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. - -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. - - -\gplsec{Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification} - -\begin{enumerate} - -\makeatletter \setcounter{\@listctr}{-1} \makeatother - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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: - - \begin{enumerate} - - \item [(a)] You must cause the modified files to carry prominent - notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any - change. - - \item [(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. - - \item [(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.) - - \end{enumerate} - - 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. - -\item [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: - - \begin{enumerate} - - \item [(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, - - \item [(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, - - \item [(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.) - - \end{enumerate} - - 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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\item [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. - -\begin{center} -NO WARRANTY -\end{center} - -\bfseries - -\item [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. - -\item [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{enumerate} - -\begin{center} -\textbf{END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS} -\end{center} - - -\gplsec{Appendix: 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. - -\begin{verbatim} - -Copyright (C) 19yy - -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. 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, write to the Free Software Foundation, -Inc., 59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA. -\end{verbatim} - -Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. - -If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when -it starts in an interactive mode: - -\begin{verbatim} -Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author -Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type -`show w'. -This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it -under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. -\end{verbatim} - -The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate -parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be -called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be -mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program. - -You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your -school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if -necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: - -\begin{verbatim} -Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program -`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. - -, 1 April 1989 -Ty Coon, President of Vice -\end{verbatim} - -This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into -proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may -consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the -library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public -License instead of this License. - -\gplend
