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 Library 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,
