GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 
59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, 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 Library 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

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

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

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

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

one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does.
Copyright (C) yyyy name of author

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

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

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, 
write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, 
USA.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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