2: GNU CC GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
3:
4: Copyright (C) 1987 Richard M. Stallman
5: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
6: of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
7:
8: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
9: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
10: intended to give everyone the right to share GNU CC. To make sure that
11: you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
12: that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
13: the rights. Hence this license agreement.
14:
15: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
16: away copies of GNU CC, that you receive source code or else can get it
17: if you want it, that you can change GNU CC or use pieces of it in new
18: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
19:
20: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
21: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
22: copies of GNU CC, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
23: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
24: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
25:
26: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
27: finds out that there is no warranty for GNU CC. If GNU CC is modified by
28: someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
29: they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
30: by others will not reflect on our reputation.
31:
32: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Fundation,
33: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
34: allowed to distribute or change GNU CC.
35:
36:
37: COPYING POLICIES
38:
39: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU CC source code as
40: you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
41: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
42: (C) 1987 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year updated if
43: that is appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
44: to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
45: any other recipients of the GNU CC program a copy of this License
46: Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
47: for the physical act of transferring a copy.
48:
49: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU CC or any portion of it,
50: and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
51: Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
52:
53: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
54: that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
55:
56: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
57: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU CC or
58: any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
59: parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
60: Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
61: warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your
62: option).
63:
64: c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
65: transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
66: protection in exchange for a fee.
67:
68: 3. You may copy and distribute GNU CC or any portion of it in
69: compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
70: 1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
71:
72: a) cause each such copy to be accompanied by the
73: corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
74: be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
75:
76: b) cause each such copy to be accompanied by a
77: written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
78: free (except for a nominal shipping charge) a machine readable
79: copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
80: under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
81:
82: c) in the case of a recipient of GNU CC in compiled, executable
83: or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
84: shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
85: of the written offer of source code which you received along
86: with the copy you received.
87:
88: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU CC
89: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
90: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU CC is void and
91: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
92: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
93: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
94: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
95:
96: 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU CC into other free programs
97: whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software
98: Foundation at 1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138. We have not yet worked
99: out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit this.
100: We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
101: derivatives our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
102: software.
103:
104: Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
105: software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
106: 1000 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138, or call (617) 876-3296.
107:
108: NO WARRANTY
109:
110: BECAUSE GNU CC IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
111: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
112: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
113: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU CC "AS IS" WITHOUT
114: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
115: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
116: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
117: PERFORMANCE OF GNU CC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GNU CC PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
118: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
119:
120: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
121: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
122: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GNU CC AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
123: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
124: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
125: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
126: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
127: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GNU CC, EVEN
128: IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
129: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
