17                    <https://fsf.org/>

19 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
20 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
21
22			    Preamble
23
24  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
25at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our General Public
26License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
27software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  The
28General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
29software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
30You can use it for your programs, too.
31
32  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
33price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
34sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
35software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
36that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
37programs; and that you know you can do these things.
38
39  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
40anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
41These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
42distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
43
44  For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
45gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
46you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
47source code.  And you must tell them their rights.
48
49  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
50(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
51distribute and/or modify the software.
52
53  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
54that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
55software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
56want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
57that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
58authors' reputations.
59
60  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
61modification follow.
62
63		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
64   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
65
66  0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
67contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
68distributed under the terms of this General Public License.  The
69"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
70on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
71Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
72licensee is addressed as "you".
73
74  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
75code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
76appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
77disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
78General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
79other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
80along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
81transferring a copy.
82
83  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
84it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
851 above, provided that you also do the following:
86
87    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
88    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
89
90    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
91    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
92    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
93    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
94    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
95    third parties, at your option).
96
97    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
98    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
99    in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
100    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
101    that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
102    warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
103    conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
104    Public License.
105
106    d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
107    copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
108    exchange for a fee.
109
110Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
111derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
112the other work under the scope of these terms.
113
114  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
115it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
116Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
117
118    a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
119    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
120    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
121
122    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
123    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
124    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
125    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
126    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
127
128    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
129    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
130    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
131    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
132
133Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
134modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
135all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
136exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
137libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
138file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
139accompany that operating system.
140
141  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
142Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
143Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
144the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
145the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
146copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
147License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
148remain in full compliance.
149
150  5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
151on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
152and all its terms and conditions.
153
154  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
155Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
156licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
157terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further restrictions on the
158recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
159
160  7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
161of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
162be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
163address new problems or concerns.
164
165Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
166specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
167later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
168either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
169Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
170the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
171Foundation.
172
173  8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
174programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
175to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
176Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
177make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
178of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
179of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
180
181			    NO WARRANTY
182
183  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
184FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
185OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
186PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
187OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
188MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
189TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
190PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
191REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
192
193  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
194WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
195REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
196INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
197OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
198TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
199YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
200PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
201POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
202
203		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
204
205	Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
206
207  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
208possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
209free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
210terms.
211
212  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
213attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
214the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
215"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
216
217    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
218    Copyright (C) 19yy  <name of author>
219
220    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
221    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
222    the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
223    any later version.
224
225    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
226    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
227    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
228    GNU General Public License for more details.
229
230    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
231    along with this program; if not, see <https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
232
233Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
234
235If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
236when it starts in an interactive mode:
237
238    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
239    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
240    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
241    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
242
243The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
244appropriate parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the
245commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
246c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
247program.
248
249You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
250school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
251necessary.  Here a sample; alter the names:
252
253  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
254  program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
255  at assemblers) written by James Hacker.

260That's all there is to it!
