21	<p>TSP Solver and Generator is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.</p>
22	<p>For your convenience the full text of the License is provided here.</p>

24	GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
25	Version 3, 29 June 2007
26
27	Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
28	Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
29	of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
30
31	Preamble
32
33	The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
34	software and other kinds of works.
35
36	The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
37	to take away your freedom to share and change the works. By contrast,
38	the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
39	share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
40	software for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
41	GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
42	any other work released this way by its authors. You can apply it to
43	your programs, too.
44
45	When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
46	price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
47	have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
48	them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
49	want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
50	free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
51
52	To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
53	these rights or asking you to surrender the rights. Therefore, you have
54	certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
55	you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
56
57	For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
58	gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
59	freedoms that you received. You must make sure that they, too, receive
60	or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
61	know their rights.
62
63	Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
64	(1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
65	giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
66
67	For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
68	that there is no warranty for this free software. For both users' and
69	authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
70	changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
71	authors of previous versions.
72
73	Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
74	modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
75	can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
76	protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic
77	pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
78	use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable. Therefore, we
79	have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
80	products. If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
81	stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
82	of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
83
84	Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
85	States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
86	software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
87	avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
88	make it effectively proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that
89	patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
90
91	The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
92	modification follow.
93
94	TERMS AND CONDITIONS
95
96	0. Definitions.
97
98	"This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
99
100	"Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
101	works, such as semiconductor masks.
102
103	"The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
104	License. Each licensee is addressed as "you". "Licensees" and
105	"recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
106
107	To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
108	in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
109	exact copy. The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
110	earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
111
112	A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
113	on the Program.
114
115	To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
116	permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
117	infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
118	computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying,
119	distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
120	public, and in some countries other activities as well.
121
122	To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
123	parties to make or receive copies. Mere interaction with a user through
124	a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
125
126	An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
127	to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
128	feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
129	tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
130	extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
131	work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License. If
132	the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
133	menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
134
135	1. Source Code.
136
137	The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
138	for making modifications to it. "Object code" means any non-source
139	form of a work.
140
141	A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
142	standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
143	interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
144	is widely used among developers working in that language.
145
146	The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
147	than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
148	packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
149	Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
150	Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
151	implementation is available to the public in source code form. A
152	"Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
153	(kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
154	(if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
155	produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
156
157	The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
158	the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
159	work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
160	control those activities. However, it does not include the work's
161	System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
162	programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
163	which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
164	includes interface definition files associated with source files for
165	the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
166	linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
167	such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
168	subprograms and other parts of the work.
169
170	The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
171	can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
172	Source.
173
174	The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
175	same work.
176
177	2. Basic Permissions.
178
179	All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
180	copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
181	conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
182	permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a
183	covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
184	content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges your
185	rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
186
187	You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
188	convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
189	in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
190	of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
191	with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
192	the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
193	not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works
194	for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
195	and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
196	your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
197
198	Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
199	the conditions stated below. Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
200	makes it unnecessary.
201
202	3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
203
204	No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
205	measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
206	11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
207	similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
208	measures.
209
210	When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
211	circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
212	is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
213	the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
214	modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
215	users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
216	technological measures.
217
218	4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
219
220	You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
221	receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
222	appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
223	keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
224	non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
225	keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
226	recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
227
228	You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
229	and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
230
231	5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
232
233	You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
234	produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
235	terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
236
237	a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
238	it, and giving a relevant date.
239
240	b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
241	released under this License and any conditions added under section
242	7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
243	"keep intact all notices".
244
245	c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
246	License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
247	License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
248	additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
249	regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
250	permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
251	invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
252
253	d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
254	Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
255	interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
256	work need not make them do so.
257
258	A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
259	works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
260	and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
261	in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
262	"aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
263	used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
264	beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work
265	in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
266	parts of the aggregate.
267
268	6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
269
270	You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
271	of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
272	machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
273	in one of these ways:
274
275	a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
276	(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
277	Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
278	customarily used for software interchange.
279
280	b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
281	(including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
282	written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
283	long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
284	model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
285	copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
286	product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
287	medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
288	more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
289	conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
290	Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
291
292	c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
293	written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
294	alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
295	only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
296	with subsection 6b.
297
298	d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
299	place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
300	Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
301	further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
302	Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
303	copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
304	may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
305	that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
306	clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
307	Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
308	Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
309	available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
310
311	e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
312	you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
313	Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
314	charge under subsection 6d.
315
316	A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
317	from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
318	included in conveying the object code work.
319
320	A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
321	tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
322	or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
323	into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
324	doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular
325	product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
326	typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
327	of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
328	actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product. A product
329	is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
330	commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
331	the only significant mode of use of the product.
332
333	"Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
334	procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
335	and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
336	a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must
337	suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
338	code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
339	modification has been made.
340
341	If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
342	specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
343	part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
344	User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
345	fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
346	Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
347	by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply
348	if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
349	modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
350	been installed in ROM).
351
352	The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
353	requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
354	for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
355	the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a
356	network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
357	adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
358	protocols for communication across the network.
359
360	Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
361	in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
362	documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
363	source code form), and must require no special password or key for
364	unpacking, reading or copying.
365
366	7. Additional Terms.
367
368	"Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
369	License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
370	Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
371	be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
372	that they are valid under applicable law. If additional permissions
373	apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
374	under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
375	this License without regard to the additional permissions.
376
377	When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
378	remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
379	it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
380	removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place
381	additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
382	for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
383
384	Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
385	add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
386	that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
387
388	a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
389	terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
390
391	b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
392	author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
393	Notices displayed by works containing it; or
394
395	c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
396	requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
397	reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
398
399	d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
400	authors of the material; or
401
402	e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
403	trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
404
405	f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
406	material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
407	it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
408	any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
409	those licensors and authors.
410
411	All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
412	restrictions" within the meaning of section 10. If the Program as you
413	received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
414	governed by this License along with a term that is a further
415	restriction, you may remove that term. If a license document contains
416	a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
417	License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
418	of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
419	not survive such relicensing or conveying.
420
421	If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
422	must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
423	additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
424	where to find the applicable terms.
425
426	Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
427	form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
428	the above requirements apply either way.
429
430	8. Termination.
431
432	You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
433	provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
434	modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
435	this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
436	paragraph of section 11).
437
438	However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
439	license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
440	provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
441	finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
442	holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
443	prior to 60 days after the cessation.
444
445	Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
446	reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
447	violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
448	received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
449	copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
450	your receipt of the notice.
451
452	Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
453	licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
454	this License. If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
455	reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
456	material under section 10.
457
458	9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
459
460	You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
461	run a copy of the Program. Ancillary propagation of a covered work
462	occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
463	to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However,
464	nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
465	modify any covered work. These actions infringe copyright if you do
466	not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
467	covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
468
469	10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
470
471	Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
472	receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
473	propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not responsible
474	for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
475
476	An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
477	organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
478	organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a covered
479	work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
480	transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
481	licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
482	give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
483	Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
484	the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
485
486	You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
487	rights granted or affirmed under this License. For example, you may
488	not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
489	rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
490	(including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
491	any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
492	sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
493
494	11. Patents.
495
496	A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
497	License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based. The
498	work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
499
500	A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
501	owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
502	hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
503	by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
504	but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
505	consequence of further modification of the contributor version. For
506	purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
507	patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
508	this License.
509
510	Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
511	patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
512	make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
513	propagate the contents of its contributor version.
514
515	In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
516	agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
517	(such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
518	sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a
519	party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
520	patent against the party.
521
522	If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
523	and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
524	to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
525	publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
526	then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
527	available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
528	patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
529	consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
530	license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly relying" means you have
531	actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
532	covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
533	in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
534	country that you have reason to believe are valid.
535
536	If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
537	arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
538	covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
539	receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
540	or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
541	you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
542	work and works based on it.
543
544	A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
545	the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
546	conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
547	specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered
548	work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
549	in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
550	to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
551	the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
552	parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
553	patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
554	conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
555	for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
556	contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
557	or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
558
559	Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
560	any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
561	otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
562
563	12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
564
565	If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
566	otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
567	excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot convey a
568	covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
569	License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
570	not convey it at all. For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
571	to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
572	the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
573	License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
574
575	13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
576
577	Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
578	permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
579	under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
580	combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this
581	License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
582	but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
583	section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
584	combination as such.
585
586	14. Revised Versions of this License.
587
588	The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
589	the GNU General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
590	be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
591	address new problems or concerns.
592
593	Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
594	Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
595	Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
596	option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
597	version or of any later version published by the Free Software
598	Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of the
599	GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
600	by the Free Software Foundation.
601
602	If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
603	versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
604	public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
605	to choose that version for the Program.
606
607	Later license versions may give you additional or different
608	permissions. However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
609	author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
610	later version.
611
612	15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
613
614	THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
615	APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
616	HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
617	OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
618	THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
619	PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
620	IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
621	ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
622
623	16. Limitation of Liability.
624
625	IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
626	WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
627	THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
628	GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
629	USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
630	DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
631	PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
632	EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
633	SUCH DAMAGES.
634
635	17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
636
637	If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
638	above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
639	reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
640	an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
641	Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
642	copy of the Program in return for a fee.
643
644	END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
645
646	How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
647
648	If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
649	possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
650	free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
651
652	To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
653	to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
654	state the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
655	the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
656
657	<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>
658	Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
659
660	This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify
661	it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
662	the Free Software Foundation, either version 2 of the License, or
663	(at your option) any later version.
664
665	This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
666	but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
667	MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the
668	GNU General Public License for more details.
669
670	You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License
671	along with this program. If not, see <<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/</a>>.
672
673	Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
674
675	If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short
676	notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:
677
678	<program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
679	This program comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
680	This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
681	under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.
682
683	The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
684	parts of the General Public License. Of course, your program's commands
685	might be different; for a GUI interface, you would use an "about box".
686
687	You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school,
688	if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary.
689	For more information on this, and how to apply and follow the GNU GPL, see
690	<<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/">http://www.gnu.org/licenses/</a>>.
691
692	The GNU General Public License does not permit incorporating your program
693	into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you
694	may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with
695	the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
696	Public License instead of this License. But first, please read
697	<<a href="http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html">http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html</a>>.</pre>
