    077            + "When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General "

    116            + "Public License. The \"Program\", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "
    117            + "\"work based on the Program\" means either the Program or any derivative work under "

    123            + "Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this "
    124            + "License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, "
    125            + "and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work "
    126            + "based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether "
    127            + "that is true depends on what the Program does.\n"
    128            + "\n"
    129            + "1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you "
    130            + "receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish "
    131            + "on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact "
    132            + "all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and "

    138            + "\n"
    139            + "2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus "

    141            + "work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these "

    143            + "\n"
    144            + "a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you "
    145            + "changed the files and the date of any change.\n"
    146            + "\n"
    147            + "b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part "
    148            + "contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole "
    149            + "at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.\n"
    150            + "\n"
    151            + "c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must "
    152            + "cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to "
    153            + "print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a "
    154            + "notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and "
    155            + "that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user "
    156            + "how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive "
    157            + "but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is "
    158            + "not required to print an announcement.)\n"
    159            + "\n"
    160            + "These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of "
    161            + "that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered "
    162            + "independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not "
    163            + "apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you "
    164            + "distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, "
    165            + "the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions "
    166            + "for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part "
    167            + "regardless of who wrote it.\n"
    168            + "\n"
    169            + "Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to "
    170            + "work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control "
    171            + "the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.\n"
    172            + "\n"
    173            + "In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the "
    174            + "Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution "
    175            + "medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.\n"
    176            + "\n"
    177            + "3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in "
    178            + "object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that "
    179            + "you also do one of the following:\n"
    180            + "\n"
    181            + "a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which "
    182            + "must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily "
    183            + "used for software interchange; or,\n"
    184            + "b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any "
    185            + "third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source "
    186            + "distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be "
    187            + "distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for "
    188            + "software interchange; or,\n"
    189            + "c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute "
    190            + "corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial "
    191            + "distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form "
    192            + "with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)\n"
    193            + "\n"
    194            + "The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making "
    195            + "modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source "
    196            + "code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus "
    197            + "the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, "
    198            + "as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is "
    199            + "normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components "
    200            + "(compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, "
    201            + "unless that component itself accompanies the executable.\n"
    202            + "\n"
    203            + "If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a "
    204            + "designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the "
    205            + "same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are "
    206            + "not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.\n"
    207            + "\n"
    208            + "4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly "
    209            + "provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or "
    210            + "distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under "
    211            + "this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under "
    212            + "this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in "
    213            + "full compliance."
    214            + "\n"
    215            + "5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, "
    216            + "nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its "
    217            + "derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this "
    218            + "License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the "
    219            + "Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and "
    220            + "conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.\n"
    221            + "\n"
    222            + "6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the "
    223            + "recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, "
    224            + "distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not "
    225            + "impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted "
    226            + "herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this "
    227            + "License."
    228            + "\n"
    229            + "7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or "
    230            + "for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you "
    231            + "(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of "

    233            + "cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License "
    234            + "and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the "
    235            + "Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free "
    236            + "redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly "

    243            + "\n"
    244            + "It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other "

    248            + "contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in "
    249            + "reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to "
    250            + "decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a "
