Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program

species a version number of this License which applies to it and "any

later version", you have the option of following the terms and condi-

tions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free

Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number

of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free

Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs

whose distribution conditions are dierent, write to the author to ask

for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make

exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of

preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of

promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
