GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
|
||
Version 1, February 1989
|
||
|
||
Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
|
||
51 Franklin St, 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 license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
|
||
at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our 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. The
|
||
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
|
||
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
|
||
You can use it for your programs, too.
|
||
|
||
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
|
||
price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
|
||
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
|
||
software, 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 a 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 tell them 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.
|
||
|
||
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 Agreement 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 work containing the
|
||
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each
|
||
licensee is addressed as "you".
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
|
||
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
|
||
along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
|
||
transferring a copy.
|
||
|
||
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
|
||
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
|
||
1 above, provided that you also do the following:
|
||
|
||
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
|
||
you changed the files and the date of any change; and
|
||
|
||
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
|
||
in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
|
||
with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
|
||
third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
|
||
that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
|
||
third parties, at your option).
|
||
|
||
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
|
||
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
|
||
in the simplest and most usual 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 General
|
||
Public License.
|
||
|
||
d) 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.
|
||
|
||
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
|
||
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
|
||
the other work under the scope of these terms.
|
||
|
||
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
|
||
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
|
||
Paragraphs 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
|
||
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
|
||
|
||
b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
|
||
years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
|
||
for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
|
||
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
|
||
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
|
||
|
||
c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
|
||
corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
|
||
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
|
||
received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
|
||
|
||
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
|
||
modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means
|
||
all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
|
||
exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
|
||
libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
|
||
file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
|
||
accompany that operating system.
|
||
|
||
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
|
||
Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
|
||
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
|
||
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
|
||
the Program under this License. However, parties who have received
|
||
copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
|
||
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
|
||
remain in full compliance.
|
||
|
||
5. By copying, distributing or modifying 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.
|
||
|
||
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.
|
||
|
||
7. 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 the 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
|
||
the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
|
||
Foundation.
|
||
|
||
8. 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
|
||
|
||
9. 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.
|
||
|
||
10. 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.
