22 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
23 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
24 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
25 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Preamble |
26 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
27 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
28 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
29 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
30 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
31 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
32 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
33 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
34 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
35 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | your programs, too. |
36 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
37 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
38 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
39 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
40 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
41 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
42 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
43 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
44 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
45 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
46 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
47 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
48 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
49 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
50 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
51 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
52 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
53 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | rights. |
54 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
55 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
56 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
57 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute and/or modify the software. |
58 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
59 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
60 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
61 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
62 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
63 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
64 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | authors' reputations. |
65 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
66 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
67 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
68 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
69 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
70 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
71 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
72 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
73 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | modification follow. |
74 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
75 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
76 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
77 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
78 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
79 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
80 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
81 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
82 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
83 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
84 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
85 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
86 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
87 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
88 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
89 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
90 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
91 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
92 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
93 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
94 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
95 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
96 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
97 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
98 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
99 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
100 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
101 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | along with the Program. |
102 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
103 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
104 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
105 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
106 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
107 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
108 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
109 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
110 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
111 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
112 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
113 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
114 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
115 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
116 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
117 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | parties under the terms of this License. |
118 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
119 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
120 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
121 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
122 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
123 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
124 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
125 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
126 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
127 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
128 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
129 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
130 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
131 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
132 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
133 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
134 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
135 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
136 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
137 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
138 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
139 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
140 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
141 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
142 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
143 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | collective works based on the Program. |
144 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
145 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
146 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
147 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
148 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the scope of this License. |
149 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
150 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
151 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
152 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
153 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
154 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
155 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
156 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
157 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
158 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
159 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
160 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
161 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
162 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
163 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
164 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
165 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
166 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
167 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
168 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | received the program in object code or executable form with such |
169 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
170 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
171 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
172 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
173 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
174 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
175 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
176 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
177 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
178 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
179 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
180 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | itself accompanies the executable. |
181 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
182 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
183 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
184 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
185 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
186 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
187 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
188 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
189 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
190 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
191 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
192 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
193 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
194 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | parties remain in full compliance. |
195 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
196 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
197 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
198 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
199 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
200 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
201 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
202 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
203 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the Program or works based on it. |
204 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
205 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
206 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
207 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
208 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
209 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
210 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
211 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | this License. |
212 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
213 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
214 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
215 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
216 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
217 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
218 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
219 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
220 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
221 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
222 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
223 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
224 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
225 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
226 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
227 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
228 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
229 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | circumstances. |
230 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
231 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
232 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
233 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
234 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
235 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
236 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
237 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
238 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
239 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
240 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | impose that choice. |
241 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
242 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
243 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
244 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
245 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
246 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
247 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
248 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
249 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
250 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
251 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
252 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
253 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
254 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
255 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
256 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | address new problems or concerns. |
257 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
258 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
259 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
260 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
261 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
262 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
263 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
264 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Foundation. |
265 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
266 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
267 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
268 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
269 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
270 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
271 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |
272 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. |
273 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
274 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | NO WARRANTY |
275 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
276 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY |
277 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN |
278 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES |
279 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED |
280 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
281 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS |
282 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE |
283 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, |
284 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | REPAIR OR CORRECTION. |
285 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
286 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING |
287 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR |
288 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, |
289 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING |
290 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED |
291 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY |
292 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
293 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
294 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
295 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
296 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |

298 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
299 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
300 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
301 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
302 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
303 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
304 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
305 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
306 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
307 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
308 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
309 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
310 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
311 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
312 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
313 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
314 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
315 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | (at your option) any later version. |
316 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
317 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
318 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
319 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
320 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | GNU General Public License for more details. |
321 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
322 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License |
323 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software |
324 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
325 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
326 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
327 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
328 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
329 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
330 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | when it starts in an interactive mode: |
331 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
332 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
333 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
334 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
335 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
336 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
337 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
338 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
339 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
340 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
341 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | |
342 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
343 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
344 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |

352 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
353 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
354 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
355 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General |
356 | 51b24e34 | Jan Kiszka | Public License instead of this License. |
