+ Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+                       51 Franklin St, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+			    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 Library 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 St, 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 Library General
+Public License instead of this License.

+OPEN SOFTWARE LICENSE 3.0 (OSL-3.0)
+
+This Open Software License (the "License") applies to any original work
+of authorship (the "Original Work") whose owner (the "Licensor") has
+placed the following licensing notice adjacent to the copyright notice
+for the Original Work:
+
+Licensed under the Open Software License version 3.0
+
+1) Grant of Copyright License. Licensor grants You a worldwide,
+royalty-free, non-exclusive, sublicensable license, for the duration of
+the copyright, to do the following:
+
+a) to reproduce the Original Work in copies, either alone or as part of
+a collective work;
+
+b) to translate, adapt, alter, transform, modify, or arrange the
+Original Work, thereby creating derivative works ("Derivative Works")
+based upon the Original Work;
+
+c) to distribute or communicate copies of the Original Work and
+Derivative Works to the public, with the proviso that copies of Original
+Work or Derivative Works that You distribute or communicate shall be
+licensed under this Open Software License;
+
+d) to perform the Original Work publicly; and
+
+e) to display the Original Work publicly.
+
+2) Grant of Patent License. Licensor grants You a worldwide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive, sublicensable license, under patent claims owned or
+controlled by the Licensor that are embodied in the Original Work as
+furnished by the Licensor, for the duration of the patents, to make, use,
+sell, offer for sale, have made, and import the Original Work and
+Derivative Works.
+
+3) Grant of Source Code License. The term "Source Code" means the preferred
+form of the Original Work for making modifications to it and all available
+documentation describing how to modify the Original Work. Licensor agrees
+to provide a machine-readable copy of the Source Code of the Original Work
+along with each copy of the Original Work that Licensor distributes.
+Licensor reserves the right to satisfy this obligation by placing a
+machine-readable copy of the Source Code in an information repository
+reasonably calculated to permit inexpensive and convenient access by You
+for as long as Licensor continues to distribute the Original Work.
+
+4) Exclusions From License Grant. Neither the names of Licensor, nor the
+names of any contributors to the Original Work, nor any of their
+trademarks or service marks, may be used to endorse or promote products
+derived from this Original Work without express prior permission of the
+Licensor. Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this License
+grants any license to Licensor's trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade
+secrets or any other intellectual property. No patent license is granted
+to make, use, sell, offer for sale, have made, or import embodiments of
+any patent claims other than the licensed claims defined in Section 2.
+No license is granted to the trademarks of Licensor even if such marks
+are included in the Original Work. Nothing in this License shall be
+interpreted to prohibit Licensor from licensing under terms different from
+this License any Original Work that Licensor otherwise would have a right
+to license.
+
+5) External Deployment. The term "External Deployment" means the use,
+distribution, or communication of the Original Work or Derivative Works in
+any way such that the Original Work or Derivative Works may be used by
+anyone other than You, whether those works are distributed or communicated
+to those persons or made available as an application intended for use over
+a network. As an express condition for the grants of license hereunder, You
+must treat any External Deployment by You of the Original Work or a
+Derivative Work as a distribution under section 1(c).
+
+6) Attribution Rights. You must retain, in the Source Code of any Derivative
+Works that You create, all copyright, patent, or trademark notices from the
+Source Code of the Original Work, as well as any notices of licensing and
+any descriptive text identified therein as an "Attribution Notice." You must
+cause the Source Code for any Derivative Works that You create to carry a
+prominent Attribution Notice reasonably calculated to inform recipients that
+You have modified the Original Work.
+
+7) Warranty of Provenance and Disclaimer of Warranty. Licensor warrants that
+the copyright in and to the Original Work and the patent rights granted
+herein by Licensor are owned by the Licensor or are sublicensed to You under
+the terms of this License with the permission of the contributor(s) of those
+copyrights and patent rights. Except as expressly stated in the immediately
+preceding sentence, the Original Work is provided under this License on an
+"AS IS" BASIS and WITHOUT WARRANTY, either express or implied, including,
+without limitation, the warranties of non-infringement, merchantability or
+fitness for a particular purpose. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY OF THE
+ORIGINAL WORK IS WITH YOU. This DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY constitutes an
+essential part of this License. No license to the Original Work is granted
+by this License except under this disclaimer.
+
+8) Limitation of Liability. Under no circumstances and under no legal theory,
+whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise, shall the
+Licensor be liable to anyone for any indirect, special, incidental, or
+consequential damages of any character arising as a result of this License or
+the use of the Original Work including, without limitation, damages for loss
+of goodwill, work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+other commercial damages or losses. This limitation of liability shall not
+apply to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation.
+
+9) Acceptance and Termination. If, at any time, You expressly assented to
+this License, that assent indicates your clear and irrevocable acceptance of
+this License and all of its terms and conditions. If You distribute or
+communicate copies of the Original Work or a Derivative Work, You must make
+a reasonable effort under the circumstances to obtain the express assent of
+recipients to the terms of this License. This License conditions your rights
+to undertake the activities listed in Section 1, including your right to
+create Derivative Works based upon the Original Work, and doing so without
+honoring these terms and conditions is prohibited by copyright law and
+international treaty. Nothing in this License is intended to affect copyright
+exceptions and limitations (including "fair use" or "fair dealing"). This
+License shall terminate immediately and You may no longer exercise any of the
+rights granted to You by this License upon your failure to honor the
+conditions in Section 1(c).
+
+10) Termination for Patent Action. This License shall terminate automatically
+and You may no longer exercise any of the rights granted to You by this
+License as of the date You commence an action, including a cross-claim or
+counterclaim, against Licensor or any licensee alleging that the Original
+Work infringes a patent. This termination provision shall not apply for an
+action alleging patent infringement by combinations of the Original Work with
+other software or hardware.
+
+11) Jurisdiction, Venue and Governing Law. Any action or suit relating to
+this License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction wherein the
+Licensor resides or in which Licensor conducts its primary business, and
+under the laws of that jurisdiction excluding its conflict-of-law provisions.
+The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the
+International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any use of the Original
+Work outside the scope of this License or after its termination shall be
+subject to the requirements and penalties of copyright or patent law in the
+appropriate jurisdiction. This section shall survive the termination of this
+License.
+
+12) Attorneys' Fees. In any action to enforce the terms of this License or
+seeking damages relating thereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
+recover its costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable
+attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with such action, including
+any appeal of such action. This section shall survive the termination of
+this License.
+
+13) Miscellaneous. If any provision of this License is held to be
+unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
+necessary to make it enforceable.
+
+14) Definition of "You" in This License. "You" throughout this License,
+whether in upper or lower case, means an individual or a legal entity
+exercising rights under, and complying with all of the terms of, this
+License. For legal entities, "You" includes any entity that controls,
+is controlled by, or is under common control with you. For 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.
+
+15) Right to Use. You may use the Original Work in all ways not
+otherwise restricted or conditioned by this License or by law, and
+Licensor promises not to interfere with or be responsible for such
+uses by You.
+
+16) Modification of This License. This License is Copyright © 2005
+Lawrence Rosen. Permission is granted to copy, distribute, or
+communicate this License without modification. Nothing in this License
+permits You to modify this License as applied to the Original Work or
+to Derivative Works. However, You may modify the text of this License
+and copy, distribute or communicate your modified version (the "Modified
+License") and apply it to other original works of authorship subject to
+the following conditions: (i) You may not indicate in any way that your
+Modified License is the "Open Software License" or "OSL" and you may not
+use those names in the name of your Modified License; (ii) You must replace
+the notice specified in the first paragraph above with the notice
+"Licensed under <insert your license name here>" or with a notice of your
+own that is not confusingly similar to the notice in this License; and
+(iii) You may not claim that your original works are open source software
+unless your Modified License has been approved by Open Source Initiative
+(OSI) and You comply with its license review and certification process.
