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

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and

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 interac-
tive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announce-
ment 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
