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. - -TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION - -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. - -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. - -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: - - a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating - that you changed the files and the date of any change. - - 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. - - 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.) - -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. - -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: - - 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, - - 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, - - 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.) - -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. - -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. - -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. - -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. - -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. - -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. - -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. - -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. - -NO WARRANTY - -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. - -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 OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS - -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. - - One line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does. - - Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> - - 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 - -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: - - Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year 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. - -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: - - Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program - 'Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. - - signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989 - - Ty Coon, President of Vice - -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. - - -"CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL - -Certain source files distributed by Sun Microsystems, Inc. are subject to -the following clarification and special exception to the GPL, but only where -Sun has expressly included in the particular source file's header the words -"Sun designates this particular file as subject to the "Classpath" exception -as provided by Sun in the LICENSE file that accompanied this code." - - Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making - a combined work based on this library. Thus, the terms and conditions of - the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination. - - As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you - permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an - executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, - and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your - choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module, - the terms and conditions of the license of that module. An independent - module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library. If - you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of - the library, but you are not obligated to do so. If you do not wish to do - so, delete this exception statement from your version. |
