From cac6b40af5c8cadf9d5ac37b81a1df5f7ec26e08 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Brian S. Stephan" Date: Wed, 2 Jun 2021 07:44:23 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] relicense the project under GPLv2 prepping for an actual public release of a sort, this hopefully clarifies the license and copyright license from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt --- LICENSE | 947 +++++++++++++++++++----------------------------------- README.md | 10 +- 2 files changed, 339 insertions(+), 618 deletions(-) diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE index 8015026..d159169 100644 --- a/LICENSE +++ b/LICENSE @@ -1,626 +1,339 @@ -GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE - -Version 3, 29 June 2007 - -Copyright © 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. - -Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license -document, but changing it is not allowed. - -Preamble - -The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and -other kinds of works. - -The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take -away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General -Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change all -versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software for all its users. -We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most -of our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its -authors. 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 them 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 prevent others from denying you these rights -or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities -if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it: responsibilities -to respect the freedom of others. - -For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or -for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. -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. - -Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert -copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal -permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it. - -For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that -there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and authors' -sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as changed, so that -their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous versions. - -Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified -versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. -This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of protecting users' freedom -to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the -area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most -unacceptable. Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit -the practice for those products. If such problems arise substantially in other -domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future -versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users. - -Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States -should not allow patents to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose -computers, but in those that do, we wish to avoid the special danger that -patents applied to a free program could make it effectively proprietary. To -prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program -non-free. - -The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification -follow. - -TERMS AND CONDITIONS - - 0. Definitions. - - "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License. - -"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, -such as semiconductor masks. - -"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. -Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients" may be individuals -or organizations. - -To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in -a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an exact -copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the earlier work -or a work "based on" the earlier work. - -A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the -Program. - -To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, -would make you directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable -copyright law, except executing it on a computer or modifying a private copy. -Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or without modification), -making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as -well. - -To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties -to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer -network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying. - -An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the -extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible feature that -(1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2) tells the user that -there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are -provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how -to view a copy of this License. If the interface presents a list of user commands -or options, such as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion. - - 1. Source Code. - -The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making -modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source form of a work. - -A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official standard -defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified -for a particular programming language, one that is widely used among developers -working in that language. - -The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other than -the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging -a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) -serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement -a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public -in source code form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential -component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system -(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce -the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it. - -The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all the source -code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object -code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. -However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose -tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing -those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding -Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for -the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked -subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by -intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and -other parts of the work. - -The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate -automatically from other parts of the Corresponding Source. - - The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work. - - 2. Basic Permissions. - -All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright -on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. -This License explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run the unmodified -Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this License -only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License -acknowledges your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright -law. - -You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without -conditions so long as your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey -covered works to others for the sole purpose of having them make modifications -exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running those works, -provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material -for which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered -works for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction -and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of your copyrighted -material outside their relationship with you. - -Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions -stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. - - 3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law. - -No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure -under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO -copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting -or restricting circumvention of such measures. - -When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention -of technological measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by -exercising rights under this License with respect to the covered work, and -you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of the work -as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' -legal rights to forbid circumvention of technological measures. - - 4. Conveying Verbatim Copies. - -You may convey 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; keep intact all notices stating -that this License and any non-permissive terms added in accord with section -7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; -and give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program. - -You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you -may offer support or warranty protection for a fee. - - 5. Conveying Modified Source Versions. - -You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce -it from the Program, in the form of source code under the terms of section -4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: - -a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified it, and -giving a relevant date. - -b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is released under -this License and any conditions added under section 7. This requirement modifies -the requirement in section 4 to "keep intact all notices". - -c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this License to anyone -who comes into possession of a copy. This License will therefore apply, along -with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to the whole of the work, -and all its parts, regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives -no permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not invalidate -such permission if you have separately received it. - -d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate -Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do -not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so. - -A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, -which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work, and which are -not combined with it such as to form a larger program, in or on a volume of -a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the compilation -and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights -of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion -of a covered work in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to -the other parts of the aggregate. - - 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. - -You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections -4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding -Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways: - -a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including -a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed -on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange. - -b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including -a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for -at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer -support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code -either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the -product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily -used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost -of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the -Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge. - -c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written -offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only -occasionally and noncommercially, and only if you received the object code -with such an offer, in accord with subsection 6b. - -d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis -or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source -in the same way through the same place at no further charge. You need not -require recipients to copy the Corresponding Source along with the object -code. If the place to copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding -Source may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party) that -supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain clear directions -next to the object code saying where to find the Corresponding Source. Regardless -of what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure -that it is available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements. - -e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform -other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are -being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d. - -A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from -the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be included in conveying -the object code work. - -A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any tangible -personal property which is normally used for personal, family, or household -purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation into a dwelling. -In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful cases shall -be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular -user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, -regardless of the status of the particular user or of the way in which the -particular user actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. -A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial -commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the -only significant mode of use of the product. - -"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods, procedures, -authorization keys, or other information required to install and execute modified -versions of a covered work in that User Product from a modified version of -its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to ensure that the -continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented -or interfered with solely because modification has been made. - -If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically -for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction -in which the right of possession and use of the User Product is transferred -to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of how the -transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this -section must be accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement -does not apply if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install -modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has been installed -in ROM). - -The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement -to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that -has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for the User Product in -which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network may be denied -when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation -of the network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across -the network. - -Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord -with this section must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with -an implementation available to the public in source code form), and must require -no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying. - - 7. Additional Terms. - -"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this License -by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions -that are applicable to the entire Program shall be treated as though they -were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid under applicable -law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part -may be used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains -governed by this License without regard to the additional permissions. - -When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any -additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional -permissions may be written to require their own removal in certain cases when -you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on material, added -by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright -permission. - -Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add -to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of that -material) supplement the terms of this License with terms: - -a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the terms of -sections 15 and 16 of this License; or - -b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or author -attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal Notices displayed -by works containing it; or - -c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or requiring -that modified versions of such material be marked in reasonable ways as different -from the original version; or - -d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or authors -of the material; or - -e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some trade names, -trademarks, or service marks; or - -f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that material by -anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of it) with contractual -assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any liability that these contractual -assumptions directly impose on those licensors and authors. - -All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" -within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any -part of it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by this License -along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that term. -If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing -or conveying under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed -by the terms of that license document, provided that the further restriction -does not survive such relicensing or conveying. - -If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, -in the relevant source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply -to those files, or a notice indicating where to find the applicable terms. - -Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form -of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements -apply either way. - - 8. Termination. - -You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided -under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, -and will automatically terminate your rights under this License (including -any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11). - -However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from -a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and -until the copyright holder explicitly and finally terminates your license, -and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the violation -by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation. - -Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently -if the copyright holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, -this is the first time you have received notice of violation of this License -(for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior -to 30 days after your receipt of the notice. - -Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses -of parties who have received copies or rights from you under this License. -If your rights have been terminated and not permanently reinstated, you do -not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under section 10. - - 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies. - -You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy -of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as -a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission to receive a copy likewise -does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than this License grants -you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe -copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating -a covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so. - - 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients. - -Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives -a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, -subject to this License. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance -by third parties with this License. - -An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an organization, -or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging -organizations. If propagation of a covered work results from an entity transaction, -each party to that transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives -whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could -give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding -Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has -it or can get it with reasonable efforts. - -You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights -granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may not impose a -license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of rights granted under -this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim -or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed -by making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program or -any portion of it. - - 11. Patents. - -A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License -of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed -is called the contributor's "contributor version". - -A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims owned or controlled -by the contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would -be infringed by some manner, permitted by this License, of making, using, -or selling its contributor version, but do not include claims that would be -infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor -version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to -grant patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of this -License. - -Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent -license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, -offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and propagate the contents -of its contributor version. - -In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement -or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express -permission to practice a patent or covenant not to sue for patent infringement). -To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to make such an agreement -or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party. - -If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the -Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone to copy, free -of charge and under the terms of this License, through a publicly available -network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either (1) -cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive -yourself of the benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or -(3) arrange, in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License, -to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" -means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying -the covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work -in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that country -that you have reason to believe are valid. - -If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, -you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant -a patent license to some of the parties receiving the covered work authorizing -them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of the covered work, -then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients -of the covered work and works based on it. - -A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope -of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise -of one or more of the rights that are specifically granted under this License. -You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to an arrangement with -a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which -you make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of -conveying the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the -parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory patent -license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by you -(or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection -with specific products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless -you entered into that arrangement, or that patent license was granted, prior -to 28 March 2007. - -Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied -license or other defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available -to you under applicable patent law. - - 12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom. - -If 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 convey a covered work so as -to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other -pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. -For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty -for further conveying from those to whom you convey the Program, the only -way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to refrain -entirely from conveying the Program. - - 13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. - -Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to -link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the -GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey -the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the -part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero -General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network -will apply to the combination as such. - - 14. Revised Versions of this License. - -The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the -GNU 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 -that a certain numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any -later version" applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and -conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version published -by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version -number of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever -published by the Free Software Foundation. - -If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of -the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's public statement -of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you to choose that version -for the Program. - -Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, -no additional obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as -a result of your choosing to follow a later version. - - 15. Disclaimer of Warranty. - -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. - - 16. Limitation of Liability. - -IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL -ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS 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. - - 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16. - -If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot -be given local legal effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall -apply local law that most closely approximates an absolute waiver of all civil -liability in connection with the Program, unless a warranty or assumption -of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee. 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 state the exclusion -of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a -pointer to where the full notice is found. - - - -Copyright (C) - -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 3 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, see . + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + Version 2, June 1991 + + Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., + 51 Franklin Street, 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 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 Lesser 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. + + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE + 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. + + + Copyright (C) + + 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.
