GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
V ersion 2, June 1991
Copyrigh t (C) 1989, 1991 Free Softwar e Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street , Fifth Floor , Boston, M A 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to c opy and distribute verbatim c opies of this license document,
but changing it is not allowed .
Preamble
The licenses for most softwar e are designed to take a way your fr eedom to share and
change it. By contrast , the GNU General Public License is int ended to guarantee your
freedom to shar e and change free software--to make sur e the software is free for all
its users. This General P ublic License applies to most of the Free Softwar e Foundation ’ s
software and to any other pr ogram whose authors commit to using it . (Some other
Free Softwar e Foundation softwar e is covered b y the GNU Lesser General Public License
instead.) Y ou can apply it t o your programs , too .
When we speak of fr ee software, we ar e referring to fr eedom, not price. Our General
Public Licenses are designed t o make sure that y ou have the fr eedom to distribute copies
of free software (and char ge for this service if you wish), that you receiv e source code or
can get it if you want it , that you can change the softwar e or use pieces of it in new free
programs; and that y ou know you can do these things.
T o prot ect your rights, we need to mak e restrictions that forbid anyone t o deny you these
rights or to ask you t o surrender the rights.
These restrictions translat e to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute c opies of the
software, or if y ou modify it.
For example , if you distribute copies of such a pr ogram, whether gratis or for a fee, you
must give the recipien ts all the rights that you hav e. Y ou must make sur e that they , too ,
receiv e or can get the source code. And y ou must show them these terms so they know
their rights.
W e protect your rights with two steps: (1) c opyright the software, and (2) offer y ou this
license which gives y ou legal permission to copy , distribute and/or modify the software .
Also , for each author’ s protection and ours, w e want to make c er tain that ev er yone
understands that there is no w arranty for this free software. If the softwar e is modified
by someone else and passed on, we wan t its recipients to know tha t what they have is
not the original, so that any pr oblems introduced b y others will not reflect on the original
authors’ r eputations.
Finally , any fr ee program is threat ened constantly by software pa tents. W e wish to av oid
the danger that redistributors of a fr ee program will individually obtain pat ent licenses,
in effect making the program proprietary . T o prevent this , we hav e made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for ev eryone’ s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise t erms and conditions for copying, distribution and modifica tion follow .
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS
AND CONDITIONS FOR C OPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICA TION
0. This License applies to any pr ogram or other work which contains a notic e placed by
the copyright holder saying it ma y be distributed under the terms of this General Public
License. The “P rogram ” , below , refers t o any such program or w ork, and a “work based
on the Program ” means either the P rogram or any deriva tive work under cop yright
law: that is to sa y , a work containing the Pr ogram or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modifications and/or translat ed into another language. (Hereinaft er , translation
is included without limitation in the term “ modification ” .) Each licensee is addr essed as
“you” .
Activities other than copying, distribution and modifica tion are not cov ered by this
License; they are outside its scope . T he act of running the Program is not restricted, and
the output from the Pr ogram is cover ed only if its contents constitute a w ork based on the
Program (independen t of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Pr ogram does.
1. Y ou may copy and distribut e verbatim copies of the Pr ogram’ s source code as you
receiv e it, in any medium, provided tha t you conspicuously and appropria tely publish on
each copy an appropria te copyright notice and disclaimer of w arranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer t o this License and to the absence of any warr anty; and give any other
recipients of the Pr ogram a copy of this License along with the Pr ogram.
Y ou may char ge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy , and you may a t your
option offer warranty prot ection in exchange for a fee.
2. Y ou may modify your c opy or copies of the Program or an y por tion of it, thus forming
a work based on the Pr ogram, and copy and distribute such modifications or w ork under
the terms of Section 1 above, pro vided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) Y ou must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that y ou
changed the files and the date of any change .
b) Y ou must cause any work tha t you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains or is derived fr om the Program or any part thereof , to be licensed as a whole
at no charge to all thir d parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally r eads 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 announcemen t including an appropriate cop yright notice and a
notice that there is no w arranty (or else, saying tha t you provide a w arranty) and that
users may redistribut e the program under these conditions, and t elling the user how
to view a copy of this License .
(Exception: if the Pr ogram itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, y our work based on the Progr am is not required to print an
announcement.)
These requir ements apply to the modified work as a whole . If identifiable sections of that
work are not deriv ed from the Progr am, and can be reasonably considered independent
and separate w orks in themselves, then this License , and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate w orks. But when you distribute the same
sections as par t of a whole which is a work based on the Pr ogram, the distribution of the
whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees e xtend
to the entire whole , and thus to each and every par t regar dless of who wrote it.
