5 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA |
6 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies |
7 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
8 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
9 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Preamble |
10 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
11 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your |
12 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public |
13 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free |
14 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This |
15 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software |
16 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to |
17 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by |
18 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
19 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | your programs, too. |
20 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
21 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not |
22 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you |
23 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for |
24 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it |
25 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it |
26 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. |
27 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
28 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid |
29 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. |
30 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you |
31 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. |
32 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
33 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether |
34 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that |
35 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the |
36 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their |
37 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | rights. |
38 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
39 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and |
40 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, |
41 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute and/or modify the software. |
42 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
43 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain |
44 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free |
45 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we |
46 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so |
47 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original |
48 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | authors' reputations. |
49 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
50 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software |
51 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free |
52 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the |
53 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any |
54 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. |
55 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
56 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and |
57 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | modification follow. |
58 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
59 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
60 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION |
61 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
62 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains |
63 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed |
64 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, |
65 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" |
66 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: |
67 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, |
68 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another |
69 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
70 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
71 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
72 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not |
73 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of |
74 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program |
75 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the |
76 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). |
77 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
78 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
79 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's |
80 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you |
81 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate |
82 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the |
83 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; |
84 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
85 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | along with the Program. |
86 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
87 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and |
88 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
89 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
90 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion |
91 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and |
92 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 |
93 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: |
94 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
95 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices |
96 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. |
97 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
98 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in |
99 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any |
100 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third |
101 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | parties under the terms of this License. |
102 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
103 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively |
104 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | when run, you must cause it, when started running for such |
105 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an |
106 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a |
107 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide |
108 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under |
109 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this |
110 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but |
111 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on |
112 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
113 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
114 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If |
115 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, |
116 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in |
117 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those |
118 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you |
119 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based |
120 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of |
121 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
122 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
123 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
124 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest |
125 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to |
126 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or |
127 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | collective works based on the Program. |
128 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
129 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program |
130 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of |
131 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under |
132 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the scope of this License. |
133 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
134 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, |
135 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of |
136 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: |
137 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
138 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable |
139 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections |
140 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
141 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
142 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three |
143 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your |
144 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete |
145 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be |
146 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
147 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
148 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
149 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer |
150 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is |
151 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you |
152 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | received the program in object code or executable form with such |
153 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
154 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
155 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for |
156 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source |
157 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any |
158 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to |
159 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a |
160 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | special exception, the source code distributed need not include |
161 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary |
162 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the |
163 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component |
164 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | itself accompanies the executable. |
165 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
166 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering |
167 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent |
168 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | access to copy the source code from the same place counts as |
169 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not |
170 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
171 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
172 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program |
173 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt |
174 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is |
175 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. |
176 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under |
177 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such |
178 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | parties remain in full compliance. |
179 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
180 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not |
181 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or |
182 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are |
183 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by |
184 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the |
185 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and |
186 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying |
187 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the Program or works based on it. |
188 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
189 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the |
190 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the |
191 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to |
192 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further |
193 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. |
194 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to |
195 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | this License. |
196 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
197 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent |
198 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), |
199 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or |
200 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not |
201 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot |
202 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this |
203 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you |
204 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent |
205 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by |
206 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then |
207 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to |
208 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. |
209 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
210 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under |
211 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to |
212 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other |
213 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | circumstances. |
214 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
215 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any |
216 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any |
217 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the |
218 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | integrity of the free software distribution system, which is |
219 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | implemented by public license practices. Many people have made |
220 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed |
221 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | through that system in reliance on consistent application of that |
222 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing |
223 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot |
224 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | impose that choice. |
225 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
226 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to |
227 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | be a consequence of the rest of this License. |
228 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
229 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in |
230 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the |
231 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | original copyright holder who places the Program under this License |
232 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding |
233 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among |
234 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates |
235 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
236 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
237 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions |
238 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will |
239 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to |
240 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | address new problems or concerns. |
241 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
242 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program |
243 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any |
244 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions |
245 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | either of that version or of any later version published by the Free |
246 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of |
247 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software |
248 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Foundation. |
249 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
250 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free |
251 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author |
252 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free |
253 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes |
254 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals |
255 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and |

276 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER |
277 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE |
278 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |

281 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
282 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs |
283 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
284 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest |
285 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it |
286 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. |
287 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
288 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest |
289 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively |
290 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least |
291 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. |
292 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
293 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> |
294 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> |
295 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
296 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify |
297 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by |
298 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or |
299 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | (at your option) any later version. |

301 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, |
302 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of |
303 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the |
304 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | GNU General Public License for more details. |
305 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
306 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along |
307 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., |
308 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA. |
309 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
310 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. |
311 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
312 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this |
313 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | when it starts in an interactive mode: |
314 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
315 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author |
316 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. |
317 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it |
318 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. |
319 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
320 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate |
321 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may |
322 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be |
323 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. |
324 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | |
325 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your |
326 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if |
327 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: |

335 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into |
336 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may |
337 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the |
338 | b873aac3 | Constantinos Venetsanopoulos | library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General |
