··· 1 + Valid-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ 2 + SPDX-URL: https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-1.0.html 3 + Usage-Guide: 4 + The GNU General Public License (GPL) version 1 should not be used in new 5 + code. For existing kernel code the 'or any later version' option is 6 + required to be compatible with the general license of the project: GPLv2. 7 + To use the license in source code, put the following SPDX tag/value pair 8 + into a comment according to the placement guidelines in the licensing 9 + rules documentation: 10 + SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-1.0+ 11 + License-Text: 12 + 13 + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 14 + Version 1, February 1989 15 + 16 + Copyright (C) 1989 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 17 + 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA 18 + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies 19 + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. 20 + 21 + Preamble 22 + 23 + The license agreements of most software companies try to keep users 24 + at the mercy of those companies. By contrast, our General Public 25 + License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free 26 + software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. The 27 + General Public License applies to the Free Software Foundation's 28 + software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. 29 + You can use it for your programs, too. 30 + 31 + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not 32 + price. Specifically, the General Public License is designed to make 33 + sure that you have the freedom to give away or sell copies of free 34 + software, that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, 35 + that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free 36 + programs; and that you know you can do these things. 37 + 38 + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid 39 + anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. 40 + These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you 41 + distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. 42 + 43 + For example, if you distribute copies of a such a program, whether 44 + gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that 45 + you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the 46 + source code. And you must tell them their rights. 47 + 48 + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and 49 + (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, 50 + distribute and/or modify the software. 51 + 52 + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain 53 + that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free 54 + software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we 55 + want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so 56 + that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original 57 + authors' reputations. 58 + 59 + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and 60 + modification follow. 61 + 62 + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE 63 + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 64 + 65 + 0. This License Agreement applies to any program or other work which 66 + contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be 67 + distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The 68 + "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based 69 + on the Program" means either the Program or any work containing the 70 + Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications. Each 71 + licensee is addressed as "you". 72 + 73 + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source 74 + code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and 75 + appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and 76 + disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this 77 + General Public License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any 78 + other recipients of the Program a copy of this General Public License 79 + along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of 80 + transferring a copy. 81 + 82 + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of 83 + it, and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of Paragraph 84 + 1 above, provided that you also do the following: 85 + 86 + a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that 87 + you changed the files and the date of any change; and 88 + 89 + b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish, that 90 + in whole or in part contains the Program or any part thereof, either 91 + with or without modifications, to be licensed at no charge to all 92 + third parties under the terms of this General Public License (except 93 + that you may choose to grant warranty protection to some or all 94 + third parties, at your option). 95 + 96 + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when 97 + run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use 98 + in the simplest and most usual way, to print or display an 99 + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice 100 + that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a 101 + warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these 102 + conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this General 103 + Public License. 104 + 105 + d) You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a 106 + copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in 107 + exchange for a fee. 108 + 109 + Mere aggregation of another independent work with the Program (or its 110 + derivative) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring 111 + the other work under the scope of these terms. 112 + 113 + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a portion or derivative of 114 + it, under Paragraph 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of 115 + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 116 + 117 + a) accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable 118 + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of 119 + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, 120 + 121 + b) accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three 122 + years, to give any third party free (except for a nominal charge 123 + for the cost of distribution) a complete machine-readable copy of the 124 + corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of 125 + Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or, 126 + 127 + c) accompany it with the information you received as to where the 128 + corresponding source code may be obtained. (This alternative is 129 + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you 130 + received the program in object code or executable form alone.) 131 + 132 + Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making 133 + modifications to it. For an executable file, complete source code means 134 + all the source code for all modules it contains; but, as a special 135 + exception, it need not include source code for modules which are standard 136 + libraries that accompany the operating system on which the executable 137 + file runs, or for standard header files or definitions files that 138 + accompany that operating system. 139 + 140 + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer the 141 + Program except as expressly provided under this General Public License. 142 + Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, distribute or transfer 143 + the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights to use 144 + the Program under this License. However, parties who have received 145 + copies, or rights to use copies, from you under this General Public 146 + License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties 147 + remain in full compliance. 148 + 149 + 5. By copying, distributing or modifying the Program (or any work based 150 + on the Program) you indicate your acceptance of this license to do so, 151 + and all its terms and conditions. 152 + 153 + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the 154 + Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original 155 + licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these 156 + terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the 157 + recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. 158 + 159 + 7. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions 160 + of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will 161 + be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to 162 + address new problems or concerns. 163 + 164 + Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program 165 + specifies a version number of the license which applies to it and "any 166 + later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions 167 + either of that version or of any later version published by the Free 168 + Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of 169 + the license, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software 170 + Foundation. 171 + 172 + 8. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free 173 + programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author 174 + to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free 175 + Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes 176 + make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals 177 + of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and 178 + of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. 179 + 180 + NO WARRANTY 181 + 182 + 9. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY 183 + FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN 184 + OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES 185 + PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED 186 + OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF 187 + MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS 188 + TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE 189 + PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, 190 + REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 191 + 192 + 10. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING 193 + WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR 194 + REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, 195 + INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING 196 + OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED 197 + TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY 198 + YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER 199 + PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE 200 + POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 201 + 202 + END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS 203 + 204 + Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs 205 + 206 + If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest 207 + possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it 208 + free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these 209 + terms. 210 + 211 + To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to 212 + attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey 213 + the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the 214 + "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. 215 + 216 + <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> 217 + Copyright (C) 19yy <name of author> 218 + 219 + This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify 220 + it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by 221 + the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) 222 + any later version. 223 + 224 + This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, 225 + but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of 226 + MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the 227 + GNU General Public License for more details. 228 + 229 + You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License 230 + along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software 231 + Foundation, Inc., 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA. 232 + 233 + Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. 234 + 235 + If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this 236 + when it starts in an interactive mode: 237 + 238 + Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) 19xx name of author 239 + Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. 240 + This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it 241 + under certain conditions; type `show c' for details. 242 + 243 + The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the 244 + appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the 245 + commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show 246 + c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your 247 + program. 248 + 249 + You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your 250 + school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if 251 + necessary. Here a sample; alter the names: 252 + 253 + Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the 254 + program `Gnomovision' (a program to direct compilers to make passes 255 + at assemblers) written by James Hacker. 256 + 257 + <signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 258 + Ty Coon, President of Vice 259 + 260 + That's all there is to it!
