+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 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, 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.
+
+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.,
+    59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 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 Library General Public
+License instead of this License.
