+Version 2, June 1991
+\end{center}
+
+\begin{center}
+Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. \\
+675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies \\
+of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+\end{center}
+
+
+\gplsec{Preamble}
+
+The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to
+share and change it. By contrast, the GNU 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. This General Public License applies
+to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program
+whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation
+software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You
+can apply it to your programs, too.
+
+When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our
+General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom
+to distribute copies of free software (and 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 introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors'
+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.
+
+
+\gplsec{Terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification}
+
+\begin{enumerate}
+
+\makeatletter \setcounter{\@listctr}{-1} \makeatother
+
+\item [0.] 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.
+
+\item [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 License and to the absence of any warranty;
+ and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+ along with the Program.
+
+ 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.
+
+\item [2.] You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+ of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+ distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+ above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+ \begin{enumerate}
+
+ \item [(a)] You must cause the modified files to carry prominent
+ notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any
+ change.
+
+ \item [(b)] You must cause any work that you distribute or publish,
+ that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program
+ or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to
+ all third parties under the terms of this License.
+
+ \item [(c)] If the modified program normally reads commands
+ interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running
+ for such interactive use in the most ordinary 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 License. (Exception: if the Program itself is
+ interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,
+ your work based on the Program is not required to print an
+ announcement.)
+
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+ These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+ identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+ and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+ themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+ sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+ distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+ on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+ this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+ entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
+ it.
+
+ Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+ your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+ exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+ collective works based on the Program.
+
+ In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+ with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a
+ storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the
+ scope of this License.
+
+\item [3.] You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+ under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+ Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ \begin{enumerate}
+
+ \item [(a)] Accompany it with the complete corresponding
+ machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the
+ terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for
+ software interchange; or,
+
+ \item [(b)] Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+ cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+ distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+ customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+ \item [(c)] Accompany it with the information you received as to the
+ offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
+ is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+ received the program in object code or executable form with such
+ an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+ \end{enumerate}
+
+ The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+ making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+ code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+ associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control
+ compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special
+ exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that
+ is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the
+ major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
+ on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
+ the executable.
+
+ If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access
+ to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
+ copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the
+ source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the
+ source along with the object code.
+
+\item [4.] You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+ except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise
+ to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will
+ automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+ parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
+ License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
+ remain in full compliance.
+
+\item [5.] You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+ signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+ distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+ prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+ modifying or distributing 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 for copying, distributing or modifying the
+ Program or works based on it.
+
+\item [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.
+ You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+ this License.
+
+\item [7.] If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+ infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+ conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+ otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+ excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+ distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+ License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+ may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+ license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+ all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+ the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+ refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+ If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+ any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+ apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+ circumstances.
+
+ It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+ patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+ such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+ integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+ implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+ generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+ through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+ system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+ to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+ impose that choice.
+
+ This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+ be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
+\item [8.] If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+ certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+ original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may
+ add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
+ countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
+ not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the
+ limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
+\item [9.] 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 this 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 this License, you may choose any version ever
+ published by the Free Software Foundation.
+
+\item [10.] 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.
+
+\begin{center}
+NO WARRANTY
+\end{center}
+
+\bfseries
+
+\item [11.] 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.
+
+\item [12.] 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.

+\gplsec{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 the public, 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.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
+Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
+
+This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
+it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
+the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
+(at your option) any later version.
+
+This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
+but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
+MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
+GNU General Public License for more details.
+
+You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
+along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
+Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when
+it starts in an interactive mode:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19yy name of author
+Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
+This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
+under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
+\end{verbatim}
+
+The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
+parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be
+called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
+mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
+school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
+necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
+`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
+
+<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
+Ty Coon, President of Vice
+\end{verbatim}
+
+This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
+proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
+consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
+library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public
+License instead of this License.
