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 soft -
ware 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 soft-
ware, 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) copy -
right 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 re -
distributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To pre -
vent 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.
