+     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR USE, REPRODUCTION, AND DISTRIBUTION
+
+     1. Definitions.
+
+        "License" shall mean the terms and conditions for use, reproduction,
+        and distribution as defined by Sections 1 through 9 of this document.

+        "Licensor" shall mean the copyright owner or entity authorized by
+        the copyright owner that is granting the License.
+
+        "Legal Entity" shall mean the union of the acting entity and all
+        other entities that control, are controlled by, or are under common
+        control with that entity. For the purposes of this definition,
+        "control" means (i) the power, direct or indirect, to cause the
+        direction or management of such entity, whether by contract or
+        otherwise, or (ii) ownership of fifty percent (50%) or more of the
+        outstanding shares, or (iii) beneficial ownership of such entity.
+
+        "You" (or "Your") shall mean an individual or Legal Entity
+        exercising permissions granted by this License.
+
+        "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
+        including but not limited to software source code, documentation
+        source, and configuration files.
+
+        "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
+        transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
+        not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
+        and conversions to other media types.
+
+        "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
+        Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
+        copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+        (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+        "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+        form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+        editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+        represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+        of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
+        separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
+        the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+        "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including
+        the original version of the Work and any modifications or additions
+        to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
+        submitted to Licensor for inclusion in the Work by the copyright owner
+        or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of
+        the copyright owner. For the purposes of this definition, "submitted"
+        means any form of electronic, verbal, or written communication sent
+        to the Licensor or its representatives, including but not limited to
+        communication on electronic mailing lists, source code control systems,
+        and issue tracking systems that are managed by, or on behalf of, the
+        Licensor for the purpose of discussing and improving the Work, but
+        excluding communication that is conspicuously marked or otherwise
+        designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."
+
+        "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
+        on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
+        subsequently incorporated within the Work.
+
+     2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+        this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+        worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+        copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
+        publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
+        Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+     3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+        this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+        worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+        (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+        use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
+        where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
+        by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+        Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+        with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+        institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+        cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+        or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+        or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+        granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+        as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+     4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+        Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+        modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+        meet the following conditions:
+
+        (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+            Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+        (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+            stating that You changed the files; and
+
+        (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+            that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+            attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+            excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+            the Derivative Works; and
+
+        (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+            distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+            include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+            within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+            pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+            of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+            as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+            documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+            within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+            wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+            of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+            do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+            notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+            or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+            that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+            as modifying the License.
+
+        You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+        may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+        for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+        for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+        reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+        the conditions stated in this License.
+
+     5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+        any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+        by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+        this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+        Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+        the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+        with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+     6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+        names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+        except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+        origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+     7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+        agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+        Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+        WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+        implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+        of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+        PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+        appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+        risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+     8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+        whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+        unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+        negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+        liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+        incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+        result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+        Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+        work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+        other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+        has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+     9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+        the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+        and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+        or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+        License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+        on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+        of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+        defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+        incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+        of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+  			    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 guarantee 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.
+
+    For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+  gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+  you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+  source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
+  rights.
+
+    We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+  (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+  distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+    Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+  that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+  software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+  want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+  that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+  authors' reputations.
+
+    Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+  patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+  program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+  program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+  patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+    The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+  modification follow.
+
+  		    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+     TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
+
+    0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+  a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+  under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
+  refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
+  means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+  that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+  either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+  language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+  the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".
+
+  Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+  covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
+  running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+  is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+  Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+  Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
+    1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+  source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+  conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+  copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+  notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+  and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+  along with the Program.
+
+  You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+  you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+    2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+  of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+  distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+  above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
+      a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+      stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
+      b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+      whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+      part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+      parties under the terms of this License.
+
+      c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+      when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+      interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+      announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+      notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+      a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+      these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+      License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+      does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+      the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
+
+  These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
+  identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+  and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+  themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+  sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
+  distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+  on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+  this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+  entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+  Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+  your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+  exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+  collective works based on the Program.
+
+  In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+  with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+  a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+  the scope of this License.
+
+    3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+  under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+  Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
+      a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+      source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+      1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+      b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+      years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+      cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+      machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+      distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+      customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
+      c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+      to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
+      allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+      received the program in object code or executable form with such
+      an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
+
+  The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+  making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
+  code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+  associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+  control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
+  special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+  anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+  form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+  operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+  itself accompanies the executable.
+
+  If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+  access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+  access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+  distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+  compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
+    4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+  except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
+  otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+  void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+  However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+  this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+  parties remain in full compliance.
+
+    5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+  signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+  distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
+  prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
+  modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+  Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+  all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+  the Program or works based on it.
+
+    6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+  Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+  original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+  these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
+  restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+  You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+  this License.
+
+    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
+
+  	    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 a brief idea of what it does.>
+      Copyright (C) <year>  <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.,
+      51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 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 Lesser General
+  Public License instead of this License.
+
+
+  "CLASSPATH" EXCEPTION TO THE GPL
+
+      Linking this library statically or dynamically with other modules is making
+      a combined work based on this library.  Thus, the terms and conditions of
+      the GNU General Public License cover the whole combination.
+
+      As a special exception, the copyright holders of this library give you
+      permission to link this library with independent modules to produce an
+      executable, regardless of the license terms of these independent modules,
+      and to copy and distribute the resulting executable under terms of your
+      choice, provided that you also meet, for each linked independent module,
+      the terms and conditions of the license of that module.  An independent
+      module is a module which is not derived from or based on this library.  If
+      you modify this library, you may extend this exception to your version of
+      the library, but you are not obligated to do so.  If you do not wish to do
+  so, delete this exception statement from your version.
