Preamble
The licenses for mos t software are designed to t ak e away your
freedom to shar e and change it. By contrast, the GNU Gener al Public
License is intended to guarant ee your fr eedom to share and change
free softwar e--to make sur e the software is fr ee for all its users.
This General Public License applies to mos t of the Fr ee Software
Foundation's softw are and to any other pr ogram whose authors
commit to using it. (Some other F ree Softwar e Foundation softw are
is cover ed by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) Y ou
can apply it t o your programs, too.
When we speak of fr ee softwar e, we ar e referring to fr eedom, not
price. Our General Public Lic enses are designed to mak e sure that
you have the fr eedom to distribute copies of fr ee software (and charge
for this service if you wish), that y ou rec eive source code or c an get
it if you want it, that you can change the softwar e or use pieces of it
in new free pr ograms; and that you know you can do these things.
T o protect your rights, w e need to mak e restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or t o ask you to surr ender the rights.
These res trictions translate to certain responsibilities f or you if you
distribute copies of the softwar e, or if you modify it. For e xample, if
you distribute c opies of such a progr am, whether gratis or for a f ee,
you must give the r ecipients all the rights that you have. Y ou must
mak e sure that the y , too, receive or can get the sour ce code. And you
must show them these terms so they know their right s.
W e protect your rights with two st eps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this lic ense which gives you legal permis sion to copy ,
distribute and/or modify the softwar e.
Also, for each author‘s pr otection and ours, we want to mak e certain
that everyone unders tands that there is no warranty for this fr ee
software. If the softw are is modified by someone else and passed on,
we want its r ecipients to know that what they have is not the original,
so that any probl ems introduced by others will not r eflect on the
original authors' r eputations.
Finall y, any fr ee program is thr eatened constantl y by software
patents. W e wish to avoid the danger that redistribut ors of a fr ee
progr am will individually obtain patent lic enses, in effect making the
progr am proprietary. T o pr event this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed f or everyone‘s free use or not licensed at al l.
The precise terms and c onditions for copying, distribution and
modification foll ow.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICA TION
0. This License applies to any pr ogram or other work which contains
a notice placed by the c opyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License. The "Pr ogram", below ,
ref ers to any such program or work, and a "w ork based on the Progr am"
means either the Progr am or any derivative work under copyright
law: that is to say , a work containing the Pr ogram 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 addr essed as "you".
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification ar e not
cover ed by this License; they ar e outside its scope. The act of running
the Progr am is not restricted, and the output fr om the Program is
cover ed only if its c ontents constitut e a work based on the Program
(independent of having been made by running the Progr am). Whether
that is true depends on what the Progr am does.
1.Y ou may copy and distribute v erbatim copies of the Pr ogram‘s source
code as you r eceive it, in any medium, pro vided that you conspicuously
and appropriatel y publish on each copy an appropriat e copyright
notice and disclaimer of warranty ; keep intact all the notices that r efer
to this License and to the absence of any w arranty; and give any other
recipients of the Pr ogram a copy of this License along with the Pr ogram.
Y ou may charge a f ee for the physical act of transferring a c opy , and
you may at your option off er warranty protection in ex change for a
fee.
2. Y ou may modify your copy or copies of the Pr ogram or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Pr ogram, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, pr ovided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) Y ou must cause the modified files to carry pr ominent
notices stating that y ou changed the files and the date of any change.
b) Y ou must cause any work that 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 al l third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified progr am normall y reads commands
interactivel y when run, you must cause it, when started running f or
such interactive use in the mos t ordinary way , to print or display
an announcement including an appr opriate copyright notice and a
notice that ther e is no warranty (or else, saying that you pro vide a
warranty) and that users may r edistribute the progr am under these
conditions, and telling the user ho w to view a copy of this Lic ense.
(Exception: if the Pr ogram itself is interactive but does not normal ly
print such an announcement, your work based on the Pr ogram is not
requir ed to print an announcement.)
These requir ements apply to the modified work as a whol e. If
identifiable sections of that work ar e not derived from the Pr ogram,
and can be reasonabl y considered independent and separ ate works
in themsel ves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separ ate work s. But when
you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a w ork
based on the Progr am , the distribution of the whole must be on the
terms of this License, whose permissions for other lic ensees extend
to the entire whol e, and thus to each and every part regar dless of
who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contes t
your rights to work written entir ely by you; r ather , the intent
is to ex ercise the right to contr ol the distribution of derivative
or collectiv e works based on the Progr am. In addition, m ere
aggregation of another work not based on the Pr ogram with the
Progr am (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
