GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 3, 29 June 2007
Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
<http://fsf.org/>
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute
verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not
allowed.
Preamble
The GNU General Public
License is a free, copyleft license for
software and other kinds of
works.
The licenses for most software and other practical works are
designed
to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By
contrast,
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your
freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it
remains free
software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation,
use the
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies
also to
any other work released this way by its authors. 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
them 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 prevent others from denying you
these rights or
asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
certain
responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
you modify
it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
For example, if
you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you
must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. 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.
Developers that
use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
(1) assert copyright on
the software, and (2) offer you this License
giving you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify it.
For the developers' and authors'
protection, the GPL clearly explains
that there is no warranty for this
free software. For both users' and
authors' sake, the GPL requires that
modified versions be marked as
changed, so that their problems will not be
attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions.
Some devices are
designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the
software inside them, although the manufacturer
can do so. This is
fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to
change the software. The systematic
pattern of such abuse occurs in the
area of products for individuals to
use, which is precisely where it is
most unacceptable. Therefore, we
have designed this version of the GPL to
prohibit the practice for those
products. If such problems arise
substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to
those domains in future versions
of the GPL, as needed to protect the
freedom of users.
Finally, every program is threatened constantly by
software patents.
States should not allow patents to restrict development
and use of
software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we
wish to
avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program
could
make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures
that
patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
The precise
terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
0. Definitions.
"This
License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other
kinds of
works, such as semiconductor masks.
"The Program"
refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
License. Each
licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees"
and
"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
To
"modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
work
in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of
an
exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version"
of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A
"covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work
based
on the Program.
To "propagate" a work means to do
anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or
secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except
executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation
includes copying,
distribution (with or without modification), making
available to the
public, and in some countries other activities as well.
To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables
other
parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user
through
a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal
Notices"
to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently
visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and
(2)
tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to
the
extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey
the
work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.
If
the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as
a
menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
1. Source
Code.
The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of
the work
for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any
non-source
form of a work.
A "Standard Interface" means an
interface that either is an official
standard defined by a recognized
standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular
programming language, one that
is widely used among developers working in
that language.
The "System Libraries" of an executable work
include anything, other
than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in
the normal form of
packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of
that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with
that
Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which
an
implementation is available to the public in source code form.
A
"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential
component
(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating
system
(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used
to
produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
The
"Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means
all
the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an
executable
work) run the object code and to modify the work, including
scripts to
control those activities. However, it does not include the
work's
System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available
free
programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities
but
which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding
Source
includes interface definition files associated with source files
for
the work, and the source code for shared libraries and
dynamically
linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to
require,
such as by intimate data communication or control flow between
those
subprograms and other parts of the work.
The Corresponding Source
need not include anything that users
can regenerate automatically from
other parts of the Corresponding
Source.
The Corresponding Source for a
work in source code form is that
same work.
2. Basic Permissions.
All
rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
copyright on
the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
conditions are met.
This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the
unmodified Program. The output from running a
covered work is covered by
this License only if the output, given its
content, constitutes a covered
work. This License acknowledges your
rights of fair use or other
equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
You may make, run and
propagate covered works that you do not
convey, without conditions so long
as your license otherwise remains
in force. You may convey covered works
to others for the sole purpose
of having them make modifications
exclusively for you, or provide you
with facilities for running those
works, provided that you comply with
the terms of this License in conveying
all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or
running the covered works
for you must do so exclusively on your behalf,
under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from making
any copies of
your copyrighted material outside their relationship with
you.
Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely
under
the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section
10
makes it unnecessary.
3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From
Anti-Circumvention Law.
No covered work shall be deemed part of an
effective technological
measure under any applicable law fulfilling
obligations under article
11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20
December 1996, or
similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of
such
measures.
When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power
to forbid
circumvention of technological measures to the extent such
circumvention
is effected by exercising rights under this License with
respect to
the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit
operation or
modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the
work's
users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention
of
technological measures.
4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
You may
convey 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 copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating
that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section
7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any
warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the
Program.
You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you
convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
5.
Conveying Modified Source Versions.
You may convey a work based on the
Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form
of source code under the
terms of section 4, provided that you also meet
all of these conditions:
a) The work must carry prominent notices
stating that you modified
it, and giving a relevant date.
b) The
work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
released under
this License and any conditions added under section
7. This
requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
"keep intact
all notices".
c) You must license the entire work, as a whole,
under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.
This
License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission
to license the work in any other way, but it does not
invalidate such
permission if you have separately received it.
d) If the work has
interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal
Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
interfaces that do not
display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
work need not make them do
so.
A compilation of a covered work with other separate and
independent
works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered
work,
and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
program,
in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called
an
"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are
not
used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's
users
beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered
work
in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the
other
parts of the aggregate.
6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
You may
convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
of sections 4 and
5, provided that you also convey the
machine-readable Corresponding Source
under the terms of this License,
in one of these ways:
a) Convey the
object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a
physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
Corresponding Source
fixed on a durable physical medium
customarily used for software
interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical
product
(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
long as
you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
model, to
give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
copy of the
Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is
covered by this License, on a durable physical
medium customarily used
for software interchange, for a price no
more than your reasonable cost
of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to
copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
alternative is
allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
only if you received
the object code with such an offer, in accord
with subsection 6b.
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
place
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
copy
the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
may be on
a different server (operated by you or a third party)
that supports
equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
clear directions
next to the object code saying where to find the
Corresponding Source.
Regardless of what server hosts the
Corresponding Source, you remain
obligated to ensure that it is
available for as long as needed to
satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using
peer-to-peer transmission, provided
you inform other peers where the
object code and Corresponding
Source of the work are being offered to
the general public at no
charge under subsection 6d.
A separable
portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
from the
Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
included in conveying
the object code work.
A "User Product" is either (1) a
"consumer product", which means any
tangible personal property
which is normally used for personal, family,
or household purposes, or (2)
anything designed or sold for incorporation
into a dwelling. In
determining whether a product is a consumer product,
doubtful cases shall
be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a
particular user, "normally used" refers to a
typical or common
use of that class of product, regardless of the status
of the particular
user or of the way in which the particular user
actually uses, or expects
or is expected to use, the product. A product
is a consumer product
regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or
non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
the only significant mode of
use of the product.
"Installation Information" for a User
Product means any methods,
procedures, authorization keys, or other
information required to install
and execute modified versions of a covered
work in that User Product from
a modified version of its Corresponding
Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued
functioning of the modified object
code is in no case prevented or
interfered with solely because
modification has been made.
If you convey
an object code work under this section in, or with, or
specifically for use
in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in
which the right of possession and use of the
User Product is transferred to
the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the
transaction is characterized), the
Corresponding Source conveyed under this
section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this
requirement does not apply
if neither you nor any third party retains the
ability to install
modified object code on the User Product (for example,
the work has
been installed in ROM).
The requirement to provide
Installation Information does not include a
requirement to continue to
provide support service, warranty, or updates
for a work that has been
modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it
has been modified or installed. Access to a
network may be denied when the
modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the
network or violates the rules and
protocols for communication across the
network.
Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information
provided,
in accord with this section must be in a format that is
publicly
documented (and with an implementation available to the public
in
source code form), and must require no special password or key
for
unpacking, reading or copying.
7. Additional Terms.
"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of
this
License by making exceptions from one or more of its
conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire
Program shall
be treated as though they were included in this License, to
the extent
that they are valid under applicable law. If additional
permissions
apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used
separately
under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed
by
this License without regard to the additional permissions.
When you
convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
remove any
additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
it. (Additional
permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases
when you modify the work.) You may place
additional permissions on
material, added by you to a covered work,
for which you have or can give
appropriate copyright permission.
Notwithstanding any other provision of
this License, for material you
add to a covered work, you may (if
authorized by the copyright holders of
that material) supplement the terms
of this License with terms:
a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting
liability differently from the
terms of sections 15 and 16 of this
License; or
b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal
notices or
author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate
Legal
Notices displayed by works containing it; or
c) Prohibiting
misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
requiring that
modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as
different from the original version; or
d) Limiting the use for
publicity purposes of names of licensors or
authors of the material;
or
e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
f) Requiring
indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who
conveys the material (or modified versions of
it) with contractual
assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
any liability that these
contractual assumptions directly impose on
those licensors and
authors.
All other non-permissive additional terms are considered
"further
restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the
Program as you
received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating
that it is
governed by this License along with a term that is a
further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document
contains
a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under
this
License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the
terms
of that license document, provided that the further restriction
does
not survive such relicensing or conveying.
If you add terms to a
covered work in accord with this section, you
must place, in the relevant
source files, a statement of the
additional terms that apply to those
files, or a notice indicating
where to find the applicable terms.
Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
form
of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above
requirements apply either way.
8. Termination.
You may not propagate
or modify a covered work except as expressly
provided under this License.
Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
modify it is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under
this License (including any
patent licenses granted under the third
paragraph of section 11).
However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
license from
a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
provisionally, unless and
until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license,
and (b) permanently, if the copyright
holder fails to notify you of the
violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation.
Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated
permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
violation by some
reasonable means, this is the first time you have
received notice of
violation of this License (for any work) from that
copyright holder, and
you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
your receipt of the notice.
Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate
the
licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you
under
this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
permanently
reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the
same
material under section 10.
9. Acceptance Not Required for Having
Copies.
You are not required to accept this License in order to receive
or
run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered
work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
transmission
to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.
However,
nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate
or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
not
accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
covered
work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
10.
Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
Each time you convey a
covered work, the recipient automatically
receives a license from the
original licensors, to run, modify and
propagate that work, subject to this
License. You are not responsible
for enforcing compliance by third parties
with this License.
An "entity transaction" is a transaction
transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of
one, or subdividing an
organization, or merging organizations. If
propagation of a covered
work results from an entity transaction, each
party to that
transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives
whatever
licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
could
give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of
the
Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest,
if
the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
You may
not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
rights granted
or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
not impose a license
fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
rights granted under this
License, and you may not initiate litigation
(including a cross-claim or
counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by
making, using, selling, offering for
sale, or importing the Program or any
portion of it.
11. Patents.
A "contributor" is a copyright
holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on
which the Program is based. The
work thus licensed is called the
contributor's "contributor version".
A contributor's
"essential patent claims" are all patent claims
owned or
controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
hereafter
acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
by this
License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
but do not
include claims that would be infringed only as a
consequence of further
modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition,
"control" includes the right to grant
patent sublicenses in a
manner consistent with the requirements of
this License.
Each
contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
patent
license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
make, use,
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
propagate the
contents of its contributor version.
In the following three paragraphs,
a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment,
however denominated, not to enforce a patent
(such as an express permission
to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To
"grant" such a patent license to a
party means to make such an
agreement or commitment not to enforce a
patent against the party.
If
you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
and the
Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
to copy, free
of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
publicly available
network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1)
cause the Corresponding Source to be so
available, or (2) arrange to
deprive yourself of the benefit of the
patent license for this particular
work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this
License, to extend the patent
license to downstream recipients.
"Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for
the patent license, your conveying the
covered work in a country, or your
recipient's use of the covered work
in a country, would infringe one or
more identifiable patents in that
country that you have reason to believe
are valid.
If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction
or
arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of,
a
covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
receiving
the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
or convey a
specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
you grant is
automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
work and works
based on it.
A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does
not include within
the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or
is
conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
are
specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a
covered
work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that
is
in the business of distributing software, under which you make
payment
to the third party based on the extent of your activity of
conveying
the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of
the
parties who would receive the covered work from you, a
discriminatory
patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered
work
conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b)
primarily
for and in connection with specific products or compilations
that
contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
or
that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this
License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
any implied license or
other defenses to infringement that may
otherwise be available to you under
applicable patent law.
12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
If
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 convey
a
covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under
this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may
not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate
you
to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you
convey
the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and
this
License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any
other provision of this License, you have
permission to link or combine any
covered work with a work licensed
under version 3 of the GNU Affero General
Public License into a single
combined work, and to convey the resulting
work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which
is the covered work,
but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General
Public License,
section 13, concerning interaction through a network will
apply to the
combination as such.
14. Revised Versions of this
License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of
the GNU 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 that a certain
numbered version of the GNU General
Public License "or any later
version" applies to it, you have the
option of following the terms and
conditions either of that numbered
version or of any later version
published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program does not specify
a version number of the
GNU General Public License, you may choose any
version ever published
by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Program
specifies that a proxy can decide which future
versions of the GNU General
Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of
a version permanently authorizes you
to choose that version for the
Program.
Later license versions may give you additional or
different
permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on
any
author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow
a
later version.
15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
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.
16. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS
REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT
HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
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 OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH
DAMAGES.
17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
If the disclaimer
of warranty and limitation of liability provided
above cannot be given
local legal effect according to their terms,
reviewing courts shall apply
local law that most closely approximates
an absolute waiver of all civil
liability in connection with the
Program, unless a warranty or assumption
of liability accompanies a
copy of the Program in return for a fee.
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
