+GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+==========================
+
+Version 3, 29 June 2007
+=======================
+
+ Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. http://fsf.org/ Everyone is permitted to copy
+ and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+Preamble
+========
+
+The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for software and other kinds of works.
+
+The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed to take away your freedom to
+share and change the works. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee
+your freedom to share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free software
+for all its users. We, the Free Software Foundation, use the GNU General Public License for most of
+our software; it applies also to any other work released this way by its authors. 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 them 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 prevent others from denying you these rights or asking you to
+surrender the rights. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the
+software, or if you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
+
+For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must pass
+on to the recipients the same freedoms that you received. 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.
+
+Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the
+software, and (2) offer you this License giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or
+modify it.
+
+For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains that there is no warranty for
+this free software. For both users' and authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be
+marked as changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to authors of previous
+versions.
+
+Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run modified versions of the software
+inside them, although the manufacturer can do so. This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
+protecting users' freedom to change the software. The systematic pattern of such abuse occurs in the
+area of products for individuals to use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.
+Therefore, we have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those products. If
+such problems arise substantially in other domains, we stand ready to extend this provision to those
+domains in future versions of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
+
+Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents. States should not allow patents
+to restrict development and use of software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we
+wish to avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could make it effectively
+proprietary. To prevent this, the GPL assures that patents cannot be used to render the program
+non-free.
+
+The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
+
+TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+====================
+
+0. Definitions.
+---------------
+
+*"This License"* refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
+
+*"Copyright"* also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of works, such as
+semiconductor masks.
+
+*"The Program"* refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this License. Each licensee is
+addressed as *"you"*. *"Licensees"* and "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
+
+To *"modify"* a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work in a fashion requiring
+copyright permission, other than the making of an exact copy. The resulting work is called a
+*"modified version"* of the earlier work or a work *"based on"* the earlier work.
+
+A *"covered work"* means either the unmodified Program or a work based on the Program.
+
+To *"propagate"* a work means to do anything with it that, without permission, would make you
+directly or secondarily liable for infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
+on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes copying, distribution (with or
+without modification), making available to the public, and in some countries other activities as
+well.
+
+To *"convey"* a work means any kind of propagation that enables other parties to make or receive
+copies. Mere interaction with a user through a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not
+conveying.
+
+An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices" to the extent that it includes a
+convenient and prominently visible feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and
+(2) tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the extent that warranties are
+provided), that licensees may convey the work under this License, and how to view a copy of this
+License. If the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a menu, a prominent
+item in the list meets this criterion.
+
+1. Source Code.
+---------------
+
+The *"source code"* for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
+*"Object code"* means any non-source form of a work.
+
+A *"Standard Interface"* means an interface that either is an official standard defined by a
+recognized standards body, or, in the case of interfaces specified for a particular programming
+language, one that is widely used among developers working in that language.
+
+The *"System Libraries"* of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole,
+that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of
+that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to
+implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code
+form. A "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window
+system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a
+compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
+
+The *"Corresponding Source"* for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to
+generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work,
+including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System
+Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified
+in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source
+includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code
+for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to
+require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other
+parts of the work.
+
+The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users can regenerate automatically from
+other parts of the Corresponding Source.
+
+The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that same work.
+
+2. Basic Permissions.
+---------------------
+
+All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of copyright on the Program, and are
+irrevocable provided the stated conditions are met. This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
+permission to run the unmodified Program. The output from running a covered work is covered by this
+License only if the output, given its content, constitutes a covered work. This License acknowledges
+your rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
+
+You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not convey, without conditions so long as
+your license otherwise remains in force. You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
+of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you with facilities for running
+those works, provided that you comply with the terms of this License in conveying all material for
+which you do not control copyright. Those thus making or running the covered works for you must do
+so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction and control, on terms that prohibit them from
+making any copies of your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
+
+Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under the conditions stated below.
+Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10 makes it unnecessary.
+
+3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
+--------------------------------------------------------------
+
+No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological measure under any applicable law
+fulfilling obligations under article 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
+similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such measures.
+
+When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid circumvention of technological
+measures to the extent such circumvention is effected by exercising rights under this License with
+respect to the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or modification of
+the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's users, your or third parties' legal rights to
+forbid circumvention of technological measures.
+
+4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
+-----------------------------
+
+You may convey 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; keep intact all notices stating that this License and any non-permissive terms added in
+accord with section 7 apply to the code; keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and
+give all recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
+
+You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey, and you may offer support or
+warranty protection for a fee.
+
+5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
+--------------------------------------
+
+You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to produce it from the Program, in
+the form of source code under the terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these
+conditions:
+
+ a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
+ it, and giving a relevant date.
+
+ b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
+ released under this License and any conditions added under section
+ 7. This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
+ "keep intact all notices".
+
+ c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
+ License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy. This
+ License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
+ additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
+ regardless of how they are packaged. This License gives no
+ permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
+ invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
+
+ d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
+ Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
+ interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
+ work need not make them do so.
+
+A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent works, which are not by their
+nature extensions of the covered work, and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger
+program, in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
+compilation and its resulting copyright are not used to limit the access or legal rights of the
+compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit. Inclusion of a covered work in an
+aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other parts of the aggregate.
+
+6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
+------------------------------
+
+You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that
+you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of
+these ways:
+
+ a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
+ Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
+ customarily used for software interchange.
+
+ b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
+ (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
+ written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
+ long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
+ model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
+ copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
+ product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
+ medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
+ more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
+ conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
+ Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
+
+ c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
+ written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This
+ alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
+ only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
+ with subsection 6b.
+
+ d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
+ place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
+ Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
+ further charge. You need not require recipients to copy the
+ Corresponding Source along with the object code. If the place to
+ copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
+ may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
+ that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
+ clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
+ Corresponding Source. Regardless of what server hosts the
+ Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
+ available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
+
+ e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
+ you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
+ Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
+ charge under subsection 6d.
+
+A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded from the Corresponding Source
+as a System Library, need not be included in conveying the object code work.
+
+A *"User Product"* is either (1) a *"consumer product"*, which means any tangible personal property
+which is normally used for personal, family, or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold
+for incorporation into a dwelling. In determining whether a product is a consumer product, doubtful
+cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage. For a particular product received by a particular
+user, "normally used" refers to a typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the
+status of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user actually uses, or expects
+or is expected to use, the product. A product is a consumer product regardless of whether the
+product has substantial commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent the
+only significant mode of use of the product.
+
+*"Installation Information"* for a User Product means any methods, procedures, authorization keys,
+or other information required to install and execute modified versions of a covered work in that
+User Product from a modified version of its Corresponding Source. The information must suffice to
+ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object code is in no case prevented or
+interfered with solely because modification has been made.
+
+If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or specifically for use in, a User
+Product, and the conveying occurs as part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use
+of the User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a fixed term (regardless of
+how the transaction is characterized), the Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be
+accompanied by the Installation Information. But this requirement does not apply if neither you nor
+any third party retains the ability to install modified object code on the User Product (for
+example, the work has been installed in ROM).
+
+The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a requirement to continue to
+provide support service, warranty, or updates for a work that has been modified or installed by the
+recipient, or for the User Product in which it has been modified or installed. Access to a network
+may be denied when the modification itself materially and adversely affects the operation of the
+network or violates the rules and protocols for communication across the network.
+
+Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided, in accord with this section
+must be in a format that is publicly documented (and with an implementation available to the public
+in source code form), and must require no special password or key for unpacking, reading or copying.
+
+7. Additional Terms.
+--------------------
+
+*"Additional permissions"* are terms that supplement the terms of this License by making exceptions
+from one or more of its conditions. Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program
+shall be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent that they are valid
+under applicable law. If additional permissions apply only to part of the Program, that part may be
+used separately under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by this License
+without regard to the additional permissions.
+
+When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option remove any additional permissions
+from that copy, or from any part of it. (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
+removal in certain cases when you modify the work.) You may place additional permissions on
+material, added by you to a covered work, for which you have or can give appropriate copyright
+permission.
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you add to a covered work, you may
+(if authorized by the copyright holders of that material) supplement the terms of this License with
+terms:
+
+ a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
+ terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
+
+ b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
+ author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
+ Notices displayed by works containing it; or
+
+ c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
+ requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
+ reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
+
+ d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
+ authors of the material; or
+
+ e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
+ trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
+
+ f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
+ material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
+ it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
+ any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
+ those licensors and authors.
+
+All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further restrictions" within the meaning
+of section 10. If the Program as you received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that
+it is governed by this License along with a term that is a further restriction, you may remove that
+term. If a license document contains a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying
+under this License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms of that license
+document, provided that the further restriction does not survive such relicensing or conveying.
+
+If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you must place, in the relevant
+source files, a statement of the additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
+where to find the applicable terms.
+
+Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the form of a separately written
+license, or stated as exceptions; the above requirements apply either way.
+
+8. Termination.
+---------------
+
+You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly provided under this License. Any
+attempt otherwise to propagate or modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights
+under this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third paragraph of section 11).
+
+However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your license from a particular copyright
+holder is reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and finally
+terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright holder fails to notify you of the
+violation by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after the cessation.
+
+Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated permanently if the copyright
+holder notifies you of the violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
+received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that copyright holder, and you cure
+the violation prior to 30 days after your receipt of the notice.
+
+Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the licenses of parties who have
+received copies or rights from you under this License. If your rights have been terminated and not
+permanently reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same material under
+section 10.
+
+9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
+---------------------------------------------
+
+You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.
+Ancillary propagation of a covered work occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer
+transmission to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance. However, nothing other than
+this License grants you permission to propagate or modify any covered work. These actions infringe
+copyright if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or propagating a covered work,
+you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
+
+10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensors, to run, modify and propagate that work, subject to this License. You are not
+responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
+
+An *"entity transaction"* is a transaction transferring control of an organization, or substantially
+all assets of one, or subdividing an organization, or merging organizations. If propagation of a
+covered work results from an entity transaction, each party to that transaction who receives a copy
+of the work also receives whatever licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or
+could give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the Corresponding Source of
+the work from the predecessor in interest, if the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable
+efforts.
+
+You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the rights granted or affirmed under
+this License. For example, you may not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise
+of rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation (including a cross-claim
+or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling,
+offering for sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
+
+11. Patents.
+------------
+
+A *"contributor"* is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this License of the Program or a
+work on which the Program is based. The work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor
+version".
+
+A contributor's *"essential patent claims"* are all patent claims owned or controlled by the
+contributor, whether already acquired or hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner,
+permitted by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version, but do not include
+claims that would be infringed only as a consequence of further modification of the contributor
+version. For purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant patent sublicenses
+in a manner consistent with the requirements of this License.
+
+Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under the
+contributor's essential patent claims, to make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run,
+modify and propagate the contents of its contributor version.
+
+In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express agreement or commitment,
+however denominated, not to enforce a patent (such as an express permission to practice a patent or
+covenant not to sue for patent infringement). To "grant" such a patent license to a party means to
+make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a patent against the party.
+
+If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license, and the Corresponding Source of
+the work is not available for anyone to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License,
+through a publicly available network server or other readily accessible means, then you must either
+(1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the
+benefit of the patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner consistent with
+the requirements of this License, to extend the patent license to downstream recipients. "Knowingly
+relying" means you have actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
+covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work in a country, would infringe
+one or more identifiable patents in that country that you have reason to believe are valid.
+
+If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or arrangement, you convey, or propagate
+by procuring conveyance of, a covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
+receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify or convey a specific copy of
+the covered work, then the patent license you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of
+the covered work and works based on it.
+
+A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within the scope of its coverage,
+prohibits the exercise of, or is conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that
+are specifically granted under this License. You may not convey a covered work if you are a party to
+an arrangement with a third party that is in the business of distributing software, under which you
+make payment to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying the work, and
+under which the third party grants, to any of the parties who would receive the covered work from
+you, a discriminatory patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work conveyed by
+you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily for and in connection with specific
+products or compilations that contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement, or
+that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
+
+Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting any implied license or other
+defenses to infringement that may otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
+
+12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
+------------------------------------
+
+If 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 convey a covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and
+any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not convey it at all. For example, if
+you agree to terms that obligate you to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom
+you convey the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
+
+13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any
+covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a
+single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
+apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General
+Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination
+as such.
+
+14. Revised Versions of this License.
+-------------------------------------
+
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the GNU 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 that a certain
+numbered version of the GNU General Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have
+the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later
+version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number
+of the GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
+If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future versions of the GNU General Public
+License can be used, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes
+you to choose that version for the Program.
+
+Later license versions may give you additional or different permissions. However, no additional
+obligations are imposed on any author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
+later version.
+
+15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
+---------------------------
+
+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.
+
+16. Limitation of Liability.
+----------------------------

+-----------------------------------------
+
+If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided above cannot be given local legal
+effect according to their terms, reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely
+approximates an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the Program, unless a
+warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a copy of the Program in return for a fee.

+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 state 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 3 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, see <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/>.
+
+Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
+
+If the program does terminal interaction, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in
+an interactive mode:
+
+::
+
+ <program> Copyright (C) <year> <name of author>
+ This program 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, your program's commands might be different; for a GUI interface, you
+would use an "about box".
+
+You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or school, if any, to sign a
+"copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. For more information on this, and how to apply
+and follow the GNU GPL, see http://www.gnu.org/licenses/.
+
+The GNU 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. But first, please read
+http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/why-not-lgpl.html.
