1 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
2 Version 1, February 1989 | |
3 | |
4 Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
5 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA | |
6 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
7 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
8 | |
9 Preamble | |
10 | |
11 The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users | |
12 at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public | |
13 License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | |
14 software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The | |
15 General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's | |
16 software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. | |
17 You can use it for your programs, too. | |
18 | |
19 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
20 price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make | |
21 sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free | |
22 software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, | |
23 that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free | |
24 programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
25 | |
26 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
27 anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
28 These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | |
29 distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | |
30 | |
31 For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether | |
32 gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | |
33 you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
34 source code. And you must tell them their rights. | |
35 | |
36 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | |
37 (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | |
38 distribute and/or modify the software. | |
39 | |
40 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | |
41 that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
42 software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
43 want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | |
44 that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | |
45 authors' reputations. | |
46 | |
47 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
48 modification follow. | |
49 | |
50 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
51 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION | |
52 | |
53 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which | |
54 contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be | |
55 distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The | |
56 "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based | |
57 on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the | |
58 Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each | |
59 licensee is addressed as "you". | |
60 | |
61 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source | |
62 code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and | |
63 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and | |
64 disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this | |
65 General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any | |
66 other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License | |
67 along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of | |
68 transferring a copy. | |
69 | |
70 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of | |
71 it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph | |
72 1 above, provided that you also do the following: | |
73 | |
74 a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that | |
75 you changed the files and the date of any change; and | |
76 | |
77 b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that | |
78 in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either | |
79 with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all | |
80 third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except | |
81 that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all | |
82 third parties, at your option). | |
83 | |
84 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when | |
85 run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use | |
86 in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an | |
87 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice | |
88 that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a | |
89 warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these | |
90 conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General | |
91 Public License. | |
92 | |
93 d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a | |
94 copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in | |
95 exchange for a fee. | |
96 | |
97 Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its | |
98 derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring | |
99 the other work under the scope of these terms. | |
100 | |
101 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of | |
102 it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of | |
103 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: | |
104 | |
105 a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable | |
106 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of | |
107 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, | |
108 | |
109 b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three | |
110 years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge | |
111 for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the | |
112 corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of | |
113 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, | |
114 | |
115 c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the | |
116 corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is | |
117 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you | |
118 received the program in object code or executable form alone.) | |
119 | |
120 Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making | |
121 modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means | |
122 all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special | |
123 exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard | |
124 libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable | |
125 file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that | |
126 accompany that operating system. | |
127 | |
128 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the | |
129 Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. | |
130 Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer | |
131 the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use | |
132 the Program under this License. However, parties who have received | |
133 copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public | |
134 License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties | |
135 remain in full compliance. | |
136 | |
137 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based | |
138 on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, | |
139 and all its terms and conditions. | |
140 | |
141 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the | |
142 Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original | |
143 licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these | |
144 terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the | |
145 recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. | |
146 | |
147 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions | |
148 of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will | |
149 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to | |
150 address new problems or concerns. | |
151 | |
152 Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program | |
153 specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any | |
154 later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions | |
155 either of that version or of any later version published by the Free | |
156 Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of | |
157 the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software | |
158 Foundation. | |
159 | |
160 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free | |
161 programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author | |
162 to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free | |
163 Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes | |
164 make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals | |
165 of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and | |
166 of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. | |
167 | |
168 NO WARRANTY | |
169 | |
170 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY | |
171 FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN | |
172 OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES | |
173 PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED | |
174 OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF | |
175 MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS | |
176 TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE | |
177 PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, | |
178 REPAIR OR CORRECTION. | |
179 | |
180 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING | |
181 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR | |
182 REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, | |
183 INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING | |
184 OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED | |
185 TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY | |
186 YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER | |
187 PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE | |
188 POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. | |
189 | |
190 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS | |
191 | |
192 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs | |
193 | |
194 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest | |
195 possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it | |
196 free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these | |
197 terms. | |
198 | |
199 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to | |
200 attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey | |
201 the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the | |
202 "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. | |
203 | |
204 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> | |
205 Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> | |
206 | |
207 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify | |
208 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by | |
209 the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) | |
210 any later version. | |
211 | |
212 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, | |
213 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of | |
214 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the | |
215 GNU General Public License for more details. | |
216 | |
217 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License | |
218 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, | |
219 Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. | |
220 | |
221 Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. | |
222 | |
223 If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this | |
224 when it starts in an interactive mode: | |
225 | |
226 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author | |
227 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. | |
228 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it | |
229 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. | |
230 | |
231 The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the | |
232 appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the | |
233 commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show | |
234 c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your | |
235 program. | |
236 | |
237 You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your | |
238 school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if | |
239 necessary. Here a sample; alter the names: | |
240 | |
241 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the | |
242 program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes | |
243 at assemblers) written by James Hacker. | |
244 | |

248 That's all there is to it! |
