+ GDB GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
+ (Clarified 20 March 1987)
+
+ Copyright (C) 1986 Richard M. Stallman
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ The license agreements of most software companies keep you at the
+mercy of those companies. By contrast, our general public license is
+intended to give everyone the right to share GDB. To make sure that
+you get the rights we want you to have, we need to make restrictions
+that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender
+the rights. Hence this license agreement.
+
+ Specifically, we want to make sure that you have the right to give
+away copies of GDB, that you receive source code or else can get it
+if you want it, that you can change GDB or use pieces of it in new
+free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To make sure that everyone has such rights, we have to forbid you to
+deprive anyone else of these rights. For example, if you distribute
+copies of GDB, 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 tell them their rights.
+
+ Also, for our own protection, we must make certain that everyone
+finds out that there is no warranty for GDB. If GDB is modified by
+someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what
+they have is not what we distributed, so that any problems introduced
+by others will not reflect on our reputation.
+
+ Therefore we (Richard Stallman and the Free Software Foundation,
+Inc.) make the following terms which say what you must do to be
+allowed to distribute or change GDB.
+
+
+ COPYING POLICIES
+
+ 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of GDB source code as
+you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
+appropriately publish on each copy a valid copyright notice "Copyright
+(C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with the year updated if
+that is appropriate); keep intact the notices on all files that refer
+to this License Agreement and to the absence of any warranty; and give
+any other recipients of the GDB program a copy of this License
+Agreement along with the program. You may charge a distribution fee
+for the physical act of transferring a copy.
+
+ 2. You may modify your copy or copies of GDB or any portion of it,
+and copy and distribute such modifications under the terms of
+Paragraph 1 above, provided that you also do the following:
+
+ a) cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating
+ that you changed the files and the date of any change; and
+
+ b) cause the whole of any work that you distribute or publish,
+ that in whole or in part contains or is a derivative of GDB or any
+ part thereof, to be licensed at no charge to all third parties on
+ terms identical to those contained in this License Agreement
+ (except that you may choose to grant more extensive warranty
+ protection to third parties, at your option).
+
+ c) if the modified program serves as a debugger, cause it
+ when started running in the simplest and usual way, to print
+ an announcement including a valid copyright notice
+ "Copyright (C) 1986 Free Software Foundation, Inc." (or with
+ the year updated if appropriate), saying 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 Agreement.
+
+ d) You may charge a distribution fee for the physical act of
+ transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty
+ protection in exchange for a fee.
+
+ 3. You may copy and distribute GDB or any portion of it in
+compiled, executable or object code form under the terms of Paragraphs
+1 and 2 above provided that you do the following:
+
+ a) cause each such copy to be accompanied by the
+ corresponding machine-readable source code, which must
+ be distributed under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+ b) cause each such copy to be accompanied by a
+ written offer, with no time limit, to give any third party
+ free (except for a nominal shipping charge) a machine readable
+ copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed
+ under the terms of Paragraphs 1 and 2 above; or,
+
+ c) in the case of a recipient of GDB in compiled, executable
+ or object code form (without the corresponding source code) you
+ shall cause copies you distribute to be accompanied by a copy
+ of the written offer of source code which you received along
+ with the copy you received.
+
+ 4. You may not copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB
+except as expressly provided under this License Agreement. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, sublicense, distribute or transfer GDB is void and
+your rights to use the program under this License agreement shall be
+automatically terminated. However, parties who have received computer
+software programs from you with this License Agreement will not have
+their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 5. If you wish to incorporate parts of GDB into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the Free
+Software Foundation at 675 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139. We have not yet
+worked out a simple rule that can be stated here, but we will often permit
+this. We 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.
+
+In other words, go ahead and share GDB, but don't try to stop
+anyone else from sharing it farther. Help stamp out software hoarding!
+
+ NO WARRANTY
+
+ BECAUSE GDB IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, WE PROVIDE ABSOLUTELY NO
+WARRANTY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE STATE LAW. EXCEPT
+WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC,
+RICHARD M. STALLMAN AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE GDB "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 GDB IS WITH YOU. SHOULD GDB PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU
+ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
+
+ IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW WILL RICHARD M.
+STALLMAN, THE FREE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, INC., AND/OR ANY OTHER PARTY
+WHO MAY MODIFY AND REDISTRIBUTE GDB AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO
+YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST MONIES, OR OTHER
+SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
+INABILITY TO USE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA
+BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY THIRD PARTIES OR A
+FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS) GDB, EVEN
+IF YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, OR FOR
+ANY CLAIM BY ANY OTHER PARTY.
