The parties have agreed to sign the present LICENSING CONTRACT OF USE,
PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, REPRODUCTION, AND ALTERATION OF OPEN CODE COMPUTER
PROGRAM, referred to in this LICENSE as PROGRAM.
2.TERMS USED IN THIS LICENSE
2.1.The term "computer program" is defined in article of Law number 9.609/98 as
"the expression of an organized group of instructions in codified or natural
language, contained in physical support of any nature, of necessary use in
automatic machines of information treatment, devices, instruments or peripheral
equipment, based on digital or analogue technology, in order to make them
function in a particular way for a particular purpose".

2.2.1.Compiled: term which represents any distribution prepared to be
understood by the machines on which the execution of the PROGRAM is meant to
occur;
2.2.2.The source-code: term which represents the appropriate way to make
alterations in the PROGRAM. The source-code distributed must include all the
source-codes from all the modules contained in and necessary to the normal
functioning of the PROGRAM, in addition to the routines used for controlling
its compilation and installation. It is not necessary to include in the source-
code anything that is already normally distributed, whether in the form of
source-code or compiled, such as the components of the operational system in
which the PROGRAM will be executed.
2.3.It is the principle of this LICENSE to make public the necessary knowledge
for the preparation and comprehension of the working mechanisms of the PROGRAM,
so that all DISTRIBUTION is accompanied by the most appropriate form for its
study and alteration.
2.4.The term LICENSE or GPL-PA will be used hereafter to designate this
licensing term. The concepts here expressed are those of the applicable
legislation, notably of Law 9.61098.
3.OBJECT: LICENSING FOR USE, PUBLICATION, DISTRIBUTION, REPRODUCTION AND
ALTERATION OF COMPUTER PROGRAM.

AND ALTERATION, understood according to article 5 of Law 9.61098, of the

3.2.The free-of-charge nature of the license here presented does not preclude
charges for other services or costs, such as for example DEVELOPING,
APROPRIATING, IMPLANTING or costs associated with the DISTRIBUTION OF THE
PROGRAM.

object with regard to any of the rights which are the object of this term, when
exercised according to what is hereby agreed.
