- 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.
