  31 +EXHIBIT A
  32 +
  33 + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  34 + Version 2, June 1991
  35 +
  36 + Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  37 + 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
  38 + Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
  39 + of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
  40 +
  41 + Preamble
  42 +
  43 + The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
  44 +freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
  45 +License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
  46 +software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
  47 +General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
  48 +Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
  49 +using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
  50 +the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
  51 +your programs, too.
  52 +
  53 + When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
  54 +price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
  55 +have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
  56 +this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
  57 +if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
  58 +in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
  59 +
  60 + To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
  61 +anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
  62 +These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
  63 +distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
  64 +
  65 + For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
  66 +gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
  67 +you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
  68 +source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
  69 +rights.
  70 +
  71 + We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
  72 +(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
  73 +distribute and/or modify the software.
  74 +
  75 + Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
  76 +that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
  77 +software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
  78 +want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
  79 +that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
  80 +authors' reputations.
  81 +
  82 + Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
  83 +patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
  84 +program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
  85 +program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
  86 +patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
  87 +
  88 + The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
  89 +modification follow.
  90 +
  91 + GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
  92 + TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
  93 +
  94 + 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
  95 +a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
  96 +under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below,
  97 +refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
  98 +means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
  99 +that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
  100 +either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
  101 +language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
  102 +the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".
  103 +
  104 +Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
  105 +covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
  106 +running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
  107 +is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
  108 +Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
  109 +Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
  110 +
  111 + 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
  112 +source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
  113 +conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
  114 +copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
  115 +notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
  116 +and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
  117 +along with the Program.
  118 +
  119 +You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
  120 +you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
  121 +
  122 + 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
  123 +of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
  124 +distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
  125 +above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
  126 +
  127 + a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
  128 + stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
  129 +
  130 + b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
  131 + whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
  132 + part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
  133 + parties under the terms of this License.
  134 +
  135 + c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
  136 + when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
  137 + interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
  138 + announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
  139 + notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
  140 + a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
  141 + these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
  142 + License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
  143 + does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
  144 + the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
  145 +
  146 +These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
  147 +identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
  148 +and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
  149 +themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
  150 +sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
  151 +distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
  152 +on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
  153 +this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
  154 +entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
  155 +
  156 +Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
  157 +your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
  158 +exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
  159 +collective works based on the Program.
  160 +
  161 +In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
  162 +with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
  163 +a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
  164 +the scope of this License.
  165 +
  166 + 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
  167 +under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
  168 +Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
  169 +
  170 + a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
  171 + source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
  172 + 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
  173 +
  174 + b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
  175 + years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
  176 + cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
  177 + machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
  178 + distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
  179 + customarily used for software interchange; or,
  180 +
  181 + c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
  182 + to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
  183 + allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
  184 + received the program in object code or executable form with such
  185 + an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
  186 +
  187 +The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
  188 +making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
  189 +code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
  190 +associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
  191 +control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
  192 +special exception, the source code distributed need not include
  193 +anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
  194 +form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
  195 +operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
  196 +itself accompanies the executable.
  197 +
  198 +If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
  199 +access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
  200 +access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
  201 +distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
  202 +compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
  203 +
  204 + 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
  205 +except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
  206 +otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
  207 +void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
  208 +However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
  209 +this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
  210 +parties remain in full compliance.
  211 +
  212 + 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
  213 +signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
  214 +distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
  215 +prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
  216 +modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
  217 +Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
  218 +all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
  219 +the Program or works based on it.
  220 +
  221 + 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
  222 +Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
  223 +original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
  224 +these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
  225 +restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
  226 +You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
  227 +this License.
  228 +
  229 + 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
  230 +infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
  231 +conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
  232 +otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
  233 +excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
  234 +distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
  235 +License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
  236 +may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
  237 +license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
  238 +all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
  239 +the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
  240 +refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
  241 +
  242 +If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
  243 +any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
  244 +apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
  245 +circumstances.
  246 +
  247 +It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
  248 +patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
  249 +such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
  250 +integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
  251 +implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
  252 +generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
  253 +through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
  254 +system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
  255 +to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
  256 +impose that choice.
  257 +
  258 +This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
  259 +be a consequence of the rest of this License.
  260 +
  261 + 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
  262 +certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
  263 +original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
  264 +may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
  265 +those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
  266 +countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
  267 +the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
  268 +
  269 + 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
  270 +of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
  271 +be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
  272 +address new problems or concerns.
  273 +
  274 +Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
  275 +specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
  276 +later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
  277 +either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
  278 +Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
  279 +this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
  280 +Foundation.
  281 +
  282 + 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
  283 +programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
  284 +to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
  285 +Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
  286 +make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
  287 +of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
  288 +of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.
  289 +
  290 + NO WARRANTY
  291 +
  292 + 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
  293 +FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN
  294 +OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
  295 +PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
  296 +OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
  297 +MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS
  298 +TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE
  299 +PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
  300 +REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  301 +
  302 + 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
  303 +WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
  304 +REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
  305 +INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
  306 +OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
  307 +TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
  308 +YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
  309 +PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
  310 +POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
