-
  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.

    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
-
-
+                            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
-
+                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
