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
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.
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
57
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., 51
Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-
1301, 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.

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.
