> -  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software

> -
> -                   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.
