- <title>GNU General Public License</title>
- <sect1 id="gpl-1">
- <title>Preamble</title>
- <para> 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 Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it
- to your programs, too.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> We protect your rights with two steps:
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para> copyright the software, and
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para> offer you this license which gives you legal
permission to copy,
- distribute and/or modify the software.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </orderedlist>
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification
- follow.
- </para>

- <sect1 id="gpl-2">
- <title>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION</title>
- <sect2 id="gpl-2-0">
- <title>Section 0</title>
- <para> 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
- <quote>work based on the Program
- </quote> 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
- <quote>modification
- </quote>.) Each licensee is addressed as <quote>you</quote>.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- </sect2>
- <sect2 id="gpl-2-1">
- <title>Section 1</title>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>

- <sect2 id="gpl-2-2">
- <title>Section 2</title>
- <para> 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
- <link linkend="gpl-2-1">Section 1
- </link> above, provided
- that you also meet all of these conditions:
- <orderedlist>
- <listitem>
- <para> You must cause the modified files to carry
prominent notices stating that
- you changed the files and the date of any change.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- </listitem>
- <listitem>
- <para> 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.
- <note>
- <title>Exception:
- </title>
- <para> 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.)
- </para>
- </note>
- </para>
- </listitem>
- </orderedlist>
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.

- <para> 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.
- </para>
- <para> 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.

- <sect2 id="gpl-2-4">
- <title>Section 4
- </title>
- <para> 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.

- <title>Section 5

- <para> 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

- <title>Section 6
- </title>
- <para> 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

any further restrictions

responsible for enforcing

- <para> 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.

under any particular circumstance,
- the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply

- </para>
- <para> 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.

- <para> 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

In such case, this License

- <para> Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies a version number of

option of following the terms
