4. Y ou may not copy , modify , sublicense, or distribu te the Program
except as expressly provided under th is License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy , modify , sublicense or distribute the Pr ogram is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However , parties who have r eceived copies, or r ights, fr om you under
this License will no t have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in f ull compliance.
5. Y ou are not requir ed to accept this Licen se, since you have not
signed it. However , nothing else grants you per mission to modify or
distribute t he Program o r its der ivative works. Th ese actions ar e
prohibited by law if you do not accept t his License. Therefor e, by
modifying or distr ibuting the Pr ogram (or any work based on the
Program), you indicat e your acceptance of this License to do so , and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based o n it.
6. Each time you redistr ibute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), t he recipient automatically r eceives a li cense from the
original licensor to copy , distribute or modify the Pr ogram subject to
these terms and conditions. Y ou may not impose any further
restr ictions on t he recipient s’ exercise of the r ights granted here in.
Y ou are not r esponsible for enfor cing compliance by thir d parties to
this License .
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (no t limited to patent issues),
conditions ar e imposed on you (whethe r by court order , agreement or
otherwise) that con tradict the condition s of this License, they do not
excuse you from th e conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy si multaneously your obligation s under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
you may not distribute the Pr ogram at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-fr ee redistr ibution of the Program by
all those who receive copies dir ectly or indirectl y through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrai n entirely f rom distr ibution of the Pr ogram.
If any portion of this section is held i nvalid or unenfor ceable under
any particular cir cumstance, the balan ce of the sec tion is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstance s.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infri nge any
patents or other property righ t claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this sec tion has the sole purpose of protecti ng the
integrity of the fr ee software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many peo ple have made
generous contr ibutions to the wide range of sof tware distr ibuted
through tha t system in reliance on con sistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to
distribute software thr ough any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thor oughly clear wha t is believed to
be a consequence of the re st of this License.
8. If the distr ibution and/o r use of the Program is r estr icted in certain
countries either by patents or by copyrighted int erfaces, the original
copyright holder who places t he Program u nder this License may
add an explicit geographica l distribution limi tation excluding tho se
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countr ies
not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorpora tes the
limitation as if writt en in the body of this License.
9. The Free Sof tware Foundation may publish r evised and/or new
versions of the General Public Licen se from ti me to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the pr esent version, but may differ in
detail to address new pr oblems or concerns.
Each version is give n a distinguishing version number . If the Program
specifies a version number of this Lic ense which applies to it and
“any later version”, you have the opt ion of following the terms and
conditions eith er of that ver sion or of an y later version publi shed by
the Free Soft ware Foundation. If the Pr ogram does not specify a
version number of t his License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Softwar e Foundation.
10 . If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other fr ee
programs whose distr ibution conditions are dif fere nt, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by
the Free Soft ware Foundation, write to the Fr ee Softwar e Foundation;
we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided
by the two goals of preserving the fr ee status of all derivatives of our
free softwar e and of promotin g the sharing and re use of software
generally .
NO W ARRANTY
11 . BECAU SE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE
IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW . EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
ST A TED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
P ARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT W ARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLI ED W ARRANTIES OF
MERCHANT ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A P ARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE O F
THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SH OULD THE PROG RAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSAR Y
SERVICING, REP AIR OR CORRECTION.
12 . IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY
OTHER P ARTY WHO MA Y MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE
PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, B E LIABLE TO YOU FO R
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENT AL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISI NG OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMIT ED
TO LOSS OF DA T A OR DA T A BEING RENDERED INACCURA TE OR
LOSSES SUST AINED BY YOU OR THIRD P ARTIES OR A F AILURE OF
THE PROGRAM TO OPERA TE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER P ARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
How t o Apply These T erm s to Y our New
P rogr ams
If you develop a new program, and yo u want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achie ve this is to make it fr ee
software which everyone can redist ribute and cha nge under these terms.
T o do so, attach the following not ices to the pr ogram. It is safest to att ach
them to the st art of each sour ce file to most effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each fil e should have at least the “copyri ght”
line and a pointer to wher e the full notice is f ound.
<one line to give the program’ s name and a brief idea of what it
does.>

Y ou should have re ceived a copy of the GNU Gener al Public License

Also add information on how to contact you by electr onic and paper mail.
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it
starts in an interact ive mode:
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © year name of author
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTEL Y NO WAR RANTY ; for details
type ‘show w’. This is fr ee software , and you are welco me to
redistr ibute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details.
The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the
appropr iate par ts of the General Publ ic License. Of course, the
commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and
‘show c’; they could e ven be mouse-clicks or menu items—whate ver suits
your program.
Y ou should also get your employer (if you work as a pr ogrammer) or your
school, if any , to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the pr ogram, if
necessary . Here is a sample; alter the names:
