Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license
9
document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble
12

    
13
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
14
and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to
15
guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the
16
software is free for all its users.  This General Public License applies to
17
most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose
18
authors commit to using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is
19
covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
20
your programs, too.
21

    
22
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.  Our
23
General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to
24
distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish),
25
that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change
26
the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you
27
can do these things.
28

    
29
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
30
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.  These restrictions
31
translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the
32
software, or if you modify it.
33

    
34
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for
35
a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have.  You must
36
make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code.  And you must
37
show them these terms so they know their rights.
38

    
39
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2)
40
offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute
41
and/or modify the software.
42

    
43
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
44
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software.  If the
45
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
46
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced
47
by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
48

    
49
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents.  We
50
wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will
51
individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary.
52
To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for
53
everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
54

    
55
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification
56
follow.
57

    
58
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
59

    
60
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice
61
placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
62
this General Public License.  The "Program", below, refers to any such program
63
or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any
64
derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the
65
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or
66
translated into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included
67
without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as
68
"you".
69

    
70
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by
71
this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of running the Program is
72
not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents
73
constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
74
running the Program).  Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
75

    
76
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as
77
you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
78
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
79
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License
80
and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
81
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
82

    
83
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may
84
at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
85

    
86
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
87
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
88
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
89
these conditions:
90

    
91
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
92
    that you changed the files and the date of any change.
93

    
94
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or
95
    in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be
96
    licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of
97
    this License.
98

    
99
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run,
100
    you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
101
    most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an
102
    appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
103
    else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute
104
    the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy
105
    of this License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does
106
    not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is
107
    not required to print an announcement.)
108

    
109
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If identifiable
110
sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
111
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and
112
its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate
113
works.  But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a
114
work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms
115
of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
116
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
117

    
118
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your
119
rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the
120
right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on
121
the Program.
122

    
123
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
124
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
125
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
126
License.
127

    
128
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under
129
Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and
130
2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
131

    
132
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source
133
    code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
134
    on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
135

    
136
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to
137
    give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically
138
    performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the
139
    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1
140
    and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
141

    
142
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to
143
    distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is allowed only
144
    for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in
145
    object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with
146
    Subsection b above.)
147

    
148
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
149
modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source code means all
150
the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface
151
definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation
152
of the executable.  However, as a special exception, the source code
153
distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either
154
source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)
155
of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
156
itself accompanies the executable.
157

    
158
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy
159
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source
160
code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though
161
third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
162

    
163
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
164
expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
165
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
166
your rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies, or
167
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so
168
long as such parties remain in full compliance.
169

    
170
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
171
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
172
or its derivative works.  These actions are prohibited by law if you do not
173
accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or
174
any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to
175
do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
176
the Program or works based on it.
177

    
178
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program),
179
the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
180
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions.
181
You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the
182
rights granted herein.  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by
183
third parties to this License.
184

    
185
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
186
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions
187
are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that
188
contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the
189
conditions of this License.  If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy
190
simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
191
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all.
192
For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution
193
of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through
194
you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
195
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
196

    
197
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
198
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and
199
the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
200

    
201
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or
202
other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this
203
section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software
204
distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices.  Many
205
people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software
206
distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
207
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
208
distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
209
choice.
210

    
211
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
212
consequence of the rest of this License.
213

    
214
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain
215
countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original
216
copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit
217
geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that
218
distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded.  In
219
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body
220
of this License.
221

    
222
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
223
General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will be similar in
224
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems
225
or concerns.
226

    
227
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
228
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later
229
version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
230
that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
231
If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may
232
choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
233

    
234
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs
235
whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
236
permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation,
237
write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.
238
Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
239
all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
240
software generally.
241

    
242
NO WARRANTY
243

    
244
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR
245
THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
246
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE
247
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
248
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
249
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
250
PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE,
251
YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
252

    
253
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
254
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
255
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
256
GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
257
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
258
BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
259
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER
260
OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
261

    
262
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
263

    
264
How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
265

    
266
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
267
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software
268
which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
269

    
270
To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to attach
271
them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion
272
of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a
273
pointer to where the full notice is found.
274

    
275
    One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.
276

    
277
    Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
278

    
279
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it
280
    under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
281
    Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option)
282
    any later version.
283

    
284
    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT
285
    ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or
286
    FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the GNU General Public License for
287
    more details.
288

    
289
    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
290
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
291
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.
292

    
293
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
294

    
295
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
296
starts in an interactive mode:
297

    
298
    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes
299
    with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type 'show w'.  This is free
300
    software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions;
301
    type 'show c' for details.
302

    
303
The hypothetical commands 'show w' and 'show c' should show the appropriate
304
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may be
305
called something other than 'show w' and 'show c'; they could even be
306
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
307

    
308
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school,
309
if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.  Here
310
is a sample; alter the names:
311

    
312
    Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
313
    'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

318

    
319
This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
320
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
321
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
322
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
323
License instead of this License.
324

    
325

    
326
"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
327

    
328
Certain source files distributed by Oracle America and/or its affiliates are
329
subject to the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but
330
only where Oracle has expressly included in the particular source file's header
331
the words "Oracle designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath"
332
exception as provided by Oracle in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code."
333

    
334
    Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
335
    a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms and conditions of
336
    the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
337

    
338
    As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
339
    permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
340
    executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
341
    and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
342
    choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
343
    the terms and conditions of the license of that module.  An independent
344
    module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library.  If
345
    you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
346
    the library, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you do not wish to do
347
    so, delete this exception statement from your version.
