 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  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.

		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   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 License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    parties under the terms of this License.

    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage 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 corresponding machine-readable
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software 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 performing 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 corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
    an offer, in accord with Subsection 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, 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 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 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 "AS IS" 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 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR 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 of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
    Copyright (C) <year>  <name of author>

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
    (at your option) any later version.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
    GNU General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
    along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
    Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA


Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year  name of author
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, 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.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

  <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
  Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
Public License instead of this License.

26			the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
27			your programs, too.
28
29			When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
30			price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
31			have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for

68			TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
69
70			0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
71			a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
72			under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
73			refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
74			means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
75			that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
76			either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
77			language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
78			the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
79
80			Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
81			covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
82			running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
83			is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
84			Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
85			Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
86
87			1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
88			source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
89			conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
90			copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
91			notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
92			and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
93			along with the Program.
94
95			You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
96			you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
97
98			2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
99			of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
100			distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
101			above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
102
103			a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
104			stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
105
106			b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
107			whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
108			part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
109			parties under the terms of this License.
110
111			c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
112			when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
113			interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
114			announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
115			notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
116			a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
117			these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
118			License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
119			does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
120			the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
121
122			These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
123			identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
124			and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
125			themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
126			sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
127			distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
128			on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
129			this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
130			entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
131
132			Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
133			your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
134			exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
135			collective works based on the Program.
136
137			In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
138			with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
139			a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
140			the scope of this License.
141
142			3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
143			under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
144			Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
145
146			a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
147			source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
148			1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
149
150			b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
151			years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
152			cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
153			machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
154			distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
155			customarily used for software interchange; or,
156
157			c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
158			to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
159			allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
160			received the program in object code or executable form with such
161			an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
162
163			The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
164			making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
165			code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
166			associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
167			control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
168			special exception, the source code distributed need not include
169			anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
170			form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
171			operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
172			itself accompanies the executable.
173
174			If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
175			access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
176			access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
177			distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
178			compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
179
180			4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
181			except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
182			otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
183			void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
184			However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
185			this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
186			parties remain in full compliance.
187
188			5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
189			signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
190			distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
191			prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
192			modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
193			Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
194			all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
195			the Program or works based on it.
196
197			6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
198			Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
199			original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
200			these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
201			restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
202			You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
203			this License.
204
205			7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
206			infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
207			conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
208			otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
209			excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
210			distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
211			License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
212			may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
213			license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
214			all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
215			the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
216			refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
217
218			If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
219			any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
220			apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
221			circumstances.
222
223			It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
224			patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
225			such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
226			integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
227			implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
228			generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
229			through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
230			system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
231			to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
232			impose that choice.
233
234			This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
235			be a consequence of the rest of this License.
236
237			8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
238			certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
239			original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
240			may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
241			those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
242			countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
243			the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
244
245			9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
246			of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
247			be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
248			address new problems or concerns.
249
250			Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
251			specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
252			later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
253			either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
254			Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
255			this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
256			Foundation.
257
258			10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
259			programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
260			to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
261			Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
262			make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
263			of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
264			of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
265
266			NO WARRANTY
267
268			11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
269			FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
270			OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
271			PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
272			OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
273			MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
274			TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
275			PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
276			REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
277
278			12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
279			WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
280			REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
281			INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
282			OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
283			TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
284			YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
285			PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
286			POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
287
288			END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
289
290			How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
291
292			If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
293			possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
294			free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
295
296			To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
297			to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
298			convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
299			the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
300
301			<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
302			Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
303
304			This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
305			it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
306			the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
307			(at your option) any later version.
308
309			This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
310			but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
311			MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
312			GNU General Public License for more details.
313
314			You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
315			along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
316	niro	984	Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
317	niro	532
318
319			Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
320
321			If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
322			when it starts in an interactive mode:
323
324			Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
325			Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
326			This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
327			under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
328
329			The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
330			parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
331			be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
332			mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
333
334			You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
335			school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
336			necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
337
338			Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
339			`Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
340
341			<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
342			Ty Coon, President of Vice
343
344			This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
345			proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
346			consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
347			library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
348			Public License instead of this License.
