1: <p>LON-CAPA is licensed under the Gnu Public License. The Gnu Public
2: License follows:</p>
3:
4: <pre>
5: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
6: Version 2, June 1991
7:
8: Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
9: 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
10: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
11: of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
12:
13: Preamble
14:
15: The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
16: freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
17: License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
18: software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
19: General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
20: Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
21: using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
22: the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
23: your programs, too.
24:
25: When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
26: price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
27: have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
28: this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
29: if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
30: in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
31:
32: To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
33: anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
34: These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
35: distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
36:
37: For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
38: gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
39: you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
40: source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
41: rights.
42:
43: We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
44: (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
45: distribute and/or modify the software.
46:
47: Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
48: that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
49: software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
50: want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
51: that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
52: authors' reputations.
53:
54: Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
55: patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
56: program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
57: program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
58: patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
59:
60: The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
61: modification follow.
62:
63: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
64: TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
65:
66: 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
67: a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
68: under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
69: refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
70: means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
71: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
72: either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
73: language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
74: the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
75:
76: Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
77: covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
78: running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
79: is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
80: Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
81: Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
82:
83: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
84: source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
85: conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
86: copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
87: notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
88: and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
89: along with the Program.
90:
91: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
92: you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
93:
94: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
95: of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
96: distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
97: above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
98:
99: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
100: stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
101:
102: b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
103: whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
104: part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
105: parties under the terms of this License.
106:
107: c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
108: when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
109: interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
110: announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
111: notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
112: a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
113: these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
114: License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
115: does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
116: the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
117:
118: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
119: identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
120: and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
121: themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
122: sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
123: distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
124: on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
125: this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
126: entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
127:
128: Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
129: your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
130: exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
131: collective works based on the Program.
132:
133: In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
134: with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
135: a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
136: the scope of this License.
137:
138: 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
139: under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
140: Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
141:
142: a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
143: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
144: 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
145:
146: b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
147: years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
148: cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
149: machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
150: distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
151: customarily used for software interchange; or,
152:
153: c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
154: to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
155: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
156: received the program in object code or executable form with such
157: an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
158:
159: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
160: making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
161: code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
162: associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
163: control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
164: special exception, the source code distributed need not include
165: anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
166: form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
167: operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
168: itself accompanies the executable.
169:
170: If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
171: access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
172: access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
173: distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
174: compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
175:
176: 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
177: except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
178: otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
179: void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
180: However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
181: this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
182: parties remain in full compliance.
183:
184: 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
185: signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
186: distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
187: prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
188: modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
189: Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
190: all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
191: the Program or works based on it.
192:
193: 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
194: Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
195: original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
196: these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
197: restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
198: You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
199: this License.
200:
201: 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
202: infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
203: conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
204: otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
205: excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
206: distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
207: License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
208: may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
209: license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
210: all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
211: the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
212: refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
213:
214: If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
215: any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
216: apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
217: circumstances.
218:
219: It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
220: patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
221: such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
222: integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
223: implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
224: generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
225: through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
226: system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
227: to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
228: impose that choice.
229:
230: This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
231: be a consequence of the rest of this License.
232:
233: 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
234: certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
235: original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
236: may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
237: those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
238: countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
239: the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
240:
241: 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
242: of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
243: be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
244: address new problems or concerns.
245:
246: Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
247: specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
248: later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
249: either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
250: Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
251: this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
252: Foundation.
253:
254: 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
255: programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
256: to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
257: Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
258: make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
259: of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
260: of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
261:
262: NO WARRANTY
263:
264: 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
265: FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
266: OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
267: PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
268: OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
269: MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
270: TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
271: PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
272: REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
273:
274: 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
275: WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
276: REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
277: INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
278: OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
279: TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
280: YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
281: PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
282: POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
283:
284: END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
285:
286: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
287:
288: If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
289: possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
290: free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
291:
292: To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
293: to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
294: convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
295: the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
296:
297: <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
298: Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
299:
300: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
301: it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
302: the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
303: (at your option) any later version.
304:
305: This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
306: but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
307: MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
308: GNU General Public License for more details.
309:
310: You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
311: along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
312: Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA
313:
314:
315: Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
316:
317: If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
318: when it starts in an interactive mode:
319:
320: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
321: Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
322: This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
323: under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
324:
325: The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
326: parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may
327: be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
328: mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.
329:
330: You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
331: school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
332: necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
333:
334: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
335: `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.
336:
337: <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989
338: Ty Coon, President of Vice
339:
340: This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
341: proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may
342: consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
343: library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General
344: Public License instead of this License.
