10The Free Software Foundation has exempted Bash from the requirement of
11Paragraph 2c of the General Public License. This is to say, there is
12no requirement for Bash to print a notice when it is started
13interactively in the usual way. We made this exception because users
14and standards expect shells not to print such messages. This
15exception applies to any program that serves as a shell and that is
16based primarily on Bash as opposed to other GNU software.

18 Preamble
19
20 The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users
21at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public
22License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
870ca253 23software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The
bd5635a1
RP
24General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's
25software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it.
26You can use it for your programs, too.
27
28 When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
870ca253 29price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make
bd5635a1
RP
30sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free
31software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it,
32that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free
33programs; and that you know you can do these things.
34
35 To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
36anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
37These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
38distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
39
40 For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether
41gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
42you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
43source code. And you must tell them their rights.
44
45 We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
46(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
47distribute and/or modify the software.
48
49 Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
50that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
51software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
52want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
53that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
54authors' reputations.
55
56 The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
57modification follow.
58\f
59 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
60 TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
61
62 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which
63contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be
64distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The
65"Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based
66on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the
67Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each
68licensee is addressed as "you".
69
70 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source
71code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
72appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and
73disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this
74General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any
75other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License
870ca253 76along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of
bd5635a1
RP
77transferring a copy.
78
79 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
80it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph
811 above, provided that you also do the following:
82
83 a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that
84 you changed the files and the date of any change; and
85
86 b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that
87 in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either
88 with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all
89 third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except
90 that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all
91 third parties, at your option).
92
93 c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when
94 run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use
95 in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an
96 announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice
97 that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
98 warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these
99 conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General
100 Public License.
101
102 d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
103 copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in
104 exchange for a fee.
105
106Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its
107derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring
108the other work under the scope of these terms.
109\f
110 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of
111it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
112Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
113
114 a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
115 source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
116 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
117
118 b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
119 years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge
120 for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the
121 corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of
122 Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
123
124 c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the
870ca253 125 corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is
bd5635a1
RP
126 allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
127 received the program in object code or executable form alone.)
128
129Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
130modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means
131all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special
132exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard
133libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable
134file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that
135accompany that operating system.
136
137 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the
138Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License.
139Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer
140the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use
870ca253 141the Program under this License. However, parties who have received
bd5635a1
RP
142copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public
143License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties
144remain in full compliance.
145
146 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based
147on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so,
148and all its terms and conditions.
149
150 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
151Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original
152licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these
153terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the
154recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
155\f
156 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
157of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
158be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
159address new problems or concerns.
160
870ca253 161Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
bd5635a1
RP
162specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any
163later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
164either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
165Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
166the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
167Foundation.
168
169 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
170programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
870ca253 171to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
bd5635a1
RP
172Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
173make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
174of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
175of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
176
177 NO WARRANTY
178
179 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
180FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
181OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
182PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
183OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
184MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
185TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
186PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
187REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
188
189 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
190WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
191REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
192INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
193OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
194TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
195YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
196PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
197POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
198
199 END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

201 Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
202
203 If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
204possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
205free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
206terms.
207
208 To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to
209attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
210the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
211"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
212
213 <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

215
216 This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
217 it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
218 the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option)
219 any later version.
220
221 This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
222 but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
223 MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
224 GNU General Public License for more details.
225
226 You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
227 along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
228 Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA.
229
230Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
231
232If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
233when it starts in an interactive mode:
234
235 Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author
236 Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
237 This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
238 under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
239
240The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
241appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
242commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show
243c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your
244program.
245
246You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
247school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
248necessary. Here a sample; alter the names:
249
250 Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
251 program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes
252 at assemblers) written by James Hacker.
