7. Software Licenses and Copyrights

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this

license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

freedom to share and change it. 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 Lesser 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.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

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

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

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,
