                           Preamble                 
                
 The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for                 
software and other kinds of works.                 
                
 The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed                 
to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,                 
the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to                 
share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free                 
software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the                 
GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to                 
any other work released this way by its authors.  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                 
them 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 prevent others from denying you                 
these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have                 
certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if                 
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.                 
                
 For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether                 
gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same                 
freedoms that you received.  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.                 
                
 Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:                 
(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License                 
giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.                 
                
 For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains                 
that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and                 
authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as                 
changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to                 
authors of previous versions.                 
                
 Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run                 
modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer                 
can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of                 
protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic                 
pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to                 
use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
