THE HARBOUR PROJECT CONTRIB LICENSE
===================================
There is no one single license that applies to the Harbour Project
contrib files. Some files use the Harbour Project Compiler license.
Some files use the Harbour Project Library license. Some files use
the old Harbour Project Library license. Some files may even use other
types of free software or open source software licenses. Some files
have been donated to the public domain. If you use any of the contrib
files, you need to investigate the license that applies to each file.

ATTORNEY-CLIENT RELATIONSHIP. CREATIVE COMMONS PROVIDES THIS
INFORMATION ON AN "AS-IS" BASIS. CREATIVE COMMONS MAKES NO WARRANTIES
REGARDING THE INFORMATION PROVIDED, AND DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR

License:
THE WORK (AS DEFINED BELOW) IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
CREATIVE COMMONS PUBLIC LICENSE ("CCPL" OR "LICENSE"). THE WORK IS
PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT AND/OR OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. ANY USE OF THE
WORK OTHER THAN AS AUTHORIZED UNDER THIS LICENSE OR COPYRIGHT LAW IS
PROHIBITED.
BY EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS TO THE WORK PROVIDED HERE, YOU ACCEPT AND
AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. TO THE EXTENT THIS
LICENSE MAY BE CONSIDERED TO BE A CONTRACT, THE LICENSOR GRANTS YOU
THE RIGHTS CONTAINED HERE IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH
TERMS AND CONDITIONS.
1. Definitions
a. "Adaptation" means a work based upon the Work, or upon the Work
and other pre-existing works, such as a translation, adaptation,
derivative work, arrangement of music or other alterations of a
literary or artistic work, or phonogram or performance and
includes cinematographic adaptations or any other form in which
the Work may be recast, transformed, or adapted including in any
form recognizably derived from the original, except that a work
that constitutes a Collection will not be considered an
Adaptation for the purpose of this License. For the avoidance of
doubt, where the Work is a musical work, performance or
phonogram, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation
with a moving image ("synching") will be considered an
Adaptation for the purpose of this License.
b. "Collection" means a collection of literary or artistic works,
such as encyclopedias and anthologies, or performances,
phonograms or broadcasts, or other works or subject matter other
than works listed in Section 1(f) below, which, by reason of the
selection and arrangement of their contents, constitute
intellectual creations, in which the Work is included in its
entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other
contributions, each constituting separate and independent works
in themselves, which together are assembled into a collective
whole. A work that constitutes a Collection will not be
considered an Adaptation (as defined below) for the purposes of
this License.
c. "Creative Commons Compatible License" means a license that is
listed at http://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses that has
been approved by Creative Commons as being essentially
equivalent to this License, including, at a minimum, because
that license: (i) contains terms that have the same purpose,
meaning and effect as the License Elements of this License; and,
(ii) explicitly permits the relicensing of adaptations of works
made available under that license under this License or a
Creative Commons jurisdiction license with the same License
Elements as this License.
d. "Distribute" means to make available to the public the original
and copies of the Work or Adaptation, as appropriate, through
sale or other transfer of ownership.
e. "License Elements" means the following high-level license
attributes as selected by Licensor and indicated in the title of
this License: Attribution, ShareAlike.
f. "Licensor" means the individual, individuals, entity or entities
that offer(s) the Work under the terms of this License.
g. "Original Author" means, in the case of a literary or artistic
work, the individual, individuals, entity or entities who
created the Work or if no individual or entity can be
identified, the publisher; and in addition (i) in the case of a
performance the actors, singers, musicians, dancers, and other
persons who act, sing, deliver, declaim, play in, interpret or
otherwise perform literary or artistic works or expressions of
folklore; (ii) in the case of a phonogram the producer being the
person or legal entity who first fixes the sounds of a
performance or other sounds; and, (iii) in the case of
broadcasts, the organization that transmits the broadcast.
h. "Work" means the literary and/or artistic work offered under the
terms of this License including without limitation any
production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain,
whatever may be the mode or form of its expression including
digital form, such as a book, pamphlet and other writing; a
lecture, address, sermon or other work of the same nature; a
dramatic or dramatico-musical work; a choreographic work or
entertainment in dumb show; a musical composition with or
without words; a cinematographic work to which are assimilated
works expressed by a process analogous to cinematography; a work
of drawing, painting, architecture, sculpture, engraving or
lithography; a photographic work to which are assimilated works
expressed by a process analogous to photography; a work of
applied art; an illustration, map, plan, sketch or
three-dimensional work relative to geography, topography,
architecture or science; a performance; a broadcast; a
phonogram; a compilation of data to the extent it is protected
as a copyrightable work; or a work performed by a variety or
circus performer to the extent it is not otherwise considered a
literary or artistic work.
i. "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this
License who has not previously violated the terms of this
License with respect to the Work, or who has received express
permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this
License despite a previous violation.
j. "Publicly Perform" means to perform public recitations of the
Work and to communicate to the public those public recitations,
by any means or process, including by wire or wireless means or
public digital performances; to make available to the public
Works in such a way that members of the public may access these
Works from a place and at a place individually chosen by them;
to perform the Work to the public by any means or process and
the communication to the public of the performances of the Work,
including by public digital performance; to broadcast and
rebroadcast the Work by any means including signs, sounds or
images.
k. "Reproduce" means to make copies of the Work by any means
including without limitation by sound or visual recordings and
the right of fixation and reproducing fixations of the Work,
including storage of a protected performance or phonogram in
digital form or other electronic medium.
2. Fair Dealing Rights.
Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict
any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or
exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright
protection under copyright law or other applicable laws.
3. License Grant.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, Licensor
hereby grants You a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive,
perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright) license to
exercise the rights in the Work as stated below:
a. to Reproduce the Work, to incorporate the Work into one or more
Collections, and to Reproduce the Work as incorporated in the
Collections;
b. to create and Reproduce Adaptations provided that any such
Adaptation, including any translation in any medium, takes
reasonable steps to clearly label, demarcate or otherwise
identify that changes were made to the original Work. For
example, a translation could be marked "The original work was
translated from English to Spanish," or a modification could
indicate "The original work has been modified.";
c. to Distribute and Publicly Perform the Work including as
incorporated in Collections; and,
d. to Distribute and Publicly Perform Adaptations.
e. For the avoidance of doubt:
i. Non-waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those
jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties
through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme
cannot be waived, the Licensor reserves the exclusive
right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of
the rights granted under this License;
ii. Waivable Compulsory License Schemes. In those
jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties
through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme can
be waived, the Licensor waives the exclusive right to
collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the
rights granted under this License; and,
iii. Voluntary License Schemes. The Licensor waives the right
to collect royalties, whether individually or, in the
event that the Licensor is a member of a collecting
society that administers voluntary licensing schemes, via
that society, from any exercise by You of the rights
granted under this License.
The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether
now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right
to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise
the rights in other media and formats. Subject to Section 8(f), all
rights not expressly granted by Licensor are hereby reserved.
4. Restrictions.
The license granted in Section 3 above is expressly made subject to
and limited by the following restrictions:
a. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work only under the
terms of this License. You must include a copy of, or the
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) for, this License with every
copy of the Work You Distribute or Publicly Perform. You may not
offer or impose any terms on the Work that restrict the terms of
this License or the ability of the recipient of the Work to
exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of
the License. You may not sublicense the Work. You must keep
intact all notices that refer to this License and to the
disclaimer of warranties with every copy of the Work You
Distribute or Publicly Perform. When You Distribute or Publicly
Perform the Work, You may not impose any effective technological
measures on the Work that restrict the ability of a recipient of
the Work from You to exercise the rights granted to that
recipient under the terms of the License. This Section 4(a)
applies to the Work as incorporated in a Collection, but this
does not require the Collection apart from the Work itself to be
made subject to the terms of this License. If You create a
Collection, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the
extent practicable, remove from the Collection any credit as
required by Section 4(c), as requested. If You create an
Adaptation, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the
extent practicable, remove from the Adaptation any credit as
required by Section 4(c), as requested.
b. You may Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation only under
the terms of: (i) this License; (ii) a later version of this
License with the same License Elements as this License; (iii) a
Creative Commons jurisdiction license (either this or a later
license version) that contains the same License Elements as this
License (e.g., Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 US)); (iv) a Creative
Commons Compatible License. If you license the Adaptation under
one of the licenses mentioned in (iv), you must comply with the
terms of that license. If you license the Adaptation under the
terms of any of the licenses mentioned in (i), (ii) or (iii)
(the "Applicable License"), you must comply with the terms of
the Applicable License generally and the following provisions:
(I) You must include a copy of, or the URI for, the Applicable
License with every copy of each Adaptation You Distribute or
Publicly Perform; (II) You may not offer or impose any terms on
the Adaptation that restrict the terms of the Applicable License
or the ability of the recipient of the Adaptation to exercise
the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the
Applicable License; (III) You must keep intact all notices that
refer to the Applicable License and to the disclaimer of
warranties with every copy of the Work as included in the
Adaptation You Distribute or Publicly Perform; (IV) when You
Distribute or Publicly Perform the Adaptation, You may not
impose any effective technological measures on the Adaptation
that restrict the ability of a recipient of the Adaptation from
You to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the
terms of the Applicable License. This Section 4(b) applies to
the Adaptation as incorporated in a Collection, but this does
not require the Collection apart from the Adaptation itself to
be made subject to the terms of the Applicable License.
c. If You Distribute, or Publicly Perform the Work or any
Adaptations or Collections, You must, unless a request has been
made pursuant to Section 4(a), keep intact all copyright notices
for the Work and provide, reasonable to the medium or means You
are utilizing: (i) the name of the Original Author (or
pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original
Author and/or Licensor designate another party or parties (e.g.,
a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution
("Attribution Parties") in Licensor's copyright notice, terms of
service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or
parties; (ii) the title of the Work if supplied; (iii) to the
extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, that Licensor
specifies to be associated with the Work, unless such URI does
not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for
the Work; and (iv) , consistent with Ssection 3(b), in the case
of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the Work in
the Adaptation (e.g., "French translation of the Work by
Original Author," or "Screenplay based on original Work by
Original Author"). The credit required by this Section 4(c) may
be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that
in the case of a Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such
credit will appear, if a credit for all contributing authors of
the Adaptation or Collection appears, then as part of these
credits and in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for
the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You
may only use the credit required by this Section for the purpose
of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising
Your rights under this License, You may not implicitly or
explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship or
endorsement by the Original Author, Licensor and/or Attribution
Parties, as appropriate, of You or Your use of the Work, without
the separate, express prior written permission of the Original
Author, Licensor and/or Attribution Parties.
d. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Licensor or as may
be otherwise permitted by applicable law, if You Reproduce,
Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work either by itself or as
part of any Adaptations or Collections, You must not distort,
mutilate, modify or take other derogatory action in relation to
the Work which would be prejudicial to the Original Author's
honor or reputation. Licensor agrees that in those jurisdictions
(e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted in
Section 3(b) of this License (the right to make Adaptations)
would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or
other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original Author's
honor and reputation, the Licensor will waive or not assert, as
appropriate, this Section, to the fullest extent permitted by
the applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably
exercise Your right under Section 3(b) of this License (right to
make Adaptations) but not otherwise.
5. Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer
UNLESS OTHERWISE MUTUALLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING,
LICENSOR OFFERS THE WORK AS-IS AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND CONCERNING THE WORK, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF
TITLE, MERCHANTIBILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE,
NONINFRINGEMENT, OR THE ABSENCE OF LATENT OR OTHER DEFECTS, ACCURACY,
OR THE PRESENCE OF ABSENCE OF ERRORS, WHETHER OR NOT
DISCOVERABLE. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED
WARRANTIES, SO SUCH EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
6. Limitation on Liability.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
LICENSOR BE LIABLE TO YOU ON ANY LEGAL THEORY FOR ANY SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT
OF THIS LICENSE OR THE USE OF THE WORK, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. Termination
a. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
automatically upon any breach by You of the terms of this
License. Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations
or Collections from You under this License, however, will not
have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or
entities remain in full compliance with those licenses. Sections
1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 will survive any termination of this
License.
b. Subject to the above terms and conditions, the license granted
here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright
in the Work). Notwithstanding the above, Licensor reserves the
right to release the Work under different license terms or to
stop distributing the Work at any time; provided, however that
any such election will not serve to withdraw this License (or
any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted
under the terms of this License), and this License will continue
in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
8. Miscellaneous
a. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform the Work or a
Collection, the Licensor offers to the recipient a license to
the Work on the same terms and conditions as the license granted
to You under this License.
b. Each time You Distribute or Publicly Perform an Adaptation,
Licensor offers to the recipient a license to the original Work
on the same terms and conditions as the license granted to You
under this License.
c. If any provision of this License is invalid or unenforceable
under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or
enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this License,
and without further action by the parties to this agreement,
such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary
to make such provision valid and enforceable.
d. No term or provision of this License shall be deemed waived and
no breach consented to unless such waiver or consent shall be in
writing and signed by the party to be charged with such waiver
or consent.
e. This License constitutes the entire agreement between the
parties with respect to the Work licensed here. There are no
understandings, agreements or representations with respect to
the Work not specified here. Licensor shall not be bound by any
additional provisions that may appear in any communication from
You. This License may not be modified without the mutual written
agreement of the Licensor and You.
f. The rights granted under, and the subject matter referenced, in
this License were drafted utilizing the terminology of the Berne
Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (as
amended on September 28, 1979), the Rome Convention of 1961, the
WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, the WIPO Performances and
Phonograms Treaty of 1996 and the Universal Copyright Convention
(as revised on July 24, 1971). These rights and subject matter
take effect in the relevant jurisdiction in which the License
terms are sought to be enforced according to the corresponding
provisions of the implementation of those treaty provisions in
the applicable national law. If the standard suite of rights
granted under applicable copyright law includes additional
rights not granted under this License, such additional rights
are deemed to be included in the License; this License is not
intended to restrict the license of any rights under applicable
law.
Creative Commons Notice

license. Notwithstanding the foregoing two (2) sentences, if Creative
Commons has expressly identified itself as the Licensor hereunder, it
shall have all rights and obligations of Licensor.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
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 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.
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
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.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with such
an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
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 different, 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.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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 a brief idea of what it does.>
Copyright (C) <year> <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
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
GNU General Public License for more details.
You 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.
