1.1.1.2 ! root        1:                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
        !             2:                       Version 2, June 1991
1.1       root        3: 
1.1.1.2 ! root        4:    TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
1.1       root        5: 
1.1.1.2 ! root        6:   0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
        !             7: a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
        !             8: under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
        !             9: refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
        !            10: means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
        !            11: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
        !            12: either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
        !            13: language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
        !            14: the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
        !            15: 
        !            16: Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
        !            17: covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
        !            18: running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
        !            19: is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
        !            20: Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
        !            21: Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
        !            22: 
        !            23:   1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
        !            24: source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
        !            25: conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
        !            26: copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
        !            27: notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
        !            28: and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
        !            29: along with the Program.
        !            30: 
        !            31: You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
        !            32: you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
        !            33: 
        !            34:   2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
        !            35: of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
        !            36: distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
        !            37: above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
        !            38: 
        !            39:     a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
        !            40:     stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
        !            41: 
        !            42:     b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
        !            43:     whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
        !            44:     part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
        !            45:     parties under the terms of this License.
        !            46: 
        !            47:     c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
        !            48:     when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
        !            49:     interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
        !            50:     announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
        !            51:     notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
        !            52:     a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
        !            53:     these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
        !            54:     License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
        !            55:     does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
        !            56:     the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
        !            57: 
        !            58: These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
        !            59: identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
        !            60: and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
        !            61: themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
        !            62: sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
        !            63: distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
        !            64: on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
        !            65: this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
        !            66: entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
        !            67: 
        !            68: Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
        !            69: your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
        !            70: exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
        !            71: collective works based on the Program.
        !            72: 
        !            73: In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
        !            74: with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
        !            75: a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
        !            76: the scope of this License.
        !            77: 
        !            78:   3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
        !            79: under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
        !            80: Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
        !            81: 
        !            82:     a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
        !            83:     source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
        !            84:     1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
        !            85: 
        !            86:     b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
        !            87:     years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
        !            88:     cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
        !            89:     machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
        !            90:     distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
        !            91:     customarily used for software interchange; or,
        !            92: 
        !            93:     c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
        !            94:     to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
        !            95:     allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
        !            96:     received the program in object code or executable form with such
        !            97:     an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
        !            98: 
        !            99: The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
        !           100: making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
        !           101: code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
        !           102: associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
        !           103: control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
        !           104: special exception, the source code distributed need not include
        !           105: anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
        !           106: form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
        !           107: operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
        !           108: itself accompanies the executable.
        !           109: 
        !           110: If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
        !           111: access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
        !           112: access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
        !           113: distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
        !           114: compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
        !           115: 
        !           116:   4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
        !           117: except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
        !           118: otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
        !           119: void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
        !           120: However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
        !           121: this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
        !           122: parties remain in full compliance.
        !           123: 
        !           124:   5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
        !           125: signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
        !           126: distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
        !           127: prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
        !           128: modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
        !           129: Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
        !           130: all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
        !           131: the Program or works based on it.
        !           132: 
        !           133:   6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
        !           134: Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
        !           135: original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
        !           136: these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
        !           137: restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
        !           138: You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
        !           139: this License.
        !           140: 
        !           141:   7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
        !           142: infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
        !           143: conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
        !           144: otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
        !           145: excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
        !           146: distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
        !           147: License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
        !           148: may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
        !           149: license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
        !           150: all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
        !           151: the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
        !           152: refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
        !           153: 
        !           154: If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
        !           155: any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
        !           156: apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
        !           157: circumstances.
        !           158: 
        !           159: It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
        !           160: patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
        !           161: such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
        !           162: integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
        !           163: implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
        !           164: generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
        !           165: through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
        !           166: system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
        !           167: to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
        !           168: impose that choice.
        !           169: 
        !           170: This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
        !           171: be a consequence of the rest of this License.
        !           172: 
        !           173:   8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
        !           174: certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
        !           175: original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
        !           176: may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
        !           177: those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
        !           178: countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
        !           179: the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
        !           180: 
        !           181:   9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
        !           182: of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
        !           183: be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
        !           184: address new problems or concerns.
        !           185: 
        !           186: Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
        !           187: specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
        !           188: later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
        !           189: either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
        !           190: Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
        !           191: this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
        !           192: Foundation.
        !           193: 
        !           194:   10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
        !           195: programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
        !           196: to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
        !           197: Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
        !           198: make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
        !           199: of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
        !           200: of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
        !           201: 
        !           202:                            NO WARRANTY
        !           203: 
        !           204:   11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
        !           205: FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
        !           206: OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
        !           207: PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
        !           208: OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
        !           209: MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
        !           210: TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
        !           211: PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
        !           212: REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
        !           213: 
        !           214:   12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
        !           215: WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
        !           216: REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
        !           217: INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
