APPENDIX
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
