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,
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.
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 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.
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 o f
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
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.
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.
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.
NO WARRANTY
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
"ASIS" 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.
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
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.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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
