age or distribution medium does not bring the other
work under the scope of this License.
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:
a) Accompany it with the complete correspond-
ing machine-readable source code, which must
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and
2 above on a medium customarily used for soft-
ware interchange; or,
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 per-
forming 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,
c) Accompany it with the information you
received as to the offer to distribute correspond-
ing source code. (This alternative is allowed only
for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executa-
ble form with such an offer, in accord with Sub-
section b above.)
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.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute
the Program except as expressly provided under this
License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sub-
license or distribute the Program is void, and will
automatically terminate your rights under this
License. However, parties who have received cop-
ies, or rights, from you under this License will not
have their licenses terminated so long as such par-
ties remain in full compliance.
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.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any
work based on the Program), the recipient automati-
cally 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.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or alle-
gation 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 sat-
isfy 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 per-
mit 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 unen-
forceable 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 cir-
cumstances.
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 imple-
mented by public license practices. Many people
have made generous contributions to the wide range
of software distributed through that system in reli-
ance on consistent application of that system; it is
up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is will-
ing 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.
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 exclud-
ing 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.
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 num-
ber. 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 con-
ditions 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 pub-
lished by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program
into other free programs whose distribution condi-
tions are different, write to the author to ask for per-
mission. For software which is copyrighted by the
Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Soft-
ware 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.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED
FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMIT-
TED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTH-
ERWISE 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 MERCHANTABI-
LITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PUR-
POSE. 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 CORREC-
TION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLI-
CABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL
ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER
PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIB-
UTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING
ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CON-
SEQUENTIAL 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.

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 war-
ranty; and each file should have at least the "copy-
right" line and a pointer to where the full notice is
found.
one line to give the program`s name and an idea of
what it does.

notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name

Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WAR-
RANTY; for details type `show w`. This is free soft-
ware, and you are welcome to redistribute it under
certain conditions; type `show c` for details.
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.
