◆GNU GENERAL PUBLIC
LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free
Software Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor,
Boston, MA 02110-1301, 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 Lesser
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.
19
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.
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
