GNU License Part 2

Gnu License File Part 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Description


      7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
      infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
      issues), 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 distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
      your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
      obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the
      Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
      royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive
      copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you
      could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely
      from distribution of the Program.

      If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
      under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is
      intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply
      in other circumstances.

      It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
      patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of
      any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting
      the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
      implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
      generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
      through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
      system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is
      willing to distribute software through any other system and a
      licensee cannot impose that choice.

      This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed
      to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

      8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
      certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
      the original copyright holder who places the Program under this
      License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation
      excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only
      in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
      incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this
      License.

      9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
      versions of the 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 a version number of this License which applies to
      it and "any later version", you have the option of following the
      terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version
      published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not
      specify a version number of this License, you may choose any
      version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

      10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
      programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the
      author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by
      the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software
      Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
      will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of
      all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
      and reuse of software generally.

      NO WARRANTY
      11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, 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.

      12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
      WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
      MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE 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.

      END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS


      Appendix: 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
      convey 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 an idea of what it does.>
      Copyright (C) yyyy  <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 the Free Software Foundation; either version 2  of the License,
      or (at your option) any later version.

      This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,  but
      WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY ; without even the implied warranty of
      MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE .  See the
      GNU General Public License for more details.

      You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
      along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software
      Foundation, Inc.,
      59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA  02111-1307, USA.

      Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper
      mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice
      like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

      Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
      Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details  type
      `show w'.  This is free software, and you are welcome  to
      redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'  for
      details.

      The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the
      appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
      commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and
      `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever
      suits your program.

      You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or
      your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the
      program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

      Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the
      program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by
      James Hacker.

      signature of Ty Coon, 1 April 1989
      Ty Coon, President of Vice

      This General Public License does not permit incorporating your
      program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine
      library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking
      proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want
      to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this
      License.
