>
>  The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
>at the mercy of those companies.  By contrast, our 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.  The
>General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
>software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
>You can use it for your programs, too.
>
>  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
>price.  Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
>sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
>software, 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 a 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 tell them 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.
>
>  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 Agreement 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 work containing the
>Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications.  Each
>licensee is addressed as "you".
>
>  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
>General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
>other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
>along with the Program.  You may charge a fee for the physical act of
>transferring a copy.
>
>  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
>it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
>1 above, provided that you also do the following:
>
>    a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
>    you changed the files and the date of any change; and
>
>    b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
>    in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
>    with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
>    third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
>    that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
>    third parties, at your option).
>
>    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
>    run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
>    in the simplest and most usual 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 General
>    Public License.
>
>    d) 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.
>
>Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
>derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
>the other work under the scope of these terms.
>
>  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
>it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
>Paragraphs 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
>    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
>
>    b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
>    years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
>    for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
>    corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
>    Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
>
>    c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
>    corresponding source code may be obtained.  (This alternative is
>    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
>    received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
>
>Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
>modifications to it.  For an executable file, complete source code means
>all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
>exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
>libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
>file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
>accompany that operating system.
>
>  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
>Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
>Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
>the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
>the Program under this License.  However, parties who have received
>copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
>License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
>remain in full compliance.
>
>  5. By copying, distributing or modifying 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.
>
>  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.
>
>  7. 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 the 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
>the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
>Foundation.
>
>  8. 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
>
>  9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
>FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
>OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
>PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
>OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
>MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
>TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
>PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
>REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
>
>  10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
>WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
>REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
>INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
>OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
>TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
>YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
>PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
>POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
>
>                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
>
>        Appendix: 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 humanity, 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.
>
>    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

>Preamble

>The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
>may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
>artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of
>the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
>customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
>
>Definitions:
>
>  - "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
>    Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
>    textual modification. 
>  - "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
>    or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
>    Holder. 
>  - "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
>    the package. 
>  - "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
>  - "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
>    cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
>    not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
>    computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.) 
>  - "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
>    there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
>    recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
>    received it. 
>
>1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
>Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
>duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
>
>2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
>from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
>a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
>
>3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
>you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
>changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
>
>  a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
>     Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
>     equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
>     such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
>     modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
>
>  b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
>
>  c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
>     standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
>     manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
>     differs from the Standard Version.
>
>  d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
>
>4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
>form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
>
>  a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
>     together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to
>     get the Standard Version.
>
>  b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
>     with your modifications.
>
>  c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
>     Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard
>     names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or
>     equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the Standard
>     Version.
>
>  d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
>
>5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
>Package.  You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You
>may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this
>Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a
>larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not
>advertise this Package as a product of your own.
>
>6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
>from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
>of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold
>commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
>
>7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
>be considered part of this Package.
>
>8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
>products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
>
>9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
