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> + <sect1> + <title>TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</title> + <sect2> + <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="sect1"> + <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> + <sect2 id="sect2"> + <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="sect1">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> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 3 + </title> + <para> You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under + <link linkend="sect2">Section 2 + </link> in object code or executable form under the terms of + <link linkend="sect1">Sections 1 + </link> and + <link linkend="sect2">2 + </link> above provided that you also do one of the following: + <orderedlist> + <listitem> + <para> 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, + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> 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, + </para> + </listitem> + <listitem> + <para> 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.) + </para> + </listitem> + </orderedlist> + </para> + <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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 5 + </title> + <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 + modifying the Program or works based on it. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <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 + 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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 7 + </title> + <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. + </para> + <para> 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. + </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> + <para> This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the + rest of this License. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 8 + </title> + <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 + 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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 9 + </title> + <para> 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. + </para> + <para> 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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> + <title>Section 10 + </title> + <para> 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. + </para> + </sect2> + <sect2> +<title>NO WARRANTY Section 11 + </title> + <para> 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.

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. + </para> + <para> + <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> + Copyright (C) <year> <name of author> + </para> + <para> + 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. + </para> + <para> + 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. + </para> + <para> + 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 + </para> + <para> + Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. + </para> + <para> + If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this + when it starts in an interactive mode: + </para> + <para> + 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. + </para> + <para> + 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. + </para> + <para> + 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.
