charge for this service if you wish), 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 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 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
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 introdu-
ced by others will not reflect on the original author's reputations�
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software 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 free use or not licensed at all�
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow�
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND
MODIFICATION
This License 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 derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program
or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language�
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term „modification"�) Each licensee is
addressed as „you"�
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are
outside its scope� The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is
covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made
by running the Program)� Whether that is true depends on what the Program does�
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
