| 7 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
| 8 | Version 2, June 1991 |

| 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'. |
