10 | The General Public License (GPL) |
11 | Version 2, June 1991 |
12 | |
13 | Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 675 Mass Ave, |
14 | Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute |
15 | verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. |
16 | |
17 | Preamble |
18 | |
19 | The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share |
20 | and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to |
21 | guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the |
22 | software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of |
23 | the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose |
24 | authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is |
25 | covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to |
26 | your programs, too. |
27 | |
28 | When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our |
29 | General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom |
30 | to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that |
31 | you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the |
32 | software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do |
33 | these things. |
34 | |
35 | To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny |
36 | you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions |
37 | translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the |
38 | software, or if you modify it. |
39 | |
40 | For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a |
41 | fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make |
42 | sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show |
43 | them these terms so they know their rights. |
44 | |
45 | We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer |
46 | you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or |
47 | modify the software. |
48 | |
49 | Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that |
50 | everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the |
51 | software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to |
52 | know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by |
53 | others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations. |
54 | |
55 | Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish |
56 | to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain |
57 | patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we |
58 | have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or |
59 | not licensed at all. |
60 | |
61 | The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification |
62 | follow. |
63 | |
64 | GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE |
65 | TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND |
66 | MODIFICATION |
67 | |
68 | 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice |
69 | placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of |
70 | this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program |
71 | or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any |
72 | derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the |
73 | Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated |
74 | into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in |
75 | the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you". |
76 | |
77 | Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by |
78 | this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not |
79 | restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents |
80 | constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by |
81 | running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. |
82 | |
83 | 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as |
84 | you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately |
85 | publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; |
86 | keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any |
87 | warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License |
88 | along with the Program. |
89 | |
90 | You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at |
91 | your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. |
92 | |
93 | 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus |
94 | forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such |
95 | modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also |
96 | meet all of these conditions: |
97 | |
98 | a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you |
99 | changed the files and the date of any change. |
100 | |
101 | b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in |
102 | part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed |
103 | as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. |
104 | |
105 | c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you |
106 | must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary |
107 | way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright |
108 | notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a |
109 | warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, |
110 | and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the |
111 | Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, |
112 | your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) |
113 | |
114 | These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable |
115 | sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably |
116 | considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, |
117 | and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as |
118 | separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole |
119 | which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on |
120 | the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the |
121 | entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. |
122 | |
123 | Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to |
124 | work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control |
125 | the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. |
126 | |
127 | In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the |
128 | Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or |
129 | distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this |
130 | License. |
131 | |
132 | 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under |
133 | Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 |
134 | above provided that you also do one of the following: |
135 | |
136 | a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source |
137 | code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a |
138 | medium customarily used for software interchange; or, |
139 | |
140 | b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any |
141 | third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source |
142 | distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source |
143 | code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium |
144 | customarily used for software interchange; or, |
145 | |
146 | c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute |
147 | corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial |
148 | distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable |
149 | form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) |
150 | |
151 | The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making |
152 | modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the |
153 | source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition |
154 | files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the |
155 | executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need |
156 | not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) |
157 | with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system |
158 | on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the |
159 | executable. |
160 | |
161 | If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy |
162 | from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source |
163 | code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though |
164 | third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. |
165 | |
166 | 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as |
167 | expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, |
168 | sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate |
169 | your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or |
170 | rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long |
171 | as such parties remain in full compliance. |
172 | |
173 | 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. |
174 | However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program |
175 | or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept |
176 | this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work |
177 | based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, |
178 | and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the |
179 | Program or works based on it. |
180 | |
181 | 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), |
182 | the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, |
183 | distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You |
184 | may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights |
185 | granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties |
186 | to this License. |
187 | |
188 | 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement |
189 | or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on |
190 | you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the |
191 | conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this |
192 | License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations |
193 | under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence |
194 | you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would |
195 | not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive |
196 | copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy |
197 | both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the |
198 | Program. |
199 | |
200 | If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular |
201 | circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as |
202 | a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. |
203 | |
204 | It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other |
205 | property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has |
206 | the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution |
207 | system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have |
208 | made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through |
209 | that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the |
210 | author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any |
211 | other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. |
212 | |
213 | This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a |
214 | consequence of the rest of this License. |
215 | |
216 | 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries |
217 | either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who |
218 | places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical |
219 | distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted |
220 | only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License |
221 | incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. |
222 | |
223 | 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the |
224 | General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in |
225 | spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or |
226 | concerns. |
227 | |
228 | Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a |
229 | version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you |
230 | have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of |
231 | any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does |
232 | not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever |
233 | published by the Free Software Foundation. |
234 | |
235 | 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs |
236 | whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for |
237 | permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, |
238 | write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. |
239 | Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all |
240 | derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of |
241 | software generally. |
242 | |
243 | NO WARRANTY |
244 | |
245 | 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS |
246 | NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
247 | APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE |
248 | COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM |
249 | "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR |
250 | IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF |
251 | MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE |
252 | ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE |
253 | PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, |
254 | YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR |
255 | CORRECTION. |
256 | |
257 | 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED |
258 | TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY |
259 | WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS |
260 | PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY |
261 | GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES |
262 | ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM |
263 | (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING |
264 | RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD |
265 | PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY |
266 | OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS |
267 | BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. |
268 | |
269 | END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS |
270 | |

274 | The Artistic License |
275 | |
276 | Preamble |
277 | |
278 | The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package |
279 | may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of |
280 | artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of the |
281 | package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less customary |
282 | fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications. |
283 | |
284 | Definitions: |
285 | |
286 | - "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright |
287 | Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through textual |
288 | modification. |
289 | - "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified, |
290 | or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright |
291 | Holder. |
292 | - "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for |
293 | the package. |
294 | - "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package. |
295 | - "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of |
296 | media cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You |
297 | will not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the |
298 | computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.) |
299 | - "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though |
300 | there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that |
301 | recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they |
302 | received it. |
303 | |
304 | 1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the |
305 | Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you duplicate |
306 | all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers. |
307 | |
308 | 2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived from |
309 | the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such a |
310 | way shall still be considered the Standard Version. |
311 | |
312 | 3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided |
313 | that you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when |
314 | you changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following: |
315 | |
316 | a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise |
317 | make them Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications |
318 | to Usenet or an equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on |
319 | a major archive site such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the |
320 | Copyright Holder to include your modifications in the Standard |
321 | Version of the Package. |
322 | |
323 | b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or |
324 | organization. |
325 | |
326 | c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not |
327 | conflict with standard executables, which must also be provided, |
328 | and provide a separate manual page for each non-standard |
329 | executable that clearly documents how it differs from the Standard |
330 | Version. |
331 | |
332 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. |
333 | |
334 | 4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable |
335 | form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following: |
336 | |
337 | a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library |
338 | files, together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) |
339 | on where to get the Standard Version. |
340 | |
341 | b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of |
342 | the Package with your modifications. |
343 | |
344 | c) accompany any non-standard executables with their |
345 | corresponding Standard Version executables, giving the |
346 | non-standard executables non-standard names, and clearly |
347 | documenting the differences in manual pages (or equivalent), |
348 | together with instructions on where to get the Standard Version. |
349 | |
350 | d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder. |
351 | |
352 | 5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this Package. |
353 | You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You may not |
354 | charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this Package in |
355 | aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a larger |
356 | (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not advertise |
357 | this Package as a product of your own. |
358 | |
359 | 6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output from |
360 | the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright of this |
361 | Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold |
362 | commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package. |
363 | |
364 | 7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not |
365 | be considered part of this Package. |
366 | |
367 | 8. Aggregation of this Package with a commercial distribution is always permitted |
368 | provided that the use of this Package is embedded; that is, when no overt attempt |
369 | is made to make this Package's interfaces visible to the end user of the |
370 | commercial distribution. Such use shall not be construed as a distribution of |
371 | this Package. |
372 | |
373 | 9. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote |
374 | products derived from this software without specific prior written permission. |
375 | |
376 | 10. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR |
377 | IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED |
378 | WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR |
379 | PURPOSE. |
380 | |
381 | The End |
382 | |
383 | |
