293  
    294     <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 
    295     Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author> 
    296  
    297     This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 
    298     it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 
    299     the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or 
    300     (at your option) any later version.

    302     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 
    303     but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 
    304     MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the 
    305     GNU General Public License for more details. 
    306  
    307     You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 
    308     along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 
    309     Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. 
     82You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at 
     83your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 
     84 
     852. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus 
     86forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications 
     87or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of 
     88these conditions: 
     89 
     90    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that 
     91    you changed the files and the date of any change. 
     92 
     93    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or 
     94    in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be 
     95    licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of 
     96    this License. 
     97 
     98    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, 
     99    you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most 
     100    ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate 
     101    copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying 
     102    that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program 
     103    under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this 
     104    License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not 
     105    normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not 
     106    required to print an announcement.) 
     107 
     108These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable 
     109sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably 
     110considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and 
     111its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate 
     112works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a 
     113work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of 
     114this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, 
     115and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. 
     116 
     117Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your 
     118rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the 
     119right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the 
     120Program. 
     121 
     122In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the 
     123Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or 
     124distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this 
     125License. 
     126 
     1273. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 
     1282) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above 
     129provided that you also do one of the following: 
     130 
     131    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source 
     132    code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on 
     133    a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
     134 
     135    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to 
     136    give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically 
     137    performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the 
     138    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 
     139    and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, 
     140 
     141    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to 
     142    distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for 
     143    noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object 
     144    code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b 
     145    above.) 
     146 
     147The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 
     148modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the 
     149source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface 
     150definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation 
     151of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed 
     152need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or 
     153binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the 
     154operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself 
     155accompanies the executable. 
     156 
     157If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy 
     158from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code 
     159from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third 
     160parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 
     161 
     1624. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as 
     163expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, 
     164sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate 
     165your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or 
     166rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so 
     167long as such parties remain in full compliance. 
     168 
     1695. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. 
     170However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program 
     171or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not 
     172accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any 
     173work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do 
     174so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the 
     175Program or works based on it. 
     176 
     1776. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), 
     178the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to 
     179copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. 
     180You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the 
     181rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third 
     182parties to this License. 
     183 
     1847. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement 
     185or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed 
     186on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the 
     187conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this 
     188License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your 
     189obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a 
     190consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent 
     191license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those 
     192who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you 
     193could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from 
     194distribution of the Program. 
     195 
     196If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any 
     197particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the 
     198section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. 
     199 
     200It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or 
     201other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this 
     202section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software 
     203distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many 
     204people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software 
     205distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that 
     206system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to 
     207distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that 
     208choice. 
     209 
     210This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a 
     211consequence of the rest of this License. 
     212 
     2138. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain 
     214countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright 
     215holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit 
     216geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that 
     217distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such 
     218case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this 
     219License. 
     220 
     2219. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the 
     222General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in 
     223spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems 
     224or concerns. 
     225 
     226Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies 
     227a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", 
     228you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version 
     229or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the 
     230Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any 
     231version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 
     232 
     23310. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs 
     234whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for 
     235permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, 
     236write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. 
     237Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of 
     238all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of 
     239software generally. 
     240 
     241NO WARRANTY 
     242 
     24311. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE 
     244PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED 
     245IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS 
     246IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT 
     247NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 
     248PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE 
     249PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF 
     250ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 
     251 
     25212. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL 
     253ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE 
     254PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, 
     255SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY 
     256TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING 
     257RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF 
     258THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER 
     259PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 
     260 
     261END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 
     262 
     263 
     264How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 
     265 
     266If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use 
     267to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which 
     268everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. 
     269 
     270To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach 
     271them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion 
     272of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a 
     273pointer to where the full notice is found. 
     274 
     275    <one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.>  
     276    Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> 
     277 
     278    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it 
     279    under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free 
     280    Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) 
     281    any later version. 
     282 
     283    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT 
     284    ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or 
     285    FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for 
     286    more details. 
     287 
     288    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with 
     289    this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 
     290    Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA 
    310291 
    311292Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 
    312293 
    313 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 
    314 when it starts in an interactive mode: 
    315  
    316     Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author 
    317     Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 
    318     This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 
    319     under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 
     294If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it 
     295starts in an interactive mode:  
     296 
     297    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> Gnomovision 
     298    comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free 
     299    software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; 
     300    type `show c' for details. 
    320301 
    321302The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate 
    322 parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may 
    323 be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be 
     303parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be 
     304called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be 
    324305mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. 
    325306 
    326 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 
    327 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 
    328 necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names: 
    329  
    330   Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 
    331   `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

     307You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, 
     308if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is 
     309a sample; alter the names: 
     310 
     311    Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program 
     312    `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

    336317This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into 
    337 proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may 
    338 consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the 
    339 library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General 
    340 Public License instead of this License.
