void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have rece ived copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses ter minated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not re quired 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. Th ese actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program ( o r any work based on the
Program), you indicate y our acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditio ns for copying, distr ibuting or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistr ibute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to co py, distribute or modify the Program subjec t to
these terms and co nditions. You may not impose a ny further
restrictio ns on the recip ients' exercise of the right s granted
herein.You are no t responsible for enforcing complianc e 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 yo u from the cond itions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligatio ns 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-fre e redistribution of th e Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you cou ld satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entire ly from distributi on 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 oth er property right claim s or to contest v alidity of any such
claims; this sectio n has the sole purpose of protect ing the integrity of
the free software distribution system, which is implemented by pu blic
license prac tices. Many pe ople have made ge nerous contri butions to
the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent ap plication of that sy stem; it is up to th e author/donor
to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any
other system a nd a licensee cannot impose t hat choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is beli eved to
be a consequence of the rest of this L icense.
8. If the distrib ution and/or use of the Pr ogram is restricted in certa in
countries either by patents or by copyrighte d interfaces, the original
copyright holder who places the Program under t his License may add
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those
countries, so that distributio n is permitted only in or amo ng countries
not thus excluded. In such ca se, this License inco rporates the
limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Sof tware Foundation may publish revised and/o r new
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spiri t to the present version, but may differ
in detail to address new probl ems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing v ersion number. If the Program
specifies a ver sion number of t his License wh ich applies to it and "any
later versio n", you have the optio n of following the term s and
conditions either of that vers ion or of any later version published by
the Free Soft ware Foundatio n. If the Pr ogram does not specify a
version nu mber of thi s License, you may choose any version e ver
published by the Free Software Foun dat ion.
10. If you wish to incorporate par ts of the Program into othe r free
programs whose distribu tion conditions are diffe rent, write to the
author to ask for permission . For software wh ich is copyrigh ted by the
Free Softwa re Foundati on, write to the Free Software F oundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by
the two goals of preservin g the free status of all derivatives of our fr ee
software and of promoting the sh aring and reuse of software
generally.
NO WARRAN TY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICEN SED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE
IS NO WARRANTY F OR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EX TENT PERMITTED
BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN
WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AN D/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 MERCHANTAB ILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WI TH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASS UME
THE COST OF AL L NECESSARY SERVICING, R EPAIR OR
CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
AGREED TO IN WRITIN G WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY
OTHER PARTY WHO MAY M ODIFY AND/OR REDIS TRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMI TTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE T O YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENE RAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCL UDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR
LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A F AILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN
IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUC H DAMAGES.

How to Apply These Terms to Yo ur New Progra ms
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best wa y to achieve this is to make it free
software which everyo ne can redistribute and change un der these terms
To do so, attach the f ollowing notices to the program. It is safest to att ach
them to the start of each source file to most ef fectively 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 distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but

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:

type `show w'.

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; al ter the names:

This General Public L icense do es not permit i ncorporating your program

may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications
with the library. If this is what y ou want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
