By contrast, our General Public 13 1.1.2.2 yamt License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 14 1.1.2.2 yamt software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The 15 1.1.2.2 yamt General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's 16 1.1.2.2 yamt software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. 17 1.1.2.2 yamt You can use it for your programs, too. 18 1.1.2.2 yamt 19 1.1.2.2 yamt When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 20 1.1.2.2 yamt price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make 21 1.1.2.2 yamt sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free 22 1.1.2.2 yamt software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, 23 1.1.2.2 yamt that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free 24 1.1.2.2 yamt programs; and that you know you can do these things. 25 1.1.2.2 yamt 26 1.1.2.2 yamt To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 27 1.1.2.2 yamt anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 28 1.1.2.2 yamt These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 29 1.1.2.2 yamt distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 30 1.1.2.2 yamt 31 1.1.2.2 yamt For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether 32 1.1.2.2 yamt gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 33 1.1.2.2 yamt you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 34 1.1.2.2 yamt source code. And you must tell them their rights. 35 1.1.2.2 yamt 36 1.1.2.2 yamt We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 37 1.1.2.2 yamt (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 38 1.1.2.2 yamt distribute and/or modify the software. 39 1.1.2.2 yamt 40 1.1.2.2 yamt Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 41 1.1.2.2 yamt that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 42 1.1.2.2 yamt software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 43 1.1.2.2 yamt want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 44 1.1.2.2 yamt that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 45 1.1.2.2 yamt authors' reputations. 46 1.1.2.2 yamt 47 1.1.2.2 yamt The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 48 1.1.2.2 yamt modification follow. 49 1.1.2.2 yamt 51 1.1.2.2 yamt GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 52 1.1.2.2 yamt TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 53 1.1.2.2 yamt 54 1.1.2.2 yamt 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which 55 1.1.2.2 yamt contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be 56 1.1.2.2 yamt distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The 57 1.1.2.2 yamt "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based 58 1.1.2.2 yamt on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the 59 1.1.2.2 yamt Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each 60 1.1.2.2 yamt licensee is addressed as "you". 61 1.1.2.2 yamt 62 1.1.2.2 yamt 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source 63 1.1.2.2 yamt code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 64 1.1.2.2 yamt appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 65 1.1.2.2 yamt disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this 66 1.1.2.2 yamt General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any 67 1.1.2.2 yamt other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License 68 1.1.2.2 yamt along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of 69 1.1.2.2 yamt transferring a copy. 70 1.1.2.2 yamt 71 1.1.2.2 yamt 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of 72 1.1.2.2 yamt it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 73 1.1.2.2 yamt 1 above, provided that you also do the following: 74 1.1.2.2 yamt 75 1.1.2.2 yamt a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that 76 1.1.2.2 yamt you changed the files and the date of any change; and 77 1.1.2.2 yamt 78 1.1.2.2 yamt b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that 79 1.1.2.2 yamt in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either 80 1.1.2.2 yamt with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all 81 1.1.2.2 yamt third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except 82 1.1.2.2 yamt that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all 83 1.1.2.2 yamt third parties, at your option). 84 1.1.2.2 yamt 85 1.1.2.2 yamt c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when 86 1.1.2.2 yamt run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use 87 1.1.2.2 yamt in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an 88 1.1.2.2 yamt announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice 89 1.1.2.2 yamt that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a 90 1.1.2.2 yamt warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these 91 1.1.2.2 yamt conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General 92 1.1.2.2 yamt Public License. 93 1.1.2.2 yamt 94 1.1.2.2 yamt d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a 95 1.1.2.2 yamt copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in 96 1.1.2.2 yamt exchange for a fee. 97 1.1.2.2 yamt 98 1.1.2.2 yamt Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its 99 1.1.2.2 yamt derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring 100 1.1.2.2 yamt the other work under the scope of these terms. 101 1.1.2.2 yamt 103 1.1.2.2 yamt 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of 104 1.1.2.2 yamt it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 105 1.1.2.2 yamt Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 106 1.1.2.2 yamt 107 1.1.2.2 yamt a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 108 1.1.2.2 yamt source code, which must be distributed under the terms of 109 1.1.2.2 yamt Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, 110 1.1.2.2 yamt 111 1.1.2.2 yamt b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 112 1.1.2.2 yamt years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge 113 1.1.2.2 yamt for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the 114 1.1.2.2 yamt corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of 115 1.1.2.2 yamt Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, 116 1.1.2.2 yamt 117 1.1.2.2 yamt c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the 118 1.1.2.2 yamt corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is 119 1.1.2.2 yamt allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 120 1.1.2.2 yamt received the program in object code or executable form alone.) 121 1.1.2.2 yamt 122 1.1.2.2 yamt Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 123 1.1.2.2 yamt modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means 124 1.1.2.2 yamt all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special 125 1.1.2.2 yamt exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard 126 1.1.2.2 yamt libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable 127 1.1.2.2 yamt file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that 128 1.1.2.2 yamt accompany that operating system. 129 1.1.2.2 yamt 130 1.1.2.2 yamt 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the 131 1.1.2.2 yamt Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. 132 1.1.2.2 yamt Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer 133 1.1.2.2 yamt the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use 134 1.1.2.2 yamt the Program under this License. However, parties who have received 135 1.1.2.2 yamt copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public 136 1.1.2.2 yamt License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties 137 1.1.2.2 yamt remain in full compliance. 138 1.1.2.2 yamt 139 1.1.2.2 yamt 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based 140 1.1.2.2 yamt on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, 141 1.1.2.2 yamt and all its terms and conditions. 142 1.1.2.2 yamt 143 1.1.2.2 yamt 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 144 1.1.2.2 yamt Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original 145 1.1.2.2 yamt licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these 146 1.1.2.2 yamt terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the 147 1.1.2.2 yamt recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 148 1.1.2.2 yamt 150 1.1.2.2 yamt 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 151 1.1.2.2 yamt of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 152 1.1.2.2 yamt be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 153 1.1.2.2 yamt address new problems or concerns. 154 1.1.2.2 yamt 155 1.1.2.2 yamt Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 156 1.1.2.2 yamt specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any 157 1.1.2.2 yamt later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 158 1.1.2.2 yamt either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 159 1.1.2.2 yamt Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 160 1.1.2.2 yamt the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 161 1.1.2.2 yamt Foundation. 162 1.1.2.2 yamt 163 1.1.2.2 yamt 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 164 1.1.2.2 yamt programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 165 1.1.2.2 yamt to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 166 1.1.2.2 yamt Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 167 1.1.2.2 yamt make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 168 1.1.2.2 yamt of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 169 1.1.2.2 yamt of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 170 1.1.2.2 yamt 171 1.1.2.2 yamt NO WARRANTY 172 1.1.2.2 yamt 173 1.1.2.2 yamt 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 174 1.1.2.2 yamt FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 175 1.1.2.2 yamt OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 176 1.1.2.2 yamt PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 177 1.1.2.2 yamt OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 178 1.1.2.2 yamt MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 179 1.1.2.2 yamt TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 180 1.1.2.2 yamt PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 181 1.1.2.2 yamt REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 182 1.1.2.2 yamt 183 1.1.2.2 yamt 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 184 1.1.2.2 yamt WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 185 1.1.2.2 yamt REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 186 1.1.2.2 yamt INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 187 1.1.2.2 yamt OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 188 1.1.2.2 yamt TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 189 1.1.2.2 yamt YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 190 1.1.2.2 yamt PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 191 1.1.2.2 yamt POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 192 1.1.2.2 yamt 193 1.1.2.2 yamt END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 194 1.1.2.2 yamt 196 1.1.2.2 yamt Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 197 1.1.2.2 yamt 198 1.1.2.2 yamt If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 199 1.1.2.2 yamt possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it 200 1.1.2.2 yamt free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these 201 1.1.2.2 yamt terms. 202 1.1.2.2 yamt 203 1.1.2.2 yamt To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to 204 1.1.2.2 yamt attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey 205 1.1.2.2 yamt the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the 206 1.1.2.2 yamt "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 207 1.1.2.2 yamt 208 1.1.2.2 yamt <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 209 1.1.2.2 yamt Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> 210 1.1.2.2 yamt 211 1.1.2.2 yamt This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 212 1.1.2.2 yamt it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 213 1.1.2.2 yamt the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) 214 1.1.2.2 yamt any later version. 215 1.1.2.2 yamt 216 1.1.2.2 yamt This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 217 1.1.2.2 yamt but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 218 1.1.2.2 yamt MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 219 1.1.2.2 yamt GNU General Public License for more details. 220 1.1.2.2 yamt 221 1.1.2.2 yamt You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 222 1.1.2.2 yamt along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 223 1.1.2.2 yamt Foundation, Inc. 224 1.1.2.2 yamt 225 1.1.2.2 yamt Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 226 1.1.2.2 yamt 227 1.1.2.2 yamt If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 228 1.1.2.2 yamt when it starts in an interactive mode: 229 1.1.2.2 yamt 230 1.1.2.2 yamt Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author 231 1.1.2.2 yamt Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 232 1.1.2.2 yamt This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 233 1.1.2.2 yamt under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 234 1.1.2.2 yamt 235 1.1.2.2 yamt The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the 236 1.1.2.2 yamt appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the 237 1.1.2.2 yamt commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show 238 1.1.2.2 yamt c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your 239 1.1.2.2 yamt program. 240 1.1.2.2 yamt 241 1.1.2.2 yamt You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 242 1.1.2.2 yamt school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 243 1.1.2.2 yamt necessary. Here a sample; alter the names: 244 1.1.2.2 yamt 245 1.1.2.2 yamt Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the 246 1.1.2.2 yamt program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes 247 1.1.2.2 yamt at assemblers) written by James Hacker. 248 1.1.2.2 yamt 249 <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 250 Ty Coon, President of Vice 251 252 That's all there is to it! 253
