Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license docu-
ment, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share
and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guar-
antee your freedom to share and change free software to make sure the software
is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free
Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it.
(Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser
General Public License instead.) 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 this service 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 make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny
you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate
to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
