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 Licen-
ses 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 authors´ 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 distribut-
ed 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
