| 7 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE | |
| 8 | Version 2, June 1991 | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. | |
| 11 | 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA | |
| 12 | Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies | |
| 13 | of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Preamble | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your | |
| 18 | freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public | |
| 19 | License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free | |
| 20 | software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This | |
| 21 | General Public License applies to most of the Free Software | |
| 22 | Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to | |
| 23 | using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by | |
| 24 | the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to | |
| 25 | your programs, too. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not | |
| 28 | price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you | |
| 29 | have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for | |
| 30 | this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it | |
| 31 | if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it | |
| 32 | in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid | |
| 35 | anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. | |
| 36 | These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you | |
| 37 | distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. | |
| 38 | ||
| 39 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether | |
| 40 | gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that | |
| 41 | you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the | |
| 42 | source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their | |
| 43 | rights. | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and | |
| 46 | (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, | |
| 47 | distribute and/or modify the software. | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain | |
| 50 | that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free | |
| 51 | software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we | |
| 52 | want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so | |
| 53 | that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original | |
| 54 | authors' reputations. | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software | |
| 57 | patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free | |
| 58 | program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the | |
| 59 | program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any | |
| 60 | patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and | |
| 63 | modification follow. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License | |
| 66 | can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL'. | |
