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 Lesser 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,
