     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies

     of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

                                Preamble

      The licenses for most software are designed to take away your

    freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public

    License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free

    software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This

    General Public License applies to most of the Free Software

    Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to

    using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by

    the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  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

    this service 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 make restrictions that forbid

    anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.

    These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you

    distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

      For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

    gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that

    you have.  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.

      We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and

    (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,

    distribute and/or modify the software.

      Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain

    that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free

    software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we

    want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so

    that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original

    authors' reputations.

      Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software

    patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free

    program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the

    program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any

    patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

      The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and

    modification follow.

                        GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

       TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

      0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains

    a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed

    under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,

    refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"

    means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:

    that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,

    either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another

    language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in

    the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".

    Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not

    covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of

    running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program

    is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the

    Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).

    Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

      1. You may copy and distribute 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 and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the

    notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;

    and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License

    along with the Program.

    You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and

    you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

      2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion

    of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and

    distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1

    above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

        a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices

        stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

        b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in

        whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any

        part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third

        parties under the terms of this License.

        c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

        when run, you must cause it, when started running for such

        interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an

        announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a

        notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide

        a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under

        these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this

        License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but

        does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on

        the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

    These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If

    identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,

    and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in

    themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those

    sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you

    distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based

    on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of

    this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the

    entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

    Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

    your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to

    exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or

    collective works based on the Program.

    In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program

    with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of

    a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under

    the scope of this License.

      3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,

    under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of

    Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

        a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

        source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections

        1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

        b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three

        years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your

        cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete

        machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be

        distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium

        customarily used for software interchange; or,

        c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer

        to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is

        allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you

        received the program in object code or executable form with such

        an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

    The source code for a work means the preferred form 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

      11. 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.

      12. 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 OTHER

    PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE

    POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

                         END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
