GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59
Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 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. TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,
DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 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
