 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
     59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  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., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307  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
32	this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it

38	These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you

40
41	For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether

46
47	We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
48	(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,

50
51	Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain

66
67	GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
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	Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
317
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.
