Enhver har tilladelse til at kopiere og distribuere ordrette eksemplarer af dette licensdokument, men det er ikke tilladt at ændre det.

Forord

De fleste licenser på software har til formål at fjerne Deres ret til at dele softwaren med andre og ændre i det. I modsætning hertil har GNU General Public License til formål at garantere Deres ret til at dele og ændre frit software - for at sikre, at det pågældende software er tilgængeligt for alle brugere. Denne licens, General Public License, er gældende for størstedelen af Free Software Foundations software samt for ethvert andet program, hvis ophavsmænd ønsker at anvende licensen. (En del af Free Software Foundations programmer er i stedet omfattet af "The GNU Library General Public License".) De kan også anvende licensen til Deres programmer.

Vi taler om frit software - ikke gratis software. Dvs. vi taler om frihedsgraden, og ikke om prisen. Vores licenser, General Public Licenses, er udarbejdet med henblik på at sikre Deres frihed til at distribuere kopier af frit software (og evt. tage betaling for denne ydelse) og at sørge for, at De modtager den pågældende kildetekst eller kan få den, hvis De vil; at De kan ændre softwaren eller bruge dele af det til nye programmer; og at De er klar over, at De har disse rettigheder.

For at beskytte Deres rettigheder er vi nødt til at lave restriktioner, der forbyder andre at nægte Dem disse rettigheder eller kræve, at De afstår disse rettigheder. Disse restriktioner indebærer visse forpligtelser for Dem, hvis De distribuerer kopier af softwaren eller ændrer det.

Hvis De f.eks. distribuerer kopier af et sådant program, enten gratis eller mod gebyr, er De forpligtet til at give modtagere alle de rettigheder, som De selv har. De skal sikre, at også modtagerne får eller kan få fat på kildeteksten. Desuden er De forpligtet til, at vise modtagerne disse betingelser, så de også er bekendt med deres rettigheder.

Vi beskytter Deres rettigheder med en totrinsmodel: (1) vi tager ophavsret på softwaren og (2) vi tilbyder Dem denne licens, der giver Dem juridisk ret til at kopiere, distribuere og/eller ændre softwaren.

Desuden vil vi med henblik på at beskytte os selv og de enkelte softwareproducenter sikre os, at alle er bekendte med, at der ikke ydes nogen garanti på dette frie software. Hvis programmet er ændret af en anden og givet videre, vil vi have, at modtagerne skal vide, at deres version ikke er det originale program. Således undgår vi, at eventuelle problemer indarbejdet af andre ikke skader de oprindelige softwareproducenters ry.

Endelig er ethvert frit program under konstant trussel fra softwarepatenter. Vi ønsker at undgå faren for, at de, der videregiver et frit program, personligt udtager patentlicens, hvorved programmet faktisk bliver beskyttet af ophavsret. For at undgå dette har vi gjort det klart, at ethvert patent skal registreres til alles frie afbenyttelse eller slet ikke registreres.

Nedenfor følger de betingelser og vilkår, der gælder i forhold til at kopiere, distribuere og ændre software under General Public License.

BETINGELSER OG VILKÅR FOR KOPIERING, DISTRIBUTION OG ÆNDRING AF SOFTWARE UNDER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

0.

Denne licens gælder for ethvert program eller andet værk, som ved siden af navnet på ophavsretindehaveren har en meddelelse om, at det pågældende produkt må distribueres under de gældende betingelser for denne General Public License. I det følgende henviser ordet "Program" til ethvert sådant program eller værk, og et "Værk baseret på Programmet" betegner enten Programmet eller ethvert afledt værk i henhold til lovgivningen om ophavsret. Det betyder med andre ord et værk, der indeholder Programmet eller en del af det, enten ordret eller ændret og/eller oversat til et andet sprog. (I det følgende omfattes oversættelser, uden begrænsninger, af termen "ændring".) Enhver licenstager tiltales som "De".
Aktiviteter ud over kopiering, distribution og ændring er ikke dækket af denne licens men falder uden for dens område. Der er ingen restriktioner på at køre Programmet, og outputtet fra Programmet er kun omfattet, hvis indholdet heraf udgør et Værk baseret på Programmet (uafhængigt af at være blevet lavet ved at køre Programmet). Om dette er tilfældet, afhænger af, hvad Programmet gør.

1.

De har ret til at kopiere og distribuere ordrette kopier af Programmets kildetekst, således som De har modtaget den, i ethvert medium, under forudsætning af, at alle kopier tydeligt og på behørig vis forsynes med en passende ophavsretmeddelelse og garantifraskrivelse; at alle meddelelser, der refererer til denne licens og den manglende garanti, bibeholdes; og at en kopi af denne licens vedlægges, når De distribuerer Programmet.
De har ret til at tage et gebyr for den fysiske handling at overføre en kopi, og De kan eventuelt tilbyde garantibeskyttelse mod et gebyr.

2.

De har ret til at ændre Deres kopi eller kopier, eller en hvilken som helst del deraf, hvorved der skabes et Værk baseret på Programmet, samt ret til at kopiere og distribuere sådanne ændringer eller værk i henhold til paragraf 1 ovenfor, forudsat De også opfylder følgende betingelser:

1. De er forpligtet til at sikre, at de ændrede filer har en tydelig meddelelse om, at De har foretaget ændringer i filerne samt datoen herfor.
2. De er forpligtet til at sikre, at ethvert værk, som De distribuerer eller offentliggør, der helt eller delvis indeholder Programmet, eller som er afledt af Programmet eller dele heraf, skal registreres til alles frie afbenyttelse i henhold til denne licens.
3. Hvis det ændrede program normalt læser kommandoer interaktivt, når det køres, skal De sikre, at der ved starten på programkørslen for interaktiv brug på den mest normale vis udskrives eller vises en meddelelse, som indeholder behørig ophavsretmeddelelse og garantifraskrivelse (eller alternativt tilkendegive, at De ønsker at tilbyde garanti) samt fortæller, at brugere har ret til videredistribuere Programmet under disse betingelser. Desuden skal meddelelsen orientere brugeren om, hvordan en kopi af denne licens kan vises. (Undtagelse: Hvis selve Programmet er interaktivt, men ikke normalt printer en sådan besked, kræves det ikke, at Deres Værk baseret på Programmet printer den omtalte besked.)

Disse krav er gældende for det ændrede værk i sin helhed. Hvis identificerbare sektioner af værket ikke er afledt af Programmet, og hvis disse i sig selv med rimelighed kan anses for at være selvstændige og separate værker, så gælder denne licens og dens betingelser ikke for de sektioner, når De distribuerer dem som separate værker. Hvis De derimod distribuerer de samme sektioner som en del af et hele, der udgør et Værk baseret på Programmet, skal denne distribution være i overensstemmelse med licensens betingelser. De rettigheder, som licensen yder alle, udvides til det pågældende værk i sin helhed og gælder således for enhver del af værket, uanset ophavsmanden.
Det er således ikke vores hensigt med denne paragraf at påberåbe os rettigheder eller bestride Deres rettigheder til værker skrevet af Dem alene. Hensigten er derimod at udøve vores ret til at kontrollere distributionen af afledte værker eller kollektive værker baseret på Programmet.
Hertil kommer, at forekomsten af et andet værk på et lagrings- eller distributionsmedium, der indeholder Programmet eller et Værk baseret på Programmet, medfører ikke, at det andet værk omfattes af betingelserne for denne licens.

3.

De har ret til at kopiere og distribuere Programmet (eller et Værk baseret på Programmet i henhold til paragraf 2) i objektkode eller i eksekverbar form i henhold til betingelserne i paragraf 1 og 2 under forudsætning af, at De også følger én af disse retningslinjer:

1. Programmet ledsages af den fuldstændige maskinlæsbare kildetekst, der skal distribueres under de anførte betingelser i paragraf 1 og 2 ovenfor i et medium, der sædvanligvis bruges til udveksling af software; eller
2. Programmet ledsages af et skriftligt tilbud - gældende i mindst tre år - om at give tredjemand den fuldstændige maskinlæsbare kildetekst, der skal distribueres under de anførte betingelser i paragraf 1 og 2 ovenfor i et medium, der sædvanligvis bruges til udveksling af software, mod et gebyr, der maksimalt dækker Deres omkostninger ved rent fysisk at udføre distributionen,; eller
3. Programmet ledsages af den information, som De modtog vedrørende tilbuddet om at distribuere kildeteksten. (Dette alternativ gælder udelukkende for ukommerciel distribution, og kun hvis De har modtaget Programmet i objektkode eller i eksekverbar form med et sådant tilbud i henhold til stykke b ovenfor.)

Kildeteksten for et værk betyder den form af et givet værk, der foretrækkes som grundlag for at ændre det. For et eksekverbart værk betyder den fuldstændige kildetekst hele kildeteksten for alle de moduler, det indeholder, plus eventuelle tilhørende grænseflade-definitionsfiler plus de skripter, der anvendes til at kontrollere kompileringen og installeringen af det eksekverbare software. Helt undtagelsesvis behøver den kildetekst, der distribueres, dog ikke at indeholde noget, der normalt distribueres (enten i kildeform eller i binær form) sammen med de større komponenter i operativsystemet (compiler, kerneprogram, osv.), som det eksekverbare program køres på, medmindre den komponent selv ledsager det eksekverbare program.
Hvis distributionen af det eksekverbare program eller objektkoden foretages ved tilbud om adgang til at kopiere fra et angivet sted, regnes tilbud om tilsvarende adgang til at kopiere kildeteksten fra det samme sted som distribution af kildeteksten, også selv om tredjemand ikke er tvunget til at kopiere kildeteksten sammen med objektkoden.

4.

De har kun ret til at kopiere, ændre, udstede underlicenser for eller distribuere Programmet som udtrykkeligt anført i de specifikke betingelser for licensen. Herudover er ethvert forsøg på at kopiere, ændre, udstede underlicenser for eller distribuere Programmet ugyldigt og medfører automatisk ophør af Deres rettigheder i henhold til denne licens. På den anden side vil tredjemand, der måtte have modtaget kopier eller rettigheder fra Dem i henhold til denne licens, ikke miste sin licens så længe alle betingelser for licensen overholdes.

5.

De er ikke forpligtet til at acceptere denne licens, eftersom De ikke har skrevet under på den. De har dog ingen anden mulighed for at få tilladelse til at ændre eller distribuere Programmet eller dets afledte værker, og de handlinger er forbudt ved lov, hvis De ikke accepterer denne licens. Ved at ændre eller distribuere Programmet (eller et Værk baseret på Programmet) tilkendegiver De derfor Deres accept af licensen samt alle dens betingelser og vilkår for at kopiere, distribuere eller ændre Programmet eller Værker baseret på Programmet.

6.

Hver gang De distribuerer Programmet (eller et Værk baseret på Programmet), får modtageren automatisk licens fra den oprindelige licensgiver til at kopiere, distribuere eller ændre Programmet i henhold til disse betingelser og vilkår. De har ikke ret til at pålægge modtagerne yderligere restriktioner i deres brug af de rettigheder, der herved ydes. De er ikke ansvarlig for at håndhæve tredjemands overholdelse af denne licens.

7.

Hvis De som følge af en retsafgørelse eller påstand om krænkelse af patentret eller af en hvilken som helst anden grund (ikke begrænset til patentudstedelse) påtvinges vilkår (det være sig ved retskendelse, kontrakt eller andet), der strider mod vilkårene for denne licens, er De ikke dermed fritaget for vilkårene for denne licens. Hvis De ikke kan distribuere Programmet, således at De på samme tid opfylder Deres forpligtelser i henhold til denne licens og i overensstemmelse med andre relevante forpligtelser, følger det, at De ikke har tilladelse til at distribuere Programmet overhovedet. Hvis f.eks. en patentlicens ikke ville tillade afgiftsfri videredistribution af Programmet via alle dem, der modtager kopier direkte eller indirekte igennem Dem, ville den eneste måde, hvorpå De kunne overholde både patentlicensen og denne licens, at De fuldstændigt afholder Dem fra at distribuere Programmet.
Dersom en del af denne paragraf erklæres ugyldig eller bliver umulig at håndhæve i en bestemt situation, er det hensigten, at resten af paragraffen skal finde anvendelse, ligesom det er hensigten, at paragraffen som helhed skal gælde i andre situationer.
Det er således ikke formålet med denne paragraf at tilskynde Dem til at krænke andre patenter eller ejendomskrav eller at bestride gyldigheden af sådanne krav. Denne paragraf har udelukkende til formål at beskytte integriteten af distributionssystemet for frit software, som er implementeret gennem offentlig licenspraksis. Der er mange mennesker, der har ydet store bidrag til det brede udvalg af software, der distribueres via dette system i tiltro til, at systemet anvendes konsekvent. Det er op til softwareproducenten/donoren at beslutte, om han eller hun er villig til at distribuere software via et andet system, og en licenstager har ikke ret til at påtvinge nogen et sådant valg.
Formålet med denne paragraf er at gøre det fuldstændigt klart, hvad konsekvensen af resten af denne licens menes at være.

8.

Hvis distributionen og/eller brugen af Programmet er underlagt restriktioner i visse lande pga. enten patenter eller grænseflader, der er belagt med ophavsret, kan den oprindelige ophavsretindehaver, der har placeret Programmet under denne licens, tilføje en udtrykkelig geografisk distributionsbegrænsning, der udelukker de pågældende lande, således at distribution kun er tilladt i eller imellem lande, der ikke på denne vis er udelukket. I tilfælde heraf inkorporerer denne licens en sådan begrænsning som om den var indarbejdet i selve licenstekstens ordlyd.

9.

The Free Software Foundation offentliggør formodentligt reviderede og/eller nye versioner af sin General Public License fra tid til anden. Sådanne nye versioner vil udtrykke den samme grundlæggende tankegang som den nuværende version, men visse detaljer vil sikkert ændres for at tage højde for nye vinkler eller problemer.
Det er let at kende forskel på de forskellige versioner, idet de alle er tydeligt forsynet med et nummer. Hvis Programmet specificerer et versionsnummer for denne licens som gældende for Programmet, tillige med ordene "alle senere versioner", har De mulighed for at vælge, om De vil følge vilkår og betingelser for enten den version eller en anden senere version udgivet af The Free Software Foundation. Hvis Programmet ikke specificerer et versionsnummer for denne licens, kan De vælge blandt samtlige versioner, der nogensinde er udgivet af The Free Software Foundation.

10.

Hvis De ønsker at inkorporere dele af Programmet i andre frie programmer, der er underlagt andre distributionsbetingelser, foreslår vi, at De skriver til ophavsmanden og anmoder om tilladelse. Hvis det drejer sig om software, hvor ophavsretten tilhører The Free Software Foundation, bedes De skrive til The Free Software Foundation. Der er visse undtagelser. Vores afgørelse vil være baseret på to mål - at bevare den frie status for alle afledte værker af vores frie software og at fremme udvekslingen og genbrugen af software generelt.
INGEN GARANTI

11.

IDET LICENSEN GIVER GRATIS BRUGSTILLADELSE PÅ PROGRAMMET, YDES DER INGEN GARANTI PÅ PROGRAMMET I DET OMFANG, DET ER TILLADT EFTER GÆLDENDE LOV. MEDMINDRE DET UDTRYKKELIGT MEDDELES SKRIFTLIGT, YDER OPHAVSRETINDEHAVERNE OG/ELLER ANDRE PARTER PROGRAMMET "SOM BESET" UDEN GARANTI AF NOGEN ART, DET VÆRE SIG UDTRYKTE ELLER UNDERFORSTÅEDE GARANTIER, HERUNDER, MEN IKKE BEGRÆNSET TIL, DE UNDERFORSTÅEDE GARANTIER VEDRØRENDE SALGBARHED OG SPECIFIK BRUGSEGNETHED. DEN FULDE RISIKO, HVAD ANGÅR PROGRAMMETS KVALITET OG FUNKTION, PÅHVILER DEM. SKULLE DET VISE SIG, AT PROGRAMMET ER DEFEKT, SKAL DE ERHOLDE UDGIFTERNE TIL AL NØDVENDIG SERVICE, REPARATION ELLER JUSTERING.

12.

UNDER INGEN OMSTÆNDIGHEDER - MEDMINDRE DET KRÆVES AF GÆLDENDE LOV ELLER ER SKRIFTLIGT AFTALT - SKAL EN OPHAVSRETINDEHAVER ELLER EN ANDEN PART, DER HAR TILLADELSE TIL AT ÆNDRE OG/ELLER DISTRIBUERE PROGRAMMET SÅLEDES SOM BESKREVET OVENFOR, VÆRE ERSTATNINGSANSVARLIG OVER FOR DEM VEDRØRENDE SKADER, HERUNDER GENERELLE, SPECIFIKKE OG TILFÆLDIGE SKADER SAMT FØLGESKADER I FORBINDELSE MED BRUG AF ELLER MANGLENDE BRUG AF PROGRAMMET (HERUNDER MEN IKKE BEGRÆNSET TIL TAB AF DATA ELLER DATA, DER ER BLEVET UNØJAGTIGE, ELLER TAB, DER ER PÅFØRT DEM ELLER TREDJEMAND, ELLER PROGRAMMETS MANGLENDE EVNE TIL AT KØRE SAMMEN MED ANDRE PROGRAMMER) SELV OM DEN PÅGÆLDENDE OPHAVSRETINDEHAVER ELLER ANDEN PART ER BLEVET OPLYST OM MULIGHEDEN FOR, AT SÅDANNE TAB KUNNE OPSTÅ.

HER SLUTTER BETINGELSER OG VILKÅR FOR GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Original English non-translated version of the GPL license agreement:

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

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

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

convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least

the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

Copyright (C)

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify

it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by

the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or

(at your option) any later version.

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

but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the

GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License

along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software

Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this

when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.

This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it

under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate

parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may

be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be

mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your

school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if

necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program

`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into

proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may

consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the

library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General

Public License instead of this License.
