      5  1.1  mrg      51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
      6  1.1  mrg  Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
      7  1.1  mrg  of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
      8  1.1  mrg 
      9  1.1  mrg 			    Preamble
     10  1.1  mrg 
     11  1.1  mrg   The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
     12  1.1  mrg freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
     13  1.1  mrg License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
     14  1.1  mrg software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
     15  1.1  mrg General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
     16  1.1  mrg Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
     17  1.1  mrg using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
     18  1.1  mrg the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
     19  1.1  mrg your programs, too.
     20  1.1  mrg 
     21  1.1  mrg   When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
     22  1.1  mrg price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
     23  1.1  mrg have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
     24  1.1  mrg this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
     25  1.1  mrg if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
     26  1.1  mrg in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
     27  1.1  mrg 
     28  1.1  mrg   To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
     29  1.1  mrg anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
     30  1.1  mrg These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
     31  1.1  mrg distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
     32  1.1  mrg 
     33  1.1  mrg   For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
     34  1.1  mrg gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
     35  1.1  mrg you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
     36  1.1  mrg source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
     37  1.1  mrg rights.
     38  1.1  mrg 
     39  1.1  mrg   We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
     40  1.1  mrg (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
     41  1.1  mrg distribute and/or modify the software.
     42  1.1  mrg 
     43  1.1  mrg   Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
     44  1.1  mrg that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
     45  1.1  mrg software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
     46  1.1  mrg want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
     47  1.1  mrg that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
     48  1.1  mrg authors' reputations.
     49  1.1  mrg 
     50  1.1  mrg   Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
     51  1.1  mrg patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
     52  1.1  mrg program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
     53  1.1  mrg program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
     54  1.1  mrg patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
     55  1.1  mrg 
     56  1.1  mrg   The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
     57  1.1  mrg modification follow.
     58  1.1  mrg 
     60  1.1  mrg 		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
     61  1.1  mrg    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
     62  1.1  mrg 
     63  1.1  mrg   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
     64  1.1  mrg a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
     65  1.1  mrg under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
     66  1.1  mrg refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
     67  1.1  mrg means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
     68  1.1  mrg that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
     69  1.1  mrg either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
     70  1.1  mrg language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
     71  1.1  mrg the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
     72  1.1  mrg 
     73  1.1  mrg Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
     74  1.1  mrg covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
     75  1.1  mrg running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
     76  1.1  mrg is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
     77  1.1  mrg Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
     78  1.1  mrg Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
     79  1.1  mrg 
     80  1.1  mrg   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
     81  1.1  mrg source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
     82  1.1  mrg conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
     83  1.1  mrg copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
     84  1.1  mrg notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
     85  1.1  mrg and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
     86  1.1  mrg along with the Program.
     87  1.1  mrg 
     88  1.1  mrg You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
     89  1.1  mrg you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
     90  1.1  mrg 
     91  1.1  mrg   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
     92  1.1  mrg of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
     93  1.1  mrg distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
     94  1.1  mrg above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
     95  1.1  mrg 
     96  1.1  mrg     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
     97  1.1  mrg     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
     98  1.1  mrg 
     99  1.1  mrg     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    100  1.1  mrg     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    101  1.1  mrg     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    102  1.1  mrg     parties under the terms of this License.
    103  1.1  mrg 
    104  1.1  mrg     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    105  1.1  mrg     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    106  1.1  mrg     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    107  1.1  mrg     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    108  1.1  mrg     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    109  1.1  mrg     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    110  1.1  mrg     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    111  1.1  mrg     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    112  1.1  mrg     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    113  1.1  mrg     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
    114  1.1  mrg 
    116  1.1  mrg These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
    117  1.1  mrg identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
    118  1.1  mrg and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
    119  1.1  mrg themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
    120  1.1  mrg sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
    121  1.1  mrg distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
    122  1.1  mrg on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
    123  1.1  mrg this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
    124  1.1  mrg entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
    125  1.1  mrg 
    126  1.1  mrg Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
    127  1.1  mrg your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
    128  1.1  mrg exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
    129  1.1  mrg collective works based on the Program.
    130  1.1  mrg 
    131  1.1  mrg In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
    132  1.1  mrg with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
    133  1.1  mrg a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
    134  1.1  mrg the scope of this License.
    135  1.1  mrg 
    136  1.1  mrg   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
    137  1.1  mrg under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
    138  1.1  mrg Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
    139  1.1  mrg 
    140  1.1  mrg     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
    141  1.1  mrg     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    142  1.1  mrg     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
    143  1.1  mrg 
    144  1.1  mrg     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    145  1.1  mrg     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    146  1.1  mrg     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    147  1.1  mrg     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    148  1.1  mrg     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    149  1.1  mrg     customarily used for software interchange; or,
    150  1.1  mrg 
    151  1.1  mrg     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
    152  1.1  mrg     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    153  1.1  mrg     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    154  1.1  mrg     received the program in object code or executable form with such
    155  1.1  mrg     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
    156  1.1  mrg 
    157  1.1  mrg The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
    158  1.1  mrg making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
    159  1.1  mrg code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
    160  1.1  mrg associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
    161  1.1  mrg control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
    162  1.1  mrg special exception, the source code distributed need not include
    163  1.1  mrg anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
    164  1.1  mrg form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
    165  1.1  mrg operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
    166  1.1  mrg itself accompanies the executable.
    167  1.1  mrg 
    168  1.1  mrg If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
    169  1.1  mrg access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
    170  1.1  mrg access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
    171  1.1  mrg distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
    172  1.1  mrg compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
    173  1.1  mrg 
    175  1.1  mrg   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
    176  1.1  mrg except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
    177  1.1  mrg otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
    178  1.1  mrg void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
    179  1.1  mrg However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
    180  1.1  mrg this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
    181  1.1  mrg parties remain in full compliance.
    182  1.1  mrg 
    183  1.1  mrg   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
    184  1.1  mrg signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
    185  1.1  mrg distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
    186  1.1  mrg prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
    187  1.1  mrg modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
    188  1.1  mrg Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
    189  1.1  mrg all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
    190  1.1  mrg the Program or works based on it.
    191  1.1  mrg 
    192  1.1  mrg   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
    193  1.1  mrg Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
    194  1.1  mrg original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
    195  1.1  mrg these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
    196  1.1  mrg restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
    197  1.1  mrg You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
    198  1.1  mrg this License.
    199  1.1  mrg 
    200  1.1  mrg   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
    201  1.1  mrg infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
    202  1.1  mrg conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    203  1.1  mrg otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    204  1.1  mrg excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
    205  1.1  mrg distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    206  1.1  mrg License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
    207  1.1  mrg may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
    208  1.1  mrg license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
    209  1.1  mrg all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
    210  1.1  mrg the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
    211  1.1  mrg refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
    212  1.1  mrg 
    213  1.1  mrg If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
    214  1.1  mrg any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
    215  1.1  mrg apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
    216  1.1  mrg circumstances.
    217  1.1  mrg 
    218  1.1  mrg It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
    219  1.1  mrg patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
    220  1.1  mrg such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
    221  1.1  mrg integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
    222  1.1  mrg implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
    223  1.1  mrg generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
    224  1.1  mrg through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
    225  1.1  mrg system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
    226  1.1  mrg to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
    227  1.1  mrg impose that choice.
    228  1.1  mrg 
    229  1.1  mrg This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
    230  1.1  mrg be a consequence of the rest of this License.
    231  1.1  mrg 
    233  1.1  mrg   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
    234  1.1  mrg certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
    235  1.1  mrg original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
    236  1.1  mrg may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
    237  1.1  mrg those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
    238  1.1  mrg countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
    239  1.1  mrg the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
    240  1.1  mrg 
    241  1.1  mrg   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
    242  1.1  mrg of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
    243  1.1  mrg be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
    244  1.1  mrg address new problems or concerns.
    245  1.1  mrg 
    246  1.1  mrg Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
    247  1.1  mrg specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
    248  1.1  mrg later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
    249  1.1  mrg either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
    250  1.1  mrg Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
    251  1.1  mrg this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
    252  1.1  mrg Foundation.
    253  1.1  mrg 
    254  1.1  mrg   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
    255  1.1  mrg programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
    256  1.1  mrg to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
    257  1.1  mrg Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
    258  1.1  mrg make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
    259  1.1  mrg of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
    260  1.1  mrg of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
    261  1.1  mrg 
    262  1.1  mrg 			    NO WARRANTY
    263  1.1  mrg 
    264  1.1  mrg   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
    265  1.1  mrg FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
    266  1.1  mrg OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
    267  1.1  mrg PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
    268  1.1  mrg OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
    269  1.1  mrg MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
    270  1.1  mrg TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
    271  1.1  mrg PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
    272  1.1  mrg REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
    273  1.1  mrg 
    274  1.1  mrg   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
    275  1.1  mrg WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
    276  1.1  mrg REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
    277  1.1  mrg INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
    278  1.1  mrg OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
    279  1.1  mrg TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
    280  1.1  mrg YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
    281  1.1  mrg PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
    282  1.1  mrg POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
    283  1.1  mrg 
    284  1.1  mrg 		     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    285  1.1  mrg 
    287  1.1  mrg 	    How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
    288  1.1  mrg 
    289  1.1  mrg   If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
    290  1.1  mrg possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
    291  1.1  mrg free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
    292  1.1  mrg 
    293  1.1  mrg   To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
    294  1.1  mrg to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
    295  1.1  mrg convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
    296  1.1  mrg the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
    297  1.1  mrg

    306  1.1  mrg     This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
