otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program i s
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who ha ve received copies, or rights, from you
under t his License will not have thei r license s terminated so l ong as
such parties r emain in full compli ance.
5. You are not required to accept t his License, since you h ave not
signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Pr ogram or its derivati ve works. These acti ons are
prohibited by law if you do not accept t his License. Therefor e, by
modifying or distri buting the Program (or an y work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and condition s for copying, d istributing or modifying the
Program or works bas ed on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Progr am (or any work based on the
Program), the re cipient automatic ally receives a l icense from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subjec t to
these terms and con ditions. You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' ex ercise of the ri ghts granted
herein.You are not r esponsible for enfor cing compliance by th ird
parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judg ment or allegation of patent
infringement or f or any other reaso n (not limited t o patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whet her by court order , agreement
or otherwise) that contradict the co nditions of this License, they do
not excuse you from t he conditions of this License. If you c annot
distribute so as to satisf y simultaneously yo ur obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence
you may not distri bute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who recei ve copies directly or indirectly thr ough you, then
the only way you could satisfy bo th it and this L icense would be to
refrain entirel y from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenfor ceable under
any particular ci rcumstance, the balance of the section is intended
to apply and the section as a whole i s intended to a pply in other
circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce yo u to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; th is section has the sole purpose of prot ecting the
integrity of t he free software d istribution system, which is
implemented by publi c license practices. Many people have made
generous contributio ns to the wide range of software distri buted
through that sys tem in reliance on consi stent application of that
system; it i s up to the aut hor/donor t o decide if he or s he is wi lling to
distribute software through any other system and a l icensee cannot
impose that choic e.
This section i s intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this Li cense.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is rest ricted in certai n
countries either by paten ts or by copy righted interfaces, the original
copyright holder who places the Program under t his License may
add an explicit geographical distr ibution limitat ion excluding those
countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries
not thus excluded. In such case, this Lic ense incorporates the
limitation as i f written in t he body of this Li cense.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions o f the General Publi c License from time to time. Such new
versions will be simi lar in spirit to the present version, but may dif fer
in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is giv en a distinguishing version number. If the
Program specifies a ver sion number of this License which applies to
it and "any later versi on", you have the option of foll owing the terms
and conditions either of that version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundati on. If the Program does not specify a
version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other fr
ee
programs whose distr ibution conditions ar e different, write to the
author to ask for permission. For software which is copyright ed by
the Free Software Foundation, write t o the Free Software
Foundation; we someti mes make exceptions f or this. Our decis ion
will be guided by the two goals of preserv ing the free stat us of all
derivatives of our free software and o f promoting the s haring and
reuse of software generally.

How to Apply These Ter ms to Your New Programs
If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free
software which ever yone can redistribute and change under these
terms
To do so, attach the fol lowing notices to the program. It is safest to
attach them to the st art of each source f ile to m ost effectively convey the
exclusion of warranty; and each file should ha ve at least the "copyri ght"
line and a pointer to where the full not ice is found.
<one line to g ive the program's name an d a brief idea of what it
does.>
