Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to

share and change it. By contrast, he 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 ther

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 reedom, 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 chnge 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 restritions

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 ou 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 gies 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 soeone 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 sftware 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 ree use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification

follow.
