2: GNU CC GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
1.1.1.2 ! root 3: (Clarified 11 Feb 1988)
1.1 root 4:
1.1.1.2 ! root 5: Copyright (C) 1988 Richard M. Stallman
1.1 root 6: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
1.1.1.2 ! root 7: of this license, but changing it is not allowed. You can also
! 8: use this wording to make the terms for other programs.
1.1 root 9:
10: The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
11: mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
12: intended to give everyone the right to share GNU CC. To make sure that
13: you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
14: that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
15: the rights. Hence this license agreement.
16:
17: Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
18: away copies of GNU CC, that you receive source code or else can get it
19: if you want it, that you can change GNU CC or use pieces of it in new
20: free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
21:
22: To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
23: deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
24: copies of GNU CC, you must give the recipients all the rights that you
25: have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
26: source code. And you must tell them their rights.
27:
28: Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
29: finds out that there is no warranty for GNU CC. If GNU CC is modified by
30: someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
31: they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
32: by others will not reflect on our reputation.
33:
1.1.1.2 ! root 34: Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation,
1.1 root 35: Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
36: allowed to distribute or change GNU CC.
37:
38:
39: COPYING POLICIES
40:
1.1.1.2 ! root 41: 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GNU CC source code
! 42: as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
1.1 root 43: appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
1.1.1.2 ! root 44: (C) 1988 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with whatever year is
! 45: appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer to this
! 46: License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
! 47: other recipients of the GNU CC program a copy of this License
1.1 root 48: Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
49: for the physical act of transferring a copy.
50:
51: 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GNU CC or any portion of it,
52: and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
53: Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
54:
55: a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
56: that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
57:
58: b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
59: that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GNU CC or
60: any part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third
61: parties on terms identical to those contained in this License
62: Agreement (except that you may choose to grant more extensive
1.1.1.2 ! root 63: warranty protection to some or all third parties, at your option).
1.1 root 64:
65: c) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
66: transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
67: protection in exchange for a fee.
68:
1.1.1.2 ! root 69: Mere aggregation of another unrelated program with this program (or its
! 70: derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
! 71: the other program under the scope of these terms.
! 72:
! 73: 3. You may copy and distribute GNU CC (or a portion or derivative of it,
! 74: under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
! 75: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
! 76:
! 77: a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
! 78: source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
! 79: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
! 80:
! 81: b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
! 82: years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal
! 83: shipping charge) a complete machine-readable copy of the
! 84: corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
! 85: Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
! 86:
! 87: c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
! 88: corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
! 89: allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
! 90: received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
! 91:
! 92: For an executable file, complete source code means all the source code for
! 93: all modules it contains; but, as a special exception, it need not include
! 94: source code for modules which are standard libraries that accompany the
! 95: operating system on which the executable file runs.
1.1 root 96:
97: 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU CC
98: except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
99: otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GNU CC is void and
100: your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
101: automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
102: software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
103: their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
104:
105: 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GNU CC into other free programs
106: whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free Software
1.1.1.2 ! root 107: Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not yet worked
1.1 root 108: out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit this.
109: We will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
1.1.1.2 ! root 110: derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of
1.1 root 111: software.
112:
113: Your comments and suggestions about our licensing policies and our
114: software are welcome! Please contact the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
1.1.1.2 ! root 115: 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, or call (617) 876-3296.
1.1 root 116:
117: NO WARRANTY
118:
119: BECAUSE GNU CC IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
120: WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
121: WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
122: RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GNU CC "AS IS" WITHOUT
123: WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
124: LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
125: A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
126: PERFORMANCE OF GNU CC IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GNU CC PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
127: ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
128:
129: IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
130: STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
131: WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GNU CC AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
132: YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
133: SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
134: INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
135: BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
136: FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GNU CC, EVEN
137: IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
138: ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
