31\subsection*{Preamble}
32The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
33share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is
34intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software---to
35make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public
36License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to
37any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free
38Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public
39License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
40
41When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
42Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the
43freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service
44if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
45that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs;
46and that you know you can do these things.
47
48To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to
49deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These
50restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
51distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
52
53For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or
54for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You
55must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And
56you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
57
58We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
59offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
60distribute and/or modify the software.
61
62Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
63everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If
64the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its
65recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any
66problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
67reputations.
68
69Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.
70We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
71individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program
72proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must
73be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
74
75The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
76modification follow.

82
83
84\begin{enumerate}
85
86\addtocounter{enumi}{-1}
87
88\item
89
90This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
91placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the
92terms of this General Public License. The ``Program'', below, refers to
93any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program'' means either
94the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a
95work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with
96modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter,
97translation is included without limitation in the term ``modification''.)
98Each licensee is addressed as ``you''.
99
100Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
101covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
102running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
103is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
104Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
105Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
106
107\item You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
108 code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
109 and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice
110 and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to
111 this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
112 recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
113
114You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you
115may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
116
117\item
118
119You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
120of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
121distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
122above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
123
124\begin{enumerate}
125
126\item
127
128You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
129you changed the files and the date of any change.
130
131\item
132
133You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
134whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
135part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
136parties under the terms of this License.
137
138\item
139If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
140when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
141interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
142announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
143notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
144a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
145these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
146License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
147does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
148the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
149
150\end{enumerate}
151
152
153These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
154identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
155and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
156themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
157sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
158distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
159on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
160this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
161entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
162
163Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
164your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
165exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
166collective works based on the Program.
167
168In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
169with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
170a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
171the scope of this License.
172
173\item
174You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
175under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
176Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
177
178\begin{enumerate}
179
180\item
181
182Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
183source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1841 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
185
186\item
187
188Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
189years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
190cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
191machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
192distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
193customarily used for software interchange; or,
194
195\item
196
197Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
198to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
199allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
200received the program in object code or executable form with such
201an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
202
203\end{enumerate}
204
205
206The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
207making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
208code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
209associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
210control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
211special exception, the source code distributed need not include
212anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
213form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
214operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
215itself accompanies the executable.
216
217If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
218access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
219access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
220distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
221compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
222
223\item
224You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
225except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
226otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
227void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
228However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
229this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
230parties remain in full compliance.
231
232\item
233You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
234signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
235distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
236prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
237modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
238Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
239all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
240the Program or works based on it.
241
242\item
243Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
244Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
245original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
246these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
247restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
248You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
249this License.
250
251\item
252If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
253infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
254conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
255otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
256excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
257distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
258License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
259may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
260license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
261all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
262the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
263refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
264
265If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
266any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
267apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
268circumstances.
269
270It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
271patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
272such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
273integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
274implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
275generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
276through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
277system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
278to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
279impose that choice.
280
281This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
282be a consequence of the rest of this License.
283
284\item
285If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
286certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
287original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
288may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
289those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
290countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
291the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
292
293\item
294The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
295of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
296be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
297address new problems or concerns.
298
299Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
300specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
301later version'', you have the option of following the terms and conditions
302either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
303Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
304this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
305Foundation.
306
307\item
308If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
309programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
310to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
311Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
312make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
313of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
314of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

354\section*{Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs}
355
356If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
357possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
358free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
359terms.
360
361 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
362 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
363 the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
364 ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
365
366\begin{quote}
367{\textless}one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it
368does.{\textgreater} \\
369Copyright (C) {\textless}year{\textgreater} {\textless}name of
370author{\textgreater} \\
371
372This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
373it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
374the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
375(at your option) any later version.
376
377This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
378but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
379MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
380GNU General Public License for more details.
381
382You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
383along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
384Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
385\end{quote}
386
387Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
388
389If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
390when it starts in an interactive mode:
391
392\begin{quote}
393Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) {\textless}year{\textgreater}
394{\textless}name of author{\textgreater} \\
395Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. \\
396This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
397under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
398\end{quote}
399
400
401The hypothetical commands {\tt show w} and {\tt show c} should show the
402appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands
403you use may be called something other than {\tt show w} and {\tt show c};
404they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever suits your
405program.
406
407You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
408school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
409necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
410
411\begin{quote}
412Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program \\
413`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. \\
414
415{\textless}signature of Ty Coon{\textgreater}, 1 April 1989 \\
416Ty Coon, President of Vice
417\end{quote}
418
419
420This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
421into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
422may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
423with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library
424General Public License instead of this License.
