OPEN SOURCE LICENSE

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991
Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software 
Foundation, Inc.
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-
1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute 
verbatim copies of this license document, but 
changing it is not allowed.

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, 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.

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.
