+GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+**************************
+
+ Version 1, February 1989
+
+ Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+========
+
+ The license agreements of most software companies try to keep
+users at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our 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. The General Public License applies to the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit
+to using it. You can use it for your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
+sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
+software, 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 a 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 tell them 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.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.
+
+ TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+ 1. This License Agreement 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 work containing the Program or a portion of it, either
+ verbatim or with modifications. Each licensee is addressed as
+ "you".
+
+ 2. 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 General Public License
+ and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other
+ recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
+ along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical
+ act of transferring a copy.
+
+ 3. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+ of it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the
+ terms of Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the
+ following:
+
+ * cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
+ that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
+
+ * cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
+ that in whole or in part contains the Program or any part
+ thereof, either with or without modifications, to be
+ licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms
+ of this General Public License (except that you may choose
+ to grant warranty protection to some or all third parties,
+ at your option).
+
+ * If the modified program normally reads commands
+ interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
+ running for such interactive use in the simplest and most
+ usual 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
+ General Public License.
+
+ * 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.
+
+ Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program
+ (or its derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution
+ medium does not bring the other work under the scope of these
+ terms.
+
+ 4. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or
+ derivative of it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or
+ executable form under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above
+ provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+ * accompany it with the complete corresponding
+ machine-readable source code, which must be distributed
+ under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+ * accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+ years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
+ charge for the cost of distribution) a complete
+ machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to
+ be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above;
+ or,
+
+ * accompany it with the information you received as to where
+ the corresponding source code may be obtained. (This
+ alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution
+ and only if you received the program in object code or
+ executable form alone.)
+
+ Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work
+ for making modifications to it. For an executable file,
+ complete source code means all the source code for all modules
+ it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
+ source code for modules which are standard libraries that
+ accompany the operating system on which the executable file
+ runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
+ accompany that operating system.
+
+ 5. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
+ Program except as expressly provided under this General Public
+ License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense,
+ distribute or transfer the Program is void, and will
+ automatically terminate your rights to use the Program under
+ this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
+ rights to use copies, from you under this General Public License
+ will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
+ remain in full compliance.
+
+ 6. By copying, distributing or modifying 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.
+
+ 7. 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.
+
+ 8. 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 the 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 the license,
+ you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+ Foundation.
+
+ 9. 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
+
+ 10. 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.
+
+ 11. 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
+
+Appendix: 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 humanity, 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) 19YY 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 1, 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., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, 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) 19YY 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 a sample; alter the names:
+
+ Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
+ program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
+ at assemblers) written by James Hacker.

+Protect Your Freedom--Fight "Look And Feel"
+*******************************************
+
+ This section is a political message from the League for
+ Programming Freedom to the users of GNU CC. It is included here
+ as an expression of support for the League on the part of the
+ Free Software Foundation and Richard Stallman.
+
+ Ashton-Tate, Apple, Lotus and Xerox are trying to create a new
+form of legal monopoly: a copyright on a class of user interfaces.
+These monopolies would cause serious problems for users and
+developers of computer software and systems.
+
+ Until a few years ago, the law seemed clear: no one could restrict
+others from using a user interface; programmers were free to
+implement any interface they chose. Imitating interfaces, sometimes
+with changes, was standard practice in the computer field. The
+interfaces we know evolved gradually in this way; for example, the
+Macintosh user interface drew ideas from the Xerox interface, which
+in turn drew on work done at Stanford and SRI. 1-2-3 imitated
+VisiCalc, and dBase imitated a database program from JPL.
+
+ Most computer companies, and nearly all computer users, were happy
+with this state of affairs. The companies that are suing say it does
+not offer "enough incentive" to develop their products, but they must
+have considered it "enough" when they made their decision to do so.
+It seems they are not satisfied with the opportunity to continue to
+compete in the marketplace--not even with a head start.
+
+ If Xerox, Lotus, Apple and Ashton-Tate are permitted to make law
+through the courts, the precedent will hobble the software industry:
+
+ * Gratuitous incompatibilities will burden users. Imagine if each
+ car manufacturer had to arrange the pedals in a different order.
+
+ * Software will become and remain more expensive. Users will be
+ "locked in" to proprietary interfaces, for which there is no
+ real competition.
+
+ * Large companies have an unfair advantage wherever lawsuits
+ become commonplace. Since they can easily afford to sue, they
+ can intimidate small companies with threats even when they don't
+ really have a case.
+
+ * User interface improvements will come slower, since incremental
+ evolution through creative imitation will no longer be permitted.
+
+ * Even Apple, etc., will find it harder to make improvements if
+ they can no longer adapt the good ideas that others introduce,
+ for fear of weakening their own legal positions. Some users
+ suggest that this stagnation may already have started.
+
+ * If you use GNU software, you might find it of some concern that
+ user interface copyright will make it hard for the Free Software
+ Foundation to develop programs compatible with the interfaces
+ that you already know.
+
+ To protect our freedom from lawsuits like these, a group of
+programmers and users have formed a new grass-roots political
+organization, the League for Programming Freedom.
+
+ The purpose of the League is to oppose new monopolistic practices
+such as user-interface copyright and software patents; it calls for a
+return to the legal policies of the recent past, in which these
+practices were not allowed. The League is not concerned with free
+software as an issue, and not affiliated with the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+ The League's membership rolls include John McCarthy, inventor of
+Lisp, Marvin Minsky, founder of the Artificial Intelligence lab, Guy L.
+Steele, Jr., author of well-known books on Lisp and C, as well as
+Richard Stallman, the developer of GNU CC. Please join and add your
+name to the list. Membership dues in the League are $42 per year for
+programmers, managers and professionals; $10.50 for students; $21 for
+others.
+
+ The League needs both activist members and members who only pay
+their dues.
+
+ To join, or for more information, phone (617) 492-0023 or write to:
+
+ League for Programming Freedom
+ 1 Kendall Square #143
+ P.O. Box 9171
+ Cambridge, MA 02139 league@prep.ai.mit.edu
+
+ Here are some suggestions from the League for how you can protect
+your freedom to write programs:
+
+ * Don't buy from Xerox, Lotus, Apple or Ashton-Tate. Buy from
+ their competitors or from the defendants they are suing.
+
+ * Don't develop software to work with the systems made by these
+ companies.
+
+ * Port your existing software to competing systems, so that you
+ encourage users to switch.
+
+ * Write letters to company presidents to let them know their
+ conduct is unacceptable.
+
+ * Tell your friends and colleagues about this issue and how it
+ threatens to ruin the computer industry.
+
+ * Above all, don't work for the look-and-feel plaintiffs, and
+ don't accept contracts from them.
+
+ * Write to Congress to explain the importance of this issue.
