GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 3, 29

June 2007 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software
Foundation, Inc. <https://fsf.org/> Everyone is
permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of
this license document, but changing it is not
allowed. Preamble The GNU General Public
License is a free, copyleft license for software and
other kinds of works. The licenses for most
software and other practical works are designed to
take away your freedom to share and change the
works. By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
share and change all versions of a program--to
make sure it remains free software for all its users.
We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU
General Public License for most of our software; it
applies also to any other work released this way
by its authors. You can apply it to your programs,
too. When we speak of free software, we are
referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public
Licenses are designed to make sure that you have
the freedom to distribute copies of free software
(and charge for them if you wish), that you receive
source code or can get it if you want it, that you
can change the software or use pieces of it in new
free programs, and that you know you can do
these things. To protect your rights, we need to
prevent others from denying you these rights or
asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you
have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies
of the software, or if
you modify it: responsibilities to respect the
freedom of others. For example, if you distribute
copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
freedoms that you received. You must make sure
that they, too, receive or can get the source code.
And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights. Developers that use the GNU
GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert
copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this
License giving you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify it. For the developers' and
authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that
there is no warranty for this free software. For both
users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that
modified versions be marked as changed, so that
their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
authors of previous versions. Some devices are
designed to deny users access to install or run
modified versions of the software inside them,
although the manufacturer can do so. This is
fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
protecting users' freedom to change the software.
The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in
the area of products for individuals to use, which is
precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore,
we have designed this version of the GPL to
prohibit the practice for those products. If such
problems arise substantially in other domains, we
stand ready to extend this provision to those
domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed
to protect the freedom of users. Finally, every
program is threatened constantly by software
patents. States should not allow patents to restrict
development and use of software on general-
purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish
to avoid the special danger that patents applied to
a free program could make it effectively
proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
patents cannot be used to render the program
non-free. The precise terms and conditions for
copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS 0.
Definitions. "This License" refers to version 3 of
the GNU General Public License. "Copyright" also
means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds
of works, such as semiconductor masks. "The
Program" refers to any copyrightable work
licensed under this License. Each licensee is
addressed as "you". "Licensees" and "recipients"
may be individuals or organizations. To "modify" a
work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the
work in a fashion requiring copyright permission,
other than the making of an exact copy. The
resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
A "covered work" means either the unmodified
Program or a work based on the Program. To
"propagate" a work means to do anything with it
that, without permission, would make you directly
or secondarily liable for infringement under
applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation
includes copying, distribution (with or without
modification), making available to the public, and
in some countries other activities as well. To
"convey" a work means any kind of propagation
that enables other parties to make or receive
copies. Mere interaction with a user through a
computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
conveying. An interactive user interface displays
"Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it
includes a convenient and prominently visible
feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright
notice, and (2) tells the user that there is no
warranty for the work (except to the extent that
warranties are provided), that licensees may
convey the work under this License, and how to
view a copy of this License. If the interface
presents a list of user commands or options, such
as a menu, a prominent item in the list meets this
criterion. 1. Source Code. The "source code" for a
work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it. "Object code" means
any non-source form of a work. A "Standard
Interface" means an
interface that either is an official standard defined
by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
interfaces specified for a particular programming
language, one that is widely used among
developers working in that language. The "System
Libraries" of an executable work include anything,
other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included
in the normal form of packaging a Major
Component, but which is not part of that Major
Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of
the work with that Major Component, or to
implement a Standard Interface for which an
implementation is available to the public in source
code form. A "Major Component", in this context,
means a major essential component (kernel,
window system, and so on) of the specific
operating system (if any) on which the executable
work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work,
or an object code interpreter used to run it. The
"Corresponding Source" for a work in object code
form means all the source code needed to
generate, install, and (for an executable work) run
the object code and to modify the work, including
scripts to control those activities. However, it does
not include the work's System Libraries, or
general-purpose tools or generally available free
programs which are used unmodified in performing
those activities but which are not part of the work.
For example, Corresponding Source includes
interface definition files associated with source
files for the work, and the source code for shared
libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that
the work is specifically designed to require, such
as by intimate data communication or control flow
between those subprograms and other parts of the
work. The Corresponding Source need not include
anything that users can regenerate automatically
from other parts of the Corresponding Source. The
Corresponding Source for a work in source code
form is that same work. 2. Basic Permissions. All
rights granted under this License are granted for
the term of copyright on the Program, and are
irrevocable provided
the stated conditions are met. This License
explicitly affirms your unlimited permission to run
the unmodified Program. The output from running
a covered work is covered by this License only if
the output, given its content, constitutes a covered
work. This License acknowledges your rights of
fair use or other equivalent, as provided by
copyright law. You may make, run and propagate
covered works that you do not convey, without
conditions so long as your license otherwise
remains in force. You may convey covered works
to others for the sole purpose of having them
make modifications exclusively for you, or provide
you with facilities for running those works,
provided that you comply with the terms of this
License in conveying all material for which you do
not control copyright. Those thus making or
running the covered works for you must do so
exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
and control, on terms that prohibit them from
making any copies of your copyrighted material
outside their relationship with you. Conveying
under any other circumstances is permitted solely
under the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is
not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary. 3.
Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-
Circumvention Law. No covered work shall be
deemed part of an effective technological measure
under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under
article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on
20 December 1996, or similar laws prohibiting or
restricting circumvention of such measures. When
you convey a covered work, you waive any legal
power to forbid circumvention of technological
measures to the extent such circumvention is
effected by exercising rights under this License
with respect to the covered work, and you disclaim
any intention to limit operation or modification of
the work as a means of enforcing, against the
work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to
forbid circumvention of technological measures. 4.
Conveying Verbatim Copies. You may convey
verbatim copies of the Program's source
code as you receive it, in any medium, provided
that you conspicuously and appropriately publish
on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and
any non-permissive terms added in accord with
section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices
of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the
Program. You may charge any price or no price for
each copy that you convey, and you may offer
support or warranty protection for a fee. 5.
Conveying Modified Source Versions. You may
convey a work based on the Program, or the
modifications to produce it from the Program, in
the form of source code under the terms of section
4, provided that you also meet all of these
conditions: a) The work must carry prominent
notices stating that you modified it, and giving a
relevant date. b) The work must carry prominent
notices stating that it is released under this
License and any conditions added under section 7.
This requirement modifies the requirement in
section 4 to "keep intact all notices". c) You must
license the entire work, as a whole, under this
License to anyone who comes into possession of
a copy. This License will therefore apply, along
with any applicable section 7 additional terms, to
the whole of the work, and all its parts, regardless
of how they are packaged. This License gives no
permission to license the work in any other way,
but it does not invalidate such permission if you
have separately received it. d) If the work has
interactive user interfaces, each must display
Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the
Program has interactive interfaces that do not
display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need
not make them do so. A compilation of a covered
work with other separate and independent works,
which are not by their nature extensions of the
covered work, and which are not combined with it
such as to form a larger program, in or on a
volume of a storage or distribution medium, is
called an "aggregate" if the compilation and its
resulting copyright are not used to limit the access
or legal rights of the compilation's users beyond
what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a
covered work in an aggregate does not cause this
License to apply to the other parts of the
aggregate. 6. Conveying Non-Source Forms. You
may convey a covered work in object code form
under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that
you also convey the machine-readable
Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, in one of these ways: a) Convey the
object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
(including a physical distribution medium),
accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed
on a durable physical medium customarily used for
software interchange. b) Convey the object code
in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a
physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
written offer, valid for at least three years and valid
for as long as you offer spare parts or customer
support for that product model, to give anyone who
possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the
Corresponding Source for all the software in the
product that is covered by this License, on a
durable physical medium customarily used for
software interchange, for a price no more than
your reasonable cost of physically performing this
conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
Corresponding Source from a network server at no
charge. c) Convey individual copies of the object
code with a copy of the written offer to provide the
Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed
only occasionally and noncommercially, and only if
you received the object code with such an offer, in
accord with subsection 6b. d) Convey the object
code by offering access from a designated place
(gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent
access to the Corresponding Source in the same
way through the same place at no further charge.
You need not require recipients to copy the
Corresponding Source along with the object code.
If the place to copy the object code is a network
server, the Corresponding
Source may be on a different server (operated by
you or a third party) that supports equivalent
copying facilities, provided you maintain clear
directions next to the object code saying where to
find the Corresponding Source. Regardless of
what server hosts the Corresponding Source, you
remain obligated to ensure that it is available for
as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer
transmission, provided you inform other peers
where the object code and Corresponding Source
of the work are being offered to the general public
at no charge under subsection 6d. A separable
portion of the object code, whose source code is
excluded from the Corresponding Source as a
System Library, need not be included in conveying
the object code work. A "User Product" is either (1)
a "consumer product", which means any tangible
personal property which is normally used for
personal, family, or household purposes, or (2)
anything designed or sold for incorporation into a
dwelling. In determining whether a product is a
consumer product, doubtful cases shall be
resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
product received by a particular user, "normally
used" refers to a typical or common use of that
class of product, regardless of the status of the
particular user or of the way in which the particular
user actually uses, or expects or is expected to
use, the product. A product is a consumer product
regardless of whether the product has substantial
commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses,
unless such uses represent the only significant
mode of use of the product. "Installation
Information" for a User Product means any
methods, procedures, authorization keys, or other
information required to install and execute
modified versions of a covered work in that User
Product from a modified version of its
Corresponding Source. The information must
suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of
the modified object code is in no case prevented
or interfered with solely because modification has
been made. If you convey an object code work
under this section in, or with, or specifically for use
in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
part of a transaction in which the right of
possession and use of the User Product is
transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is
characterized), the Corresponding Source
conveyed under this section must be accompanied
by the Installation Information. But this
requirement does not apply if neither you nor any
third party retains the ability to install modified
object code on the User Product (for example, the
work has been installed in ROM). The requirement
to provide Installation Information does not include
a requirement to continue to provide support
service, warranty, or updates for a work that has
been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
the User Product in which it has been modified or
installed. Access to a network may be denied
when the modification itself materially and
adversely affects the operation of the network or
violates the rules and protocols for communication
across the network. Corresponding Source
conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in
accord with this section must be in a format that is
publicly documented (and with an implementation
available to the public in source code form), and
must require no special password or key for
unpacking, reading or copying. 7. Additional
Terms. "Additional permissions" are terms that
supplement the terms of this License by making
exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
Additional permissions that are applicable to the
entire Program shall be treated as though they
were included in this License, to the extent that
they are valid under applicable law. If additional
permissions apply only to part of the Program, that
part may be used separately under those
permissions, but the entire Program remains
governed by this License without regard to the
additional permissions. When you convey a copy
of a covered work, you may
at your option remove any additional permissions
from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional
permissions may be written to require their own
removal in certain cases when you modify the
work.) You may place additional permissions on
material, added by you to a covered work, for
which you have or can give appropriate copyright
permission. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this License, for material you add to a covered
work, you may (if authorized by the copyright
holders of that material) supplement the terms of
this License with terms: a) Disclaiming warranty or
limiting liability differently from the terms of
sections 15 and 16 of this License; or b) Requiring
preservation of specified reasonable legal notices
or author attributions in that material or in the
Appropriate Legal Notices displayed by works
containing it; or c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of
the origin of that material, or requiring that
modified versions of such material be marked in
reasonable ways as different from the original
version; or d) Limiting the use for publicity
purposes of names of licensors or authors of the
material; or e) Declining to grant rights under
trademark law for use of some trade names,
trademarks, or service marks; or f) Requiring
indemnification of licensors and authors of that
material by anyone who conveys the material (or
modified versions of it) with contractual
assumptions of liability to the recipient, for any
liability that these contractual assumptions directly
impose on those licensors and authors. All other
non-permissive additional terms are considered
"further restrictions" within the meaning of section
10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of
it, contains a notice stating that it is governed by
this License along with a term that is a further
restriction, you may remove that term. If a license
document contains a further restriction but permits
relicensing or conveying under this License, you
may add to a covered work material governed by
the terms of that license document, provided that
the further restriction does
not survive such relicensing or conveying. If you
add terms to a covered work in accord with this
section, you must place, in the relevant source
files, a statement of the additional terms that apply
to those files, or a notice indicating where to find
the applicable terms. Additional terms, permissive
or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a
separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
the above requirements apply either way. 8.
Termination. You may not propagate or modify a
covered work except as expressly provided under
this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate
or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License (including any
patent licenses granted under the third paragraph
of section 11). However, if you cease all violation
of this License, then your license from a particular
copyright holder is reinstated (a) provisionally,
unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
finally terminates your license, and (b)
permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify
you of the violation by some reasonable means
prior to 60 days after the cessation. Moreover,
your license from a particular copyright holder is
reinstated permanently if the copyright holder
notifies you of the violation by some reasonable
means, this is the first time you have received
notice of violation of this License (for any work)
from that copyright holder, and you cure the
violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the
notice. Termination of your rights under this section
does not terminate the licenses of parties who
have received copies or rights from you under this
License. If your rights have been terminated and
not permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to
receive new licenses for the same material under
section 10. 9. Acceptance Not Required for Having
Copies. You are not required to accept this
License in order to receive or run a copy of the
Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-
to-peer transmission to
receive a copy likewise does not require
acceptance. However, nothing other than this
License grants you permission to propagate or
modify any covered work. These actions infringe
copyright if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered
work, you indicate your acceptance of this License
to do so. 10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream
Recipients. Each time you convey a covered work,
the recipient automatically receives a license from
the original licensors, to run, modify and propagate
that work, subject to this License. You are not
responsible for enforcing compliance by third
parties with this License. An "entity transaction" is
a transaction transferring control of an
organization, or substantially all assets of one, or
subdividing an organization, or merging
organizations. If propagation of a covered work
results from an entity transaction, each party to
that transaction who receives a copy of the work
also receives whatever licenses to the work the
party's predecessor in interest had or could give
under the previous paragraph, plus a right to
possession of the Corresponding Source of the
work from the predecessor in interest, if the
predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
efforts. You may not impose any further restrictions
on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed
under this License. For example, you may not
impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for
exercise of rights granted under this License, and
you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-
claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
any patent claim is infringed by making, using,
selling, offering for sale, or importing the Program
or any portion of it. 11. Patents. A "contributor" is a
copyright holder who authorizes use under this
License of the Program or a work on which the
Program is based. The work thus licensed is called
the contributor's "contributor version". A
contributor's "essential patent claims" are all
patent claims owned or controlled by the
contributor, whether already
acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be
infringed by some manner, permitted by this
License, of making, using, or selling its contributor
version, but do not include claims that would be
infringed only as a consequence of further
modification of the contributor version. For
purposes of this definition, "control" includes the
right to grant patent sublicenses in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License.
Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive,
worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use,
sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run,
modify and propagate the contents of its
contributor version. In the following three
paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
agreement or commitment, however denominated,
not to enforce a patent (such as an express
permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a
patent license to a party means to make such an
agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent
against the party. If you convey a covered work,
knowingly relying on a patent license, and the
Corresponding Source of the work is not available
for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the
terms of this License, through a publicly available
network server or other readily accessible means,
then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding
Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to
deprive yourself of the benefit of the patent license
for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
consistent with the requirements of this License, to
extend the patent license to downstream
recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
actual knowledge that, but for the patent license,
your conveying the covered work in a country, or
your recipient's use of the covered work in a
country, would infringe one or more identifiable
patents in that country that you have reason to
believe are valid. If, pursuant to or in connection
with a single transaction or arrangement, you
convey, or propagate by procuring
conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent
license to some of the parties receiving the
covered work authorizing them to use, propagate,
modify or convey a specific copy of the covered
work, then the patent license you grant is
automatically extended to all recipients of the
covered work and works based on it. A patent
license is "discriminatory" if it does not include
within the scope of its coverage, prohibits the
exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise
of one or more of the rights that are specifically
granted under this License. You may not convey a
covered work if you are a party to an arrangement
with a third party that is in the business of
distributing software, under which you make
payment to the third party based on the extent of
your activity of conveying the work, and under
which the third party grants, to any of the parties
who would receive the covered work from you, a
discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with
copies of the covered work conveyed by you (or
copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
for and in connection with specific products or
compilations that contain the covered work, unless
you entered into that arrangement, or that patent
license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
Nothing in this License shall be construed as
excluding or limiting any implied license or other
defenses to infringement that may otherwise be
available to you under applicable patent law. 12.
No Surrender of Others' Freedom. If conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the
conditions of this License, they do not excuse you
from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
convey a covered work so as to satisfy
simultaneously your obligations under this License
and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not convey it at all. For
example, if you agree to terms that obligate you to
collect a royalty for further conveying from those to
whom you convey the Program, the only way you
could satisfy both those terms and this License
would be
to refrain entirely from conveying the Program. 13.
Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this
License, you have permission to link or combine
any covered work with a work licensed under
version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public
License into a single combined work, and to
convey the resulting work. The terms of this
License will continue to apply to the part which is
the covered work, but the special requirements of
the GNU Affero General Public License, section
13, concerning interaction through a network will
apply to the combination as such. 14. Revised
Versions of this License. The Free Software
Foundation may publish revised and/or new
versions of the GNU General Public License from
time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail
to address new problems or concerns. Each
version is given a distinguishing version number. If
the Program specifies that a certain numbered
version of the GNU General Public License "or any
later version" applies to it, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that
numbered version or of any later version published
by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program
does not specify a version number of the GNU
General Public License, you may choose any
version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation. If the Program specifies that a proxy
can decide which future versions of the GNU
General Public License can be used, that proxy's
public statement of acceptance of a version
permanently authorizes you to choose that version
for the Program. Later license versions may give
you additional or different permissions. However,
no additional obligations are imposed on any
author or copyright holder as a result of your
choosing to follow a later version. 15. Disclaimer of
Warranty. THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE
PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE
COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER
EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES
OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. Limitation of
Liability. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY
APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY
OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR
CONVEYS THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED
ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO
USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING
RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES
SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A
FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE
WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF
SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN
ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. 17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and
16. If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of
liability provided above cannot be given local legal
effect according to their terms, reviewing courts
shall apply local law that most closely
approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability
in connection with the Program, unless a warranty
or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of
the Program in return for a fee. END OF TERMS
AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms 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 everyone can
redistribute and change under these terms. To do
so, attach the following
notices to the program. It is safest to attach them
to the start of each source file to most effectively
state the exclusion of warranty; and each file
should have at least the "copyright" line and a
pointer to where the full notice is found. <one line
to give the program's name and a brief idea of
what it does.> Copyright (C) <year> <name of
author> This program is free software: you can
redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of
the GNU General Public License as published by

This program is distributed in the hope that it will
be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY;
without even the implied warranty of

Public License for more details. You should have
received a copy of the GNU General Public

<https://www.gnu.org/licenses/>. Also add
information on how to contact you by electronic

interaction, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode: <program>

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c'
should show the appropriate parts of the General

commands might be different; for a GUI interface,
you would use an "about box". You should also get
your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for
the program, if necessary. For more information on
