 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
insilmaril@535
    34
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

insilmaril@535
    36
			    Preamble
insilmaril@535
    37
insilmaril@535
    38
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
insilmaril@535
    39
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
insilmaril@535
    40
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
insilmaril@535
    41
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
insilmaril@535
    42
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
insilmaril@535
    43
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
insilmaril@535
    44
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
insilmaril@535
    45
the GNU Library General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
insilmaril@535
    46
your programs, too.
insilmaril@535
    47
insilmaril@535
    48
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
insilmaril@535
    49
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
insilmaril@535
    50
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
insilmaril@535
    51
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
insilmaril@535
    52
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
insilmaril@535
    53
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
insilmaril@535
    54
insilmaril@535
    55
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
insilmaril@535
    56
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
insilmaril@535
    57
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
insilmaril@535
    58
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
insilmaril@535
    59
insilmaril@535
    60
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
insilmaril@535
    61
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
insilmaril@535
    62
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
insilmaril@535
    63
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
insilmaril@535
    64
rights.
insilmaril@535
    65
insilmaril@535
    66
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
insilmaril@535
    67
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
insilmaril@535
    68
distribute and/or modify the software.
insilmaril@535
    69
insilmaril@535
    70
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
insilmaril@535
    71
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
insilmaril@535
    72
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
insilmaril@535
    73
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
insilmaril@535
    74
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
insilmaril@535
    75
authors' reputations.
insilmaril@535
    76
insilmaril@535
    77
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
insilmaril@535
    78
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
insilmaril@535
    79
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
insilmaril@535
    80
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
insilmaril@535
    81
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
insilmaril@535
    82
insilmaril@535
    83
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
insilmaril@535
    84
modification follow.

insilmaril@535
    86
		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
insilmaril@535
    87
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
insilmaril@535
    88
insilmaril@535
    89
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
insilmaril@535
    90
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
insilmaril@535
    91
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
insilmaril@535
    92
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
insilmaril@535
    93
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
insilmaril@535
    94
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
insilmaril@535
    95
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
insilmaril@535
    96
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
insilmaril@535
    97
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
insilmaril@535
    98
insilmaril@535
    99
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
insilmaril@535
   100
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
insilmaril@535
   101
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
insilmaril@535
   102
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
insilmaril@535
   103
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
insilmaril@535
   104
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
insilmaril@535
   105
insilmaril@535
   106
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
insilmaril@535
   107
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
insilmaril@535
   108
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
insilmaril@535
   109
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
insilmaril@535
   110
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
insilmaril@535
   111
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
insilmaril@535
   112
along with the Program.
insilmaril@535
   113
insilmaril@535
   114
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
insilmaril@535
   115
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
insilmaril@535
   116
insilmaril@535
   117
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
insilmaril@535
   118
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
insilmaril@535
   119
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
insilmaril@535
   120
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
insilmaril@535
   121
insilmaril@535
   122
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
insilmaril@535
   123
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
insilmaril@535
   124
insilmaril@535
   125
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
insilmaril@535
   126
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
insilmaril@535
   127
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
insilmaril@535
   128
    parties under the terms of this License.
insilmaril@535
   129
insilmaril@535
   130
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
insilmaril@535
   131
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
insilmaril@535
   132
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
insilmaril@535
   133
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
insilmaril@535
   134
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
insilmaril@535
   135
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
insilmaril@535
   136
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
insilmaril@535
   137
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
insilmaril@535
   138
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
insilmaril@535
   139
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
insilmaril@535
   140
insilmaril@535
   141
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
insilmaril@535
   142
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
insilmaril@535
   143
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
insilmaril@535
   144
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
insilmaril@535
   145
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
insilmaril@535
   146
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
insilmaril@535
   147
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
insilmaril@535
   148
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
insilmaril@535
   149
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
insilmaril@535
   150
insilmaril@535
   151
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
insilmaril@535
   152
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
insilmaril@535
   153
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
insilmaril@535
   154
collective works based on the Program.
insilmaril@535
   155
insilmaril@535
   156
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
insilmaril@535
   157
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
insilmaril@535
   158
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
insilmaril@535
   159
the scope of this License.
insilmaril@535
   160
insilmaril@535
   161
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
insilmaril@535
   162
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
insilmaril@535
   163
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
insilmaril@535
   164
insilmaril@535
   165
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
insilmaril@535
   166
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
insilmaril@535
   167
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
insilmaril@535
   168
insilmaril@535
   169
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
insilmaril@535
   170
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
insilmaril@535
   171
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
insilmaril@535
   172
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
insilmaril@535
   173
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
insilmaril@535
   174
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
insilmaril@535
   175
insilmaril@535
   176
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
insilmaril@535
   177
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
insilmaril@535
   178
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
insilmaril@535
   179
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
insilmaril@535
   180
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
insilmaril@535
   181
insilmaril@535
   182
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
insilmaril@535
   183
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
insilmaril@535
   184
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
insilmaril@535
   185
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
insilmaril@535
   186
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
insilmaril@535
   187
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
insilmaril@535
   188
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
insilmaril@535
   189
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
insilmaril@535
   190
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
insilmaril@535
   191
itself accompanies the executable.
insilmaril@535
   192
insilmaril@535
   193
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
insilmaril@535
   194
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
insilmaril@535
   195
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
insilmaril@535
   196
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
insilmaril@535
   197
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
insilmaril@535
   198

insilmaril@535
   199
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
insilmaril@535
   200
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
insilmaril@535
   201
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
insilmaril@535
   202
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
insilmaril@535
   203
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
insilmaril@535
   204
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
insilmaril@535
   205
parties remain in full compliance.
insilmaril@535
   206
insilmaril@535
   207
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
insilmaril@535
   208
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
insilmaril@535
   209
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
insilmaril@535
   210
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
insilmaril@535
   211
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
insilmaril@535
   212
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
insilmaril@535
   213
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
insilmaril@535
   214
the Program or works based on it.
insilmaril@535
   215
insilmaril@535
   216
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
insilmaril@535
   217
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
insilmaril@535
   218
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
insilmaril@535
   219
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
insilmaril@535
   220
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
insilmaril@535
   221
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
insilmaril@535
   222
this License.
insilmaril@535
   223
insilmaril@535
   224
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
insilmaril@535
   225
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
insilmaril@535
   226
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
insilmaril@535
   227
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
insilmaril@535
   228
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
insilmaril@535
   229
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
insilmaril@535
   230
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
insilmaril@535
   231
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
insilmaril@535
   232
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
insilmaril@535
   233
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
insilmaril@535
   234
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
insilmaril@535
   235
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
insilmaril@535
   236
insilmaril@535
   237
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
insilmaril@535
   238
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
insilmaril@535
   239
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
insilmaril@535
   240
circumstances.
insilmaril@535
   241
insilmaril@535
   242
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
insilmaril@535
   243
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
insilmaril@535
   244
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
insilmaril@535
   245
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
insilmaril@535
   246
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
insilmaril@535
   247
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
insilmaril@535
   248
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
insilmaril@535
   249
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
insilmaril@535
   250
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
insilmaril@535
   251
impose that choice.
insilmaril@535
   252
insilmaril@535
   253
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
insilmaril@535
   254
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
insilmaril@535
   255
insilmaril@535
   256
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
insilmaril@535
   257
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
insilmaril@535
   258
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
insilmaril@535
   259
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
insilmaril@535
   260
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
insilmaril@535
   261
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
insilmaril@535
   262
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
insilmaril@535
   263
