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
