    <p>Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place - Suite 330,
    Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA</p>
    <p>Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document,
    but changing it is not allowed.</p>
    <h2><a href="http://snake.cam-orl.co.uk/vnc/gpl.html#TOC2" name="SEC2">Preamble</a></h2>
    <p>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 Library General Public License
    instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. </p>
    <h2><a href="http://snake.cam-orl.co.uk/vnc/gpl.html#TOC3" name="SEC3">TERMS AND CONDITIONS
    FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION</a></h2>
    <p><strong>0.</strong> 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 &quot;Program&quot;, below, refers to any such program or
    work, and a &quot;work based on the Program&quot; 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
    &quot;modification&quot;.) Each licensee is addressed as &quot;you&quot;. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p><strong>1.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p><strong>2.</strong> 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: </p>
    <p>&nbsp;<ul>
      <li><strong>a)</strong> You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
        that you changed the files and the date of any change. </li>
      <li><strong>b)</strong> 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. </li>
      <li><strong>c)</strong> 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.) </li>
    </ul>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p><strong>3.</strong> 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:<!-- we use this doubled UL to get the sub-sections indented, --><!-- while making the bullets as unobvious as possible. --> <ul>
      <li><strong>a)</strong> 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, </li>
      <li><strong>b)</strong> 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, </li>
      <li><strong>c)</strong> 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.) </li>
    </ul>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p><strong>4.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p><strong>5.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p><strong>6.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p><strong>7.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence
    of the rest of this License. </p>
    <p><strong>8.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p><strong>9.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p>Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a
    version number of this License which applies to it and &quot;any later version&quot;, 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. </p>
    <p><strong>10.</strong> 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. </p>
    <p><strong>NO WARRANTY</strong></p>
    <p><strong>11.</strong> 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 &quot;AS
    IS&quot; 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. </p>
    <p><strong>12.</strong> 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. </p>

    <h2>END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS</h2>
    <h2><a href="http://snake.cam-orl.co.uk/vnc/gpl.html#TOC4" name="SEC4">How to Apply These
    Terms to Your New Programs</a></h2>
    <p>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. </p>
    <p>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 &quot;copyright&quot; line and a pointer to where the
    full notice is found. </p>
