How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible
use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under
these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to
most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where
the full notice is found. one line to give the program's name and an idea of what it does. Copyright (C) yyyy name of author This
program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as
published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This program is
distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of

should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA. Also add information on how to contact you by
electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive
mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for
details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for
details. The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of
course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or
menu items--whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if
any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby
disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking
proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of
this License.

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
