This is the file that contains the terms of use, copying, etc. for the mpg123 distribution package.

Main message:

	Code is copyrighted by Michael Hipp, who made it free software under the terms of the LGPL 2.1.
6
 
7
But that is not all of it.
8
mpg123 is licensed under the GNU General Lesser Public License, version 2.1, and in parts under the GNU General Public License, version 2.
9
That means that _all_ of mpg123 is licensed under GPL and the major part also under the LGPL.
10
 
11
Actually, the "major part" currently is the whole distributed package of mpg123. There are some files (old alsa output, libao output) that you get from our svn repository and that do not fall under LGPL.
12
 
13
When the copyright marker in a source file says "the mpg123 project" that means that the file contains code copyrighted by contributors to mpg123, the "initially written by" naming the person(s) that created the file and thus may have the largest part of copyrights on it.
14
I am explaining this here to emphasize that the copyright always actually lies by the individual member (i.e. contributor to) of the mpg123 project who wrote a specific section of code.
15
Usage of a source code management system like Subversion should provide keeping track of individual copyright traces...
16
 
17
Please consider that any code that is contributed to the mpg123 project shall be licensed under LGPL 2.1 .
18
If you want to contribute, but don't agree to that (i.e. you want to have your code GPL only) please say so - then, we either you convince is to include your code under GPL, we convince you to make it LGPL instead or, as a last resort, you'll have to do you own GPLed fork.
19
But we should try to avoid the last option...
20
 
21
All files in the distribution that don't carry a license note on their own are licensed under the terms of the LGPL 2.1; all files that do carry either a LGPL or GPL note are licensed respectively under the LGPL or GPL as follows:

  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
30
       Version 2.1, February 1999
31
 
32
 Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
33
 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
34
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
35
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
36
 
37
[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL.  It also counts
38
 as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence
39
 the version number 2.1.]
40
 
41
    Preamble
42
 
43
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
44
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
45
Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change
46
free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.
47
 
48
  This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some
49
specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the
50
Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it.  You
51
can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether
52
this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better
53
strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.
54
 
55
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use,
56
not price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that
57
you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge
58
for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get
59
it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of
60
it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do
61
these things.
62
 
63
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
64
distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these
65
rights.  These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
66
you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.
67
 
68
  For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis
69
or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave
70
you.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source
71
code.  If you link other code with the library, you must provide
72
complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them
73
with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling
74
it.  And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
75
 
76
  We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the
77
library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal
78
permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.
79
 
80
  To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that
81
there is no warranty for the free library.  Also, if the library is
82
modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know
83
that what they have is not the original version, so that the original
84
author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be
85
introduced by others.
86
 
87
  Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of
88
any free program.  We wish to make sure that a company cannot
89
effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a
90
restrictive license from a patent holder.  Therefore, we insist that
91
any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be
92
consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.
93
 
94
  Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the
95
ordinary GNU General Public License.  This license, the GNU Lesser
96
General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and
97
is quite different from the ordinary General Public License.  We use
98
this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those
99
libraries into non-free programs.
100
 
101
  When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using
102
a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a
103
combined work, a derivative of the original library.  The ordinary
104
General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the
105
entire combination fits its criteria of freedom.  The Lesser General
106
Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with
107
the library.
108
 
109
  We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it
110
does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General
111
Public License.  It also provides other free software developers Less
112
of an advantage over competing non-free programs.  These disadvantages
113
are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many
114
libraries.  However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain
115
special circumstances.
116
 
117
  For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to
118
encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes
119
a de-facto standard.  To achieve this, non-free programs must be
120
allowed to use the library.  A more frequent case is that a free
121
library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries.  In this
122
case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free
123
software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.
124
 
125
  In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free
126
programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of
127
free software.  For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in
128
non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU
129
operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating
130
system.
131
 
132
  Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the
133
users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is
134
linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run
135
that program using a modified version of the Library.
136
 
137
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
138
modification follow.  Pay close attention to the difference between a
139
"work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library".  The
140
former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must
141
be combined with the library in order to run.
142
 
143
  GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
144
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
145
 
146
  0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other
147
program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or
148
other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of
149
this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License").
150
Each licensee is addressed as "you".
151
 
152
  A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data
153
prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs
154
(which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.
155
 
156
  The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work
157
which has been distributed under these terms.  A "work based on the
158
Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under
159
copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a
160
portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated
161
straightforwardly into another language.  (Hereinafter, translation is
162
included without limitation in the term "modification".)
163
 
164
  "Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for
165
making modifications to it.  For a library, complete source code means
166
all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated
167
interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation
168
and installation of the library.
169
 
170
  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
171
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
172
running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from
173
such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based
174
on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for
175
writing it).  Whether that is true depends on what the Library does
176
and what the program that uses the Library does.
177
 
178
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's
179
complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
180
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an
181
appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact
182
all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
183
warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the
184
Library.
185
 
186
  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
187
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a
188
fee.
189
 
190
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion
191
of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and
192
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
193
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
194
 
195
    a) The modified work must itself be a software library.
196
 
197
    b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices
198
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
199
 
200
    c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no
201
    charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
202
 
203
    d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a
204
    table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses
205
    the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility
206
    is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that,
207
    in the event an application does not supply such function or
208
    table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of
209
    its purpose remains meaningful.
210
 
211
    (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has
212
    a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the
213
    application.  Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any
214
    application-supplied function or table used by this function must
215
    be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square
216
    root function must still compute square roots.)
217
 
218
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
219
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library,
220
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
221
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
222
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
223
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
224
on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
225
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
226
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
227
it.
228
 
229
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
230
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
231
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
232
collective works based on the Library.
233
 
234
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library
235
with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of
236
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
237
the scope of this License.
238
 
239
  3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public
240
License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library.  To do
241
this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so
242
that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2,
243
instead of to this License.  (If a newer version than version 2 of the
244
ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify
245
that version instead if you wish.)  Do not make any other change in
246
these notices.
247
 
248
  Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for
249
that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all
250
subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.
251
 
252
  This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of
253
the Library into a program that is not a library.
254
 
255
  4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or
256
derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form
257
under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany
258
it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which
259
must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
260
medium customarily used for software interchange.
261
 
262
  If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy
263
from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the
264
source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to
265
distribute the source code, even though third parties are not
266
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
267
 
268
  5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the
269
Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or
270
linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library".  Such a
271
work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and
272
therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
273
 
274
  However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library
275
creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it
276
contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the
277
library".  The executable is therefore covered by this License.
278
Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.
279
 
280
  When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file
281
that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a
282
derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not.
283
Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be
284
linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library.  The
285
threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.
286
 
287
  If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data
288
structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline
289
functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object
290
file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative
291
work.  (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the
292
Library will still fall under Section 6.)
293
 
294
  Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may
295
distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6.
296
Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6,
297
whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
298
 
299
  6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or
300
link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a
301
work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work
302
under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit
303
modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse
304
engineering for debugging such modifications.
305
 
306
  You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the
307
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by
308
this License.  You must supply a copy of this License.  If the work
309
during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the
310
copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference
311
directing the user to the copy of this License.  Also, you must do one
312
of these things:
313
 
314
    a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding
315
    machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever
316
    changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under
317
    Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked
318
    with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that
319
    uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the
320
    user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified
321
    executable containing the modified Library.  (It is understood
322
    that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the
323
    Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application
324
    to use the modified definitions.)
325
 
326
    b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
327
    Library.  A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a
328
    copy of the library already present on the user's computer system,
329
    rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2)
330
    will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if
331
    the user installs one, as long as the modified version is
332
    interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
333
 
334
    c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at
335
    least three years, to give the same user the materials
336
    specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more
337
    than the cost of performing this distribution.
338
 
339
    d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy
340
    from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above
341
    specified materials from the same place.
342
 
343
    e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these
344
    materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
345
 
346
  For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the
347
Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for
348
reproducing the executable from it.  However, as a special exception,
349
the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is
350
normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major
351
components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on
352
which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
353
the executable.
354
 
355
  It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license
356
restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally
357
accompany the operating system.  Such a contradiction means you cannot
358
use both them and the Library together in an executable that you
359
distribute.
360
 
361
  7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
362
Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library
363
facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined
364
library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on
365
the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise
366
permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
367
 
368
    a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work
369
    based on the Library, uncombined with any other library
370
    facilities.  This must be distributed under the terms of the
371
    Sections above.
372
 
373
    b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact
374
    that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining
375
    where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
376
 
377
  8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute
378
the Library except as expressly provided under this License.  Any
379
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or
380
distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your
381
rights under this License.  However, parties who have received copies,
382
or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses
383
terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
384
 
385
  9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
386
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
387
distribute the Library or its derivative works.  These actions are
388
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
389
modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the
390
Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
391
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
392
the Library or works based on it.
393
 
394
  10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the
395
Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
396
original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library
397
subject to these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
398
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
399
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with
400
this License.
401
 
402
  11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
403
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
404
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
405
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
406
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
407
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
408
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
409
may not distribute the Library at all.  For example, if a patent
410
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by
411
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
412
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
413
refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.
414
 
415
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any
416
particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply,
417
and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
418
 
419
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
420
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
421
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
422
integrity of the free software distribution system which is
423
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
424
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
425
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
426
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
427
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
428
impose that choice.
429
 
430
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
431
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
432
 
433
  12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in
434
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
435
original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add
436
an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries,
437
so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus
438
excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if
439
written in the body of this License.
440
 
441
  13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
442
versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time.
443
Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version,
444
but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
445
 
446
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Library
447
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and
448
"any later version", you have the option of following the terms and
449
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by
450
the Free Software Foundation.  If the Library does not specify a
451
license version number, you may choose any version ever published by
452
the Free Software Foundation.
453
 
454
  14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free
455
programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these,
456
write to the author to ask for permission.  For software which is
457
copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free
458
Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this.  Our
459
decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status
460
of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
461
and reuse of software generally.
462
 
463
    NO WARRANTY
464
 
465
  15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
466
WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
467
EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
468
OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
469
KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
470
IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
471
PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
472
LIBRARY IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
473
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
474
 
475
  16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
476
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY
477
AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU
478
FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
479
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE
480
LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
481
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
482
FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF
483
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
484
DAMAGES.

====================
492
 
493
 
494
   GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
495
       Version 2, June 1991
496
 
497
 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
498
 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
499
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
500
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
501
 
502
    Preamble
503
 
504
  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
505
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
506
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
507
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
508
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
509
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
510
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
511
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
512
your programs, too.
513
 
514
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
515
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
516
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
517
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
518
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
519
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
520
 
521
  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
522
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
523
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
524
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
525
 
526
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
527
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
528
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
529
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
530
rights.
531
 
532
  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
533
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
534
distribute and/or modify the software.
535
 
536
  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
537
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
538
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
539
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
540
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
541
authors' reputations.
542
 
543
  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
544
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
545
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
546
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
547
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
548
 
549
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
550
modification follow.
551
 
552
    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
553
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
554
 
555
  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
556
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
557
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
558
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
559
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
560
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
561
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
562
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
563
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
564
 
565
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
566
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
567
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
568
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
569
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
570
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
571
 
572
  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
573
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
574
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
575
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
576
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
577
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
578
along with the Program.
579
 
580
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
581
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
582
 
583
  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
584
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
585
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
586
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
587
 
588
    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
589
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
590
 
591
    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
592
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
593
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
594
    parties under the terms of this License.
595
 
596
    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
597
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
598
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
599
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
600
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
601
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
602
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
603
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
604
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
605
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
606
 
607
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
608
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
609
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
610
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
611
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
612
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
613
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
614
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
615
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
616
 
617
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
618
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
619
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
620
collective works based on the Program.
621
 
622
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
623
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
624
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
625
the scope of this License.
626
 
627
  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
628
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
629
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
630
 
631
    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
632
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
633
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
634
 
635
    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
636
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
637
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
638
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
639
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
640
    customarily used for software interchange; or,
641
 
642
    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
643
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
644
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
645
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
646
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
647
 
648
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
649
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
650
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
651
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
652
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
653
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
654
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
655
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
656
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
657
itself accompanies the executable.
658
 
659
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
660
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
661
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
662
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
663
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
664
 
665
  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
666
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
667
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
668
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
669
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
670
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
671
parties remain in full compliance.
672
 
673
  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
674
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
675
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
676
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
677
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
678
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
679
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
680
the Program or works based on it.
681
 
682
  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
683
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
684
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
685
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
686
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
687
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
688
this License.
689
 
690
  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
691
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
692
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
693
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
694
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
695
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
696
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
697
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
698
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
699
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
700
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
701
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
702
 
703
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
704
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
705
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
706
circumstances.
707
 
708
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
709
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
710
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
711
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
712
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
713
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
714
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
715
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
716
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
717
impose that choice.
718
 
719
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
720
be a consequence of the rest of this License.
721
 
722
  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
723
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
724
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
725
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
726
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
727
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
728
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
729
 
730
  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
731
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
732
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
733
address new problems or concerns.
734
 
735
Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
736
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
737
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
738
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
739
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
740
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
741
Foundation.
742
 
743
  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
744
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
745
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
746
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
747
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
748
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
749
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
750
 
751
    NO WARRANTY
752
 
753
  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
754
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
755
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
756
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
757
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
758
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
759
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
760
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
761
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
762
 
763
  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
764
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
765
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
766
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
767
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
768
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
769
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
770
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
771
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
772
 
773
     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
