 36+ 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
 37+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
 38+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
 39+
 40+ Preamble
 41+
 42+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
 43+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
 44+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
 45+software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
 46+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
 47+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
 48+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
 49+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
 50+your programs, too.
 51+
 52+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
 53+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
 54+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
 55+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
 56+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
 57+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
 58+
 59+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
 60+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
 61+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
 62+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
 63+
 64+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
 65+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
 66+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
 67+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
 68+rights.
 69+
 70+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
 71+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
 72+distribute and/or modify the software.
 73+
 74+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
 75+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
 76+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
 77+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
 78+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
 79+authors' reputations.
 80+
 81+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
 82+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
 83+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
 84+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
 85+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
 86+
 87+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 88+modification follow.
 89+
 90+ GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
 91+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
 92+
 93+ 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
 94+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
 95+under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
 96+refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
 97+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
 98+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
 99+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
 100+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
 101+the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
 102+
 103+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
 104+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
 105+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
 106+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
 107+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
 108+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
 109+
 110+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
 111+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
 112+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
 113+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
 114+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
 115+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
 116+along with the Program.
 117+
 118+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
 119+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
 120+
 121+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
 122+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
 123+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
 124+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
 125+
 126+ a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
 127+ stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
 128+
 129+ b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
 130+ whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
 131+ part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
 132+ parties under the terms of this License.
 133+
 134+ c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
 135+ when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
 136+ interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
 137+ announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
 138+ notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
 139+ a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
 140+ these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
 141+ License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
 142+ does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
 143+ the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
 144+
 145+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
 146+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
 147+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
 148+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
 149+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
 150+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
 151+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
 152+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
 153+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
 154+
 155+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
 156+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
 157+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
 158+collective works based on the Program.
 159+
 160+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
 161+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
 162+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
 163+the scope of this License.
 164+
 165+ 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
 166+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
 167+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
 168+
 169+ a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
 170+ source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
 171+ 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
 172+
 173+ b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
 174+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
 175+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
 176+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
 177+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
 178+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
 179+
 180+ c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
 181+ to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
 182+ allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
 183+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
 184+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
 185+
 186+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
 187+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
 188+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
 189+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
 190+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
 191+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
 192+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
 193+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
 194+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
 195+itself accompanies the executable.
 196+
 197+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
 198+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
 199+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
 200+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
 201+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
 202+
 203+ 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
 204+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
 205+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
 206+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
 207+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
 208+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
 209+parties remain in full compliance.
 210+
 211+ 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
 212+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
 213+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
 214+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
 215+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
 216+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
 217+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
 218+the Program or works based on it.
 219+
 220+ 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
 221+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
 222+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
 223+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
 224+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
 225+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
 226+this License.
 227+
 228+ 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
 229+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
 230+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
 231+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
 232+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
 233+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
 234+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
 235+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
 236+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
 237+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
 238+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
 239+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
 240+
 241+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
 242+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
 243+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
 244+circumstances.
 245+
 246+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
 247+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
 248+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
 249+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
 250+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
 251+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
 252+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
 253+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
 254+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
 255+impose that choice.
 256+
 257+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
 258+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
 259+
 260+ 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
 261+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
 262+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
 263+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
 264+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
 265+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
 266+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
 267+
 268+ 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
 269+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
 270+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
 271+address new problems or concerns.
 272+
 273+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
 274+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
 275+later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
 276+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
 277+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
 278+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
 279+Foundation.
 280+
 281+ 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
 282+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
 283+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
 284+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
 285+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
 286+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
 287+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
 288+
 289+ NO WARRANTY
 290+
 291+ 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
 292+FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
 293+OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
 294+PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
 295+OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
 296+MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
 297+TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
 298+PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
 299+REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
 300+
 301+ 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
 302+WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
 303+REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
 304+INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
 305+OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
 306+TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
 307+YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
 308+PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
 309+POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
