+
+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
+
+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+
+
+                            Preamble
+
+
+
+  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+
+freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
+
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+
+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
+
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+
+using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
+
+your programs, too.
+
+
+
+  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+
+price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+
+
+  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+
+
+  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+
+you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+
+source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+
+rights.
+
+
+
+  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+
+
+  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+
+software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+
+authors' reputations.
+
+
+
+  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+
+patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+
+program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+
+
+  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+
+modification follow.
+
+
+
+                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+
+   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+
+
+  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+
+under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+
+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+
+language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+
+the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+
+
+  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+
+along with the Program.
+
+
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+
+
+  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+
+
+    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+
+    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+
+
+    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+
+    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+
+    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+
+    parties under the terms of this License.
+
+
+
+    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+
+    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+
+    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+
+    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+
+    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+
+    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+
+    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+
+    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+
+    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+
+    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+
+sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+
+the scope of this License.
+
+
+
+  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+
+
+    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+
+    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+
+    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+
+
+    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+
+    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+
+    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+
+    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+
+    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+
+    customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+
+
+    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+
+    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+
+    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+
+    received the program in object code or executable form with such
+
+    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+
+making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+
+control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+
+
+  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+
+except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+
+
+  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+
+signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+
+distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+
+the Program or works based on it.
+
+
+
+  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+
+these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+
+this License.
+
+
+
+  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+
+excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
+
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+
+may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
+
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+
+circumstances.
+
+
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+
+implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
+
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+
+impose that choice.
+
+
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+
+
+  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+
+countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
+
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+
+
+  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+
+of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
+
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
+
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
+
+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+
+Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
+
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+
+Foundation.
+
+
+
+  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+
+to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+
+make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
+
+
+
+                            NO WARRANTY
+
+
+
+  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
+
+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
+
+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
+
+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
+
+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
+
+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
+
+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
+
+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
+
+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+
+
+  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
+
+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
+
+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
+
+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
+
+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
+
+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
+
+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
+
+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
+
+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
+
+
+
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
