27+
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
28+
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
29+
30+
Preamble
31+
32+
The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
33+
at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public
34+
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
35+
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The
36+
General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
37+
software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
38+
You can use it for your programs, too.
39+
40+
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
41+
price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
42+
sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
43+
software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
44+
that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
45+
programs; and that you know you can do these things.
46+
47+
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
48+
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
49+
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
50+
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
51+
52+
For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
53+
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
54+
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
55+
source code. And you must tell them their rights.
56+
57+
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
58+
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
59+
distribute and/or modify the software.
60+
61+
Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
62+
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
63+
software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
64+
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
65+
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
66+
authors' reputations.
67+
68+
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
69+
modification follow.
70+
71+
GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
72+
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
73+
74+
0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
75+
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
76+
distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
77+
"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
78+
on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
79+
Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each
80+
licensee is addressed as "you".
81+
82+
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
83+
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
84+
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
85+
disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
86+
General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
87+
other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
88+
along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
89+
transferring a copy.
90+
91+
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
92+
it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
93+
1 above, provided that you also do the following:
94+
95+
a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
96+
you changed the files and the date of any change; and
97+
98+
b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
99+
in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
100+
with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
101+
third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
102+
that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
103+
third parties, at your option).
104+
105+
c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
106+
run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
107+
in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
108+
announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
109+
that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
110+
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
111+
conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
112+
Public License.
113+
114+
d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
115+
copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
116+
exchange for a fee.
117+
118+
Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
119+
derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
120+
the other work under the scope of these terms.
121+
122+
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
123+
it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
124+
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
125+
126+
a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
127+
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
128+
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
129+
130+
b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
131+
years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
132+
for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
133+
corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
134+
Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
135+
136+
c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
137+
corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
138+
allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
139+
received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
140+
141+
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
142+
modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means
143+
all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
144+
exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
145+
libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
146+
file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
147+
accompany that operating system.
148+
149+
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
150+
Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
151+
Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
152+
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
153+
the Program under this License. However, parties who have received
154+
copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
155+
License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
156+
remain in full compliance.
157+
158+
5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
159+
on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
160+
and all its terms and conditions.
161+
162+
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
163+
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
164+
licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
165+
terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
166+
recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
167+
168+
7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
169+
of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
170+
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
171+
address new problems or concerns.
172+
173+
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
174+
specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
175+
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
176+
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
177+
Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
178+
the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
179+
Foundation.
180+
181+
8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
182+
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
183+
to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
184+
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
185+
make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
186+
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
187+
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
188+
189+
NO WARRANTY
190+
191+
9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
192+
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
193+
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
194+
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
195+
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
196+
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
197+
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
198+
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
199+
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
200+
201+
10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
202+
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
203+
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
204+
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
205+
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
206+
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
207+
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
208+
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
209+
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
210+
211+
END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
212+
213+
Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
214+
215+
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
216+
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
217+
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
218+
terms.
219+
220+
To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
221+
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
222+
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
223+
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
224+
225+
<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
226+
Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author>
227+
228+
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
229+
it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
230+
the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
231+
any later version.
232+
233+
This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
234+
but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
235+
MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
236+
GNU General Public License for more details.
237+
238+
You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
239+
along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
240+
Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston MA 02110-1301 USA
241+
242+
243+
Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
244+
245+
If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
246+
when it starts in an interactive mode:
247+
248+
Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
249+
Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
250+
This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
251+
under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
252+
253+
The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
254+
appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
255+
commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
256+
c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
257+
program.
258+
259+
You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
260+
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
261+
necessary. Here a sample; alter the names:
262+
263+
Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
264+
program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
265+
at assemblers) written by James Hacker.
266+
267+
<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989

Ty Coon, President of Vice
269+
270+
That's all there is to it!

--- The Artistic License 1.0 ---
274+
275+
This software is Copyright (c) 2010 by Olaf Alders.
276+
277+
This is free software, licensed under:
278+
279+
The Artistic License 1.0
280+
281+
The Artistic License
282+
283+
Preamble
284+
285+
The intent of this document is to state the conditions under which a Package
286+
may be copied, such that the Copyright Holder maintains some semblance of
287+
artistic control over the development of the package, while giving the users of
288+
the package the right to use and distribute the Package in a more-or-less
289+
customary fashion, plus the right to make reasonable modifications.
290+
291+
Definitions:
292+
293+
- "Package" refers to the collection of files distributed by the Copyright
294+
Holder, and derivatives of that collection of files created through
295+
textual modification.
296+
- "Standard Version" refers to such a Package if it has not been modified,
297+
or has been modified in accordance with the wishes of the Copyright
298+
Holder.
299+
- "Copyright Holder" is whoever is named in the copyright or copyrights for
300+
the package.
301+
- "You" is you, if you're thinking about copying or distributing this Package.
302+
- "Reasonable copying fee" is whatever you can justify on the basis of media
303+
cost, duplication charges, time of people involved, and so on. (You will
304+
not be required to justify it to the Copyright Holder, but only to the
305+
computing community at large as a market that must bear the fee.)
306+
- "Freely Available" means that no fee is charged for the item itself, though
307+
there may be fees involved in handling the item. It also means that
308+
recipients of the item may redistribute it under the same conditions they
309+
received it.
310+
311+
1. You may make and give away verbatim copies of the source form of the
312+
Standard Version of this Package without restriction, provided that you
313+
duplicate all of the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.
314+
315+
2. You may apply bug fixes, portability fixes and other modifications derived
316+
from the Public Domain or from the Copyright Holder. A Package modified in such
317+
a way shall still be considered the Standard Version.
318+
319+
3. You may otherwise modify your copy of this Package in any way, provided that
320+
you insert a prominent notice in each changed file stating how and when you
321+
changed that file, and provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
322+
323+
a) place your modifications in the Public Domain or otherwise make them
324+
Freely Available, such as by posting said modifications to Usenet or an
325+
equivalent medium, or placing the modifications on a major archive site
326+
such as ftp.uu.net, or by allowing the Copyright Holder to include your
327+
modifications in the Standard Version of the Package.
328+
329+
b) use the modified Package only within your corporation or organization.
330+
331+
c) rename any non-standard executables so the names do not conflict with
332+
standard executables, which must also be provided, and provide a separate
333+
manual page for each non-standard executable that clearly documents how it
334+
differs from the Standard Version.
335+
336+
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
337+
338+
4. You may distribute the programs of this Package in object code or executable
339+
form, provided that you do at least ONE of the following:
340+
341+
a) distribute a Standard Version of the executables and library files,
342+
together with instructions (in the manual page or equivalent) on where to
343+
get the Standard Version.
344+
345+
b) accompany the distribution with the machine-readable source of the Package
346+
with your modifications.
347+
348+
c) accompany any non-standard executables with their corresponding Standard
349+
Version executables, giving the non-standard executables non-standard
350+
names, and clearly documenting the differences in manual pages (or
351+
equivalent), together with instructions on where to get the Standard
352+
Version.
353+
354+
d) make other distribution arrangements with the Copyright Holder.
355+
356+
5. You may charge a reasonable copying fee for any distribution of this
357+
Package. You may charge any fee you choose for support of this Package. You
358+
may not charge a fee for this Package itself. However, you may distribute this
359+
Package in aggregate with other (possibly commercial) programs as part of a
360+
larger (possibly commercial) software distribution provided that you do not
361+
advertise this Package as a product of your own.
362+
363+
6. The scripts and library files supplied as input to or produced as output
364+
from the programs of this Package do not automatically fall under the copyright
365+
of this Package, but belong to whomever generated them, and may be sold
366+
commercially, and may be aggregated with this Package.
367+
368+
7. C or perl subroutines supplied by you and linked into this Package shall not
369+
be considered part of this Package.
370+
371+
8. The name of the Copyright Holder may not be used to endorse or promote
372+
products derived from this software without specific prior written permission.
373+
374+
9. THIS PACKAGE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED
375+
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
376+
MERCHANTIBILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
377+
378+
The End
