this License, you may apply this License to the program by
attaching the notices described below.

It is recommended to place these notices at the beginning of
each source file, in order to clearly indicate the applicable
license terms and the exclusion of warranty. Each file should
include at least a copyright notice and a reference to where the
full text of this License can be found.

You are encouraged to include information on how to contact the

If the program provides an interactive user interface, whether
through a terminal, graphical interface, or network-based system,
it should display Appropriate Legal Notices in a reasonable and
prominent manner. Such notices should include a copyright notice,
a statement that the program is provided without warranty, and
information on how to view a copy of this License.

If you develop the program as part of your employment, education,
or under contract, you should ensure that no conflicting claims
exist with respect to the copyright of the program, or that any
required permissions or disclaimers have been obtained.

This License is a copyleft license. Works covered by it may not
be incorporated into proprietary works except as expressly
permitted by the terms of this License. If you intend to permit
use, linking, or incorporation under different conditions, you
should carefully evaluate whether a different license better
suits your goals.
